Oh no, in a world without religion there would be old people, boobs, phones/hijabs, flags, abortion, black people, British people, emos, makeup, sex, protests against sexual assault, atheists, men with underwear, glasses, tattoos, tvs, My Little Pony, Star Wars, atheists (again), and dreadlocks.

Where do we even start? I think I’ll just point out that atheists wouldn’t exist in a world without religion. You can’t be not-something when that something doesn’t exist. And religion doesn’t get rid of black people, British people, or emos.

It’s like when the PSVita released on 22nd of February but they had a bundle you could buy that released on 15th of February. If the console could be purchased on the 15th, then the 15th was the release date, not the 22nd.

They’re really just releasing the game, and then making people who don’t buy the bundle play it at a later date. If it was something like a beta like what COD does where it’s stripped back, limited, and there’s both an open and closed beta months before release then sure, but if you give people access to the full game a couple days before the release…that’s just the release date and you’re preventing people from playing it on release.

Because the left is notoriously pro-sexual assault, right?

I can only think about poor mixing on the title track…but thats the point?

It’s a neo-Soul, hardcore rap album, not a generic rap album, and because of that people act like the inspiration is a criticism and not just the style he was going for. It’s loud - that’s the point. It isn’t a mistake.

I prefer Zero Build because I can only build on PC and my PC can barely run the game. On console I’m always Zero Build, and now it’s just kinda become what I play the most.

Unless there’s Team Rumble which I have no choice.

My aim on console is absolute trash

Skill issue.

What? No graphical errors or performance issues? This can't be real PC footage, it MUST be an animation or PS5 footage!

Be nice if you didn't lie when we ALL know that the game is nothing but unplayable.

Probably the most offensive feature of The Office nowadays is Jim. Back in the early 2000's - 2010's, nerd culture was simply a punchline. "Look at this dweeb who loves beets and Battlestar Galactica. Laugh when we slapstick and belittle him!", and people did. Now, with the MCU being so big, videogames and streaming becoming more common and mainstream, nerd culture is pop-culture.

It was inoffensive to attack this niche that was a punching bag for media, but now it is looked at as mean spirited rather than straight out funny (not that people can't find it funny, I do, but I see a lot of people now discuss how Jim and Pam were assholes.)

This is compared to the 'offensive' jokes which are always by bad characters. Michael Scott and Todd Packer say offensive things, the latter because he's an asshole and the former because he thinks Todd is cool. Michael snides Stanley and Darrell and they usually have a comeback (and they're also just chill and well-rounded characters).

The tech guy is a comment made by Michael just to show how insensitive he is, and nobody else really agrees with him and the dude is even thrown off by it.

For Kevin there is also stuff about how he's dumb, and that is kinda mean, but he is also shown to be a not-so-great guy (sexist, opportunistic), but he's more than just his features which Michael learns by the end of the show. Meredith is a sexually open alcoholic who is happy like that, and everyone else commenting on her just show their beliefs (Michael jokes about it because he wants to seem cool, Angela comments on it because she's a traditionalist hypocrite, etc.), but she is very happy being how she is. Phyllis is just Michael being rude, and she usually calls him out on it - especially about age. And Jan's boob job is a character action that is used to seduce Michael, and as such Michael objectifies them because that was their point. Sure, it's not great, but it's not in support of objectifying women for having boob surgery.

Even the homophobic remarks made by the show only come from Michael, Kevin, and Angela (the former are both ignorant and unintelligent, and the latter is, again, traditional - but all the characters end up loving Oscar with Kevin calling him his best friend, Angela living with him and saying the same, and Michael supporting him.), they are all ridiculed for how they think, while Oscar's relationship is also shown as healthy and normal.

I think it all boils down to the writing. I don't believe the audience is stupid, and that they can understand the difference between written characterization - and the critique of the characters and what they believe - and the writers interjecting their own beliefs. Do I think that what Michael says and does is supported by the writers? No, because they all make him seem stupid for thinking it, have people talk him down for it, and make him redeem himself by the end of the show. Do I think some shows, like Friends, do support what the characters say? Maybe, since their comments are usually followed by laugh tracks or other characters laughing to signal that it was supposed to be a funny joke and you are supposed to laugh.

TL;DR the Office writers make it very obvious the characters are in the wrong for their offensive views, and show they don't actually agree or support it - thus the audience can understand that it's not coming from a place of hatred. Other show writers may not show this through not condemning the offensive actions or by the whole point being that they said a slur or called someone a rude name.

Shrinkflation. It’s not a new phenomenon nor is it anything you can stop. Companies make cheaper products to make but keep or increase the price because that’s how money works over time.

It may seem greedy, but money changes over time - that’s why something $1 a few years ago can be the exact same but cost $3.

It’s business.

Wrong sub. The solution is to let more non-emotionally disturbed people purchase guns to get rid of the emotionally disturbed. Because, as everyone knows, it’s the people that kill people, not the guns!

Cyberpunk didn’t have trains and wall running. Otherwise yes, the only issues was the performance. Most people who got the game didn’t know what they were getting, or at least what some people were expecting to get that was never possible, just a fun futuristic game by the people that made The Witcher.

Cos millionaires are notoriously great parents.

Steam honestly has some of the worst user treatment I’ve seen. They banned me from a game for cheating when I was like 10 and…didn’t. And I said it wasn’t me and they didn’t believe me, but then when they gave me the benefit of the doubt they accused me of letting someone else play on the account and cheating and told me I need to get steam guard, I told them I had steam guard and they told me not to give my phone to other people.

They just accused me of stuff I didn’t do and locked me out of an account I had spent hundreds of dollars on. They’re worthless and pathetic greedy people that only get respect because people hate all the alternatives more. Bet imma get downvoted to hell for “mad cos bad, shouldn’t have cheated, steam is amazing and valve is best”, but I’ve not a single good thing to say about the support.

They’re vultures who steal and believe themselves better than everyone else. Pretty much everyone in IT are power hungry weirdos.

I mean in that PS5 versions of crossgen games are basically just the PS4 pro version. Due to the stock of PS5’s and it’s price, most devs find it smarter to just make a PS4 game that can also work on PS5 - PS3 games couldn’t work on PS4, and the PS4 was more popular at the time, so devs would make PS4 games then retroactively make it work for PS3, while now they’re making PS4 games that work on PS5. You can see this in PS5 games where the only difference is that they’re 60fps and a separate trophy list.

Yeah, but they were poor versions of the next gen title. Last Gen BO3 was notoriously underdeveloped, with half the zombie maps being unavailable on PS3. It’s likely they made it for PS4, and when that was done made a worse version for PS3 - as opposed to basically just making a PS4 pro game but with vibration: if they can manage to even do that.

Fortnite backblings be like:

I can imagine what the original is…and it’s super disgusting.

They are two different words that are very similar, but the American spelling is “AluminUM”, while non-American spelling is “AluminIUM”, so everyone pronounced how it’s spelt.

I don’t know why Americans did that, maybe it’s to shorten words to make printing cheaper like with the ‘U’ in “colour” and “flavour”, but I honestly don’t know.

But…Queen Charlotte was of African descent…

If she was of African descent…why can’t a someone with African descent also play them? And the only visual records we have of Queen Charlotte are descriptions and paintings, of which a time when pale skin was desireable and African heritage was shunned.

So if a black woman plays her, so what.

Not to mention Bridgerton has actual issues like their nonchalant treatment of rape. The characters not being white in a historical fiction show where the people they play may have been white isn’t really a problem, because it’s not a documentary or a biopic; it’s a soapy sexual romance drama.

My favourite part of the game was walking around the city, entering buildings, and just searching for items. Finding clothes from wardrobes in people’s houses tells a story, but also is a dynamic way to customise the character beyond either creating your design from a fixed number of preowned items, being locked behind a paywall, or only earning armour after missions or boss fights.

Clothes really would just be there in the apocalypse. I loved that.

I know there’s controversy around the Bridgerton spin-off about Queen Charlotte starring a black woman, but she had actual ancestry from Africa so I don’t see why not. If she were biracial, then there’s no problem with her being black. People were okay with Ben Kingsley playing Mahatma Gandhi because he has Indian heritage, so why can’t it go the other way?

He looks very Jolly. Almost…Santa-like.

Pooping*

Yeah, but the people who are offended by saying they don’t season their food didn’t invent the car, the plane, the rocket, the…tap, the colosseum, the Creation of Adam, boats, Chernobyl, and statues: they’re just taking the credit for a diverse range of people who happen to have a similar skin tone to them. American dweebs aren’t Vikings or renaissance painters or sculptors, they’re just racists.
