I miss the days when all gg chat was relegated to cesspools like twitter and reddit subforums before the movement collapsed under its own hilarious stupidity and most people returned to their old places of discussion

If your facebook friends include people who post about gamergate then you should stop and reevaluate where your life is heading

Motto posted:people have a weird obsession with japanese idols. a trailer for a new falcom came out that had idols in it for a single shot and the entire reaction was people bitching about that. I know former anime emperor, Zorak, would often talk about how the idol industry is a front for actual yakuza or someshit. I have to wonder if that one idol group comprised of ladies over 80 are also part of the yakuza conspiracy and the death of feminism in Japan. Anyway, Tokyo Xanadu looks like a nice game, even though I probably won't be able to play it for a long time.

I think even pokemon had an idol minigame in it.

Zombies' Downfall posted:That analogy only really makes sense if the bread actually was made of ground-up cockroaches though, because Japanese games definitely put stuff like idols in things where it makes no sense to us and is weird the point is they didn't care or notice for years until it was pointed out to them. it was a bad analogy

Nerd A: <Thing> about <country X> is amazing! Why is <my country> so stupid...  Nerd B: Are you kidding me? <Other thing> about <country X> is literally the worst thing on earth and they should all be shot. <Country X>  Remember kids, all other countries are cultural monoliths and only your own deserves nuanced views.
