Go to any general thread on /vg/ (actually, maybe don't), waifu wars everywhere. Not joking. If there's a female character with any amount of dialogue, she's someone waifu and they will tell you about it.
I cringe at any "____ IS BEST GIRL" crap that has spread to every damn place on the internet

TBH, life is too short to worry about what's embarrassing.

We all like embarrassing shit.

Some of us watch Love and Hip Hop. Others have read all of the Harry Potter books as adults. Some of us have Crunchyroll subscriptions.  Some of us like Twin Peaks or maybe even watching pro golf! Some of us post on internet forums!

No point is arguing what's more embarrassing than the other. There's plenty of non-waifu Japanese games, just like there's plenty of waifu western games available. Saying that in order to avoid Japanese game cheesecake all you have to do is play western games makes you look fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.

Thanks for the synopsis of this season of South Park.

Still a suicidal move to not launch beside Nvidia Pascal and AMD Arctic Islands GPU's. You can move more people on the upgrade train with new tech if you give them a reason. Saying "Use Nvidia and AMD's current cards" is the worst possible timing when the enthusiasts know they are better holding off and seeing what the new cards bring along with what DX12/Vulkan can actually bring no matter how much Palmer tries to hold expectations on twitter. Both decided to rush to market to try beat Sony who have their own problems trying to convince their audience that were told "PS4 is a beast. Resolution matters" to now accept "Actually it's a declawed kitten when running VR. You won't get that fancy GTA V VR mod. Resolution doesn't matter. That's $400 for the VR please". Sony stans on gaf are going to have a conundrum trying to spin that one never mind the PC stans trying to justify that hardware cost.

GAF's gonna get crazy the next week when the reality sets in for all the VR camps.

You're gonna be putting $1000 down for a new GPU? Really?. I mean a certain niche may do that. But the vast majority of people that they're trying to target with this "entry level VR" system isn't going to spend $1000 for the VR hardware + $500-1000 extra for a new GPU and possibly a CPU upgrade if it needs more than an i5.

Only idiots will expect it to be a hit within the next 5 years or so anyway. In 10 years time, and they're still not consumer price friendly and have hardware on consoles that supports it well, maybe I will start doubting VR. But man, after having tried just a few demo's with VR, I am sold. Finally something that makes gaming exciting for me again.

Every time I've had some hands-on experience with VR, it just makes me feel the tech still has ways to go. Pixels are too obvious giving it the "screen door" effect and (this could just be because the computers the software was run on didn't have the horsepower necessary to run effectively) there was way too much blanking out and stuttering as the refresh rate struggled to keep up with head movement. Things have certainly gotten better since the 90's, but still not good enough.

Rez Infinite sounds fucking incredible though. Area 5 in VR  :rejoice

This has been bugging me for a while now.

In today's medicine we can plant a new face to someone!!! Something that we only saw in movies can be done today!!!

High blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and many things that today's medicine say that are not cureable and can only be maintained can be compeletly cured by going the natural way, why do doctors claim natural doctors are frauds when they present a cure for something they can't cure themselves?

Yes there are frauds in alternative medicine but is there anything that doesn't have people exploiting for their own gains?

Why can't they both work together? Why must we follow only one road?

Yea I agree, I'm sorry to group cancer into one thing that can be cured by a herb.

Some caners are not a sickness you catch, it's a sign of your system having "enough".

It would take a lot of posts to explain but here are a few points:
1- Cancer lives in an acidic body, I'll get into that more later.

2- you need to cut sugar completely from your diet to slow cancer growth, yes your whole body run with gloucose, but cutting sugar completley can starve cancer cells and slow it down.

3- baking soda enema for colon cancer: ( bare in mind you can only do this after you starved your cancer, and cleaned your body from all the toxics you had)

Cancer can't live in an alkine body so it makes sense and studies have shown cancer cells and tomur can be stopped when sorrounded in an alkine enviorment.


I skipped tons of things but this is just a breifing of what natural medicine can do.

Yes I agree that more studies should be done but if we frown at every natural remdey because there are greedy people exploting it how can it get more recognetion.

And again I'm sorry for geouping caner into one catagory, that was immature of me and I apologize.

I've never really understood why translating something is costly? I mean I don't speak two languages but I feel like if I did it's literally just taking a sentence and rewriting it. How hard is that? I could translate a book in like a day. How many books is the text of this game equivalent to?

The OP of that thread's obviously an ass.  But I will say that I didn't realize just how complex localization was until I started listening to the 8-4 Play podcast.  The 8-4 crew has provided a ton of insight and so have several of their guests.  Some of whom have been involved in translation and localization since the 80s.  It's crazy how difficult it is to translate something like an RPG without butchering it.  I mean I knew it was difficult, but god damn.

It was especially so in the cartridge days when you had extremely limited space to put the translated words into. When the Japanese version of the game could get away with one character in the same spot or whatever.

The Youngblood works in mysterious ways.

We have not the capacity to understand the scope of his plans.

It's ridiculous to reduce the posts in this thread explaining cultural appropriation to "comfort activism". That's whataboutism at its finest and serves only to discredit others without actually refuting their points. You claim that these so-called "comfort activists" don't inform themselves about these important subjects and present themselves as morally superior to others. However, it is clear that the ignorant ones are the people who make no effort in learning about why cultural appropriation is not okay. No one is saying that this makes them inherently bad people. Pointing out that dressing up as a stereotypical caricature of a race is no denunciation, no one is saying that people such as Chris Hemsworth are racists, but the act itself definitely is, just as blackface or yellowface are extremely offensive. Yes, it is racist to dress up as another race, another culture, one that has had to endure centuries of oppression and discrimination by white people. You say that these are just silly costumes, but that's exactly the reason why they are offensive. They reduce an entire people down to nothing more than a piece of clothing. When faced with explanations by actual Native Americans, giving their reasons why these caricatures are offensive, you can't just shrug and wave them away by saying that they don't have evidence that these people are intending to harm them or are showing any less respect towards them. The very nature of wearing such a costume shows a lack of respect towards their culture, reinforcing a status quo that greatly benefits white people over everyone else. Now, that doesn't mean that I speak for Native Americans, I could never do so, nor am I an expert on cultural appropriation. This is just my point of view based on what I've read about cultural appropriation, which seems to be in line with what many Native Americans think, given the posts by Native Americans in this thread and elsewhere on the Internet.
I think I got a bingo on my card.
