Posted in: Video game bosses gather at 'darkest hour' for industry See in context

Ready to talk about what? That you didn't even seem to read the article yourself? It even mentions that there were numerous reasons, one of the biggest being an oversaturated market segment on the hero shooter type of game. Games like Overwatch and Apex already have a death grip on that market, you would need something amazing to break into it, which Concord was not.

Father down it mentions the bizarre "woke" internet hate campaign that it had garnered from perpetually online losers who can't form an opinion outside whatever right wing grifter is shoving down their algorithm on YouTube. But even in that point, they mention the "anti-woke" grifter campaign didn't cause it to fail.

So yes, come back when you have read up on the real causes of games to fail. Things like bad design, buggy releases and predatory microtransactions along with the garbage that is the live-service video game model are what is causing gaming to become tiring. Definitely not the "woke" when you have plenty of other games that are successful with what you would call "woke" elements to them (ie. Baldur's Gate 3). Meanwhile you have games like Stellar Blade that were hailed as the second coming of Christ in terms of video games being for "gamers" again and all it ended up being was a mid hack and slash that's story was extremely unoriginal but had scantly clad ladies for the gooners so those same perpetually online weirdos tried to hype it up.

When you make games for the modern audience...

And there it is folks, the "hot take" that a decent amount of perpetually online gamers who never matured have with a lot of games. It's all the "woke" that is ruining gaming, even when said "woke" game does tremendously well.

The gamergate crowd were targeted by a right wing psyop and fell hard for the grift. They're still around, because they never mature as a person, ruining online gaming and discourse for the rest of us

What is with Japan, mainly young men, mutilating cats and dumping them? I'm assuming it just doesn't get reported in other countries but seems to get reported on a lot in Japan. Straight up sociopath behavior, the guy needs mental health treatment.

Posted in: Rising pit bull attacks in Japan put spotlight on negligent owners See in context

Pointers point, retrievers retrieve, Huskies are high energy from being bred to pull sleds, Jack Russell Terriers will kill any small animal that comes near them. Dogs were bred for specific traits and it's their instinct to do things like mentioned above. Pit Bull type dogs were bred to bait bulls and fight, hence why they tend to snap and bite/attack other animals and people. Because they were bred for this they also do more damage than other dogs when they do bite. Irresponsible owners don't help, they need and very specific environment, training, and owner in order to not be a danger to others.

Unfortunately, there is a narrative that these dogs are victims and it's always the owners fault, when that's not always the case. They like to dismiss their instinctive violent nature from being bred as a fighting dog. We don't dismiss other working dogs naturally bred in traits but folks like to ignore that for Pit Bulls.

I knew one family friend in Japan who had a pit bull. It was huge and they kept it locked in their tiny kitchen most days, going to the bathroom everywhere. Their otherwise nice newer house stank because of it, and you could tell the dog was extremely anxious and the mother of the family could not handle it were something to happen with it. Felt bad for the dog, but even worse because they had a little 4 year old girl who is also in harms way because they can't be responsible pet owners.

Posted in: Shuri Castle emerges from ashes as reconstruction makes headway See in context

The main building,the one that burnt down is 2019, was a copy of the original that was destroyed after being shelled for 3 days by the US navy. They are going to build a copy of a copy. Let's hope they put in a sprinkler system this time.

Fairly certain that the one that was shelled during WWII wasn't the original either.

Not that it matters if it's a copy. A lot of historical structures in Japan and elseware are reconstructions.

Posted in: U.S. Air Force officer one of two killed in car crash in Aomori Prefecture See in context

Actually, if you look at the Misawa AFB facebook page they use big A Airman to refer to the deceased, which fits.

Posted in: U.S. Air Force officer one of two killed in car crash in Aomori Prefecture See in context

An "airman" in USAF usually refers to an enlisted person, also known as a "non-commissioned officer" (NCO). Loose reporting only adds to the confusion. Once the deceased is actually identified, the confusion should be cleared

This is wrong. Lower case "a" airman refers to E-1 to E-4. Upper case "A" Airman refers to anyone, enlisted or officer, in the USAF.

The person who wrote the FB post from Misawa PA was being vague because they did not want to release specifics until notification to the family.

He's only pushing this angle because he faces losing to Trump due to moronic exteme left types who won't vote for him because "free Palestine".

I never understood the allure of doing this, even as a tourist. You want to pay to drive a gokart through Tokyo traffic right at eye level with the exhaust pipe of every vehicle around you? Pass.

This will amount to nothing other than to virtue signal to the conservative/republican masses.

She screwed herself, they were talking about doing spinoffs and what not for her character and she blew it. Sacrificing her career to "own the woke mob" on social media is a very big brain move.

We got 8 Marines out there. Hoping for the best.

There were six on board and it flew out of Yokota so the aircrew were like Air Force.

Road without guardrails. So your standard unsafe for pedestrians side road that is all over Japan. Combine that with Jiji who can't see where he's going and the road probably being barely over one lane wide and this is what happens.

Regardless, you don't beat someone who is nagging you.

Posted in: Guardsman in intel leak case wanted to kill a 'ton of people': prosecutors See in context

I have a sneaking suspicion you're onto something here.

And what would that be? That these types of traitors and other right wing terrorist all have similar background stories? An obsession with guns and militias, anti government/sympathize with foreign governments, desire to commit mass harm to innocent people, white supremacist tendencies....it's always the same story.

It's been the same since the Oklahoma City terrorist bombing.

Posted in: Republicans criticize Biden for waiting to shoot down Chinese balloon See in context

As is expected, Republicans are the biggest hypocrites ever and would rather side with communist China then Democrats.

The party of traitors, who would have thought that the biggest "patriot" flag waivers would be against protecting US sovereignty.

It still boggles my mind that this even happened. The party of "patriots" who apparently love American democracy allowed an insurrection to be carried out in their name.
