They have Cobra Kai colours as well.

WTF. Why is John Kreese from Karate Kid there? >_>

I certainly don't claim to be an expert on these matters. I only claim expertise in a narrow set of topics surrounding neuroscience, statistics, and scientific methodology.

Hard to say, however, that this is just the US stirring the pot when there's clear evidence that Putin has gathered troops at the border and continues to escalate his presence.

And thats certainly a plus. Meaning you can engage with people who don't have an expertise in those departments and they can learn a thing or two.

No matter how complex something is, people tend to have opinions and views on it. I'd like to think its the best way for everyone to learn something from each other.

But then again, this is the internet and I have very little faith in it.

Edit: By internet, I mean social media.

My tune is that nobody should be listening to fucking streamers for their views on complex nongaming related topics lol.

By that logic, why are we listening to anyone here, or even you on that matter?

I'm trying to get into something exactly like this for my first step into the industry. Hopefully I'll get there. Congrats TC!

Is that a real Asian police officer? I went to Japan and actually saw quite a few female police officers there. They looked freaking gorgeous. Thought it was only in the ads or shows >_>

They are really pretty. Better than a lot of the stuff that gets posted here tbh.

No idea. It was always a shithole but nowadays its become extremely authoritarian for some reason? Its freaking weird.

What is it with CE and ages? As long as its above the age of consent why the fuck do you all care lol

Damn, Daemon X Machina, I love the art style. And I can tell its totally an armored core style game lol.

And M.A.S.S. Builder looks freaking beautiful.

Thanks for these guys, gonna put it on the list to buy.

Wait really? Shit I need to check this.

M.A.S.S. Builder

Will check that, thanks!

Actually looks pretty freaking cool, just checked it out on Steam.

MedeaLysistrata posted...

SRW30 is a strategy game that lets you equip parts...

I'll check it out thanks, anymore suggestions? Also I love Strategy games so this is a plus.

Something on the ps4, ps5 or PC.

I loved the Armoured Core series so something with customizable mechanics just like that. Any help?

Lol this just seems petty.

Imagine being so afraid of the response you have to anonymously drop an insult in a guide feedback note.

Yeah what the hell? Don't take the debate outside this topic.

I personally take my shoes off before entering. I hate it when people enter my house with their shoes. I have new clean carpets, and people tend to just walk everywhere with their shoes here.

So Lost Ark releases over 2 years ago on December 4th.

Why is it a problem NOW?

Because America got a hold of it.

Edit: Thats not fair on everyone in America. More like Social politics in America.

Also the worst thing on that topic is the N-word, and that isn't even him lmao.

Edit: "I'm a racist everywhere" Imagine people not being able to detect sarcasm.

Kotaku and Resetera in one thread. Amazing.

Jesus, was looking more into Asmongold and dude seems worse than I thought.

-and-defending-the-use-of-racial-slurs.458604/

He's a bad guy based on his past deeds, so everything he does from there means his views are invalidated. No matter what.

But of course this topic is full of people talking about things they haven't even watched.

If there was even one person here who has watched his videos, I'd probably be happier having a conversation with them, if they had a problem with certain views spoken. At least then I'd know they've actually watched the content they're complaining about.

CyricZ posted...

Honestly if people confirm to me that this statement comes from the streamer's persona and not him personally, then I think of the streamer himself less poorly, but the problem is then less about the streamer and more about the people trying to convince me how direct and intelligent the streamer is through a commentary he's giving as a character, which I would think people would agree with me somewhat muddies the message being sent.

Again, you based your opinion on him playing a character. But if you knew at all what you were talking about, he doesn't see his persona as Asmongold a 'character'. He never has.

His Ideologies on Asmongold and Zackrawr are one in the same.

QueenCarly posted...

If you are white and live in the West, you have been raised with intrinsically racist ideals taught to you constantly. It takes an active acknowledgement of this and intense self-analysis and reflection to start overcoming that.

He has from what I recall railed against ideas such as white privilege. Attacking that idea is based in racist misunderstandings of the concept.

If I wanted to stir the pot I wouldn't have my account still.

This ideology is incredibly flawed.

By this logic, every single society in existence is racist. Its not so much as racism as it is ignorance within a culture and society of other people.

For you to simply call it racism, and then confine it only within the west to one type of people (White people) undermines the problem in such a huge way. This kind of thinking itself does more harm than good.

Simon_Petrikov posted...

If you click the "Watch Full Video" button, he talks about it for at least another 10 minutes on and off during gameplay. Check it out, if you care to.

He's not going to. He already said he can't be bothered to watch anything else or anymore context. But he's for sure going to spend more time arguing with you.

God this topic is either full of trolls or total disgusting human beings.

On one hand we have people claiming Asmongold killed his own mother, or set her on fire. Then have some claiming he's racist based on absolutely nothing. Then we have people linking and defending Kotaku of all sites.

Then we have some who ask for context of someone, refuses to watch anything else, then continues to argue about that said person for hours when he himself admitted he knows next to nothing about that person.

This is CE, and I keep getting dragged into this shit. Count me as one of the complete dipshits.

CyricZ posted...

Hey now you don't need to tell me she specifically said in her dating profile she wasn't.

Spirit, tell us. Tell us all. What do Korean women want?

Exactly my point. What DO they want? How about you ask all the million of girls in Korea what they want.

You won't come up with one answer I assure you, JUST like my post explained.

CyricZ posted...

I mean that's all great but...

Nobody provided any examples.

...Except for a vague "calling out Blizzard" on... something.

The fact that people try to end the argument by claiming something they're not proving is what struck me as familiar to Rogan fans.

We don't need to provide constant examples to people who refuse to even watch context.

If you don't want to, fine go ahead and believe what you want based on half-clipped bullshit. Its your right.

But to keep asking for people to explain it to you, rather than watch it yourself and make your own opinion is kind of half-assed on your end. Again, not everyone has the time or is bothered to explain the whole personality of a person through text.

Montano posted...

I like how anytime anyone talks about how women are treated in gaming people rush to attack the person complaining. How dare women want to be treated better in the industry. My girlfriend always says how embarrassed she is to be a gamer when most armor is just them naked. Women don't like being fanservice. They never have.

Even better you have people who have no idea about anything Korean jumping to claim they know what Korean women want.

Of course there are women who like their characters dressed up. There are also women who like their characters sexy and half naked. Your comment seems to be grouping them in only the former so you're literally doing the same thing.

"They don't like being fanserviced". Nope not true. So many girls have the fantasy of looking good and portray that on their character, just like guys. Your girlfriend isn't the same as all other girls. They aren't a hivemind if you can believe that.

Lastly, look at the differences between FF14 and Lost Ark. FF14 is a Japanese game and focuses more on "cute/kawaii" and chibi characters. These are things girls absolutely adore in Japan and yearn for.

Korea is more based on "sexy, long legged" beauties. Look at their kpop stars. These look almost exactly like the female characters in Lost Ark and probably a lot of Korean girls admire that too.

For you to say women don't like that kind of fanservice is plain wrong.

CyricZ posted...

Because people are telling me I'd like him if I'd watched more of his content. A common thing for people who defend Joe Rogan. That's the comparison.

Do you want me to go into further detail?

This is exactly the same for almost everything in existence. Take something out of context and its bound to look bad. So what do you need to do? Watch more to find the context.

How is that so hard to perceive?

CyricZ posted...

It was more the commentary that I don't watch him enough to understand how great he is.

What if I don't want to? What if I've seen enough?

Honestly this is literally the first I've heard of Asmongold. Not exactly a heavy MMO streamer follower, assuming that is his thing.

So you admit you don't know much about him but already compare him to someone else who is 'supposedly' bad in your opinion too.

HagenEx posted...

Well, Asmongold set his mother on fire.

I don't think Joe has gone that far.

You are disgusting. Seriously, why would you say something like that?

CyricZ posted...

How many episodes of the Asmongold Rogan Experience should I watch?

totally up to you dude.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

He's real and he's more intelligent than he gets credit for. I think his takes are more reasonable and true than Kotaku's any day lmao

The dude is freaking smart. He gets so much shit from people who don't even watch him. Yes he sounds like an asshole in out-of-context clips. But take more than 5 minutes to listen to his reasoning and you'll see him more than just another angry dude.

And I love how Blizzard was throwing him shade over the years when all the skeletons in their closet were exposed in the end.

WingsOfGood posted...

This is actually how women look in south Korea as it us super common to get implants all over the body.

A lot of the girls there probably love how the females look in Lost Ark.

CyricZ posted...

Asmongold sounds like a fellow with opinions on Aloy in HFW.

He isn't. He's never even commented on Aloy as far as I know.

What do you think the world "problem" means?

Why do you ask this?

CyricZ posted...

Article literally says sexy isn't bad. They were hoping for options for wardrobe that weren't just heels and booty shorts.

I know I've read it. But knowing Kotaku they always come out with the dumbest takes. Even the title and some of the sentences towards the end of the article, it seems to be a 'problem' nonetheless to them.

QueenCarly posted...

Shut up

No u

UH OH SEXY IS BAD!

But yeah those animations are kinda dumb. A little less subtle would have been sexier imo.

Also is that first pic legit TC? What the hell?
