People aren't understanding that going "but Trump is worse in this issue" is irrelevant since Trump doesn't need pro-Palestinian voters to win.
Shockingly, Palestine one issue voters who think "voting for a genocide enabler is unconsciable" (crazy thought amirite) apply that thought to Biden and Trump equally.

I really don't understand the appeal for men. They add height, creating the perception that a woman- who otherwise would be shorter than you- is taller than you.
They add to a sense of "class" or "elegance". A nice dress and heels can be a really striking look.

Generic create-a-character characters don't tend to work in a narrative driven game where the protagonist is a fleshed out character. Not sure why some people seem to think every game should have character creation.
I completely agree with your point but calling Ubisoft protagonists "fleshed out characters" is extremely generous.

I mean, big 2 comics has a lot going against it that makes it pretty inaccessible.

-To me there's always been a stigma of comics have dumb premises and dumb melodrama

-The "read chapter 1 bro" thing is a factor. Non-readers get the impression that they have to know a web of mythology and jump between 16 tie in books to read a Spidey run they're interested it. Its a wrong impression, but it is the impression.

-Frankly, anime and manga piracy are often synonymous with those communities, not really the case with comics.

Because the writer wanted to speed up a long term change, without delving into the implications of a really long term skip.

1 year is enough to be an experienced adventurer in fiction logic, but is short enough that you aren't expecting the world's status quo to flip upside down. At 5+ years you'd have to start worrying about some major events, characters changing greatly themselves etc.

In choice based RPGs I often avoid it. Characters are mostly written to be likable in the first place, and you often lose content from being dickish or evil. A lot of these games respond to you being evil with punishments rather than any material rewards. That makes sense in universe, but gives me little reason to deviate from being a goody two shoes.

This. Ever since Bethesda took over, it's been mainstream.

No, in general.

Rule of thumb, if it's a AAA game franchise, it's mainstream. It doesn't have to be on the level of recognizability of Mario or Sonic to be mainstream.

This really isn't true. Gaming has grown alot but there's still a difference between "mainstream in gaming" and "mainstream mainstream"

Kind of obvious that those become legitimate targets,

Civillian targets are not legitamate targets.

also why the assumption that Israel would expect there to still be civilians there after the warnings to leave?

Probably because of all the other times where they gave their "warnings" (those warnings are complete bullshit), they somehow, magically happened to still kill civillians.

Are you suggesting that Israel see that their strikes kill civillians and then put zero consideration into avoiding that for future strikes?

Using an example that personal is disingenuous as fuck, just saying. Also the circumstances are completely different. I don't think I've ever seen a worse analogy before in my life. You are comparing a scenario in which I actively know that someone is holding my mom hostage, to an active war zone in which Hamas prevents civilians from leaving after Israel warns them to.

You're so close to getting it.

Yeah, Israel don't see it as comparable to that situation, because they don't care about civillian casualties, because they don't see Palestinians as people.
