A vital program that several states are pulling people out of, sometimes without even telling them!

Welcome to your weekly Depression Watch.

Also talking produce.

Pretty fun episode although took me a while to get onboard with Charles being rescued by space birds. Felt for the first time like I needed to watch the original series again

It was literally one of the last things to happen in the old series. The world believes Xavier is dead but they were very particular to note that he was taken off-planet by the Shi'ar to be healed.

Still that episode very much treated the whole affair as if he was dying for realsies.

Honestly I suggest watching like a half-hour recap of the series on YT. You'll get the salient points.

This is the one I watched:

I love how no matter the circumstances, Charles never misses a beat to be a pretentious asshole. XD

I mean, at least it's being aimed at worse assholes.

Also YES @ Storm's classic black.

Mostly these days it's just picking up streams if they coincide with downtime, otherwise I'm catching up via clips.

My favorites from Hololive are Ina, Gura, Korone, Fauna, and Bae.

That said if someone's playing Yakuza, I'm there.

They ruled that Title IX offers protections for transgender people, and that laws that implement bans preventing trans students from participating in sports of their gender is unconstiutional.

Good news.

While I don't think you should pull your guides because of all this...it does have me wondering if you have a backup plan in case there is ever a need to do so or if the site simply ceases to exist. Would be sad to see all those years of hard work go down the drain.

Yes I have a backup plan.

Weird topic is weird.

The simple fact of the matter is that Rowling doesn't nearly have as many fans as she did twenty or even ten years ago, and being Queen TERF is making her *lose* fans readily. The only people she's gained in the last few years are right-wingers eager to leverage her celebrity status to push their narrative.

Yeah buddy this one's LONG. I suggest 30 min chunks of watching.

So this isn't a look at games that are scams or trying to take advantage of people to drum up hype. This is literally just content made to look like a video game, and doing so well that people might believe the games were real.

It's about artists and other creators just putting up concepts in their own art, and weaving together narratives that suggest that somewhere, in some alternate timeline, this was a game one could play.

Beware, because the latter half gets pretty creepy.

For example, one of the projects Eyepatch Wolf talks about is Vermis, a game guide for a game that doesn't exist: https://hollow-press.net/products/vermis-i

JKR telling someone "why didn't you check a source for this" about the Nazis destroying the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin, the world's first sexology institute which documented transgender people and similar matters. Something really easy to Google about.

Yeah this was the start of it. Then when called out on it, she doubled down and was like "well actually'd" the whole thing.

It would have been one thing if she admitted the mistake, which was clearly based on the idea of denying the trans person she was replying to, but to continue on that line just to prove she isn't wrong is... well it's the classic Internet troll level at this point.

She's back to trending because a Jewish reporter yesterday posted on Twitter how they "retract their statement that Rowling is a Holocaust denier", which is pretty clear language to suggest that her legal team threatened libel.

Sooooo it's mega-trending that JK Rowling is a Holocaust denier. Mostly by people who aren't in the UK and not subject to their dumb libel laws.

Yes ^_^

you think they will get rid of it soon?

There's no reason to get rid of it. This is a "let it die slowly" move. Just like in the case of LUE.

I'm not at that point. Yet.

I want to be careful. I want to not just be reactionary. I want to not be petty.

This is work I'm proud of. I don't want to end that through pettiness.

Also.

It's my one card to play.

Oooo now I'm invested.

But why

Wonder if we should start charging admission. o_O

Honestly this all feels like a measure to appease some level of corporate rather than something that will actually have a major effect on the site.

I don't... really see *new* people coming to CE at all these days. The vast majority of us are old hands of at least five years, and over ten years is still a majority.

The only thing is that if people who dropped off the face of the site for years decided they want to come back, they'll find they can't. Happened with a few people in the last few months.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Fair.

EDIT: It's just funny because I check Reddit for my username every so often and just now, like an hour ago, stumbled across him and his little "plan to get CE shut down".

Eh, whatever. It'll be interesting to see "and then what" hit him.

Tails gonna be insufferable.

Come on and slam.

Ichiban is the sweetest boy I'm love him

The Republican Party is a hate group.

Majima in 1 was so weird. He appeared three times.

1. The first meeting in the alley behind Serena in the prologue.
2. He kidnaps Haruka and Kiryu fights him in the batting cages.
3. He drives the truck into Shangri-La.

And every time he exited the story just as suddenly as he entered. Like he didn't get other scenes where he was talking to other characters besides Kiryu. No one ever really talks about him unless he's present in the story at that moment.

There's a case to be made in 1 that Majima is a figment of Kiryu's imagination.

You do streaming? Like Jerma985?

I should just buy this game and play it.

But I still gotta finish this dang guide.

I feel Kiwami 1's biggest failure was that it committed too hard in replicating the original work.

Because the original RGG1 was a very different game from what the series ended up becoming by the time of 0.

So instead we have the early RGG1 weirdness, with Kiwami 1's added content in a tonal dissonance.

That said, going from 0 to 1 is the harder pill to swallow than going from 0 to K1.

Hey if y'all wanna be in "The CyricZ Group" drop me a PM and I'll let you into the Discord lol.

(It's a Discord for my streaming audience)

Given who the TERFs have been palling around with lately, I say we should keep the acronym itself as it is, but change the word that the "F" stands for so that it's instead a certain other F-word that ends in "-ist".

No complaints there.

Also I just noticed "The CyricZ Group" lol please don't put me on a pedestal.

They're bigots. That's the bottom line. TERF is just fewer keystrokes.

It seems to be pretty well understood that the "F" in TERF is just as indicative as the "socialist" in "nationalist socialist". If there was confusion among feminists, there would be more standing for rebranding, but right now, it's all pretty cut and dry.

They call it a "space station", which is honestly a bit of a misnomer because that'd imply it'd be "stationary", which it is not. That said it's all contextual based on the vessel's function, when you think about it. It's not really meant to ferry people from one place to another. It's meant to just be self-sufficient, which is what you tend to think of when you think of space stations.

Starlight Beacon from the High Republic era is also referred to as a space station, despite it being able to travel via hyperspace.

As I recall the Death Star's engines are quite small given the vessel's size. It mostly relies on traveling through hyperspace and using the gravitational pull of other celestial bodies (ie. entering orbit). Considering it doesn't have to get close to its target, I guess that makes sense.

They're the gold standard for scientific research because just knowing what treatment you're getting can influence the results. :v

The problem arises when using double blind would be medically unethical. This is one of those cases.

Outside of the US I get access to the entire show via Youtube and he had a segment about this guy from Azerbaijan who does a ton of stock photos, it was great

It's a shame that's not on American YT because that segment was fucking fire.

This one's a banger.

Abolish the death penalty.

EDIT: Yes, this is the third time LWT has covered the topic. The focus of this edition is basically an update on the means of execution from the second time. Specifically, there's a deeper dive into the use of phenobarbital, and who makes the chemicals.
