Steve Irwin got up close and personal with wildlife (at the risk of his own safety) to show us, the sheltered masses, the beauty, majesty, and amazing things to be found in nature. You, PETA, are just a bunch of sharks who feed on controversy while doing nothing useful.

was killed while harassing a ray; he dangled his baby while feeding a crocodile & wrestled wild animals who were minding their own business. Today’s

sends a dangerous, fawning message. Wild animals are entitled to be left alone in their natural habitats.

First degree isn't just "bigger murder," it's premeditated. Planned in advance. We have, at best, evidence that Chauvin and Floyd crossed paths in the past, but nothing suggesting they had any interaction that would constitute clear motive. Second Degree is "with intent."

@dxnidarko
No kidding. I've had that exact conversation about so many topics--deflecting from discussing the arguments by turning it into "why are you mad, bro" even though no significant emotion has even had a chance to get simmering yet.

First of all: cancelling debts isn't "throwing money away," it's enabling a large chunk of the population to actively participate in the economy in a quicker and more certain way, which generates both an economic return and a return via taxes.
Second of all...
It was also a badly-told story about love, loss, grief, and overcoming trauma/mental health.
There's more to storytelling than just being "about" something. I don't think people failed to understand what Other M was going for; it's more that the way it went for it was flawed.
Metroid: Other M is a story about love, loss, grief, & overcoming trauma/mental health.
Failing to understand any of these avenues within a character because it wasn't how you had imagined them in your own head is quite honestly the biggest injustice to the game & Samus herself.
Heyyyyyy, Twitter, can we please stop pretending that a game is automatically shit if it runs at 30fps?
I mean, I enjoy smooth 60fps as much as the next guy, but it's purely visual at this point. Even 30fps-visuals games these days mostly register inputs at 60fps.
@JohnDeVore
Sounds to me like it's only "unlimited" so they can control how much of it you actually get and under what circumstances, and so that they don't have to pay you for a pre-established balance of unused time off when you quit.
@Caddicarus
Makes me shake my head every time I see shit like this. People kneejerk at anything related to "social justice warriors" on sight, without even evaluating the very important question of "Is it done well?" which is what should ACTUALLY decide if it's "pandering" or not, mmmmmmkay.
Remember the character that half the Internet made fun of for being a Sonic recolor without realizing that he was literally an evil version of Sonic from another dimension who turned green and renamed himself, as an obvious good-humored dunk on fan OCs?

...your logic would be loads more believable if it hadn't been preceded by a whole lot of Trump trying to convince us all that there is nothing to worry about, we promise, while insisting on not taking any immediate action that might spook the stock markets into decline.

If he'd acted decisively BEFORE the Dow Jones ironically tanked in a way that he previously claimed a President should be immediately impeached for ("no excuses"), instead of delaying until after the virus made him look bad, I'd be open to considering these sorts of angles.
@X1Ashe
I've looked into it and selling this as non-binary representation is a bit of a farce, since he's literally an alien and his entire species is "non-binary" in that sense. But I wasn't expecting terribly much in that area from Power Rangers of all things, so.
@mathewkumar
The game's still available on GOG, which is where you should probably buy it anyway if you want it on PC. This seems to be a Steam-exclusive de-listing, which makes me wonder if they had some issue supporting the game on that platform in particular.
@ActivateAmyMode
Dunno where this guy gets the idea that all guys hate this thing that many men will gleefully emphasize in their cheesecake pinup art, but I'm going to cordially register skepticism of the claim.

@Somecallmejon
If it was "glorified DLC," it somehow managed to be DLC that outdid the core game in both quantity of levels and quality of levels, soooooo...
@CocoaFox023
I imagine a hyper-exaggerated show robot would "transmit more femininity and sensuality" than an actual realistic-looking female human, even if the aforementioned human was a voluptuous porn star. That kinda comes with the territory when you're a hyper-exaggerated show robot. 🤨
They took the Uncle Dante moniker to its logical extreme and made Dante that unshaven uncle we all have who grows his hair long and still listens to rock music that's two decades old.
Welcome back, old friend.
fun fact, they're also archaic and really hard to get into
Seriously, I hate to rain on everyone's parade and all, but whenever someone gets bitter about the old-school Personas not being as popular as new-school, I just want to ask how they endure the thermonuclear jank.
@kathleenelee
My rational brain: "It's not cool to judge people based on what they wear."
My other rational brain: "This seems like a poor choice given the circumstances..."
My inner shitposter: "Pffffwahahaha, she thought that would fly. Isn't that cute... but it's wrong."
I'm going to hazard a guess of sorts...
...that when genuinely bad visual bugs started happening for some players on the Switch version of Colors Ultimate, some people, wanting to just get a ton of likes and comments from the trend, used an emulator to manufacture their own.
I wish YouTubers would quit being so melodramatic about the Star Wars sequel trilogy. If Sonic the Hedgehog can survive '06 and Boom, and if Crash Bandicoot can survive Titans and Mind Over Mutant, then Star Wars can fucking survive Rise of Skywalker, okay.

I've been sitting her reading your posts as you get hyper-defensive over Linkin Park music and most of it has been "yeah, that's fair" even though I've never more than casually enjoyed the stuff.
But trying to deny the angst angle is a bit silly if you know the lyrics.
Random Idiot: "Who the fuck is Terry Bogart? He doesn't belong in Smash, give us Shant--?!"
Oh, shut up. You still only know who Marth and Roy are because you met them first in Smash. You definitely didn't know who Lucas was. You don't know everything about games; deal with it.
Satisfaction is subjective, of course. I don't care for the feel of the parkour system, so what you can pull off when you're good at it doesn't really interest me.
An exclusive sneak peak into the riveting days-long process of editing a Johnny VS. video. John only gave me a script and a bit of loose direction here and there; so if for some reason one of the visual bits doesn't land for you, that's on me.
Sonic 4 as I imagined it? Um...alright then. If you say so. I think you're lying, but I'll look at it anyway. Let's look back on Sonic 4; both episodes.

So half the comments on the Tifa reveal trailer for Dissidia NT are all like WHOA FINALLY A FAITHFUL TIFA DESIGN LOOKS LIKE THE ETHICS DEPARTMENT SKIPPED THIS ONE, HUH and I'm just, "You shallow cads, she has the exact same body as in the remake, her costume is just simpler..."
Oh, right. Trump's rally in NJ is today. Super convenient that he gets to keep doing his campaign rallies during his own impeachment while several Democratic candidates are stuck in the Senate, letting their rivals have free reign.

Also criminal. Like, just issuing the threat in the first place is a criminal offense that one could be arrested for, I'm pretty sure.
@HazVsRPG
The game design and writing are there, the game just lacked polish at launch (which is ironic, since it's Polish).
The thing is, the people who rag on it for that seem to forget that there are multiple other games which were and are worse-off but are classics of the genre.

The years are grateful for protection from persecution...?
But no, seriously, the Catholic Church has a long, storied, and well-documented history of persecuting people. Some of those people were merely Catholics with some view the Church didn't like.

Karma is probably going to go something like this: we in the west will have to put up with Tifa having large breasts, and them fans in Japan are going to have to deal with Aerith looking like a 21-year-old white woman instead of a manga waifu.
Occasionally I see people complaining about the new Lois Lane as an extention of the usual "the woke agenda is replacing white people in pop culture!" spiel, and I just think, "But did any of you complain when Lex Luthor did it?"
@Moneybagzzz5
@IGN
That'd be a combination of people not wanting to get into arguments about it and the game itself being kind of mechanically bog-standard. But it's good game, make no mistake. There doesn't need to be an "impact on gaming" for it to be a fun time.
@ScoreAndOST
@TheWilderThings
If you ignore the law of large numbers and try to pretend that a slightly lower percentage makes things better when the difference between our population and theirs is ridiculously huge, then sure, we have "lower death rates." Willful cherry-picking of numbers that sound nice.
You've done it, Atlus. You've won with the Persona franchise at last. The protag of your latest game is in Smash. That's how you know you've busted into the mainstream. Just like that kid Lucas. Right?
@TheSphereHunter
Whooo, let's have another social media thread in which people pretend RE5-6's Chris Redfield face was always the Chris Redfield face and that Capcom hadn't literally cycled through three other faces before that plus yet another one in the third CGI movie before RE7's.
@breebunn
It's a good thing he doesn't really require that. :V The fine thing about the companions in BG3 is that they aren't strictly "good" or "evil," they just have different ideas about different things. It's more "learn what makes them tick" than "play to their alignment."
For all its faults and crushing mediocrity, creating Original the Character and then seeing them in action is damn satisfying. God, I hope Sega gives avatar creation another shot in a future title... maybe an action-RPG-like game? Eh? Eh???
Behold, Winter Wolf leaps into battle!
I just realized that Sega did something sneaky and evil.
They announced Sonic Superstars like half a month before Origins Plus releases. Origins Plus is very likely the same mechanical version of Amy.
Now I need to buy Origins Plus so I can try out Amy. Damn. They got me.
I mean, if Nintendo Switch Online actually came with good online service to go with the Virtual Console stuff, it might be worth that price tag for the expansion, but as it stands, the service provided seems like a price-gouge at this point.
Not only is the Sonic movie redesign far less generally ugly, it's actually quite a lot more expressive-looking thanks to the reintroduction of the cartoonier facial elements, and I think that makes it more effective at visual comedy.
Old Man Dante.
I just started up the first part of BSC's old DMC1 playthrough. We opened on Ted's "Santa Claus May Cry" joke.
Old Man Dante.
DAMN IT, TED, YOU DID IT AGAIN.
@littledeekay
Can we not do the thing where we acknowledge that "the okay gesture is now a white power sign" debacle exists, please? I don't know what's a bigger blow to my faith in the human race--that some jackasses invented that to trick people, or that people were actually tricked.

@GailSimone
This article is interesting. Someone who was interviewed noted something interesting: customers who were usually difficult became more obnoxious, and customers who're usually nice became even nicer.
Nothing so poetically encapsulates the hypocrisy of religious-conservative American politics like a President who takes a dramatic, inspiring photo of himself in front of a Church holding up the Bible after brute-forcing his way through a protest with tear gas and flash bangs.
@TheStarrySona
No. Really. They don't. Work/life balance in Japan is awful to a point where it's gradually having an eroding impact on Japanese society at large. It's why there are so many exhausted salarymen NPCs in P3 and why there are grumbles about an aging population in P5.
I have NO FREAKING IDEA how it happened, but a lot of Ted's audio just didn't export in today's Sonic Frontier's upload and I didn't notice because WHY THE FUCK WOULD IT DO THAT.
...Anyway. Ahem. Fixed upload is on the way.
Every so often my conscious wakes up and mutters that maybe I should be a little fairer to Donald Trump supporters, who aren't all as brazenly foul as he is.
Then a new comedy sideshow tap-dances into my life and I'm just like, "Nah, go back to sleep, this is too good."
It isn't. What it is, is an ordinary gesture that anti-SJW 4channers intentionally used as if it were a white power sign to plant the notion that it was one into the public consciousness, so they could turn around and claim that SJWs were making things up.
@grace_gootee
Sonic Colors and the meta era that followed busted out jokes like this so often you got a bit numb to it. Here where the tone is normally so serious, jokes like this come at you when you least expect it and it's hard not to laugh.
Okay, I'll say it. The redesign vastly improved things, and they didn't half-ass it either. The writing's still sounding A LITTLE ON THE "MEH" SIDE, but since we're not looking at that horrifying Annoying Orange lookin' abomination from the original reveal, should be enjoyable.

The term "concentration camp" has a broader definition than what we think of when we refer specifically to the Holocaust concentration camps. It mostly has to do with the nature of the camps themselves--how many people are imprisoned there, whether the facilities are adequate.
Well, I mean, it'd be weird if they didn't do this. Animal Crossing protag, Fire Emblem protag, Wii Fit Trainer, they've all got gender choice since they had it in the games they came from.
Welcome back, Green. It's good to see you again.
