America's youngest voters turn right
  • If you didn't know this, you haven't been paying attention. Right wing voices have gone hard at the young male demographic for years now. They've targeted kids in online games and social media, and groomed them for years all with the goal of shaping their world view and by extension, their politics. Lonely young guys looking at people who present themselves as successful, rich, and rolling in women, not giving a fuck about anyone but themselves, telling young boys that they just need to be more sexist and racist and that'll get them laid and make them feel fulfilled. Telling them that the world is wrong and they're not. It's been extremely successful, and all wide out in the open. That's why voices like Andrew Tate made it into the public zeitgeist.

    Frankly, it's an absolute failing on all of the left for being completely unable or unwilling to see this or show an alternative world view. Too often, when I hear people talk about young white men's issues, I get crocodile tears from everyone who can't separate them from actual right wing provocateurs.

  • Star Wars Outlaws sales were 'softer than expected,' so Ubisoft is slamming the release-it-on-Steam button early [will come to Steam in November]
  • This is probably why they pumped the brakes so hard on Assassin's Creed Shadows. The state they released Star Wars Outlaws in was absolutely abysmal. Something tells me they figured if they did the same thing with assassin's Creed shadows, they were fucked. They're also now releasing that one day one on steam. I really get the distinct feeling that if assassin's Creed's shadows doesn't sell for Ubisoft, they're in serious trouble.

  • Republican Rep. Goes Mask-Off With Racist, Vile Threat to Haitians
  • These white, Republican congressmen are wild. Cocaine fueled bingers, sex trafficking, Christofascism. Rape and disease. Nastiest leaders in the free world. Cults, wannabe gangsters. But damn if they don't feel emboldened now, attacking anyone they can.

  • US Justice Department sues Visa, saying it monopolizes debit card markets.
  • We're talking about what can be proven, and the DoJ seems to think they can prove Visa drove the market this way. You're talking about a hypothetical market where Visa didn't do what they did, which is irrelevant.

  • Ghost Stories (English Dub) is currently free in the US to watch on Youtube

    If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

    [FF7Rebirth] what are you most looking forward to see?

    The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

    [Spoiler] Act 2 - Last Light Inn | Discussion

    Can we discuss the start of act 2?

    I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

    This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

    I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

    It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

    My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

    Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
