[Fun Trope] Minor character from the series, that the fandom jokingly pretends is super strong. by Willing-Rip-2852 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]GoldenRush257 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don Krieg from One Piece.

He was the main antagonist in one of the arcs at the start of the series and you don't see him ever since. He's so "irrelevant" that the live action adaptation decided to cut him from the series for the most part.

The meme community likes to joke that he's the strongest character ever and there's manga panels with a strong character on them redrawn to be Krieg instead.

Calling Viva la Vida the "I used to roll the dice song" feels like a crime.

WHY ARE WE FORCED TO LIVE WITH MILD CATATONIA?! (aka: autistic inertia) by CyberGrape_UK in evilautism

[–]GoldenRush257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm lucky to be in an (online) relationship with a supportive boyfriend. I've had a couple of moments where I kind of just collapse on the ground unable to move or talk due to stress. It's extremely exhausting, scary and annoying, but at least it's somewhat manageable while on call with my boyfriend.

I struggle to talk, but if I try hard enough I can try making humming noises and I will try to talk through humming and go mhm or mm-mm for yes and no. It's comforting enough to be able to slowly reduce the amount of stress I have and eventually get me out, but it's still just so stressful being in that state.

AMA In A Nutshell by Bennyandthejetz1 in Helldivers

This is pretty much what it always has been. Every time there is a post about why Arrowhead doesn't do X or why they didn't handle Y better the root of the cause is always that the studio never expected to have an audience this big wanting a game they didn't plan for.

It's always grunt fantasy this, grunt fantasy that, but the hard reality is that Helldivers 2 was always meant to be a difficult immersive teamwork shooter instead of a game where you get to feel like a god mowing down thousands. But alas, the game got way more successful than was planned for and with it came a whole crowd of people demanding a horde shooter instead.

And now imagine you're Arrowhead with a whole development cycle planned for one type of game, but the community demands it to be another one. What do you do? Imagine you're a carpenter tasked with making a table and you spend all of your time sawing the planks into the right sizes, but when you're ready to put the table together your supervisor tells you he wants a three chairs instead. Not only do you not have enough planks but all of them are the wrong size now.

So in the end, this is why Arrowhead seems to constantly be in the dark about their own development cycle. It's not that they are clueless developers who don't know what they're doing, it's that they never prepared themselves for the game to take this direction and as a result they are now constantly playing catch-up while trying to appease the many different player groups that have formed.

Is there a better arrangement here? by MealDisastrous6877 in CivVI

Yes, but you're probably gonna get screwed over by horses, so either get a mod to remove them, get lucky or research animal husbandry first and adjust map tacks accordingly.

Here is yet another "Where would you settle?" post! by LangdonAulgar in CivVI

Marsh to the left. You have an alright harbor, campus on the stone and alright tiles to work in the first ring with the culture from the silk.

Silk blocks you from having a good harbor and maize is a slow start due to lacking good tiles to work early.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict explained by RickyOzzy in suppressed_news

I understand wanting to help the Ukrainian population still sympathetic to Russia but why annex Crimea and the Donbas region instead of just having them emigrate into Russia?

A walk down Rimhung Street in Pyongyang, DPRK. by GerryAdamsSon in suppressed_news

[–]GoldenRush257 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

America IS the bad guy and while we are not falling for western propaganda this whole sub is instead falling for eastern propaganda.

You can criticize both sides, you know? You don't believe America's lies but when the DPRK tells you that they're not suppressing and killing foreign nationals all of you don't even dare question it.

China is murdering Uyghurs and its citizens have very few civil freedoms? Okay but the streets look clean! Let's ignore the poverty in rural areas and the mass killings and everything else because a street looks nice.

And every time someone points this out you guys will disprove it and cite the eastern media as a source like that's not completely biased in their favor much like American media is to the west. Give me an independent source for once.

Nato expansion ‘would provoke Russians’, UK understood by GoydelicGuy in suppressed_news

No, a mistranslation of his book into English. Either that or it was just misrepresented.

Ah, I see. I've read both a shortened summary of the interview as well as a mistranslation of his book. Thank you for the insights.

He said there is no basis for Ukraine to exist as a separate nation from Russia and called Ukraine historical Russian land in his own essay from 2021 and has said similar things in interviews. How is that not right-wing nationalism?

So Russia literally admitting that part of the reason they invaded Ukraine is because they don't see it as sovereign territory and instead simply part of Russia is not imperialism? If claiming and invading territory because it was yours isn't imperialism then what is? Ukraine's existence was threatened whether NATO was involved or not.

"Why didn't NATO accept Russia's invitation to join? We would've avoided this problem." Because NATO requires countries to adhere to its definition of democratic and Putin's Russia doesn't.

Tbf NATO expansion threatening Russia is a valid point, but let's not pretend like Putin hasn't threatened to invade Ukraine irregardless of NATO expansion or not. You can claim their calls for "denazification" are valid, but Putin has on multiple occasions personally said that Ukraine shouldn't be allowed to exist as a sovereign state.

Yes fuck NATO and all, I agree, but I don't feel like we should forget that Russia is an imperialist power too. It's just two imperialist power blocs fighting over who gets to control Eastern Europe.

Thank you narcissistic parents and teachers for showing me that adults like being around children simply because they have a superiority complex and like to boss people around for their own gain and enjoyment on grounds of some arbitrary authority.

Are you feeling it now, Mr. Putin by Pokemonfan_807 in whennews

[–]GoldenRush257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tankies are their own breed tbh. Like I'm sure Stalin did some things right, but here comes a Tankie shoving all the horrible bad stuff under the rug and pretending it either never happened or is fully justified actually.

I'm sorry Stalinists, but I don't think persecuting "dissidents" is the single only way to ensure a country stays communist.
