Yeah man, that's a real video of a real thing that has not been implemented. Better than MREs!

At least with the reboot games they actually tried to give Lara character development and a personality that wasn't just 'British and Posh'. I could never get into the older games, but I quite liked the reboot and Rise.

Call me back when they get a cameraman who doesn't have constant seizures. I got violently ill before I managed to get a bow in my hands in the first game, and I don't normally get motion sick. You can't turn it off and it's baked into all the cutscenes. I hope you really want to vomit even without seeing all the violence!

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I can play Mirror's Edge all day, but that wasn't someone just fake shaking a camera like they were freezing to death while filming. Their camerawork is obnoxious, and the camera shake in third person was no better. Maybe they can just make their violence jerkoff simulator not also be filmed by the cameramen for the Blair Witch Project?

And my cousin's friends are also stupid as gently caress:



PS: The original video is from some meal at home service in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Oh hey, my cousin's dad chimed in. (I'm the one in yellow in both images)



UPDATE: AND THEN MY COUSIN DELETED THE POST. I guess he has SOME shame!

FUN FACT: My cousin's dad there has 100% disability. His lungs are burnt out from a gun backfire in Desert Storm. He had to actually fight for that disability status, and I am positive that involved food stamps.

That's probably a foreseeable consequence of promoting the idea that everyone is a racist because of systemic racism. The "racist" label used to just be for the most obvious, most hateful people, so saying everyone growing up in a racist system is a racist was shocking and attention getting. "I'm not like those people!" Fantastic way of getting people to pay attention to the jolly condescending racism of well-meaning folk, and think about how it looks from the other side.

But it means that the 'racist' label is no longer sufficient for the hateful mean-spirited racists. We need something stronger to indicate that these people aren't just thoughtless or ignorant, they are malevolent. Racist 2.0.

This process is also known as "crying wolf".

Oh god, a dude who was with me in high-school just shared the most :discourse: "old people are the best" video from a site called "Grand-Mother Tips", its in French so here's a translation (bold text was emphasized in the vid, all punctuation transcribed as is). For the images, imagine an old timey TV displaying a new black and white image for every line.

quote:

We, the people BORN BETWEEN 1950 and 1989, are the luckiest
After school, we would play until night fell
We never bothered to wear helmets
There was no risk in drinking tap water
And we never got ill after sharing it
Nothing ever happened to our feet, even after wandering around barefoot
We never used nutrition supplements to stay healthy
We were used to making our own toys and having fun with them
We never had phones, consoles or computers
But we had many real friends
We were used to visiting our friends without calling them first
The family was close-knit
And we had links based on love
We are unique and we are the most understanding generation
Because we are the last generation that listened to their parents...
And the first to also listen to their kids
We are not special but we are a limited edition

Now this is already pretty loving amazing, from the wide timespan (1950 to 1989 ?!) to the "oh we are so unique" crap, but the real kicker is that the dude who shared it is a year older than me, he was born in 19-loving-89 and having known him for like 4 years while growing up, none of the above applied to him :psyduck:

You can tell it was written by a person born in the 90s or 2000s because they equate phone with cell phone.

Also people born in the late sixties and onwards definitely often had home video game consoles and other microcomputers growing up. E: if you were born in 1968 or so you would've experienced the loving height of the home computing craze as a teenager.

And loving everyone hurt their bare feet all the time outside and the mum had to put disinfectant on the wounds and it sucked.

I'm definitely not defending the guy but if it's 100% disabled from the VA/Military, that does not involve food stamps. Even social security disability doesn't involve food stamps. Those are completely dependent on income and depending on how long he served and what rank he got to (if he retired) then he probably doesn't qualify for food stamps/EBT.

He's still probably an idiot though.

When I was 10 or 11 my parents said "fine, just watch cartoons all night!" It was awesome and they did not expect me to still be doing it when they woke up.

Way back before Toonami and Adult Swim; there was a solid hour block of black and white classics somewhere in there.
