Wow, check out the replies on this one to see this dude furiously making tweet after tweet reaffirming how little he cares and how cool he is for not caring , which he definitely doesn't.

It’s so pathetic that I can barely stand to read it. It’s like if you said something dumb and someone pointed out it was dumb, and your response was to go “haha whatever,” pull out a skateboard, and immediately eat poo poo.

Four... that’s the number of games that should be in the Metal Gear Rising Series. Will they finally correct this mistake?

Someone in the replies to this points out that this interview was conducted five months ago, and the Kickstarter page makes no mention of Dangen. This could mean one of two things.

1. Platinum is no longer working with Dangen, which would be good.

2. Platinum is trying to hide the fact that they are working with Dangen, which would be very bad.

So that’s interesting.

Is someone going to explain why Dangen is bad?

They’re mired in accusations ranging from stealing from developers to sexual harassment on the part of the CEO. Bad news all around.

Different fictional universes depict demons in different ways. The demons in Doom are just yelling monsters. It seems like this new woman demon they're rolling out is also another yelling monster. It retroactively implies that all the other demons were men. Which raises questions about how demons experience gender

Yes, this is why it's very weird for me. Saying "this demon is female" implies a lot of complex things about demon physiology and/or psychology that really goes against the grain of "demons are heartless evil monsters and that's it, kill them all" that DOOM was leaning into before.

EDIT: What I mean is that this means that demons have biological sex, or gender identity, or both. All raise questions.

EDIT: I mean, I know about the phenomenon you’re talking about, but I’m not really sure how it relates to my dumb Plato joke. Also the new demon doesn’t have boobs or a big red bow or anything.

There was a genuine, heartfelt, organic desire to purchase that new product, and now the brand is shamefully trying to capitalize on it by advertising that product! I won't stand for it! It's a complete betrayal of the original spirit of being excited for product!

I have to agree with your sentiment. As irritated as I am with brands trying to engage with people on twitter, it’s hard to get my dander up at the DOOM twitter account referencing a DOOM meme that specifically revolves around the release of the upcoming DOOM game. It’s no baby nut, that’s for sure.

I have severe anxiety problems so turning on the tv or hearing it in passing talk about how we're all going to die and it's Trumps fault for gutting our medical research teams fills me with existential terror.

I really don't know what to do about it either other than suddenly burst into the thread and have a mini attack. I told myself we're going to get hit- just a matter of time when but now I'm just not able to sleep as I keep waking up and refreshing twitter or whatever else. This virus is ruining me before it can even reach me :smith:

Cable news organizations are financially incentivized to report on bad and scary things, because that's what puts butts in seats and eyes on ads. This is particularly true with disease outbreaks like novel coronavirus, because then they get to pile on the additional implication that you are in danger and you'd better keep your rear end on that couch and stay tuned if you care about keepng yourself or your family safe. Remember swine flu? The way that poo poo got reported on, you'd have thought it was going to kill every third person.

Novel coronavirus is bad. It's dangerous if you're one or more of the things that make the flu potentially life-threatening. (Old, very young, immunocompromised, etc.) It's going to kill some people. It's not going to kill everyone. It will not kill one out of every ten people. It will not kill one out of every one hundred people. It will not kill one out of every one thousand people. If you do not have one of the complicating factors I listed earlier, I bet everything I have that you will be fine. Even if you do, you probably won't catch it, especially if you're diligent about washing your hands. If you do have one of those things and you do develop flu-like symptoms, go to a doctor and follow their instructions and you will still almost certainly come out on the other side of it. So, take a deep breath (and I mean all the way to the bottom of your lungs!) and don't worry about the fear-mongerers.

EDIT: I know that you can't really logic away anxiety, but if you need someone to tell you that novel coronavirus isn't the approaching apocalyptic pandemic that some people are making it out to be, let this be it.

Honestly I don't know how you can stick with this thread if you have anxiety issues.

I stopped checking in here as much because it felt like everytime I did ya'll were talking about depressing poo poo and being completely negative about everything, which I really don't need more of in my life. Felt a lot better since cutting that poo poo out, and I didn't want this thread to be one of those places but this forum in general has depression problems.

Ah, you're talking about the :matters: brigade. I agree that I could use as little of that energy in my life as possible. However I'm wary to chide people for it because who the hell am I to tell someone else how to deal with the bad stuff? :shrug:
