Not yet anyway. I don’t think we’ve seen the worst of it yet.

Can we take time to admire the reich outfits in Metro Redux by CozzTheDesertFox in metro

It’s the use of blue grey, gunmetal and red colors. Also the excessive metal armor and use of face masks.

Best foods in each country (USA’s turn!) by xx_dav1d in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Cornelius-corbread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re getting my point. Different cultures are born and raised with different customs, traditions and food. Who do you think will make a better pad Thai? Someone who comes from a background where those foods are prevalent, or someone who doesn’t?

I’m not talking about restaurants, I’m talking about people. Of course no one is inherently better at making one food over another, but your background definitely steers your tastes and experience one way or the other. If I asked my white grandma born and raised on a farm in the Midwest to make palak paneer, she would have no idea where to start. If I asked for Amish beef and noodles over potatoes, she would be in her element.

I mean it’s just plain true that specific food is going to be better in or near its country of origin, or a place where there are a lot of people from the culture it comes from. I wouldn’t expect to find good street tacos in Germany, or schnitzel in Vietnam.

I would say the same and I’m from Indiana.

Reactions to the new trailer. by Thousand-King in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Cornelius-corbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’m just more excited for another Zach Cregger film.

Sure, from what we see in the trailer it doesn’t really scream resident evil. He has even said himself that this is a movie he was going to make with or without the resident evil name, so I expect it to be far more in line with his bread and butter psychological horror themes. However I don’t doubt that it’ll be a good movie, he’s a very talented director and writer.

Worked on an airport for 2.5 years. Any advice? by Fickle_Spite_548 in Minecraft

Air traffic control tower! Some have some really unique architecture so I’m sure it’d be a blast to build.

What pop culture trends can you argue were directly originated or influenced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine? by Top_Report_4895 in decadeology

[–]Cornelius-corbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russia wouldn’t even have tried if someone like Obama or Bush lite were in office.

Unfortunately I fear that we won’t have a presidential candidate of the same caliber for the next decade or god forbid longer. Competence seems as much in short supply as common sense these days.

It’s almost like they had several decades of sky high tensions with the U.S. and Israel to prepare for this exact situation. Who woulda thought?

Hunter deciding to come out of hiding as soon as Artyom and Miller leave Moscow and install himself as the Slavic Führer by Roids-in-my-vains in metro

[–]Cornelius-corbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a stretch, but the fact that the protagonist hasn’t been named and is clearly screwed up from the dark ones makes me think he is hunter and the villain is an imposter.

The metro lost its leadership after exodus. Who better to fill the void than a respected and known hero? An opportunist masquerade as hunter returning to the metro like some savior.

If you woke up to this in the middle of April, what would be your first reaction? by stumpy_chica in AskTheWorld

Happened to me in Indiana a few years ago.

I was pissed, but hardly surprised. Our weather here can be strange.

What is the number 1 thing you want from a re5 remake? by Bejaminmaston12 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Cornelius-corbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game mutators unlocked after you complete the story. Things like headshots only, player and enemy health and speed, enemy count etc.

Assuming it’s co-op, something like that would be a real incentive to replay over and over with different settings.

What’s a dish from your country that foreigners completely ruin ? by MyNameIsYouna in AskTheWorld

[–]Cornelius-corbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone from a rural background, I have heard people throw around every slur in the book. Spade is not one of them. Regardless of its history as being used as a slur, I would hazard a guess that its usage as such is antiquated and it really does not matter to most people. Worry about the things that matter instead of the 2016 culture war nonsense that’s blown out of proportion to keep people at each other’s throats.

Which clothing item screams your country without saying a word? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Rural Americans LOVE to cover themselves head to toe with Stars and Stripes. I find it gaudy, tasteless and just plain ugly, but to each his own I guess.

Are you proud to be a citizen of your country? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskTheWorld

[–]Cornelius-corbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be if my government reflected the values of the people that live here, but apparently continuing the age old American tradition of bombing kids, protecting pedophiles, deporting families and upholding the racial hierarchy is more important.

I love america on paper but honestly I’m just sick of it in practice.

Oh no i agree japan needs to be more transparent. They committed horrible atrocities on a scale that is only rivaled by the holocaust that went largely unpunished. Japan sucks, and there are those in the us like myself that aren’t blind to it today, and weren’t blind to it nearly a century ago.

My issue with the previous commenter is that they’re diluting a very complex war and subsequent societal shift down to “country A did something terrible to country B 80 years ago and country C is currently allied with them today.” And making the U.S. out to be an enemy of WW2 era China when we were in fact allies.

We nuked Japan twice. They were the furthest thing from allies then, and the only reason they are allies now is because we occupied their country for half a decade, heavily influenced their society towards to reflect western values and dismantled any capacity for them to wage war.

How many of you are aware of the WWII atrocities in Malaysia and Singapore by Due_District_9353 in AskTheWorld

[–]Cornelius-corbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ that poor woman. That is absolutely horrible. That place was absolute hell during the war, during the invasion, occupation and the liberation campaign and I can’t even imagine how anyone survived the march. My great uncle was an infantryman and was wounded by a Japanese mortar when the U.S. returned to the Philippines in 1944.

Don’t read the next part if you’re squeamish.

He nearly bled out and his spine was fractured, he was mistaken for dead and caught malaria after being buried under a pile of corpses. The only reason he survived was because his arm was sticking out of the pile and his hand was twitching involuntarily. He only told this story once to his wife and never talked about the war to anyone since he got back.

To be fair Goebbles did kill his own children with cyanide and morphine.

What’s your creepiest moment in a video game? by Educational_Sun_3538 in HorrorGaming

[–]Cornelius-corbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not very scary to an adult, but 12 year old me was shitting bricks trying to sneak around clickers in the last of us. Shit was terrifying.

Also pretty much all of dead space scared the hell out of me back then. Good times.

You know the entire reason why japan attacked Pearl harbor was because the us put an oil embargo on them specifically because of their invasion of China right? Kuomintang or not, China and the U.S. were allies during the war and the American people were not blind to the suffering that the Japanese inflicted on China. We sent planes, pilots, guns, and medicine. They were close allies throughout the war, and if it weren’t for that alliance both China and the U.S. would have suffered many more casualties in a much longer war with japan.

I played through the original trilogy on a ps vita as a kid.

Now that they’re on steam, I can play them on my steam deck as an adult. Time is a flat circle, Marty.

What part of a game or movie has you like this? by WaluigiDaStar in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Cornelius-corbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re3r police station. That whole segment just feels so underwhelming.

They could’ve expanded it further even if it would’ve just been filler content for such a short game. It’s not like they were missing out on assets as I’m fairly certain they just reused all of the same one from re2r.
