Is this a cultural thing? Do Japanese women just take baths with toddlers on the regular?

Jesus when i said " i don't think Liam is dehumanizing her beyond the inherent wrongness of such a detailed callout on manitupltive fraudster" that meant i was still wasn't comfortable with the callout even if she's absolute poo poo.

JordanKai posted:The rampant speculation of retro games really caught me by surprise a few weeks ago.

Given that games are a luxury/entertainment, and that people seem to genuinely enjoy buying and selling vintage collectibles, how would this situation not happen under socialism? Seems like something that a socialist government wouldn’t care about; they’d probably be too busy dealing with things like healthcare and housing

Austin walker is apparently leaving waypoint which is a bummer, but before that he's going to play through super metroid, a game series he's never interacted with for the most part. It's fascinating watching him stumble through it, encountering aspects that the game pioneered and he's seen in many other games. He's extremely familiar with tons of other games and genres, including the many castlevanias, but this has been a huge blind spot for him. Though he has watched speed runs of it so it's not a 100% blind run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtP2ub9SB5U&hd=1 Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Aug 25, 2021 |

If you're into Summoning Salt's videos, here's a video that's in the same vein and is just as high quality. It is about the history of people trying to beat Peach's break the targets stage as quickly as possible. Really impressive investigation work, and in the process of making the video he breaks new ground on the strategy involved in the run and breaks the record, then tells other people about the new strategy so they can break it even harder. Really good stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnKWKICUqWU The channel as a whole is not focused on this content, there's nothing else like this. There are a lot of good TASs though. The latest one is a lot of fun: Beating All-Star mode in SSBM, as Luigi, on very hard difficulty, without ever dealing or taking damage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZIi_boUgz8

Had I known all that stuff about Lulubuu I wouldn't have followed them on twitter. 90% of their feed when I saw it was posting silly video game pictures and goofy dubs. She posted a super long apology owning up to a lot of the accusations a couple days before closing her account. A lot of the tweets not from her victims that has been posted just feel like some gross rabbit hole poo poo. Real wall full of pictures with a web of red string connecting everything.

The individual in question has lied to, grifted, creeped on, and generally exploited multiple communities for close to a decade, including sending unsolicited nudes and trying to solicit nudes from people they knew were minors. It's absolutely loving disgusting and abhorrent, stop trying to defend them.

Go on Ebay right now and look at sold auctions of, say, a GI Joe 1986 Crimson Guard, or a Transformers G1 Bludgeon and your eyes will pop out. And I'm talking about loose toys, not even in their packaging. To keep this vaguely on topic, Stephanie Sterling has mentioned how insane the prices of Boglins can get, and that's a very niche market too. And let's not even get into Star Wars. I think it's a combination of people who grew up with 80s toys now being in their 40s with more than enough spare money, and the pandemic really restricting what hobbies you can still do during lockdowns etc. So people flock to their childhood hobbies.

Thats a small part, but the underlying systemic problem boils down to: 1. Working for financial stability is and has for years been a farce 2. Everything is a market. 3. Grift forever or die poor.

It's basically whey protein and some other stuff. If you're in the market for a low-carb cereal Catalina Crunch is way better than Magic spoon, but it's also pricy for what you get. You're also going to be disappointed in it regardless because there's no real comparison to real sugar cereals, but if you just want a lazy breakfast Catalina Crunch is better. Stay from The Cereal School/Schoolyard Snacks. That stuff tasted like poo poo.

Traditional cereal is specifically and very intentionally tailored out of mostly cheap poo poo (corn cyrup, oats, grains) so it makes complete sense that any attempt to de-shittify cereal will make it too expensive for human consumption. Plus expensive cereal already exists, it's granola and musli.

It's a market being held up by a pretend enthusiasm for retro games that will disappear if/when the market proves unprofitable for those people. Maybe I'm completely off the mark, but I think that wouldn't be as easy to do in an economic system that didn't incentivise the rat race.

I've been slowly building up a Genesis collection of games I used to have so finding out the market has been artificially inflated is funny. Most of the games were relatively cheap (Quackshot at 50 is my biggest buy) but one that I want is 200.

Including any hypothetical issue with hurting indie creators. You want to maintain copyright, make it available on steam or gog and you're good. *this was true for US firearms, not sure if it was a universal thing though.

part of it is also almost certainly that, yes, fundie pressure on payment processors was a thing, but OF was probably entirely willing to fold on this point so the top level execs could pump and dump it for a clean sex worker-free IPO and were not expecting the massive amounts of bad press that would have ruined their plans. The weird narrative that "oh no OF doesnt want to do this, its just the mean banks forcing them" was hella weird!

Endorph posted:obviously the direction its taken in in some stuff is weird but also siblings and parent/children bathing together is super common in japan, yeah, even if the child isnt that young or there's an agegap between the siblings. so take something that pretty normal culturally, a parent or surrogate parent figure bathing with a child, and pair it with oda getting weird about it and you get that scene. If I wanted to see a lot of old man rear end I could just go to the YMCA, it’s cheaper too

The weird narrative that "oh no OF doesnt want to do this, its just the mean banks forcing them" was hella weird! So, you're mad that OF didn't basically nuke their entire company, and everyone who worked for them directly, along with all the OF creators, by standing up to the massive banks and telling them off? This isn't new. Banks and banking institutions targeting and hurting people (mostly women) involved in sex work has been a thing for decades. The rule for porn sites for the past 20 years was make sure to toe the line for what Visa/MC/AMEX payment processors will allow because if they decide to shut that down you have no other options. You can criticize OF management for a lot, but the decision to adopt strict content guidelines when they were going to lose their banking services isn't part of a stock price scheme.
