That disgruntled graphic designer couldn't even remove the background. Just an awful cover all around.

quote:Best. Year. Ever. quote:Best. You. Ever. I like how the original quote balances personal enjoyment, socializing and education while the "fixed" version only focuses on self-actualizing for the career.

I was never a teen girl but I know that when I got home from being at school for eight hours a day the first thing I wanted to read about was how to study more

capital genuinely understanding teenagers better than bougie wokescolds is pretty funny i mean, ffs, maybe if you want to make science appealing, put some effort into taking a good photo of your prospective stem girlboss and let her dress up a bit. i mean, if she wants to emphasize practicality in her appearance over overt gender performance that's fine, but do the work to make that look a little badass. or even just give her more warning than like her mom snapping a photo of her on her phone ffs.

The real issue here is the lovely news aggregator that made a whole article about what I assume was a tweet with a low-effort photoshop. News articles about epic clapbacks should be legally distinguished from free speech and banned.

among other things COD 2019 has an extremely obvious Highway of Death analogue but it was done by Russia not the US (*the Highway of Death technically wasn't a warcrime) you also get to decide just how psychotic you want to be in torturing / threatening someone with their wife and child (actually better than usual for COD since it makes it a lot clearer that Price is an incredibly hosed up monster rather than a Hard Man Making Hard Choices)

Toplowtech posted:Didn't they blame Russia of all country for the us army created Iraqi's "highway of death"? it seems so inept as propaganda to me. like I guess chuds don't make a habit of maintaining internally consistent beliefs, but is there even a relevant audience for "this was bad and wrong and russia is scary"? the people who are receptive to that sort of thinking don't think its bad or wrong. they want just enough hypocritical liberal handwringing to give them both cover and a chance to revel in the implicit celebration of americas ability to create suffering and death.

I think the cool thing about CoD is that the single player story is completely hands-off as far as the profit center is concerned. So you have a lot of artistic freedom (like spec-ops the line) to do warcrimes, or paint the player as the bad-guy, or not. Also extremely cheesy jokes like "Press F to Pay Respects." It's pretty great.

Fallom posted:was that the one where you play as GM strike busters i only played modern w1 and it was almost 15 years ago, all i remember of the plot is a coup in the mediterranean or middle east that the us/uk/russia all make worse with their special forces bullshit. i also remember thinking it would be more subversive if digital gunfighting weren't so darn thrilling. It does at least try to kill any sense of satisfaction you could get narratively, i felt like everyone died in the game for no reason. i also heard the devs lost a huge amount of editiorial control after the popularity of the first modern warfare game. Real shocker that the team that revitalized a dying series was forced by management into a style of production that directly mirrored it's previous decline into mediocrity and unremarkablity.

the only COD I ever played besides warzone was the old World at War. I thought the single player missions were fantastic if not challenging one mission rips off Enemy at the Gates and it's so fun
