@MischievousTomato people always tell me to get AMD stuff, and I know intel/Nvidia have their own problems, but man I'm always reading stuff about amd just underperforming or having strange issues. Emulation in particular is pretty bad and always had been.

@LukeAlmighty to think that this game is what made my roommate by a ps5

He didn't like it at all lol

@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior or sectum sempra, that one is fucked up. I love it.

@LukeAlmighty I saw someone yesterday who was worried that Tron Legacy was going to give their children nightmares because it was the first PG movie they had ever watched.

@pagat yeesh that sucks

Man do I hate it when people think that fiction MUST correlate to reality! The orcs = black people is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are apparently people who think that because Hylians are inspired by medieval Europeans and Gerudo are inspired by Islamic Middle Easterners, they MUST have had holy wars at some point.

Like come on... They're inspired by the aesthetics and culture of those places and people, but that's pretty much where the similarities end. Pretty sure people in the Middle East weren't almost exclusively female and required white men to get them pregnant for their race to continue.

It reminds me of people thinking that Hideki Anno was putting in all of this Christian symbolism into Evangelion but in the end he just thought it looked cool.

It's totally fine to take inspiration from history and even include a lot of the same symbols if you want, but that doesn't mean anything you make is then subject to everything that where your inspiration came from is. I have a Medieval Catholic inspired group of people in my game but they came from very magical origins and have a lot to hide regarding that. I have Japanese inspired people, but they still have a lot of European aesthetics in their architecture and clothing and their religion is closer to that of the Greek Pantheon. Both of them have rituals and other beliefs as well as general cultures that can be quite similar and quite different to what inspired them. I've got other races that are inspired by isolated tribes, Egyptians, Nords, and Elves too but they are still all unique in their own ways and do to say they because history happened one way in the real world means it must have happened there too is so off base it's ridiculous.

@Ghislaine interesting, now it seems the environmentalists using their own mugs at the local coffee joint were one step ahead of the game this time.

@Shadowman311 why does that look so familiar

@LukeAlmighty it's a tough question. Prison has benefits but it has a lot of negatives too. It's a preferable system to execution or heavy fines. Community service should be enough for people committing petty crimes. If I had to change prison, perhaps make sentences shorter but make it a much more shitty place to be. Hearing from my friends who have worked at prisons, the inmates are treated super well. So well that my roommate actually couldn't stand it. He just felt like a babysitter. Then of course it's not like the violent criminals actually change in prison, they just join gangs on the inside.

It depends on the crime what punishment should be and I think we need a pretty good amount of reform there. Parole, mandatory therapy, and things like rehab/halfway homes should be utilized more often for things like illicit drugs and crimes related to mental illness. Petty crimes should be punished with community service. Theft should entail community service as well as either returning the items or paying for them if they cannot be returned. Some things like smoking weed should just be decriminalized entirely.

For violent crime and other serious crimes, prison should be used in addition to the above. But prison should be treated a bit more like a school, having a full day of "classes" with your block for different things and meals scheduled at times different from other blocks. I think it's important to keep the prison blocks as separate as possible to prevent larger gangs from forming and such. Maybe even decrease the size of the blocks to only a couple hundred inmates or so.

@Mr_NutterButter trannies started blatantly grooming kids instead of secretly
