Ah, perfect. I would agree with those rankings. I always wonder what the world would look like if Julian had ruled longer. Would he have been able to return Rome to a pre-Christian era? Or would all of his changes be undone anyway after his death regardless of how long he could stay in power.
And apologies for missing them, the image was hard to read on my phone.
Is Julian the Apostate on here? I have a soft spot for him, though he definitely wouldn’t go in the top tiers. Also, did Philip the Arab make it on your list? My memory would place him as above average, though it’s been awhile and I could be misremembering what all he did
I appreciate seeing Claudius pretty high up. It’s been awhile since I dived into Roman history, but I remember Claudius leaving a strong impression on me. Definitely felt like he was expected to fail but then defied expectations.
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 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.
Some might put adds in front or at the end of videos. I’m sure the “viewer counts” also help them negotiate rates for adds on the page itself.
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.
Serious question, how often have you rewatched the prequel trilogy? Say what you want about the sequel trilogy, but at least it can be entertaining. The prequels can be so boring.
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
Interesting, I hadn’t heard of this before. I’m not sure how I feel about the environments in the trailer. I think the game looks largely visually appealing, but the trees/snow/rocks seems to clash with the character models.
I checked the website listed in the video, and it looks like it says there will be local split screen!
I can second Thumper. I bought it on a whim, and have since bought it several more times for more devices. It’s such a satisfying game to play. I had no idea about the Harmonix connection, but it makes total sense now that you’ve said it.
Very excited to see this finally released. As glad as I am that it’s free, I wish Sony or From could have given it their official blessing and partnered with her so she could sell it and make money. She’s put a ton of work into this and the PS1 Demake, and I wish she could have gotten paid for her effort. She deserves it
I hope you do play it someday! I think it’s definitely a game you have to be in the mood for, but when it clicks it’s an amazing experience. But I also think it’s really easy to bounce off of it too
I think this was most likely it. If the new actor sticks around then it’s possible he’ll be as well known as Martinet, but I’m sure Nintendo would prefer the voice be someone who’s more easily replaceable.
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
