No it won't. States run elections. Midterms are NOT a lost cause.

We're talking about an administration who isn't afraid to send the national guard against states consent. Moment Trump smells anything resembling Democrats winning, he'll send in the national guard to stop it.

It'll be Russia style elections.

Rigged and there will be armed forces ready to shoot you if you vote for the "wrong" person.

It's why I see midterms as a lost cause.

Actually, a majority of the audience is left wing now. Got into this argument with my cousin who only saw wrestling as left wing, turns out he ain't wrong.

The wrestlers themselves are inherently right wing. With few exceptions like CM Punk and a few AEW stars, wrestlers in general are right wing. As well as those who work behind the scenes.

Wrestling is inherently right wing.

The Switch 2 and it's games will get an increase in price soon. It is inevitable.

I wouldn't be surprised if they remove NSO family memberships to force everyone to pay for it individually to maximize profits.

Wouldn't this lock out a majority of gamers if the AI seems you're a kid? I feel like some higher ups would still see gaming as for kids so even if you look at an M rated game on YouTube, you'd still get the verification check.

ProtonVPN is free and good

They'll just arrest people who use VPNs.

This is the beginning of the end for internet freedom. The US will soon follow and it will be even more extreme.

At this point NSFW games will be a thing of the past, or at least will have a prohibition style way of selling or distributing them.

And they will go after more mainstream games soon at this point.

I wouldnt be surprised if some people want to that. But cheering deaths is an easy way to get modded.

Given the past few years, I always assumed he is one of those people that people are willing to risk getting banned or worse to cheer on the news he did die.

Not saying to do that, mind you. It's just an observation.

I am surprised at the comments. I was expecting more people cheering for his death given how he was buddy-buddy with Trump.

But prayers to his family for this, regardless.

How long until Trump goes on an angry tirade on social media about South park after this episode.

Yep. You can't give these people an inch because it's never enough.

And they know people will accept this because it's NSFW games. The processors know that people defending them will be painted in a bad light or mocked by the general audience.

So they can get away with this until you hear how in the future Sony and Nintendo were forced to remove Cyberpunk off their store fronts or something.

Let's be real. This is why it isn't recommended to make NSFW content these days.

Not because it would be morally bad but you'll get screwed over like this.

What a surprise. I knew if we got new megas they'd be awful in their design like the rest of them.

This is what will pop up:

• A little bit of Champions info.
• Z-A info with objectively terrible Mega designs if we get any new megas shown.
• Mobile slop with microtransactions.
• TCG news
• Them keep saying how Pokemon is a healthy franchise or is growing.

That's literally it. There is no way we'll get anything good.

America was founded by slave owners and people who wanted to work with slave owners.

And most of those slave owners were raping their slaves, and many of those slaves were children.

America has always put Rich White Pedophiles ahead of Smart Black Women.

People need to realize that by design, America is hateful and cruel. It is just by design and American nature. The progressive and kind people are a huge minority if you look at the entire population of the country.

Only thing I know about that group is apparently they're trying to pull Detroit: Become Human of all games off shelves and pressuring store fronts to take it down.

That would be a high profile hit if it were to happen.

That would be really bad if that happens. If that does happen, then there should be legal action on those website allowing frauds, false advertising, inappropriate and malicious adverts to appear.

Google likely wouldn't care. Supposedly they were warned by a ton of companies to keep adblock because of the viruses and ads yet they still chose this. They won't care if they have to ban users for using adblock if it means fighting it.

Right now most of the shit that was taken down was just shovelware, but next month it will be the good stuff, or games that aren't even porn. There was a Chinese Ace Attorney clone that got taken down with no notification to to the developers at the same time.

Keep an eye on certain games like Baldurs Gate 3, The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, and famous Visual Novels like Muv-Luv or Steins;Gate. If any of those get taken down the it is proof that anything is on the table even if some people may want them off Steam. It'll show just how far they are willing to go now.

His base are a bunch of kids under 22. Nothing will go down when Tate goes down.

Yet they will grow up which can be scary. They will keep his beliefs and when they grow up and become independent, there will be an increase in violence.

Even if he is dead or jailed, the fact he has an almost Trump level stranglehold on his base will prove that shit will go down if something happens to him.

I think as long as Sony and Nintendo are anti-lewd, there will be no official home for Senran Kagura and it should remain a dead franchise.

Most people won't pay attention to this since so far it is porn games. Which is what the Payment Processors want so they can move to other games they find "obscene" including those with LGBT content.

If we have elections again, the losses of Hilary and Harris to Trump basically put female politicians back hundreds of years.

I feel like people who think America will be fine once Trump is gone are as lost as the people who think Russia will be fine once Putin is gone

You place waaaay too much stock in the specific figurehead and not the utterly broken system the population by in large accepts.

Bugger all will change.

It'll likely be worse when he dies. People will look for a scapegoat to target and blame for his death to let out all their pent up anger and violence on.

They will inevitably make adblock a bannable offense. It's the next logical step.

We have grown past the concept of police so I am not complaining. I would be overjoyed actually.

They're very likely intentionally ignoring you.

Yeah this. Exact same thing with the east we swastika. A subculture cannot determine what a symbol means for everyone. Thats not how anything works. Lots of right wingers like MLP too. Doesnt mean they are MAGA characters.

Unfortunately it depends on how damaging the sub culture is. In this case it is a really rotten apple spoiling everything. Many people hold the notion of "symbols and words can change" and do the vast majority of people who are outside the East, the Swastikas meaning changed for the worst.

Same with Pepe. There is a reason why a lot of resources cite it as an official hate symbol. It got permanently taken over.

Dungeater posted...

again, LightSnake is not anything close to maga

no matter how many weird accounts or alts come out to say it

I got called MAGA too despite saying how much I hate this administration and is terrified I'll die due to it. Seems that is a go to come back to people.

Takuya_Lee posted...

Their point still stands. Trump is NOT America. He's just an old man trying to stay out of prison.

And yet the Swastika wasn't originally a Nazi symbol and now look at it.

The meaning of something can change drastically and permanently.

Ivynn posted...

So, like, is the goal here to just pretend they don't exist?

Because that's not gonna work. They've existed for like the entirety of human history. No attempt to erase them has ever succeeded.

With this administration, they sure as hell will try. And could very well arrest people for bringing them up or even threaten countries unless they stop acknowledging the LGBT.

Isn't MGS4's cutscenes so long that there's been reports of people getting blasted on Twitch and other sites because admins assume people were streaming a movie?

Both of them are huge epitome of why modern Pokemon designs(Gen 5 onward) is considered so objectively terrible so neither.

If he does die, the government knows how cult won't follow JD Vance so they'll just continue to use his corpse or make an AI of him and make excuses why you can't see him.

The number of people who refuse to use Amazon but have no problem with GameStop must be vanishingly small.

Amazon doesn't stock up on everything. Hell.if you're in the US, because Amazon pissed off Nintendo you can't really use that as an option if you want to order a Switch 2.

I remember people got pissed off over the Marvel side and thought Capcom was intentionally mocking the player base with Rocket Raccoon.

There's some areas that it's the only store that sells video games. If those shut down, they'll likely have to spend 3-4 hours driving to the nearest store that sells games.

For some people due to circumstances in their lives, the only way they can survive and escape is to hope their state gets annexed by Canada or another country. It can be literally the only way they can try to survive the madness.

I feel like the only way to salvage this country is for another country to mass annex it and make it part of their country.

At this rate, the only path we're going if it isn't total violence against the rest of the world is another country annexing us and we merge into their country or the country to be split into other many nations.

Americans have proven they are incapable of living politically.

As I said, I need medicaid to even survive and with it being cut, I likely won't get my medication at all.

Guess it is official and I was correct the whole time. This administration is going to murder me with this bill.

MarshMellow posted...

Are you on medicaid?

I've been on it before when I was unable to work for a while. I was making a little money from home but I don't think that would qualify for 20 hours a week.

So if it happens in the future I'll just be without healthcare. People with little to no income can't swing the crazy premiums.

Yes. I am. I'm disabled and I keep being rejected for employment because of it everywhere. I also need it to help get some medications I need. But without Medicaid I'll likely just die in my bed one day.

Every democrat voted against it. How the fuck can they do more? Are they supposed to literally get into fist fights? Grab the bill and run around the house floor playing keep away with it? Fucking hell you people look for any excuse to absolve republicans of culpability for the shit they do.

With how the real world is and how the Republicans are, voting isn't enough anymore. What you brought up is at least ten times more better in our current climate than voting and hoping.

True history will have Trump as the worst. But we all know the Republicans will rewrite history to make him the best and Americans will be none the wiser.

It's official. The moment this passes it will be a slow, painful death for me.

This is just a preview of what will happen in America.

I'm certain I remember an in universe ad comparing companies to work for. One of them was promoted as having like a whole week of vacation time and healthcare!!!

That's America today, without the cool cybernetics. Add in the corporatocracy, the lawlessness, the insanely militarised police, the tying of all sorts of rights to your ability to be a cog... America isn't quite as bad yet, but it's absolutely on the path.

The only cybernetics America will get are mandatory implants to track our every movement if the Republicans who want this get their way. So yes, we are on the verge of living in Cyberpunk.

America has been taking non-stop L's and it hasn't even been 6 months.

If you are constantly getting defeated that will lead to a defeatist attitude.

What people call defeatism and nihilism is simply how human beings truly are. The world is just that miserable of a place so defeatism is the natural human response.
