I've considered this quote more than once this year..
TACO strikes again haha!
There've been over 300 mass shootings just this year in America so why does one guy have so much news coverage? He's no politician he's just some guy, some guy that said his and every childs death is worth it as long as people get to carry firearms so why so much reverence? He's nothing special.
Never disrespect dear leader, never disrespect followers of dear leader, report any transgressions to local authorities be they acquaintance, neighbour, friend or family or face consequences. Heil trump, heil trump, heil trump!
Imagine if France vowed to respond to the US if it convicted a US citizen, this is no different, the US needs to be put in its place.
I have no time for people that pity assholes anymore, it just feels so damn fake "this guy that wanted to genocide the LGBT community is dead, such sad news, this shouldn't have happened, hope his family is ok" meanwhile his family will treat you even worse now and everyone like you too.
If you aren't white and republican he would be celebrating your death so why are your thoughts with him? Genuinely, he was not a nice person so why do you pity him? Obviously violence is unacceptable etc. but your thoughts are with him?? Fuuuck you.
I can't beat Castlevania, the devs aren't now obligated to make it easier for me or have an easier version. It would be *nice* yes but they aren't obligated to, no-one is owed having their hand held and I guarantee you everyone complaining only spent an hour or two *at most* on a difficult boss.
What's fedposting?
I'm thinking.. A form of dominos? 2 players, each gets a random assortment of tiles with a randomised configuration of pawns and rooks etc., placing them one after the other on the board, 2 pawns beats a knight, pawn and rook beats a queen? hmmm...
Bullies do tend to cry the most when they are hurt. I'm actually wondering if he was assasinated by the trump administration in an attempt to rile up republicans and deflect some of the attention over what he has done as well as excuse even more orders.
I am unable to beat Castlevania, is that a case of me needing to practice more or is that a flaw of the game? And is *my* lack of enjoyment of its difficulty more important than the enjoyment other people have with the difficulty who would otherwise find it trivial and boring? Other games exist.
It took me approximately 6 hours to beat a boss that was apparently nerfed for new players in Silksong (I could name it but I'll refrain from spoiling). Now does that mean the boss is objectively too difficult? I beat it didn't i? But how long to beat a boss is acceptable to you? Cause i enjoyed it.
Regarding games yes, everyone can. Just because a person isn't able to defeat a boss after a few tries doesn't mean it's too difficult, that's like saying playing the violin is too difficult because you aren't able to play a symphony after a couple lessons, no, you just need practice.
Agreed, it should be a leisurely stroll to the boss each time, at least 5 minutes, 10 if it's uphill.
Bo Burnham's song Welcome to the Internet comes to mind.
Genuinely though, that's why people eat them. We all know processed meat is bad for us, we know a lot of foods have way too much sugar and salt and fats but everyone is addicted to rich flavour.
They sure are tasty though
Correct. They aren't hard, they simply have a learning curve that's somewhat steep. I can beat the first 4 bosses in Elden Ring, Dark Souls and Sekiro first try and yet I work and only have maybe 2 days to play games, why is this? Because practice makes perfect. People forgot that saying it seems.
Hey Vsauce! Bean here.
There being no evidence of a crime does tend to hold a lot of weight when it comes to killing someone over one, that being said even if they were dealing drugs it isn't a capital offence regardless, you go to prison for selling drugs not the death penalty. Or does the US not need proof to kill now?
My friends are visiting the US soon, sure do hope the TSA don't kill them because they look like they might be carrying drugs but you can't know for sure anymore after this, it seems Trump really did want to commit murder when he said "I could shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters".
So now I guess everyone coming into the US just has to really hope the government doesn't decide on a whim they look like they might have drugs and get murdered without any evidence.
Projection. They get unreasonably upset when people don't believe what they believe or shun what they shun so they assume everyone else is just as unreasonable. I wonder if they realise not eating pork is a Christian thing too?
People complain *constantly* that remakes and adaptations aren't a 1:1 of the source material so I can't take any complaints about it seriously.
Dragons Dogma! I love the vibe of that games music so very much, especially the character creation theme and BitterBlack Isle's theme.
The problem with that is the people currently running the fed are on the Epstein list and I don't trust p.d.f files to have the best interests of children in mind while holding onto all of that personal data
I really want to see a Red vs Blue Blood Gulch chronicles style show using Helldivers 2
Hunter used Boomerang! It's super-effective!
You're saying they could have avoided so much if they just said something, I'm simply asking what exactly have they avoided if everyone is going to buy the game anyway and future games too. People are annoyed now, they'll forget, maybe they won't, what consequences will Team Cherry face though?
Which is why less people will buy the game right? Silksong? And people definitely won't trust their future games too huh? How dare they, not buying TC games ever again cause they *Checks notes*: didn't tell you they were still developing the game
That's because by not telling anyone it got a lot more attention, everyone has been mentioning Silksong each year precisely because nothing was said and thus a myth was born, a legend. And really, what did they avoid anyway? Oh some people are grumbling, their reputation is still untarnished though
A cigarette and a can of beer are unhealthy but harm noone around them if not used in excess is my point.
I can see it in two ways, adults being treated like children, no alcohol allowed unless you hide away like a child given a curfew, be home by 9pm! except it's a 36 yr old father of two. Or This harmless beverage is banned! Obey! Drink only what we permit! Drink only in designated areas! I shudder
Right.. So like I was saying, weird. Look the way I see it is alcohol is as common as coffee, you can smoke cigs wherever you want, join the army, drive whatever vehicle you like, work with heavy machinery, just.. general adulting haha But it's illegal to have a beer/cider on a hot day in the park
That alone tells me the US is a backwards authoritarian joke, drinking in public is illegal? Insanity.
She said people shouldn't have the presumption of innocence, that in itself makes her a nasty, unlikable person worthy of criticism regardless of who she does or doesn't support.
No doubt though my words were hollow from the beginning.. The true message lies in the images
The first game was so beautiful, I've no doubt this one will also live up to the hype
"Obey. Comply. Conform. Then maybe we'll allow you some human rights eventually, as a treat, if we decide at some point we want people to pat us on the back for defending freedom and democracy."
Very nice, you really can't go wrong with Zelda music, fans have said it's the greatest game, I say it's got the greatest music. I really like this version myself, It's more.. cinematic? What you'd hear if the game was a feature length film. youtu.be/nZQJOvKCps8?...
Less is more as they say. I'm really looking forward to playing Hades 2, the first game is amazing and I am absolutely in love with the art but I'm waiting for it to come out of early access first so I can enjoy the whole thing all at once. It's painful wait.
While he makes a valid point regarding an administrations successes what he fails to understand is that they do not justify their failures. -cutting various healthcare research -denying due process -deploying the military on protesters -denying disaster relief -disobeying court orders constantly
1,000 bottles of oil on the wall..
It's good to see you still posting helpful videos, you're a treasure.
That got me tearing up, I'm happy they got to have that connection with you before they passed.
The facts didn't care about his feelings so now he wants to close his eyes and ears like a child. If he doesn't see them they don't exist.. right?
A man raped a woman, every man is a rapist. A woman kidnapped a baby, every woman is a kidnapper. A queer person murdered a man, every queer person is a murderer. A trans person hurt a queer person, every trans person is violent. A white person broke the law, every white person is a criminal.
"It's like this other game but smaller" isn't really selling it to me.
And my own gripes with the game I attribute to the top brass wanting to accommodate everyone at the expense of gameplay 1: Rail-roading the player throughout the game. 2: *Everything* overly streamlined removing any need to discover, hunt, explore, harvest, farm, travel or re-visit locations.
1: Co-op is confusing and complicated to set up. 2: having to watch cutscenes solo before being able to join friends in co-op. 3: Poor optimization for PC players to this day.
Genuinely curious if the success of MH: World is the reason Wilds is lacking in aspects, if the top execs at Sony/Capcom smelled money and got their grubby hands into development of Wilds because I'm truly astonished the are issues with certain things given the amount of time between the two titles.
If the system is held up by the ultra-rich, the tax base you talk of, then the system *needs* to be destroyed for the good of everyone. That being said it's unlikely they'll leave regardless, they live in NYC for a reason and i doubt they'll leave because they may lose a little loose change.
Not at all, please do obliterate my notifications with an infodump if you like, what does she write about?
As a fellow Pratchett fan what books* would you recommend? *Singular or series
All I hear from Faber is "prostrate yourselves before the rich, their money is all that matters, not the working Americans that actually put in their fair share" and I suspect the lack of affordability is the fault of the rich too, after all they are still around in NYC as is the affordability issue
I'm conflicted. "It's just a book, you can always buy others, it's not the end of the world, your perception of the books will be marred with horrific knowledge from now on anyway" vs "It's just a book, you can still enjoy the art, just don't buy anything else from the author" It's just a book..
Also, y'know, this isn't twitter so getting to argue with people again was refreshing, couldn't help but indulge in old pleasures.
Oh come on that's not fair you absolutely grabbed low hanging ragebait fruit haha! Person thinks others making a big deal out of something small, called a purist in response? Classic. I did mean it though, if you're gonna actually make that response then I'm gonna think you're a grimy neckbeard.
3: You only prove yourselves to *be* that kind of person when you reply like this, proving my point, you guys are way too focused on a female characters chest area and therefore probably don't even want them as the main character, just something to look at. Perverts, what else can I say.
1: or what, virgin? 2: I get it, altering games you like is irksome, if a character had dialogue cut to conform to bias I'd be frustrated too, however I can't quite muster the kind of fervour you people have for these alterations when they're merely 5% added clothing. Makes you look a certain way.
I'm starting to think these people believe because they can't see as much of a female characters back or cleavage any more it's why all nsfw content is getting banned. Some huge conspiracy i guess. "First they came for the cleavage and i said nothing, for i was not a basement dwelling pervert."
Coming from folks that are crying online about censorship because an animated bat isn't showing as much boob.
Destruction vs limiting. Adjusting nsfw aspects *in their own game*? Perfectly fine. Delisting *other peoples work* because you don't want anything remotely nsfw, even stuff that isn't obviously nsfw like games with lgbt+ themes? Abhorrent. Rouge having less cleavage isn't the same thing my guy.
I'm just giggling at the fact my words bothered you so much you felt the urge to reply months later. Funny.
That doesn't answer my question, it's also not just.. rouge the bat you're talking about right? Don't tell me your issue is *that* getting less cleavage? Cause that's just sad. Genuinely. You must not get out much. As for politics, i vote policy over party. Fair pay, affordable healthcare etc.
I'll bet you anything these people wouldn't say a single thing about censorship and the like if every female character had their dialogue cut instead if it meant showing more skin. Perverts, the lot of them.
Tell me you're a virgin without telling me you're a virgin.
Why should it have been? The only difference was less cleavage, what does a woman showing more skin add to the story and gameplay?
Got a McDonald's breakfast meal today, just a muffin, tea and hash brown. £5+, Fucking disgusting, they're charging 5 star restaurant prices for a quick morning pick-me-up.
Didn't gawker spread his private sex tapes though? Unless I'm mistaken and please do correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was pretty reasonable to destroy them for that, even if the guy they attacked in that way was a racist bigotted asshole
It's my friends birthday in October. You just gave me the *perfect* gift for him. Genuinely there is nothing better I could possibly gift him.
Gotcha, thank you.
Who was the other?
Really just had to be "that guy" at this moment huh
I was thinking of Ozzy the other day, an icon, a legend but I don't listen to his type of music so it was quite random that I considered him at all, I then put on Crazy Train, I wanted to try and broaden my taste a little. It wasn't to be unfortunately. Now this, quite a coincidence.
I'm reminded of Carrot and Angua's romance, a fantastic read. Ngl it also definitely had me sitting upright at the ordinarily mundane, trivial sentence "After a while the bedsprings went glink." "Woah woah hold on terry let me catch my breath, cor blimey" hahaha
@blackscreenrecords.com A new arrival! Been a fan of Alex Roe for years so getting another vinyl of his work fills me with joy. This'll go nicely with my second playthrough of Elden Ring, dubbed the sightseeing playthrough haha. Won't lie, I'm absolutely in love with the glitter effect on the disc.
So essentially 100x more expensive for poor and working class people, 100x less expensive for the rich but they'll dismiss it as a massive coincidence, claiming it's merely the a.i personalising the pricing, hiding of course that they manipulated the a.i into giving those "personalised" prices.
I take the trilogy as one full film, individually the first can stand on its own I suppose but for me the films are like a book, each of them a single chapter, best enjoyed one after the other. 2 wouldn't be that good on its own I guess but looks much better if I think of it as Chapter 2 of 3.
I'm dumb as rocks, so you're saying this is normal and everyone has these terms but if they don't put it in they'll get sued because I assume that how they operate they technically do these things? Like a catch 22? This thread is going through one eye and out the other if that makes sense haha
There are so many vinyl that look gorgeous I can't rightly decide which look better so here's a bunch that I absolutely love
@rincewind.run more than ever these two Pratchett quotes come to mind. "There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do." -Small Gods
@daryltalksgames.bsky.social Genuinely, the biggest temptation by far for me to ignore being fiscally responsible and waiting for a sale on Expedition 33 is not being able to watch your new video haha Love your work man.
So to clarify, the US will put punishing tariffs on a country if the current president decides that they don't like the outcome of a specific court case in said country regardless of their standing with the US or what they do for the US? Sounds like the actions of a king to me. Or a dictator.
Oh wow, so it isn't just another "super human beating bad guys to death"? I do like superhero films but they mostly boil down to "powerful guy beats up other powerful guy" and I'm not really interested in that anymore.
Oh and apparently now he wants to bring back slavery and plantations.
Not lowering the price of eggs, groceries. Not getting 90 deals in 90 days. Adding 3+ trillion to the deficit.
Giving ICE, an entity merely in charge of deporting people, more funding many times over than other branches of government that deal with security like the FBI and CIA. Accepting gifts from leaders of other nations in exchange for certain trade deals, which could easily be interpreted as bribes. 5/
Allowing ICE to enter anyones home on a whim without a warrant while at the same time not giving anyone due process therefore not giving anyone a chance to prove they are actually legal and also wanting to ship these *possibly legal citizens* to random countries. 4/
Retracting funding to university's that don't teach what Trump wants. Using the military to attack peaceful protesters in LA. 3/
Tariffs on US allies that raise prices for US consumers. Cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits that many of the poor need to survive while giving huge tax cuts to the wealthiest people that don't need it. Not giving disaster relief to certain states in need of it unless they bend the knee. 2/
There is so much that I thought I'd list some of the stuff he's done that ought to be remembered next presidential election, stuff that I think Trump has tried to distract everyone from. 1/
What gets me isn't even that everyone else that height doesn't have an issue, it's that the very height he blames *is a whole 2" taller than the average*. He's taller than most people. I wonder if he listens to alpha male podcasts.
"Blood libel is ok as long as the one doing it also hurts people I don't like" is one hell of an opinion.
@lucyndisguise.bsky.social Your music really does go perfectly on evenings like this. Loving your Cassette remix.
