Hattie Masters posted:I think that the last two Saints Row games were lackluster and dissapointing. I played SR1 and enjoyed it, and liked that SR2 was allowed to get a bit silly, a bit self-referential and understood that the main character, by the nature of the game itself, had to be an absolute psychotic loon. But at the same time SR2 was just teetering on that edge of the silly/serious divide that made it absolutely amazing for me. SR3 and 4 just went too far to the silly side, which I know a lot of people loved but I found to just be tedious. I haven't played the original but I agree about 2 and 4. The Third is where it starts tipping a bit too far but is still absurdly fun. SR4 is just meh because you can immediately to everything and it's in a virtual world so the ridiculousness of your actions aren't as funny as they would be in a "real" setting.

The Saddest Rhino posted:The television show South Park has slowly evolved from its right wing roots into complete leftist and liberal propaganda, and why anybody should take it seriously at this point is a mystery. The show that spent an entire season ripping on PC culture just last year is now liberal propaganda. Well alright then.

hard counter posted:That's dumb, did Trump provide a rationale or explain how he was going to do it? Even as an unpopular-opinion-having ~*pro-lifer*~ I think the only long term way of 'attacking' the issue is through better sexual education, better availability of protection/contraceptives, better independent support systems for young kids, etc, etc, etc as a means of making the issue as obsolete as possible indirectly without touching legality. There's not much else you can meaningfully do to confront with the underlying causes and just outright rendering it illegal doesn't address the situation or even stop it from happening to a significant degree. You can't even regulate validity of reason either, a person is much more aware of the particulars involved their personal circumstances and involving the state to make a decision on their behalf when the matter involves intangibles like fitness of parenthood, potential quality of life, moral obligation in non-consensual pregnancy etc is insane imuo. I'm not sure what Trump's angle of attack would be here since the majority favor it anyway. Haha, of course he didn't

Because I can't remember that far back, so all I've got is memories of knowing that Santa wasn't real but that you shouldn't say that because adults seemed to be really invested in kids believing it for some reason. As far as I can remember, it's never seemed like a good thing to me. Yes. And I swear this username was just a random thing I came up with in 6th grade and has no meaning.

Tarantula posted:News shouldn't give up time for sports, I tuned in to learn what's going on in the world not some uninteresting crap about some twat making their first century. Public funds shouldn't be spent on sports unless it's things like public grounds everybody can use. Sports fans are really sensitive to criticism for some weird reason, and lastly Russian dashcams are boring, I get why people watch them but there is something about Russian ones I just find unappealing. There's a growing wave of sports fans who realize that public funding for stadiums is really dumb (San Diego just told the Chargers to gently caress off) but it's still a minority.

Grandmother of Five posted:huh. i thought some scenes with her were re-constructed, digital stuff, for some reason. it is definitely a lot less weird in that case, but the whole need for continuity/canon in fictional universes that you see a bunch in fantasy & sci-fi is weird to me still. i get that a lot of money is on the line & it makes sense to make big contract with actors like that have some kind of clause about using their likeliness is OK, but it still comes across as off-putting, as if the fictional character is more important than the person behind it. She has one scene in the entire movie and she says one word. It's a digital effect but she only died yesterday so obviously it's not necromancy. Tarkin was necromancy.

The Kardashians are actually fine, and most people who hate them don't have a good reason. In fact, this almost makes them cool (and Kim at least seems to have become more than a bland reality star, using her platform to address important issues like the Armenian Genocide and Taylor Swift being a phony).
