OP making a thread about something that happened 15 years ago is pretty  :doge but

If you're not supposed to trun that way into a spot, then you deserved the spot as you took the correct approach and drove the long way round while the blue car was ignoring that.

You were definitely not at fault here, won't be surprised if Era gets this poll wrong though.

this is a pretty fucking self righteous post about an OP that contains this fucking nugget of information:

Quote
Multiple people left notes on my car calling me unkind, a jerk, an asshole, etc. and I came back to all these notes and just really bad that multiple people thought that way about me

Multiple neutral parties who were actually there not only saw what happened and made their own judgement, multiple people felt strongly enough about it to all indepdntly leave notes  :doge

There is no “supposed to” it’s just easier one way.
Regardless, they saw the spot first and went round. Regardless of the other driver's perspective, they are not the arsehole. The people who left notes are.

I'm pretty sure the RE mods are just absolute shit at discovering alts. Like that time they banned Labor for having an alt despite him never hiding that he was Labor and literally everyone on the forum knowing that it was just him with a new account after he requested the old one deleted. Instead Hecht popped up like he was Columbo who finally cracked the case

People used to talk about this guy years back. Saying his last alt was known and covered up until it went too far. Some Discord shit. Never followed all that. Like 90% crossover of communities exist on discords. If somebody gets banned, you’re having the same conversation in discord  ???

If this movie tries to be even remotely accurate and not make the Dahomey look like the bad guys, they have to focus on their earlier history, when their men were enslaved by other tribes in the region. So it's either black on black violence, or they'll be the shitheels and get complete obliterated by French troops protecting a small tribe against Dahomey slavers. I expect a ton of artistic license, especially since Boyega himself plays king Ghezo. Who, spoilers, wasn't exactly a nice guy.

Historian Robin Law, of the University of Stirling, who has made a study of the subject, dismisses the idea that the Fon viewed men and women as equals in any meaningful sense; women fully trained as warriors, he points out, were thought to “become” men, usually at the moment they disemboweled their first enemy.

Quote
There are also accounts of female soldiers being ordered to carry out executions. Jean Bayol, a French naval officer who visited Abomey in December 1889, watched as a teenage recruit, a girl named Nanisca “who had not yet killed anyone,” was tested. Brought before a young prisoner who sat bound in a basket, she:

walked jauntily up to , swung her sword three times with both hands, then calmly cut the last flesh that attached the head to the trunk… She then squeezed the blood off her weapon and swallowed it.

Quote
For the most part, too, the enlarged female corps enjoyed considerable success in Gezo’s endless wars, specializing in pre-dawn attacks on unsuspecting enemy villages.

The Woman King is the remarkable story of the Agojie, the all-female unit of warriors who protected the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen. Inspired by true events, The Woman King follows the emotionally epic journey of General Nanisca (Oscar®-winner Viola Davis) as she trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life. Some things are worth fighting for…

The growth of Dahomey coincided with the growth of the Atlantic slave trade, and it became known to Europeans as a major supplier of slaves.[2] As a highly militaristic kingdom constantly organised for warfare, it captured children, women, and men during wars and raids against neighboring societies, and sold them into the Atlantic slave trade in exchange for European goods such as rifles, gunpowder, fabrics, cowrie shells, tobacco, pipes, and alcohol.[5][6] Other remaining captives became slaves in Dahomey, where they worked on royal plantations and were routinely mass executed in large-scale human sacrifices during the festival celebrations known as the Annual Customs of Dahomey.

Quote
CAN WE PLEASE NOT MAKE THIS A DIALOGUE DISCUSSION. WE GET IT. THE OTHER THREAD COVERED IT.

So now, before I'm pelted and roasted, hear me out.

This of course is my own opinion in how I feel about FF in general, but I was curious if anyone shared the same view. Since the reveal of XVI, I've felt largely disinterested in the setting and tone of the game. The dour look and medieval setting immediately sees it blend in with similar games of the genre. At a glance, I would have never guessed it was the next FF without the title card appearing at the end. Even the protagonist, Clive, looks like a more generic Noctis to me. The production values and visuals look stunning for sure, but with each trailer I just can't get that emotional "charge" that I got from the first impressions with X/XII/XIII/XV. With each FF title, it looked to further blend a fantasy world with a modern take to some measure. Something always felt fresh, vibrant and inviting.

This is where Forspoken checks a lot of those boxes for me. Off the bat, her nimble traversal seems to pick up where XV left off with even more acrobatic versatility to the mix. The movement looks like a natural evolution of what we had. All of the magic combat and systems look to blend nicely with this mobility, almost like a successor to something like Infamous but with fantasy/magic bent.

The protagonist feels fresh. We're playing as a young black woman from the modern day in this heavily fantasy setting, something we've never seen before from a major AAA game/developer, let alone isekai. Immediately this lights up my interest knowing we're entering a fantasy world with this new perspective. Two trailers in and I can't even get a read on Clive? Who is he? What kind of character is he? What is his personality? While the dialogue in Forspoken is a topic of massive debate, I have a much better hook into who Frey is as a person. I can at least discern some humanity out of her and her emotional state, even if I don't agree with some of the dialogue's direction.

Even if we're in the usual fantasy setting, her perspective gives it a modern spin. Her gameplay looks like an evolution of FF gameplay from before, and the sum of it's parts feels closer to what I imagined the next Final Fantasy game would look like. Instead the real FF is looking a little generic to me (albeit amazing production values) while Forspoken feels like that fresher blend of modern and fantasy in both gameplay, look and character.

I don't know if I really articulated my argument very well at all, but it's a gut feeling I've had and I've been wondering if anyone's felt the same.

There's a whole push and pull to this debate and I don't know where I stand exactly on films generating completely inaccurate pop history myths. At the end of the day, if only by leaning in the side of freedom and safety, I'd be on your side of that argument.

There's enough Euro and US centric fictions doing this, I think Africa themed ones have a long way still to go before it's a tie.

Don't get pissed though if there's a parallel discussion about the historicity and what the fiction decided to let out of the story.

If the movie is good I don't see the issue. The problem with these movies as of late though is that unlike Gladiator they often aren't.

I mean, you probably wouldn't make a movie with Jeffrey Dahmer as the hero and protagonist fighting for gay rights.

There's nothing wrong with premise of the movie, of course. I enjoy a good female-led action flick as much as the next guy, but I'm sure they could have found a better inspiration. Or just make everything up and drop the "based on true events" angle.

I dunno, it's pretty fun when they make movies like The Wolf of Wall Street and Scarface that are meant to show: "Don't be like this" and everyone is like: "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND MARICON!!" or "Wow, I should invest in stonks"
It would not surprise me in the least if the Wolf of Wall Street is responsible for some of the crypto bro culture. Much as the first Top Gun movie was a navy pilot recruiting tool.

This is also why I don't very much believe in the cultural significance of say Black Panther. Because I haven't really seen any group adapt or reference it in such a way.
Following the movie there haven't been any 'Black Panthers' keeping their neighbourhoods safe or minorities applying for law enforcement jobs or something like that.

The secret to AITA OPs is the OP is always describing events in a way that puts them in the best possible light

The choice of music…… sooo damn bad
Epic trailer otherwise

Why is using My Power by Beyonce a bad choice for this trailer? It's a hype as hell song.
Oh wait, checking the post history...

Quote from: Dinskugga
Damn awful song in the trailer. Whats up with those trailers with shitty hiphop and rap.

The trailer itself was ok. Some nice Predator kills
Quote from: Dinskugga
Of course the trailer has shitty music.

Whats up with every damn game having a shit rap/hiphop song to it
Quote from: Dinskugga
Music is bad but 1000000 times better then all the awful rap music everyone uses
Quote from: Dinskugga
Assassin's Creed is really missing out by not making a game using Sub-Saharan Africa as a setting

Probably not a great idea for a French developer to do such a setting, unless if it examined the evils of French colonialism such as that of Dahomey featured in this film. And we know how Ubisoft is toothless with politics.

Cool fact: Dahomey means "the friend" in the original African language.

How is it any different from turning criminals into heroes?

If the movie is good I don't see the issue. The problem with these movies as of late though is that unlike Gladiator they often aren't.

I mean, you probably wouldn't make a movie with Jeffrey Dahmer as the hero and protagonist fighting for gay rights.

There's nothing wrong with premise of the movie, of course. I enjoy a good female-led action flick as much as the next guy, but I'm sure they could have found a better inspiration. Or just make everything up and drop the "based on true events" angle.
I dunno, it's pretty fun when they make movies like The Wolf of Wall Street and Scarface that are meant to show: "Don't be like this" and everyone is like: "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND MARICON!!" or "Wow, I should invest in stonks"
It would not surprise me in the least if the Wolf of Wall Street is responsible for some of the crypto bro culture. Much as the first Top Gun movie was a navy pilot recruiting tool.

This is also why I don't very much believe in the cultural significance of say Black Panther. Because I haven't really seen any group adapt or reference it in such a way.
Following the movie there haven't been any 'Black Panthers' keeping their neighbourhoods safe or minorities applying for law enforcement jobs or something like that.

Braveheart saw a bunch of dipshit americans increase funding to the IRA, which is to say boko haram fucked up not selling "killmonger was right" t shirts on etsy

Some pretty wild statements in that thread like "Men have it so much harder ( :cody ) in the dating / Tinder scene". Not to downplay some of the difficulties you can face but calm down the hyperbole.

Try living without hearing a compliment from the other gender except for a couple times in your life, cause that's the reality for most men.
Huuuuh I'm not a Don Juan at all and I got a lot more compliments than that (not bragging, just a statement of something I'd expect to be "normal"). Not to belittle loneliness but that sounds really extreme.

I dunno, isn't it something like 80% of Tinder users are dudes, and only 20% are women?
Combine that with attitudes like "asking a co-worker out is a form of sexual harrassment" -  :doge - and I feel bad for yutes today

I agree that it is a pathetic thing to mod out but at the same time I don't think censorship is the answer either. If someone wants to replace a texture in their game that doesn't affect me then go ahead?

Nexus probably just needed to make room for the massive traffic generated by the big cock futa Jill Valentine mod.

imo the Nexus guys aren't wrong to remove a mod that seemingly just exists to troll and cause controversy though they do the same thing as Restera and don't really clarify in their rules what exactly constitutes trolling. That's just bound to get people more upset when they then see mods they consider to be in bad faith and trolling but don't get moderated

I can't help but feel the better response would have been for the people who didnt like it to just release their own mod that replaces all the flags with pride flags instead :idont

Sure Tinder can be plenty alienating for hetero dudes, but "only having been complimented by a woman maybe twice in their entire lives" is wayyyyyyy stunted.

It’s inevitable that things will get silly with no way back when you make “dismissing concerns” a bannable offence.

solution:

- browse through a visual reference of all pride flags

- find one that looks bland, indistinct, and no one really knows about like a gay flag variant that's just a blue gradient

- release mod that replaces all pride flags with the one of this really important identity you associate strongly with and want to promote, honest guys, I just love this rare gay flag

- now people can play without rainbow flags everywhere

It's a 20 year old game. Its impractical to use spoiler tags for all games for all time.

Spoiler culture is the worst. If being spoiled ruins a story then it was a bad story to begin with.

I like going to games occasionally, but god the games just feel too long. Cut a couple of innings out or something.
