Almost every episode with have a couple moments I laugh at. It is silly stupid humor but it is still funny in the moment.

This.

I'll never deny Family Guy has some good episodes and a lot of great jokes/moments

But it has a terrible consistency standard due to relying on pop culture references (not jokes, references) and is really bad at story structure.

Compared to like Simpsons, South Park, Futurama etc it just doesn't hold up

Geez, this topic.

Your balls do not store pee. This is basic biology.

MrMallard posted...

Balls and ovaries are the same thing, they just produce opposite elements of a human life. So girl pee is stored in the ovaries, since functionally they're basically just lady balls

What?

This is just nonsense.

Pee doesn't come from ovaries. Pee is made in your kidneys, then travels down to your bladder where it is stored until you urinate.

Men and women both have kidneys and bladders.

You are entirely at fault if you decide to be a racist. No one can "push" you into it. No one is demanding that you have white guilt or loathe yourself.

This is totally false.

I agree that everyone is responsible for their own actions but you don't think a dude who is raised religious in a racist household, who goes to school/work surrounded by mostly his or her own race and people who are also racist, is naturally more likely to be racist ?

You think it's pure 100% thought and action in a blank state like a game of chess?

There's a reason why racist and religious communities are as insular as humanly possible. They know they can't suvive if they let people talk to open minded intelligent people beause they will realize their faults.

There are people still alive who grew up experiencing segregation.

Money is after tax but if you take it then everytime you have sex it results in pregnancy. Doesn't matter if you use protection or if you believed yourself or her to be infertile. If you're female you get pregnant, if you're male she gets pregnant.

If you have sex with someone already pregnant then they have twins. Do it again and they have triplets and so on etc.

I firmly believer that learning a language should be more about being able to successfully communicate with actual real life people and not get hung up on grammar rules and technical shit.

You would have a ton more Spanish speakers in the US if they taught you practical language skills instead of technical ones. Because you would have students seeing tangible progress more quickly and not losing interest.

How do you measure "practical " language?

Yup.

She informed them that her Visa was going to expire but due to Covid her graduation was pushed back and she's been allowed to stay. The authorities told her to wait, then threw her in a serious prison and treated her like shit for not breaking the law and doing everything right.

Tesfaye responded by saying he could not comment on the specifics of Zhus case but had asked ministry officials to look into what had taken place.

I can say that my general view is that you should leave the country if you dont have the right to be here. That is self-explanatory, he said.

He added that he was very satisfied that authorities can detain people at Ellebk if needed, for example to prevent them from going underground if they are not in the country legally.

If the authorities have the opportunity to make a smaller intervention, they should of course do that, he also said. The minister said he would not intervene in Zhus case personally.

Asked by Hegaard whether he agreed that students with expired visas should not be sent to Ellebk, Tesfaye said that I dont think you can generally say that Ellebk is not meant for students because people who enter Denmark on study visas can stay once their permits have expired.

He noted that the decision to detain a person who is not in Denmark legally is always taken by a judge and said that, as far as he was aware, there had been no administration in breach of the law in the case in question or in other cases. The exchange between the two lawmakers can be viewed via the video link on the Danish parliament's website.

Hegaard told The Local it was important that international students come to Denmark to study and that their presence is beneficial to the country.

He said that people without legal right to stay in Denmark must leave under the law but, given that Zhu is a student and had contacted police herself, her treatment appeared out of proportion.

"You don't call the police if you're going to go underground," he said.

Authorities can use milder measures, such as confiscation of passports, in response to foreign nationals who breach immigration laws.

I dont think the minister gave an entirely good answer, I can understand the minister cant speak about the specific case but I would have liked to hear more about why a student can be put in Ellebk in circumstances like Zhus, Hegaard said in reference to the responses given by Tesfaye in parliament.
Tesfaye was not available for comment on the matter.

In early 2020, the Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) said Ellebk was one of the worst facilities of its kind in Europe.

The centre in north Zealand was censured for poor treatment of residents who have breached immigration rules but are not criminals.

In our view it is unacceptable to keep people in (prison)-like conditions and furthermore with (poor) sanitary conditions and bad hygiene, Hans Wolff, the leader of a delegation which visited Ellebk in April last year, told broadcaster TV2 at the time.

There are a lot of reasons why Denmark is proud of its human rights (record), but when you come to these places and you find such appalling conditions then one might question either the capability of Denmark to do it better or maybe the will of Denmark to do it in such a bad way, he added.

It is not compatible with human rights to keep people under such bad conditions in immigration detention centres, Wolff also said.

Rckle questioned whether her friends treatment was a breach of human rights.

I wonder if Bingzhi is the first international student this has happened to and I doubt that she will be the last. International students from outside the EU are paying tuition fees to study in Denmark, receive no SU [state student grant, ed.] and risk being treated with no regards to their human rights when visa issues occur, she said.

A Chinese international student said she has been left traumatised after she reported herself to Danish authorities due to a visa overstay and was subsequently placed at Ellebk, a detention centre for people without legal right to be in the country.

Bingzhi Zhu, a graduate student of Environment and Development at the University of Copenhagen, was scheduled to finish her studies in August 2020 but faced delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic and ill health so was given permission to hand in her thesis in May this year.

When she realised on December 30th that her study visa was about to expire (on December 31st), she attempted to contact the Danish immigration services Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI).

Under visa rules, she was also required to submit a statement from the University of Copenhagen. Because the authorities were closed for the public holiday, she called the police and was advised to wait.
I tried to contact SIRI through email and phone call but they were on holiday and until today [February 11th, ed.] I still havent received any email from SIRI, Zhu told The Local. She also called the police in early January after her visa expired to report the issue.

On January 5th, police were called to the Absalon Hotel, where she was renting a student room. She was subsequently arrested for overstaying her visa and, ultimately, detained at the controversial Ellebk centre before eventually being deported from Denmark.

In written communication with The Local, Zhu described several instances of harsh treatment and possible discrimination at Ellebk, a detainment facility that was last year slammed in a report by the Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture.

Ellebk houses migrants who are under arrest based on Denmark's immigration laws. After being apprehended by police, she was taken to the Vestre Fngsel prison and later admitted to psychiatric departments at Amager and Bispebjerg hospitals. After a series of interviews with police and psychiatric consultations she was eventually taken to Ellebk on January 29th.

Later, she was placed in an isolation cell without warm clothes and was verbally humiliated, threatened and pushed by staff, according to her account.

Zhu, who says she has no criminal record in Denmark or China, told The Local she has suffered with depression, in part due to the circumstances in which she found herself in Denmark due to the pandemic. But she was not medicated at any time after being detained by police, she said.

Im a 24-year-old graduate student who paid a huge amount of tuition fees in Denmark, but I have now been in prison, a psychiatric centre and at a deportation centre, she said. She called Ellebk a jail and a hell.

Everyone in Denmark should know what happens here. I would rather be in prison or on the psychiatric hospital ward, she said.

In social media posts describing her treatment at Ellebk, Zhu describes several incidences of possible discrimination or humiliating treatment by some of the staff. The Local has been in contact with Zhu to confirm her account of the events.

These include being pushed by staff without provocation; a refusal by staff to use Chinese inmates names, instead referring to them as China 1 and China 2; and isolation without being given warm clothes or a Bible she had requested.

She told The Local that other staff, including medical staff, some female guards and three male guards, were nice.

An image of an information leaflet given to Zhu at Ellebk outlines rules and daily routines for detained persons at the facility. The leaflet is in Danish with a few lines translated in handwritten English.

The Local has contacted the Danish prison service (Kriminalforsorgen) and the University of Copenhagen to request comment. This article will be updated with responses if we receive them. It should be noted that authorities cannot comment on individual cases due to data protection rules.

Annika Rckle, who studied with Zhu on international programmes at the University of Copenhagen, said she was appalled at her classmates treatment by Danish authorities, events she described as traumatic.

It is unacceptable that Denmark operates Ellebk in the first place, and I'm truly shocked that my friend and fellow student was met with such force from the authorities when her thesis was delayed due to the pandemic, she said via email.

Bingzhi is an incredibly fun, energetic and outgoing person. Her bubbly personality and great sense of curiosity means she easily connects with people and finds friends wherever she goes, Rckle said of her fellow student.

I hope that Bingzhi will be able to graduate and I expect the University of Copenhagen to provide every support possible to make that happen, she also said.

Kristian Hegaard, the justice spokesperson and spokesperson for immigration with the Social Liberal (Radikale Venstre) party, last week submitted an official parliamentary question to the immigration minister, Mattias Tesfaye, over the issue.

In the written question, Hegaard asks whether the minister considers it to be fair that a young Chinese student who was only in Denmark to study can end up in Ellebk as a result of an expired visa, a place that has been strongly criticised by the Council of Europes torture committee for prison-like conditions?

How does Exodus compare to the older ones?

Ehhhhhuhueh

It's a mixed bag.

2033 is way better in terms of atmosphere and story. It's the only one that's boarderline a horror game. But it's very linear, the stealth (only added in Redux I think) is shitty and the enviroments are bland and dull (by design. It works for the story and atmosphere)
Last Light is probably the best gameplay wise with stealth options, better enviroments and cool charactes like Pavel. But it lost that atmosphere of 2033. It's also super linear.

Exodus has a terrible and largely nonsensical story, glitchy/buggy/janky gameplay and no atmosphere at all. But on the flipside it's a lot more open. There's more of an exporation focus (at least during certain segments) with a couple of sidequests.

There's some weird stuff too like you can craft at any time and they technically still do the "Gas Mask Filter ticking clock" mechanic but it's so crazily overly generous that it is like Dead Rising 3.

It also has some great touching moments. Just bumming around the train, putting coal into the fire, stroking your wife, having a smoke while people discuss what's on their mind or philosophy is unrionically the best parts of the game and has some really strong writing in it. The characters come across as believable and actual friends to an extent that most video games don't achieve.

So it really depends on what you want from a video game. Exodus pisses all over the plot of the previous 2 games. It's clearly designed 1st and foremost for new players to start with. Weak story/atmosphere and janky unfinished gameplay.

But if you don't care about plot or atmosphere, didn't like the gas mask filter shit, are cool with jank and are fucking sick of corrirdors. It's by far the most open and expansive of the games.

So swings and roundabouts really.

tl;dr:

Plot/Atmosphere - Metro 2033
Gameplay - Last Light
Openness, vareity and easiness - Exodus

Whichever of those things appeals most to you is what game you will prefer

thats why its not a main entry

It was supposed to be.

It was meant to be RE3. That's why it was a direct follow up to RE2.

RE3 was supposed to be a minor spin off game called Resident Evil: Nemesis about Umbrella Corps grunts (presumably Carlos) being chased through the city by Nemesis.

But Sony threw a fit due to Capcom promising them that main RE titles would be Sony exclusives, so in development they turned Nemesis into RE3, put Jill in it to make it more important and turned RE3 into Code Veronica.

It had WAY more budget and development time than RE3.

Replaying it and it's just so damn dated and full of bad design

No difficulty settings so game is just piss easy
No alternate character route to give replay value
Steve is a terrible character
Voice acting is bad but not funny bad like RE1. Just competent enough to be utterly bland and boring. Both the Voice Acting itself and the dialogue.
Backtracking done wrong, long stretches of running back and forth across the same rooms/corridors for no reason beyond padding. Very few short-cuts or clever alterations.
Loading screen/transition every 4th step
Horrible tank controls
Clunky inventory where you have to keep opening it up to use items or switch weapons
No more beautiful backdrops
Reuse of Wesker
And how could I forget, the plot was "Claire is looking for Chris." then she casually sends Leon an E-mail telling to go tell Chris what happened.....

And let's not even touch on the woke politics where Steve and Claire walk past hundreds of corpses, zombies, literal torture chambers where blood was everywhere, guys with their guts hanging out etc but then are horrified and deeply disturbed/freaked out by a crossdresser.

People give RE3 shit but at least it tried something new. The dodge mechanic and the "Make a choice!" moments.

Code Veronica just feels like paint by numbers. Sure the graphics are better than the PS1 but for Resident Evil who cares? RE1/2/3 still look fucking great. There's an art style going on.

Can't believe it got such rave reviews back in the day.
