No, they definitely hated him for the most part. They supported fascists that wear red (Soviet Union, PRC, North Korea, etc.) for the most part. The largest leftist sub-reddits on Reddit tend to be "tankies" which is a dumb term because none of those people support or care about leftism. They don't care about economics or inequality, just if the boots they're licking have the right decor.

We are saying that, according to statistics, only 9 unarmed black people were killed by cops last year (Or 13 if you include some others who have questionable weapons). 48+ cops were killed last year, and I dont know the number, but WAY more than 9 white people were killed by cops last year.

Our argument is, why the protests only when it fits a narrative? Meanwhile, Chicago is breaking records every weekend with black on black crime.

Statistics man, they dont lie, nor follow agendas. Thats the rights argument.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/

You literally made those numbers up.

2019, 235 black people shot by cops out of 1004 total. An increase over the previous year.

Yes it's entirely legal to download a torrent if you initially bought the product. Even an email document of purchase makes it legal. Games and media exist forever in torrents.

I mean you might find it morally justifiable (I don't care one way or the other if someone did or didn't purchase something they play), but I think in most countries that would still be quite illegal.

Once we got out of quarantine no one was wearing them except me. Then I get on my flight to Japan and almost everyone is wearing a mask. I knew the US was fucked about halfway through that quarantine based on how badly the CDC was handling it.

Sometimes a company won't GAF and keep their game listed at full price basically forever on an online store.

Once you get to a certain price difference it really doesn't matter to me.

If I gotta pay 40 bucks for a physical copy but I can get it digitally for 7, better believe I'm going digital.

That's probably the weirdest part about damn near all media in Japan. Physical is almost always cheaper. The only exceptions I can think of is for old and rare things. A brand new game will always be cheaper in physical here.

I downloaded all my games to a harddrive for the Wii, but yes, you can no longer download them and there is no record of your purchases. The Wii U and 3DS are still fine, but not known for how long. This isn't just virtual console though, it's all digital Wii purchases. Of course you could modify your console and do other potentially illegal things like that for older consoles to run digital copies, but the fact that that's the only option is just kind of sad. And as a collector it doesn't really have value to me to say I modified a console to play games. It's basically the same as saying I modded my Pokemon game to have all the Pokemon, there's no satisfaction in it to me.

Good, CHAZ has taken over the narrative of BLM just like the Riots did. BLM isnt about being your own nation, it's about the nation you're currently part of fully accepting you as a citizen.

CHAZ damaged the reputation of BLM and made it about something it isnt. This isn't about "getting fair land" it's about being treated as a human and nothing more. Your actions should be the only indication for prejudice, as an individual.

They wanna do this "We make up 14% of the population, give us 14% of the land" crap, which indicates you and I are different. We're not, but if you wanna lean into it; you're proving thier point and its upsetting/sad.

I really don't think that's what CHAZ was ever about. The vast majority was somehow even whiter than already white Seattle. It never claimed to be an black state or something.

Though I learned my lesson after Nintendo shutdown the Virtual Console and only own physical copies of old games now. I can always resell them for as much or more than I paid and I never knew how long or if digital copies will become available again (though I am always scared about my PS1 CDs being rendered unplayable by the most minor damage). I also enjoy the cases/manuals/inserts most older games have.

alls the other game communities just seem to be white ppl and asians.

Most have barriers that only the upper/middle class can traverse. In America that's predominantly whites and Asians. FGC let poor people compete, you didn't even need a console or a controller to go to the arcade and throw down or play with a group on a shared console. You need a high-end computer for most of those other games and a great internet connection. You also need to qualify for events, but not FGC, anyone can show up and compete. FGC was built around those who didn't have the means to make a gated community and so it never had one.

I lived it. I grew up on the rez. I went to FGC events back in the day and I loved it. White people were a minority and the ones who were there actually understood how to speak and interact within a predominantly black cultural space. And there way gay people, trans people, Asians, Latino, everyone was there. And yeah the language and attitudes were not PC, and some individuals were terrible, but this was largely a place where people could hang out and not have to conform to what white society said is proper behavior. It was real. I loved it. I watched it start to die off the last few years I was in America. And I get what the goal of many of these people is, and it is admirable. Wanting people to feel welcomed, wanting to get rid of discrimination, wanting a safe environment. All of these things are admirable, but the reality is it is largely "wanting to make money off these people by conforming to upper/middle class white morality". It's like the NFL/NBA with white owners and black players. It's the same shit happening in the FGC except the playerbase is getting drowned out now too because of barriers being erected that didn't used to exist. The FGC was the most diverse e-sports community because it was created by diversity, not because some white guys with a degree in public relations told everyone how to speak PC.

I'll keep saying it UltraDavid was a lead gentrifier of the FGC. He saw the money to be made and being literally a rich white male who once said he was scared of getting robbed at FGC events because of all the ethnicity to saying actually I'm a minority and diversity makes us strong. Do you legitimately believe this guy went from a scared rich white kid to diversity king because he suddenly realized he was Jewish? Like that didn't occur to him for decades? And why is it the FGC has become less diverse over time? With more and more minority players forced out as the sponsors and big money comes in? Everything about the current "eSports" thing is about making money, and the easiest way to do that is to appeal to upper/middle class white people. So you need to appeal to their moral values and if that means minorities get primarily thrown under the bus you don't care. For those rich white people it's all about how they feel about themselves, not about the actual results.

Also for people who think I'm overstating it. Where do these white people go to learn proper speech and what you can and can't say and all the other rules? College. One of the most gentrified things in society. And they expect all these minorities who grew up in poverty to just understand all the rules, "educate themselves", etc. It's rarely about actual behavior, and almost always about following the speech codes of upper/middle class white culture.

I think magic is pretty balanced because you have to build toward it. Pyromancy is just anyone can do it so might as well use it.
