Why does it need to be?

because most fans from other countries dont see one game and leave. They usually tour the games around the country why make the travel harder?

I dont care, he's a billionaire and he can easily give more money than what AEW will raise.

It's better than nothing but i hate when celebrities and rich people do this shit. When a person can single-handedly fund something they should just do it.

LA should have been the final. NYC with the opening. LA metro is bigger and is a bigger soccer fanbase

it's not a midway point between the east and west coast though

CruelBuffalo posted...

A Dallas final? A travesty. If only NYC built the stadium in their own state

Its a large Metro area with close proximity to mexico and in an area with a large soccer fanbase. The only other choice would be San Diego but we dont have the stadium to support it.

Plus the cowboys play in an indoor stadium for a summer event

Essentially saying that being friends with racists gives you a chance to change their minds but why would a minority have to change the racist's mind?

The onus should be on the racist to not be a shitbag in the first place and not me as a black person to convince someone not to be racist.

Normally i wouldnt make a topic for a reply to a single post but the topic was closed and ive seen the sentiment shared a lot on here.

"Because in real-world D&D, the dice roll creates opportunity. In Baldurs Gate 3, it stifles it."

One time my party was trying to sneak through a kitchen to BBEG lair and my friend rolled a nat 1 on a sneak check and slipped into a cabinet and knocked over all the pans and took 4 health in damage. Then we had to fight a bunch of Loxodon guards.

So if anything its more forgiving in BG3 than it is in real life

Isn't it racist to assume that it's mainly minorities that prefer to own pit bulls or other targeted breeds? If there's any reason why pit bulls may be owned more frequently by minorities, it's because they are more accessible through shelters that are busting at the seams with them rather than buying a pup from a responsible breeder that charge thousands but only if you pass an interview with them (backyard breeders and puppy mills don't give a s*** about how you will treat the dog in your home as long as you have the dough to pay them for it).

Pitbulls are super common because they are loyal, mean looking, and cheap. I can drive down to where i grew up and i can almost guarantee you someone is giving away puppies on the corner.

So if you live in a bad area and need a guard dog you just go get a pitbull because they are everywhere. Its a big problem as to why they bite more and fill up the shelters. If you cant afford to buy a dog you cant afford to train it or spay/neuter it.

I dont like either of em but Zuck is pretty decent at BJJ and Musk is an out of shape man child lol

Did people get upset over Jacks design in ME2?

Jack didnt look like a kid though.

Idk i havent seen anyone say that sexual content is bad and western games get called out for over sexualizing women all the time. GTA got railed for the hooker stuff, bioware gets called out for sex scenes, and Elder Scrolls gets blasted for bikini armor all the time.

The main issue with some JRPGs is the same problem some animes have. The sexualization of kids and the defending of it. Ive made topics on here calling out both communities for defending lolis and the over abundance of sexual mods for western rpgs

I feel like I've said a lot of positive stuff about the game over the last two threads. I generally post in a moment when something makes a big impression on me. In this case a silly mechanic caused something to happen to me twice in a row. These may have been negative, but "cynical" strikes me as a mischaracterization

I went back to look because i didnt wanna call you out if im wrong and i wanted to apologize but nope a lot of your posts seem to be gloating when you find a fault.

You harp on about bugs or how something is wrong. You have a few positive posts but to me a lot of your post come off as you enjoying to hate on the game.

Like if you dont like the game you dont like the game and thats cool. Not everyone is gonna love it but your posts just come off as trying to rain on the parade of the people enjoying the game

Right, he initially gives you consent, but it's debatable whether he can maintain active and enthusiastic consent while a bear. But again that's going full ceman debate mode. I'm personally not offended by the whole Halsin scene.

I mean if it was a real thing i would see it as the couples who are ok with a partner initiating sex while the other is sleeping. Where it would be consented on before the act so during the act both parties would be on board.

cuttin_in_farm posted...

Men have issues. The right listens and tries to give them answers but theyre manipulative and s***ty. The left refuses to listen and blames mens problems on men. Men get pushed right.

This isn't even true, The Left is very big on men's mental health issues and how men should be more open about it.

So I reloaded the encounter and this time Karlach burnt herself to death after her rage since she'd been on 1hp
To add a final insult to injury apparently you can't remove dead party members from the party so I have to spend a revivify scroll on her

I dont get your posts. You claim to like the game but everything you post about is negative. Just dont play the game.

There's things i dont like about the game but i dont need to harp on it. Everything ive seen you post about is so cynical and negative

How difficult is this game to get into if I've never played the prior entries (or DND) before?

There's tutorials but you might have a learning curve.

Tyranthraxus posted...

And no one is doing that. They're comparing a Halsin scene to a scene with a 3000 year old dragon which isn't a worldwide epidemic because it's not even real.

Now you're just being obtuse on purpose here. No one is condemning anime people for fucking shapeshifters and you know it.

They are condemning anime for the sexualization of kids. If the dragon turned into a character that looked like Faye from Cowboy bebop no one would care.

If every Larian game was letting you fuck animals then yes it would be an issue but an optional throwaway scene with two consenting adults is two different things.

Tyranthraxus posted...

Forget about rape for a minute. People can and do abuse animals all the time, including bears.

and thats wrong.

The difference is though with context people can see this as a joke whereas child pornography and sex trafficking of minors is a real-world problem that affects so many people.

I'm sure there are people who would like to fuck a bear in real life but I'm sure that is a minute number to the millions of children who are victimized every day.

No one in this topic is condoning any real-life abuse of animals but comparing the Halsin scene to a worldwide epidemic of child abuse is a terrible thing to do.

Its stupid and for men masturbation is good for prostate health

Tyranthraxus posted...

So if the exact same dragon could also change into a bear is that ok?

Dragons dont exist. Neither do druids and bears aren't getting fucked by people in real life.

Kids exist, and are trafficked, molested, abused, and killed irl.

Just stop with this stupid ass topic now. Also, we all know Japan's problem with the age of consent and laws about child pornography. Lets stop pretending like it's all some innocent thing.

Japan is a beautiful country and culture but it has ass backward laws when it comes to protecting kids.

Prestoff posted...

Sounds like "mentally" you're fucking a man, but "physically" you're fucking a bear. And I can't believe I actually typed that out as a sentence. What a time to be alive in 2023.

yeah, and its not even the default option lol. Its a choice you can make for a joke. The game doesnt sexualize Halsin throughout, he's not wearing skimpy armor, he's not depicted as a kid, you can't flirt with other animals.

Its a 10 sec throwaway scene thats 100% a joke.

VeggetaX posted...

Dude is doing a lot of "actually" to try and rationalize why fucking a bear is okay. I'm sure you think you look entirely sane here.

Youre not fucking a bear, youre fucking a man

blackrider76 posted...

This isnt actually a defense though. Unless you want to say JP games can do the same thing too if its presented as a joke.

You seem like you REALLY want to sexualize kids man

IronWolf87 posted...

So if you wanted to go full redditor you could argue that in his bear form he doesn't have full control of his mental faculties. (he mentions this when you first meet him) and thus while he consents initially he cannot maintain that consent as a bear, but like i said that's going full redditor/ceman argument mode.

I mean he still has a human mind with more animalistic urges but even so, he's consenting in his human form with his wits intact. You're not seducing a bear, you're seducing halsin who can turn into a bear.

Prestoff posted...

Do we actually have people who played Baldur's Gate 3 to chip into this discussion? It really seems like a lot of conjectures being thrown around by people who probably didn't actually play the game and just came to conclusion based off some stuff they read off a headline.

Its not presented as a serious thing.

There's a druid character named Halsin who you can romance. If you romance him you get a cutscene where you kiss and he gets overcome with emotion and turns into a bear and he's like my bad. You then get an option to tell him to change back or stay as the bear.

If you stay as the bear your character says a funny line and it cuts to a squirrel looking shocked. Its all presented as a joke.

Also, i wanna point out that its not Japanese games like the title implies. Its anime styled games that get the criticism.

No one complains about gwynevere's rocking honkers in Dark Souls

tripleh213 posted...

Can I freely switch party members when I find them?

Yes, you can swap out characters any time you are able to go to camp. Which is pretty easy to do but its not as easy as like a click of a button or anything.

I mean one of things that my whole group of friends is making fun of the game for is how horny it is.

JRPGs though take sexualization to a whole different level and their fans are fucking weirdos too.

Look how crazy this board gets when a character gets imported and they either cover them up a bit or reduce their breast size. I just googled JRPG and one of the first images is a teen looking girl with a short skirt. Nier was a great game but the whole thing had that problem

but i dont think it would be that big of an issue if a lot of the characters weren't drawn with features of children and teens.

Suddenly l felt like I stepped into some bizarro Disney movie set.

i mean i wouldnt want the whole game to be like that but i felt like it fit the character well

Holy shit, the fight against raphael is fucking amazing.

The song, the difficulty, the area it was all just so great. One of the greatest boss battles ive every done in a game.

But they do. And it's a growing trend.

Here's a recent article about this bullshit: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/24/employee-surveillance-is-on-the-rise-that-could-backfire-on-employers.html

And people like Joshua Fluke have been commenting on the trend since at least the pandemic. Here he is last year in a 24-minute video about this kind of software that opens with footage from WP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jox1z-VcVB8

And here's JPMorgan doing it and getting cagier about it over the course of a year.

https://www.businessinsider.com/jpmorgan-chase-employees-describe-fear-mass-workplace-data-surveillance-wadu-2022-5

Even before the pandemic, there were a ton of ways for them to monitor employees. I was in management for a call center and believe me when i tell you they tracked people. I could pretty much see everything if i wanted to. Even the stuff i couldnt see one email to IT and i had everything i needed.

Unless something has proprietary information on it any piece of company equipment can be accessed at any time.

Most people dont care about body counts they care if you can fulfill their needs sexually.

Only insecure men care about how many men a woman has been with. I dont care if a woman's been with 100 men if she can rock my world and is STD free im all there.

I love Spawn but Lance was Zavala :(

its gonna take some getting used to

Katy doesn't like homeless people, not surprising she wants to make other people homeless.

She's one of those fake lib celebrities, she's all about women power, but only for her. She can fuck off.

(Don't think Taylor Swift is any better)

Didnt she sue a bunch of nuns over property too? and sue someone with the same name as her lol

Its his own fucking fault for it too for

1. Shooting her
2. Talking shit about her after she decided not to press charges and blame him
3. Sending her the text apologizing for it.
4. Assaulting someone else while youre being investigated for a shooting.

I love sports. I've been playing or involved in sports my whole life. At one point during college i was close to getting a degree to pursue sports journalism.

but some people just take it too seriously. I'll never understand hurting someone or breaking something because your team lost or won. Like i remember i was at a lakers clippers game. I drove up to LA from san diego wearing my clippers jersey. Some lakers fan kept trying to talk shit and im all for some friendly banter but when I went to talk back i just saw that the dude was 100% ready to fight over it and i hadnt even said anything yet. I just looked at him and walked away.

yeah, "city looks pretty" is my jam

Whoah I had no idea. I'm not really a fan of that kind of stuff in games.

The mission you do changes the landscape of the game going forward and narratively effects the missions you have so it makes sense.

This is the MAGA dream - sweeping arrests of criminalsand anyone who looks like they could be a criminal. Then removing all their rights and sticking them indefinitely in prisons with inhumane conditions. Trump would love the idea of making them grow their own food.

I dont support what they are doing but El Salvadors gang violence is on a whole different level than any thing in america. Gang violence in El Salvador makes Mexican gangs wince.

I know MAGA people will misconstrue what they are doing but its easy to criticize what El Salvador is doing from a distance. It seems like a necessary evil. My ex was from El Salvador and her whole family fled from the country due to it

That's disgusting. Why do people do this?

Its a combination of ignorance, poverty, emotional issues, mental health issues, and home life problems.

I'm glad they got her. I wonder if there's an age limit on Federal Crimes since i believe all hate crime charges are federal
