It’s weird how some people claim to be sex positive but are just as prudish as the religious conservatives they rail against.
Would it help if she was 400 pounds? Then it’s body positivity, and we’re allowed to like that!
Iraq independently passes shitty law
This is all America’s fault even though they aren’t there and have nothing to do with it
Surely if left to their own devices, a woman and LGBT friendly paradise would be there
America Bad even when an independent country makes its own decision somehow
You realize that by reducing all political activity in Iraq to the invasion of Iraq, you are posing the Iraqi people as puppets with no will of their own?
Putin loves white nationalist bullshit lol
Cry harder, fash
So, apparently you can make as shitty a game as you like, as long as there’s a streaming tie in people will eat that shit up. - the lesson publishers will get from this whole thing
I guess it worked for Cyberpunk.
Holy shit you must be 13 if you think RvB is from the 90s.
What do you do when you have prepared for nothing but peace and someone else brings war? That’s what the idiom means: you don’t prepare for war because you want it, you prepare for war because war literally never happens when you would like except when you are the one invading. If you want peace, you have to be prepared to defend yourself against people who do not desire or understand peace.
Please don’t continue to beat this dead horse. What made Mass Effect great was Drew Karpyshyn’s ideas and world building, a solid cast of characters, along with a lot of superb visual design. Mass Effect had such an interesting, detailed, lived-in universe. The quality of writing in the games after the first is perfectly proportional to the amount of Drew Karpyshyn’s involvement, and it sharply declines after the first. A fifth game made purely out of a corporate desire for profit and not to tell a story is unlikely to yield better results, in my mind - see Mass Effect: Andromeda for evidence on that.
It’s probably the fact that the writing was god awful. The gameplay was OK if repetitive, but Mass Effect with bad writing is just Binary Domain.
Any news about Musk ventures should inspire cynicism.
Cmon, he put lots of belts and zippers on things and gave us the not at all convoluted plot of Kingdom Hearts, that’s gotta count for something
Just kidding, Nomura and his enablers are the worst thing to happen to JRPGs
In what fucking universe are mergers and acquisitions difficult my man
Ironic that he basically kick-started the trend he criticizes with One Winged Angel, but maybe that’s why it gets to him.
No thank you, the VII remake feels like they are making the rest of the game in the next room. “No, you can’t do the next part, you have to collect flowers for orphans and have a motorcycle chase.” Constantly buying time with stupid crap.
The original was well paced and fun, they would undoubtedly fuck it up and have Tetsuya Nomura write it.
Metal Wolf Chaos should factor into all discussion, even those that have nothing to do with FromSoft.
LET’S PARTYYYYY!
You have a lot of terms conflated in a way that tells me you would benefit from learning more about these ideas.
Natural selection is the opposite of a motivation. All it really is this: Traits that help an organism live to reproduce or do not adversely affect its opportunity or ability to reproduce will continue to propagate in a population of organisms. Traits that hinder an organism in reproducing or adversely affect its opportunity or ability to reproduce will gradually be expressed less. There isn’t a motivation for that, it’s a self-selecting process. If an organism can’t reproduce, it can’t pass its traits on to the next generation. If it can reproduce, it can pass its traits on to the next generation.
Life isn’t motivated to survive because an omnipotent superintelligence wants it to be. All the life that didn’t give a shit about surviving didn’t live long enough to propagate.
Natural selection does not provide an origin for life or the universe. I agree with the other poster who mentions that organic matter - and life - is a result of the basic nature of matter in the universe. I wouldn’t say I know much about the origin of the universe, but inserting a god into it just kicks the can down the road. Every issue you might have with the big bang is just moved one completely unverifiable step away by throwing a god into the equation. Who made god? And, if god can exist without being created, why could not the universe?
No shit, they were discussing the possible geopolitical implications, not saying China is uniquely duplicitous. Please use your media literacy to not insert words into people’s mouths.

Why do people act like it’s righteous to suck off game companies? They won’t send you a copy for defending their honor online, that’s some mall ninja shit.
