well, that was what I heard by hearsay as the reason for the game still being highly moddable. I would assume all the flaws in UE 5 become exacerbated once it has to interact with another game engine jury rigged to it.

Last I heard about it, the poor performance is due to the Original engine to the game still being in the background and using the UE 5 for the updating of graphics and what not.

really nice write up, thanks for the effort. By the way Madoka has a series of Movies from which the last one "Rebellion" is a continuation of sorts for the series and there is a new movie announced to follow the storyline.

Because wife beating is a SERIOUS character flaw, and not something that majority of people condone. That, plus all of his other flaws makes this specific Culture War Front very revealing.

don't they do that as part of their bit BECAUSE it is inherently sexual? after all sexual humor is one of the more universal forms of comedy.

the thing is that this isn't a moral question but a legal one. And there are enough points against this fellow than worrying about it happening to citizens is a non starter and to me just a sign of virtue signalling.

When the right identifies with orcs it's usually about behaving exactly like the orcs do against the Others.
I don't think normal people identify with orcs so much as act like orcs due to being a Role Playing Game.
When the left identifies with orcs it's usually about the orcs being less evil than they are pictured.
but first they have to see themselves and their client minorities in the brutish war like Orcs, and THEN comes the new editions with Orcs no different than mexicans without a dental plan.

Why do we have such empathy for evil people but effectively zero empathy for good people who had to endure the wrongs brought about by evil people?
the identification with evil is a recurring theme that surges periodically on social media, be it orcs in D&D, Bugs in starship troopers or Demons in Devil May Cry. At some point it becomes obvious that we don't share any more fundamental values that would enable coexistance.

but even if filled, the progs will do their march again, pushing conservatives out under false pretenses (be it #metoo2, racism accusations, or a new moral panic). And what I think the conversation is about razing the institution instead of freezzing it.

If the enemy is unwilling to cooperate why go for a middle solution that will let them try again when Conservatives fall out of power instead of a Final Solution?

As I like to say, Rationalists are thus named because they are excellent at rationalizing their biases.

maybe they are worried about copyright claims from the Japanese/distribution platforms.

In the specific case of the Captain Marvel movie, there are two reasons why it was successful that I would like to bring to light:
One was reports of empty theaters showing the movie circulating in social media at the time, not confirmed or anything (just photos of empty theaters) so it remains a theory at best. The second and more credible reason was that, as part of the run up to the wildly popular conclusion to the Infinity Gauntlet saga, the movie felt like required viewing to fans and thus it accrued an audience independently if it was good or not (it wasn't) just due to its release timing.

I personally are fine with anti-conservatives content IF it is something true or reasonable. But more often than not the post is a thinly veiled screech and the poster is Darwin's clone #346322 with no intention of engaging in good faith. This last tactic of deleting top level comments is just anoying, I didn't even know what the 2 deleted posts were about, just something Trump related; which is the reason for my question (plea).
I don't think no one who does that is really looking to engage in good faith.

sorry about that, it was two top level posts from upsidedownmotter, the second one I tought was from another user. Thanks again for your (and the rest of the mod team, even if I sometimes not see eye to eye with amadan) work.

Can we get the mods to please ban the troll accounts posting inflamatory content in the CWT as top level posts and deleting them after a few responses?. There are already two instances of new accounts doing it so far, and I think it would be in our best interest if the practice is heavily discouraged.

so I think you would still notice that your helmet doesnt, actually, sit tight after you do that. This is not like that delusion where you insist your arm isnt paralysed.
maybe you notice it doesn't sit tight, but if the quote were true, wouldn't there be a problem of clipping between physical objects and your fuzzy bits?
But even if it did work that way, how often would that happen?
I would imagine it would be an everyday nuisance with every type of headgear. It could be a sword, or a low hanging timber from the ceiling or anything else.
Aside, this was really interesting to see in my inbox, not yet knowing what conversation its responding to.
It was an hypothetical to answer this bit:
If I expected my ears to sit 2 cm higher than they do, how would that be punished in hunting and warfare?

your helmet (that you modified yourself to acomodate your delusion) doesn't sit as tight on your nogging, so that during a battle, against the army of Giktup the foolhardy, an errand sword strike dislodges it and the top of your head with it. Your wife and her sisters, know for their beauty on your little community mourns you for three days and three nights. Sad, sad stuff.

I would like a breakdown too. Like you, I followed him briefly for book recommendations, but stopped due to the constant LGBT stuff.

I think a good way to avoid that trojan horse scenario would be to only permit entry to high achieving people from that region of the world as I would assume they are more likely to follow medical advice.

I just didn't really see what's worth engaging with in your comment, I read it at the time as a lazy equivocation of latinos with gang members.
Independently of whatever you took my comment to mean or how effortful you thought it was, if you want to snark there is X for that. Here you will attract the mod's notice if you don't follow the rules.
Putting in a tad more effort: So, some gang members protected their neighborhood from looters, that's fine. But I'm not sure why it suggests that latinos as a demographic would be any more willing to live under an islamic theocracy than anyone else. If anything the example shows the opposite, they stood up for themselves and their neighborhood.
It's not that they would be willing to live under them, what I think would happen is a period of Balkanization in this hypothetic 40% muslim country with the Muslim population beginning in general to try to impose their norms now that they are approaching mayority in the country (like they did in Hamtramck, Michigan), and the other minorities (latinos, blacks, etc) consolidating territories (their neighborhoods and ghettos) where they resist the impositions.
The only ones caught with their pants down in this situation is the white lefties.

If it was the same energy I would have been slapped too. I gave an example of what is more probable to happen in the hipotethical of 40% muslim country using past behavior, you just snarkily took what I said and twisted it into the less charitable way possible.
As for your your snark, it's not necessary for every Hispanic to be a Latin Kings member, they just need some members in the neighborhood. That is how territory works with gangs.

These guys will likely have my back against this supposed muslim takeover anyway!
what is more probable to happen is that the Latin kings will close off their neighborhoods (like they did during the summer of love) when the islamists begin to act up and you will be one of the first to appear in the local newspaper.
I would assume in that case the foster system is the place to put them
