That poster sounds a lot like my brother in law, honestly. Dude has 500 excuses for why he can't get a job (my personal favorite excuse is that his sleep schedule is too off from normal people), stays living with the grandparents and doing basically nothing all day, and his best accomplishment is a liberal arts associates degree at 28.

My biggest fear is him showing up on our doorstep one day with his hand out.

Have you ever felt a love so big, so great, so unconditional, that just knowing it existed filled you with hope everyday? That made you look forward to the future?  That made you happy to wake up?

I haven't. And the only reason I know it exists for other people is because they aren't as miserable as me and the only thing that could fill the gaping void in my chest is something that big.

There's a difference between having lots of friends and having one person that you truly gel with. To be understood.

 I have never felt that. Even among people that like me, I'm seen as eccentric. No one ever gets close.

I imagine that few people feel this way. Most people are either happy alone or already have other people in their life.

It's so easy. Like Breathing.  but I don't have that. I could disappear and no one would notice.  I could scream and no one would hear. I could die and no one would find my body.  I could go a week without speaking to another person. It's not hard. I'm a ghost.

Forget being insulted. Forget people telling you how shitty you are. If you really want to hurt someone just ignore them.

 maybe someday I'll wake up,  and I'll be a kid again. And I'll be surrounded by people who care about me and know I exist, and want me. But all I can think about is dying alone and being forgotten. And how f****** pointless it all was.

There's probably a lot of people in that situation. I feel degrees have gone down in worth. The less rare they became, the less an advantage they give you in being hired.

However, this RaoulDuke fellow is spotting a commie flag avatar and speaking of being entitled to things in a way I don't often see. I have heard people say "where's my government money?" when they see others unemployed and living in the relative same neighborhoods as them. This guy is in a hellhole and seems to think there is no way out of it, along with feeling that government assistance is something he owns. I have a lot of experience with people on financial assistance and this dude's mindset is not common.

Alright, honest question for others aside from Etiolate, Jaydubya and Spieler etc. Am i wrong to feel it's pretty fucked up how Reera whines about diversity in games like The Witcher and Kingdom Come? And im not talking about historical accuracy but the fact that these games are made by and in ethnically different regions than the typical AAA product.

For example, the portrayal of Slavic cultural nuances and authenticity in games like The Witcher and Metro is miles apart from the typical Hollywood and other mass media stuff. As far as im concerned, they pretty much tick the boxes for ethnic diversity compared to anything a typical American might consume.

[etiolate]

I hope that the Blue Tsunami crushes these fascist fucks.

That's asking a lot out of the blue eyed muffin man.

It does seem like a fakepost. The story about his grandpa is suspect as hell. A ww2 vet having a 27 yo grandson is not impossible, but likely uncommon. Some generation must have had a kid very late in life.

[Broseidon]

I thought it was pretty great that there's games where you play as/involving Slavs that isn't some 20thC war game or modern gangster game.

[Cream]

No shit dumbass.

Sorry, I’m not seeing the contradiction.

Kingdom Come sucking is separate from its lack of diversity which I think is just lame.

But I also don’t like the actual game itself.

But I still think that question is a bit loaded.

It's a game set in a region during a period of time where "diversity" (which to you, just means black people being included, you racist piece of shit) was non-existent.

And seriously, you played Kingdom Come? Way to support racism you fucking coddled, entitled, slacktivist dipshit.

I was going to bring up that large "white male" group cream crows about included people like the slavs who had been historically oppressed and many of which come out of an ancestry of reworded slavery, but like there's so many hills you have to drag cream over that you can't point out all the errors at once.

I’m sure you won’t care about my particular opinion on this, but for me honestly, the rabidness with which my allies criticize those specific games can be annoying.

Personally I love Witcher 3, like a lot, but I still do get feelings of something’s missing, until the DLC which does have brown-skinned characters, even if it’s in supporting or background roles. They give you alternate culture. You can shit on me all you want for this, but sorry not sorry. I’ve lived in a diverse area my whole life, I’m biracial, and basically an all-white story has to work harder, be better, have a unique angle for me to get excited these days. If you want to call that racist to make some kind of point at me, you can skip it. I get it. I’m just telling the truth. I live diversity, and I get excited when it’s represented in my games.

But I still love the Witcher. I think Kingdom Come wasn’t fun to play, so it already was losing me there. And while I see that unique culture, it wasn’t winning me over in spite of the gameplay.

Unfortunately I think with a good chunk, most, of my allies in America can’t help but approach things from an American lens. We’ve kind of degraded the meaning of unique European culture. Yes, there are Italians, Irish, Germans, Russians, etc. but for a lot of reasons, these groups are seen as “white”. And unfortunately that can color people’s judgements and make it harder to see the unique cultural differences between an authentically Slav story or authentically Irish story.

I think Vavra is a racist piece of shit. But I don’t fault the game for its culture. I just recognize it’s not for me, the game that is, not the culture.

I love Metro! And the uniqueness of polish fantasy in Witcher is consistently interesting. I agree with you that it is miles apart.

I mean, truly. This is me being honest about it. They still just see them as white, mostly. That’s the box not ticked. It’s a shame, sincerely.

This is an amazing story.

Lovell woke to his girlfriend of two years attacking him with a sword, police say. Survival instincts — mainly martial arts training and all the kung fu films he had watched — clicked in.

“I was able to wing chun my way to survival,” he told the Oregonian/OregonLive in an interview this week over Facebook messenger, referring to a Chinese martial art. He eventually wrapped Javier in a bear hug. “I saw the look in her eyes, and it scared the living poop out of me,” he told the news outlet. “I told her I loved her, and she was killing me. She needed to call police, or I was going to die.”

Javier broke off the attack and made the call, frantically telling a 911 operator she had stabbed her boyfriend and she thought he was dead. “You used a sword?” the operator asked.

A lot of the people complaining about the game seem to have trouble grasping the concept of a society that isn't structured the way theirs is. The politics of diversity, identity, and race in America is utterly fixated on White-Black (or non-"white") relations and mostly revolves around this. There could be criticisms of the game not having enough Poles, or Germans, or Magyars, or Jews, or Roma - but no, in America these (sans the last I guess?) are all lumped together under the monolith of "White" (at least in the 21stC  ) so that's how it is. Surprise surprise, not all societies think like this because the makeup and history of is not that of the USA - the White/Not-White racial conflict that is central to the US is not much of a factor in most of the world. Of course, not to say much of the world wouldn't be pretty damn racist to Black people, including Central and Eastern Europe.

As a generalisation, people from the US are some of the most self-centred in the world when it comes to viewing everything through the lens of their own society. How often is their a thread where someone (almost always an American, it seems) cant help but inject America into things in one way or another, or makes assumptions or misunderstandings about XYZ because they are simply imposing the framework of their own society on another - things like relations between different communities, stereotypes and prejudices, politics and ideologies. Everything has to fit into their American mental mould. As an aside, I imagine the chances of running into a Black person in modern day Czechia is quite low as it is, never mind rural Bohemia 600 years ago.

And Liberal arts can ecnompass a lot of subjects but if you're 30 and going back to college i'm not sure studying sociology is exactly your best bet because in most cases of a 30 something year old going back to college it's for financial gain in the future and unless you're going full on PHD a sociology degree won't get you that.

[paprikastaude]

The angle that was the closest to make sense as an argument against Kingdom Come Nazi was that people might have deliberately chosen a setting with no diversity in skin colour to begin with. But even that is reaching, since we aren't exactly swimming in medieval games and it's not really an outlandish desire to simulate the era (especially since there's never been such a thing without stupid ass goblins and dragons, outside of RTS' anyway). And while there is no objective history and we can't *really* fully prove anything without a time machine, you have to be particularly limited to think that the ethnic heterogeneity of the modern US is anything but an exception in the grand scheme of things.

Yes, yes, post your garbage.

Fine, I will:

As the former President of MIT has said:

He argued that the "indiscriminate hospitality" to more whose homes would be "filled by others as miserable as themselves" would not make up for any "permanent injury done to our republic," and that with the success of the American "experiment more would be done for the [home nations] than allowing its city slums and its vast stagnant reservoirs of degraded peasantry to be drained off upon our soil."

And Representative Johnson warns:

in a few years down the road without further restriction the currently despairing immigrants "will be pounding heavily at the very pillars of our government, where those who have come ahead of them a few years back with their socialism, their communism, their [revolutions], have merely gnawing like rats at our foundations."

Representative Box of Texas has outlined our future:

if America destroyed the "work of our fathers" and became "another Europe or Asia" leaving a world that would "grow visibly darker, even to the people of foreign lands, and all that is worth living for will have been lost to us, whether we came recently or our fathers came long ago."

Senator Heflin pointed out that in past wars we went:

"across the seas to defeat a foreign foe and prevent a foreign army from invading America" the current immigration laws were allowing "the enemy through loopholes to come right into the American household." Heflin asserted that if American troops had "fought to keep the enemy out, surely we can vote for a law that will keep out the dangerous and deadly enemies of the country"

Republican Congressman Cable of Ohio:

called for the two parties to "unite in forming an 'American bloc' and that neither yield to the foreign influence," declaring that "partisan politics have no place in this patriotic question."

He also noted that in certain cities, illegal immigrants were being favored by local policy:

eighty percent of the city's population was "foreign-stock" and that the vote displayed "the effect of the foreign born in the United States in attempting to dictate to Congress what laws should [be made].”"

Representative Box was on point when he argued this isn't discrimination, instead that:

"America has the gift of citizenship, home and opportunity to bestow as she chooses upon the worthy alien people who she many select, no Government and no group" has the right to question the exercise of America's discretion in making such a choice

He also pointed out of that many of these illegal immigrant groups are basically making the equivalent of a threat that:

"we already have admitted among us large, dangerous elements, and that we must admit more of them to keep them in a good and orderly humor."

While Republican Bill Vaile has knocked down all the hooey about how important immigrants are to America:

"it seems rather illogical to claim that those who have been for the shortest time in the process of assimilation and in the work of the Republic should have even greater or even equal consideration because of this very newness." And that it was "a fact, not merely an argument, that this country was created, kept united and developed" almost entirely by people who came here from the countries of Northern and Western Europe."

But it's Democrat Stengle of New York who might best sum up the importance of borders, language, culture:

"many of the inhabitants of these cities appear to be tied up to foreign countries by their sympathies, customs, interests, and aspirations, and apparently but little interested in the future welfare of their adopted country."

The angle that was the closest to make sense as an argument against Kingdom Come Nazi was that people might have deliberately chosen a setting with no diversity in skin colour to begin with. But even that is reaching, since we aren't exactly swimming in medieval games and it's not really an outlandish desire to simulate the era (especially since there's never been such a thing without stupid ass goblins and dragons, outside of RTS' anyway). And while there is no objective history and we can't *really* fully prove anything without a time machine, you have to be particularly limited to think that the ethnic heterogeneity of the modern US is anything but an exception in the grand scheme of things.

I don’t think it’s that reaching.

People intentionally create games to be more diverse and inclusive. I don’t think it far fetched a racist would go for an all white region.

Those sound like made-up countries.

Of course I forgot the most obvious one the only time I wanted to appear smart and educated.

There is probably cheaper genres and regions to make a racist wet dream game than Medieval Bohemia.
