It's also very telling that the only thing he has an issue with is cops being compared to pigs and not the other thing.

I'm only about 5 hours in and so far I'm loving it. Suikoden was always one of my favorite series and I still have all my copies of the games.

Probably not an increase in the actual rate, just more victims willing to speak up and more people willing to listen.

Great novel. It's amazing just how much of what is considered to be the core of cyberpunk comes from it.

Conveniently there weren't any cops to kick the shit out of them, unlike people protesting the ongoing genocide in Israel.

Well I mean, DToast is just an employee. Im not sure why people cant seem to grasp this. Its almost para social in a way.

Meaning, folks want something to yell and scream at something so badly that they keep on giving executive traits to DToast that he doesnt even have.

Its all really just being done so that disgruntled users have a collective outlet by which to direct their rage at.

But in reality its like screaming at the Starbucks Barista because the company took away Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

In that regard, I could understand DToast not wanting a bunch of users that fall under his management to go on and be insulting his employer. It just looks really bad, and the blowback (whatever that might be) may actually end up unjustifiably falling onto him.

I mean quite obviously its not his fault that a bunch of users are being very vocal in their displeasure of Fandom, but at the same time it is a very logical assumption that his higher ups are eventually going to ask him please get you all to stop.

but DToast still isnt going to have the executive power to give into the users demands so it probably isnt going to stop, and that really is too bad.

Ultimately by making tons of topics that are basically just saying

youre just making a normal dudes life potentially miserable. Its not cool.

Its better to give legitimate constructive criticism/feedback. Voice your complaints, but in a way that doesnt get DToast pulling his hair in frustration.
Shut the fuck up.

I'd assume that one's just for balance purposes, since I think just about anyone can use a spear, except maybe dork-ass wizards.

If the cheapest and simplest of the Simple Weapons were as effective as they should be it'd throw off weapon damage progression.
Yeah, it's this. Why bother with martial weapon profs when you can just fuck people up with simple weapons.

Guns, even though they should be the alpha weapons without question they always end up weak as shit in most fantasy games.

Hell not just in most games but other media also.
There was a time when the rate of fire was so slow and bayonets so crappy that if a bunch of dudes with melee weapons got within melee range of you you were kind of fucked. IE Highland Charges during the Jacobite Rebellions. Imagine hundreds, or thousands, of Scottish dudes charging you in wedge formations, usually downhill, firing the guns they had at you in a volley, dropping the guns, taking your volley in response by ducking as low to the ground as they could, then screaming and finishing the charge by taking the point of your bayonet on their targe (type of shield) and then gutting you with either a broadsword or dirk.

Spears aren't really designed for one-on-one ground combat, they're to combat cavalry. Tho every weapon in a game should be viable in some way
That's fundamentally untrue. In every sense of the word.

It's always something I've found weird for sure. The spear has always been the simplest and most basic weapon humans have us in large numbers in our history. It's just a long pointy stick. You can fancy it up, but when you need weapons in large numbers you can go into the woods, find a long straight stick, sharpen it, and Bam you got yourself a spear.

I don't like the Legion or care for them since people just jumped on it.
I favored Mr. House's outlook if you want me to be crystal clear.
It was my mistake thinking we could have actual discussion on CE rather than a bunch of reactionary gotcha addicts that twist everything to try to rack them up.

I was just going off what was said about the developers and what they wanted the Legion to be. The faction was created to make you recoil but also make you question whether their methods worked in the Wasteland. There is NPC dialogue and lore that blatantly makes you question such things and it's meant to.

Their lands are safe from raiders and other typical wasteland threats but at what cost? That is the main question.
So the thing is, I can listen to Caesar's arguments in the game. I can divorce myself from the world I live in and put myself in the Wasteland. The arguments he makes are coherent and rational. I get them, I understand how he comes by them, I see how they can work. Then I shoot him in the face, because he's a monster.

The society he's trying to build is a monolithic monster wherein the continuation and stability of the society is of more value than the quality of the lives of the individuals in it. Society should serve to provide a framework for the betterment of the individuals in it. Not the other way around. It is, in essence, a sort of post apocalyptic fascism.

I have this to say about it: this guy is emblematic of a genre of freak that has spawned out of the tech industry in the past decade or two. In exchange for their prominent positions in the economy, they have produced nothing of value and many things that are actively harmful. They seek to remake the world to prevent people from noticing their lack of clothes.
And if they want to fuck around and create a monarchy I'll be more than happy to help them find out when their subjects give them what Monarchs should get.

Anybody who thinks like this needs to be [redacted] for the good of the society they are going to end up destroying.

Yeah, Fandom is axing boards they don't like, even as they continue to serve ads that use sex appeal. At this rate they should just make everyone on CE above a certain level into honorary moderators to access those sites. That way the [nonexistent] children can be protected, or something...
@DToast Can we get a justification for this logic? Fandom can sell ads with all sorts of horny/sexually related aspects but we get modded for posting or discussing anything remotely sexually related?

You conveniently skipped my above question. So I'll repeat it.
So would you say the Nazis here in this side by side comparison need a bit more police force used against them? Or do you only want it used against the college kids?

I've been seeing way too much antisemitism/pro-hamas activity at these protests to not warrant police force but the amount is too much for sure.

The bigger takeaway in this is that a lot of that wealth the top millennials have, was probably not earned by them, it's inherited - or their parents position and influence allowed them to get ahead where others weren't so lucky.

Your average millennial is almost certainly NOT "way ahead" of where their parents were at the same age, if they're doing better AT ALL.

There is a real gap in the millennial generation. Those of us who were out of college (or would have been, I didn't go) and into our jobs several years before the 08 collapse are doing far better than the ones after that. That group I think is called "Elder Millenials" and were born between 81 and 84. We didn't have the crippling loan debt that those came after us did. Most of the people I graduated with in 2000 took on some debt, but it was in the 10-20k range for their bachelor's.

We got lucky, I had an ok job waiting for me out of HS and my wife (Highschool GF) went to college on a full ride at a State School because of her grades and test scores. So we had essentially no debt past other than my car when we got married in 04. That allowed us to save up money and build a house when the market was it's bottom in 09 and builder's were basically begging people to build with them.

Generally the worst off ones I know are the ones who graduated between 2007 and 2011. Especially the ones who came out of college in that time, saw the market collapsing, and just went "well I'll just stay in school, take out more loans, and get my Masters". Which on paper was probably a good bet, but they accrued so much loan debt that they'll never pay it off.

Even now though, we don't make anywhere near that. In a good year we might clear 80k after taxes between the two of us. We only live as well as we do because we don't have kids. Every millennial I know that has kids is miserable and broke.

These protests are mostly left leaning. The things you mentioned are all right wing oriented. The police are an inherently conservative institution.

I'm sympathetic towards Jewish students who are offended or made to feel unsafe by some of the rhetoric being spewed by some of these protesters, but that feels like a pretext for the disproportionate response we've seen from law enforcement. If antisemitic rhetoric is really a justification for this sort of response, why did police do nothing when literal Nazis were marching in Charlottesville chanting "blood and soil" and "Jews will not replace us"?
Look man, you know why.

Some people want a right-wing dictator in place of democracy, even if they're not saying it.
Some people believe if they keep their head down and stay out of it they'll be fine if a fascist regime takes over
Some people are in denial that it can happen here. Fascism can take hold in other places but surely not in America.
Yes, and those people are incredibly short sighted and stupid.

It's just another childish attempt to get some attention. It's weird. If you're going to leave then just do it.

Think back to those people who say they're leaving the country because their candidate didn't win, but they never did. Same thing.
Or maybe because they genuinely give a shit about some of the posters here and want to say goodbye to a community they've been at for a long time. Not that I expect someone like you to understand a concept like that.

These people just like any excuse to get angry at something. I don't understand why people focus so much of their time and energy in things that upset them.
Because their lives are sad, pathetic, empty, and devoid of meaningful relationships. The rage helps fill the hole that exists deep inside them. It also consumes them and assures they will never get better, only worse.

Nope. You don't make friends with Nazis. You, in fact, should do the complete opposite.
People can talk about Daryl Davis and what he did all they want. He's an admirable guy. I only have so much energy to expend. I'm going to expend it on protecting the people the Nazis target. The onus isn't on me to make the Nazis not be Nazis, that's on them.

So why is it taking them over a week to give clear guidance on what is/isn't hornyposting? Why wasn't this guidance given as soon as the ToS changed?
Because they want the boards to die but don't want to openly kill them. That might upset the people whose content they rely upon to drive traffic to the site.
