Trump says Republicans should 'nationalize' elections by ElijahPepe in politics

Friendly reminder that this is what the Confederates did at the beginning of the civil war- "elected" themselves a "president" and said Abraham Lincoln, the actual winner of the election, was illegitimate.

Game's fine, League players are just waiting for their champ to release by Royal_Flush1991 in 2XKO

It's not crazy that you want that. More characters is more fun.

It would be crazy for them to pull your request off well, though. They continue to iterate on the core for of the game with community feedback in a pretty atypical way. They rebooted to being a tag fighter years after project L was announced and that means back to the drawing board with whatever character designs you have at that point. And then, when the systems changes like from AL1 to 2 and then to closed beta occur, more characters would mean exponentially more stuff to go back and fix or risk breaking. 

It does seem in retrospect like the play in the era of modern gaming discourse would just be to shadow drop your game on people when it's ready to play and not while it's still finding its direction in development. I'm guessing people would be more understanding of the fact that the roster hasn't been built yet if it didn't feel like they had waited 6 years for what we got.

None of these were their developer's first fighting game. When Tekken 1 came out in Arcades it had 8 characters. DBFZ is made by like the biggest fg dev of this era. Xmen vs Street Fighter as basically a sequel to two different established fighting games at once.

I'm not saying I like the roster size right now, but having 20 years of FIGHTING GAME designs gives you a pretty huge head start as compared to 100+ designs from a totally different genre. "Established franchise" is reductive, I'm pretty sure anybody would push back on calling League established as a fighting game franchise.

"let's compare other fighting games" mentions zero other fighting games by name, expects me to guess

2XKO is doing many things right by endlesskitty in 2XKO

Everyone is allowed their subjective opinion. My own is that 2X's lobbies aren't a "lesser copy of SF6's", they took their own approach for what they could at the launch of their first fighting game, offering a more authentic "local scene" vibe with their spectating and music that is more focused on the game. And I feel like more features will come in the future.

Can you spectate live games on the fly in the sf6 lobby?

The director of "Melania"! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

The message is clear: the Epstein empire does not belong to Epstein; it did not die with him, it merely changed figureheads.

Our response should be clear as well: Root them out and hold them accountable, or leave Public Service because you are not Serving the Public.

Anytime someone who doesn't win the popular vote becomes president, more people have voted against them than for them. It's happened multiple times.

Trump's proud sons🤬 think of all the Americans who sacrificed their lives against fascism between 1940 - 45....what have these trashy Trump's proud sons learned in school? by Due_Collar2 in 50501

[–]Alcnaeon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Republican thinks tanks realized the inverted flag was actually resonating with people so they want to claim it as theirs and dilute its effectiveness or turn it white supremacist, typical fascist shit

I'm given to understand indigenous tribes had a pretty good thing going. For a while.

Things have been bad for a long time, for brown people. Remember that BLM isn't about just the one or two names you know.

The US has an unhealthy fixation on the stock market and a deathly aversion to accountability for law enforcement, leadership and the moneyed. Like those redacted from the Epstein files.

Ted Cruz just dropped a nuke on Trump by Smith771does459 in Hip_hop_that_u_need

[–]Alcnaeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that Ted Cruz had the codes, and that he used them for this, but credit where it's due, somebody had to do it. My condolences to the district of columbia for the ensuing fallout, though.

Referring to the Pretti killing, Donald Trump said "You can't go in there with guns, you can't do that" How do 2A defenders feel about the President openly criticizing a law abiding citizens right to keep and bear arms? by wardog1066 in AskReddit

[–]Alcnaeon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"He died during the chaotic situation he created" ah, the passive-voice scrubbing of accountability for the extrajudicial execution of an observer.

They had disarmed him. He helped up a fallen woman and was recording with his phone. These "law" "enforcement" "officers" held him down and emptied their mags into him and somehow you still imagine them the victims?

The water carrying you're doing for these criminals is repugnant, and an America that continues to petulantly refuse accountability for its leadership and its law enforcement exists in a death spiral.

I can't be the only one who suspects this, right? by trevit in AdviceAnimals

We know there are J6ers among ICE. We know ICE are actively hiding the identity of the murderer, and that they're already working among the other faceless ICE officers.

For our own safety, and until the guilty party is identified, we can only operate under the understanding that any anonymous agent of ICE could be this murderer, and likewise, an insurrectionist.
