That makes more sense. You know I don’t think Jackie circa early 2000 was all that pro China. I think it ends up being one of those old age changes people. Or… concussions.

Oh yeah, he was. Only as certain annoying voices but yeah.

Hmmm… I’m not sure the references either. Granted my frame of reference are things like Adventure Time or Steven Universe and from what I can tell those show runners are amazing.

I mean, Jackie Chan adventures was badass. Who cares if it’s coppaganda, if anything it’s mostly just unfortunate Chan kinda fell from grace.

Now that I think of it, I think that Mike Tyson show might have also been riffing off it.

Mix the two and use a trapezoidal shape for the mouth, perhaps?

When my raid friends and I have a little disposable income (like during COVID) I’ll admit we did troll one another like this. They’re still welcome to get me troll games and I promise them I’ll play them but only as a “rando” when I randomize my collection.

What’s more fun was back before people knew, recommending doki doki literature club to hentai VN fans.

All good. Also I’ll look into that game, I think I got a copy at some point. It’s the kind of thing I think I’d like.

I think the down votes are because the post is ultimately about the reliance on online libraries being flawed, which steam certainly is. Honestly, it often feels like steam will be around until the heat death of the universe, but alas I always figure I’m good though at piracy that all my purchases are essentially a donation, anyway.

That said, I think I heard that they have a policy that if it were to come to that, any files made local on your machine are yours and can still play them. Might be tricky if it’s drm and they go poof, though.

Xitter!

As a father of toddlers learning ABCs, I agree. I’ve seen some weird side steps, like X-ray Fish for an animal themed one, or Xerox— a company name. Or just straight up Fox because they couldn’t think of Xylophone or any other X words.

But, what’s the age appropriate alternative?

Certain “cures” don’t sit well with your gut, and it’s a pleasant image, so that’s my thought after hearing he’s getting treated for age.

Somewhere, in some pathetic bunker, Putin is having terrible diarrhea day after day while taking this so-called treatment.

Please enjoy that thought while you continue doom scrolling.

I mean at this point that’s my first thought when I think organized religion, so yeah, not shocking. Expected, even.

Well… I mean, if it’s out of context hand models, I don’t think potential employers are going to care, haha.

Something along those lines, although someone with better memory might recall. I think they even had the setting sort of figured out, which kind of shows in the early lore of that game.

To point 2, I like to mention that Overwatch started off as a scraped game. MMO if I remember right. Oversaturated market, so they took the assets and jumped into hero shooters when the concept was fresh.

Obviously contemporary Blizzard still found a way to ruin it, but to be fair the genre more or less than it’s course by then. Anyway, if Sony had an ounce of talent that old Blizzard had, they’d have done likewise.

Technically they still have it in their portfolio when they apply to their next, likely more lucrative job. 3D artists, illustrators, animators, etc, can use assets in highlight reels (usually, especially after NDA is cleared after release).

Also AAA titles are a collaborative effort. While it’ll suck to see it panned, knowing you are just the guy who made the hands or something softens that blow.

I remember from an interview that the first JRPG, Dragon Quest, was heavily inspired by Wizardry (as with other CRPGs of the time). Most others copied that design, including Final Fantasy, so in many ways we can thank Greenberg for helping lay the groundwork for virtually all RPGs, not just CRPGs.

I think the lesson this meme is saying is, you can sell pics of your feet too! Then you can donate money to anyone you want. Lol

I mean, if it was any other ally surrounded by countries that hate them, I’d understand this policy. If Israel wasn’t lead by a dickhead and their regime, I’d understand this policy. They literally only exist as a country with our support.

But as is stands now, it’s a carrot we should use to leverage peace and, in an ideal world, push for a better coexistence with people they’ve historically shit on. Giving it away for ‘free’ makes little sense aside from fear of losing their support and by extension, the election.

If we didn’t have foreign money, or PACs in general, would this be different? I would imagine it would be, if we could just fix that shitty system.
