The overreacting nature of this forum is reaching grating levels.

"reaching"

Nancy Pelosi went and got her hair done in a salon with no mask too!

she also backed Joe Kennedy, causing him to lose his election

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Some of you make it so obvious you see Gingsburg as a living lump of meat that can be discarded but only after january.

I've always disliked the idea that she should step aside. Especially after she gave her word when sworn in, she would serve until she couldn't serve any more. She's not a coward like kennedy.

The ickiest stuff is the crap they do with Stewie

Do you know he, a 1-year-old boy, once got mpreg with Brian's puppies?

 

Does he... does he know Stewie isn't real?

I mean, I'm voting for Biden, too. I don't particularly like him, but he's better than Trump. I'm also not blind. The man lost a step since his time as Obama's VP. It's plainly obvious to see. It may not mean he has dementia, but it at least speaks to his mental decline, which is entirely natural for man that's 77 years old. As far as PoliERA is concerned, even acknowledging all this means I'm a either a Russian bot or I'm being dishonest and must be banned for the sake of US democracy.

And then Trump speaks and “uh... he is way worse”.

Mini Strokes are a bonus.

I am glad and it fits in with the franchise. Now for people who either never watched the franchise or totally misunderstood it to make a bunch of bullshit YouTube videos.

A cynic would say they're leaning into this specifically to torpedo criticism a la ghostbusters 2016 or TLJ, given the first 2 seasons were shit and they're about to expose non-subscribers to season 1 (who are likely to point out that its shit).

Didn't Riker bang some NB alien?

yeah, you also had a major character that was a genderless symbiote who it was shown routinely switched up gendered hosts which is about as non-binary as it is possible to conceive, but FUCK YEAH SCIENCE BITCHES

[VomKriege]

Didn't Riker bang some NB alien?

Yes.
Enterprise also has a three gender species where the "cogenitors" which veers on non-binary are not even considered as full people.

Edit : Trills are sorta there too in a sense.

Eh, they were already doing that with season 1 and 2. It is always short lived.

Although Adira is the first non-binary actor to play a non-binary character, Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced a non-binary character and species in the episode “The Outcast.” That character was limited to one episode however, and was played by a cisgender actress Melinda Culea.

THE MOD ADMIRAL'S DURATION PENDING WATCH FOR AUGUST 28, 2020

KILROGG: DURATION STILL PENDING (24 DAYS)
KETKAT: NOW PERMANENT (21 DAYS)
THRONAZUG: DURATION STILL PENDING (21 DAYS)

At the very least, make her ban temporary with a clear duration (not a "pending" that might just quietly turn into a perm; "pending durations" are just dumb and often feel like a way to quietly sweep permabans under the rug btw).

As mod captain, you should be ashamed of banning the poster who reported me, that is the height of insensitivity.

So you don't #trusttheprogress huh? Another six weeks of duration pending!

The PS5 exclusives can only be found on that console and their fundamental design will be powered by the system's world-class SSD I/O years before other platforms, Sony's 'generations matters' also applies to the controller with its Adaptive triggers etc. which is a great baseline and something new/unique.

PS5 and XSX are roughly equivalent to the 5700 or 5700XT in terms of performance, GPUs released more than a year ago. AMD itself has bigger and more powerful cards scheduled for release later this year.

The first documented Chinese-language production of a foreign play was in 1907 of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the actors in midnight black face paint and curly wigs. Later, Chinese theaters would add chin or nose prosthetics to actors playing foreigners.

Unlike minstrelsy or blackface in the United States, this make up was done as a sign of empathy and realism.

"The aesthetic practice itself is slightly different because the goal for this realistic makeup in China is to as closely simulate verisimilitude and as an authentic kind of representation of a foreigner as possible, even though this is not possible," says Claire Conceison, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an expert on contemporary Chinese theater.

 

In 1983, Ying's father, actor and director Ying Ruocheng, helped playwright Arthur Miller to stage his play Death of a Salesman in Beijing. To play the Loman family from Brooklyn in that play, the Chinese actors planned to don blonde wigs and powder on make-up to adjust their complexion.

Miller was horrified. He felt the "realistic stage make-up" favored by Chinese theaters was an ungainly visual shortcut that could alienate audiences. But the Chinese cast — accustomed to using stage make-up to get into character — was at first bewildered when Miller scrapped the wigs.

"Was Miller liberating them from a practice that was outdated and problematic or was he kind of embodying a kind of American neo-imperialism that was grafting our political views and practices?" wonders Conceison.

 

In the end, Ying settled on lightly bronzing the actors' faces and added wigs full of curls and cornrows. The look is more impressionistic than realistic: it signals the characters' Blackness while simultaneously acknowledging the theatrical artifice. The one white character gets a snow white wig.

What's with all of the LG shilling on the thread?

LG's motto is Life's Good, but it clearly isn't! 

[CHOW CHOW]

I’m convinced one of the biggest reasons Resetera was created was to appease insane, autistic Nintendo fans who were getting kinda rekt on NeoGAF. The Nintendo Direct Speculation topic has like 15 OTs and each is 20,000 posts.  The Smash Bros DLC speculation thread is around the same. They’re always on the front page, 24/7.

These people are mentally ill.  There’s a huge correlation with hardcore Nintendo fans and the transgender / furry community as well. It all kinda makes sense to me now.

Resetera is still the best vidya news aggregate on the Internet simply due to the traffic so I still visit. But it’s basically become this:



Those are the first 7 topics on the front page right now — incel Nintendo fans having conniptions about ports of old Mario games. There’s a couple more I couldn’t fit on on the screenshot.

I feel like literally every game I’ve liked in the past 5 years is “extremely terrible and a crime against humanity” in this guy’s eyes. I’m not into these types of games, really, but it’s pretty obvious that he’s going to absolutely hate most things because it gets him more clicks.

Well that’s his thing. I just think he miscalculated and assumes the game was gonna be bad so can’t turn back now

[SmokyDave]

I like the new ‘only available until the end of the financial year’ thing Nintendo have going. Seems like fun.

[VomKriege]

For dem clicks, that’s a big yikes from me. I think Sterling knows exactly what he is doing, and I don’t believe the quixotian narrative one bit.

Has anyone looked into a possible Russian connection to the Jimquisition ?

[VomKriege]

Right, but it's not just a 60$ game. It's a 60$ game that will be providing FREE updates, characters and missions that you don't have to pay for. And the additional monetization is for cosmetics and you can earn enough currency to just BUY the premium battle passes by completing the battle passes included in the base game.

People seem to just be looking at this (and so many other games) as one and done things where the devs then decide to charge you for stuff while they lean back in their chairs and jack off. The devs are still supporting the game, creating content that will be free but apparently they don't deserve to have optional ways for players to support them.

Thank you Marvel-Disney sama, totally different from those bad, predatory GaaS.

[Boredfrom]

Nintendo know their fans too well. They're gonna cry and throw their tendies at their miibos, but buy everything they put out anyways.

Nintendo fans usually defend Nintendo most awful practices, though.

If anything, the reason why Nintendo can do this shit is because their fans usually say “is whimsical to buy Amiibos”.
