What?

Trailer highlights theyre still using the kunos simulation software, which drives the physics. Might be using UE5 for other things.

Exciting af :o AC’s engine feels so good to slide around on. Wanna get my hands on it grab grab grab grab grab

The fact that the skins don’t affect gameplay is really nice, but you can’t ignore that the lootbox system is just a slot machine and that they allow skins to be gambled on the web.

Also their moderation is fucking awful

“Some media company sued the Internet archive so now I’m not paying any artists for their work or the media I consume” is entitled bullshit. Esp after acknowledging many struggle to pay rent.

Burn your CDs and listen to the silence. Maybe a thought will wander through your skull-cavern

We gotta steal gaming back from gambling and sports washing :(

Gotta have data to do anything with it. Important to actually be able to show and prove problems exist before trying to deal with them. (Need more data on causes)

Is national payment processing the solution?.. International public payment processing?

not sure meme applies. just suggesting that I think it’s unlikely they found a specific, well known thread on a low-traffic forum naturally while ‘searching for something unrelated’ instead of through one of the dozens of places it’s been shared in the last decade+ … especially if they’re viewing it/linking it through the wayback machine instead of directly?

I doubt you randomly ran across this highly popular and heavily memed thread, that I’ve seen everywhere from NASIOC to YT to work.

‘Degeneracy’ is just a dogwhistle

“regulated” doing a lot of heavy lifting

Idk, sounds like they should develop as people then

It’s impossible to be perfect so you won’t even try?

Sure, a lot of other things indirectly harm queers, but it’s pretty fucking clear that support for HP, which includes maintaining it’s cultural relevance, is directly increasing the influence, wealth, and power of a single person who’s utilizing a lot of their time and energy on specifically trans hate.

Not hard to drop a shitty YA series, accept that it was in the past and there was no harm in enjoying it, but that continued support is pretty directly harmful.

I don’t get everyone and their eternal “but it was my childhood” crap. I look back on the content I enjoyed in the worst parts of my life fondly, but I’ve moved on to enjoying other things? I don’t need to keep a series from 20 years ago as a current force in the cultural zeitgeist.

(In relation to the current media landscape as a whole) Why people just consume the same content, the same characters, or the same IP repeatedly, as they continue existing in a more and more profit-driven way is beyond me.

That and if you’re not already avoiding big box stores as much as probable, that’s kinda on you. People have to eat, and often, work has to be done, and those monopolies often give you literally no other practical choice. HP is just a single series among hundreds and thousands of YA magical boy series.

They’re basically swifties ffs.

Not something I was familiar with but ok, that’s good?

Feel free to swap it with casual neglect of pets then? That’s something I see from all sorts of people in my area.

But dog breeders are fine and good.

Frame it from the perspective of the american liberal. Dog breeders are good because I get a pretty puppy. Dog farms are bad because it’s what savages eat, dogs are pets.

I do agree that abandonment is cringe.

On their own journey, I’d be wary of introducing my own biases.

I feel that easily could’ve been excluded from the comic either for the author’s narrative, or simply to keep it a 3 panel. Could also just be alone time to process.

Sharing your beliefs with family is pretty common. Would you not want your relatives to reflect the way you see the world?

Just because it’s going against the generational direction doesn’t make it somehow wrong.

Nor is making a relative upset necessarily wrong.

Now, freed from the expectations, worldview, and belief systems of a religion, she is able to choose her own way of living?

I don’t really see how this is a negative. Religion gives easy, comforting, often bullshit answers to difficult questions. Who are you supposed to be? What’s the right thing to do? How should you treat others? What happens after I die?

Honestly I initially interpreted the comic as a joke about the dichotomy of how the son would feel good about it but it’s a lot of emotional processing for the mother.
