Fair enough! I still prefer the implied version, but it’s definitely nice to have alternatives.
Also, I haven’t kept up with SF6. I was surprised Akuma wasn’t a launch character.

I’m seeing a lot of his moves from 3rd Strike, which is nice. Not a fan of that raging demon though. I still think it’s better the less of it you see and the more of it that’s implied.
Is the 35th anniversary the release of 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy on the Switch? I’d say the artificial scarcity aspect to induce fomo wasn’t any better. It might have even been worse.
I would suggest looking at other Kbin instances outside of kbin.social. or look to mbin, which is a fork that in told is more stable. I also haven’t made the jump from Kbin, but have been having similar issues with usability with it for awhile.
I’m pretty sure it shows up in Kbin 's search, which is how I found it.
They were being sarcastic, by the way.
As a bisexual man, the 90s were much different for LGBT folks than today. But yes, for most people, the 90s wouldn’t be too much worse than today, aside from economics.
Was better in some regards. I think most minorities in the US would agree that they at least feel safe and more free to exist in 2024 than they would in the 1980s or earlier.
Have you tried the Mass Effect trilogy? Generally considered to have a pretty good story, and it has choices so there’s some replay value too.
I’m curious, where’s “over here” for you? I’m not super involved in politics here in the US, but I don’t think surrogacy is really talked about much here? There’s the people who vehemently oppose it (from my experience that’s mostly the religious right), but almost any interaction I’ve had discussing it just lists it as an option people can consider.
I should mention that I’m Bi and don’t have a kid, so I mostly hear about it from the context of same sex couples.
That’s not-
Wait a minute. Ha, you almost had me, you sly dog.
I think they meant guaranteed income prior to selling the game, since they had no way of knowing how successful (if at all) the game was going to be once released.
He’s talking about Zaheer and the Red Lotus. They were extremely well intentioned, but set about their goals with violence.
I’ll never stop complaining that in the second movie Dooku tells Obi-Wan that the Separatists are the good guys and that there’s a sith influencing the Senate. Which would have been a cool reveal for the audience, that we’re rooting for the bad guys.
But then Dooku is also a sith anyway. What a wasted opportunity.
It’s possible to enjoy problematic media for parts of it that aren’t problematic while still acknowledging there are issues with what you’re enjoying. Especially for things made in the past, where societal standards weren’t the same as they are now.
I think this is especially true for video games, which have both story/visuals and game play. I could sympathize if someone found the game play of an older game very compelling even in the face of problematic story/visuals. Likewise, I can understand someone not enjoying a game specifically because they find it’s story/visuals offensive.
At the end of the day, as long as you can understand that a part of older media would be found as offensive to people today, understand why those parts are offensive, and know that those parts aren’t ok for modern media, then you’re good.
On the flip side, if you specifically, unironically enjoy these games for those parts, then yeah, you’re probably racist.
Edit: and in respect to your other posts here, I’ll add this: my understanding is that the mod was specifically targeting only that disclaimer, which means the mod maker specifically disagreed with the disclaimer. That is what makes it racist. If it skipped all intros in the game (which it sounds like it didn’t), or if the game didn’t have a built in option to turn that disclaimer off (which it sounds like it does) then people wouldn’t have as much of an issue with the mod.
Correct, the PSP game got a remake that’s been out for a bit.
It’s true, we give trials and similar protections to citizens of other nations, but if someone weren’t part of a nation at all, why bother? There wouldn’t be a larger body of organization that would be interested in protecting them.
And we have suspended that right to non-citizens before. That was a major issue with Gitmo (in addition to the cruel and unusual punishment)
The thing that annoys me about “Sovereign Citizens” representing themselves in court/thinking that they somehow aren’t beholden to US law because of some stupid declaration on their part is that the law and the court are there for their sake. Having a trial, being presumed innocent until proven guilty, and entire idea of due process is afforded to citizens of the United States. If “Sovereign Citizens” truly weren’t US citizens, there wouldn’t be a need to go through all of this. The government could just seize them and do whatever they wanted with them. They wouldn’t have any government to go to bat for them.
It’s all just so stupidly short sighed
Expect to see memes about it too in other communities. This’ll be the front page of most fediverse instances in some fashion for the rest of the day I imagine
