Really makes you think we live in a society

I don't know what's more pathetic - getting emotional over a medium of entertainment primarily meant for children and teenagers, or getting so upset over such phenomenon that you need to track people down and sift through their social media to find instances of them saying foolish things.

Now this is centrism

In my head I imagine all these people to be skinny white teenagers wearing hoodies and caps and drink mountain dew.

Meh these guys don't even seem mad. Just pointing stuff out.

I mean I love FFX but I could spend like 2 hours nitpicking it

like that part where Yuna teleports from in front of Seymour and his guards to behind them just for drama purposes

It really isn't. I lean mostly left on nearly everything, but the way politics in the games industry is being handled is embarrassing. At its core, you have two groups of people, both ashamed of their hobby of choice but for different reasons.

The Battlefield V debacle was embarrassing, looking back.

Anyway, I'm old enough to blame all this on young people now, so that's what I'm going to do.

Young people.

UGH.

What the fuck is Battlefield V?

Young people.

I bet its one of them newfangled 3D games.

During the American led coalition offensive in the Persian Gulf War, American, Canadian, British and French aircraft and ground forces attacked retreating Iraqi military personnel attempting to leave Kuwait on the night of February 2627, 1991, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of vehicles and the deaths of many of their occupants. Between 1,400 and 2,000 vehicles were hit or abandoned on the main Highway 80 north of Al Jahra.

Why is this a "US war crime" ?
