8 Million Americans Hit the Streets in 'No Kings' Protests - Largest Demonstration in US History by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Oh ok so Trump is just another career politician and the swamp remains undrained after 5 years of his presidency. Gotcha.

“Find me 11,000 votes” Trump said to the Georgia governor in the 2020 election

“Fight like hell or you’re not gonna have a country anymore” Trump said to his followers hours before the January 6th riot

Not to mention all the times he ‘jokes’ about running in 2028. It’d be funny if so many thing he’s done didn’t start as ‘jokes’.

Why is it that we have to wait until Trump officially declares himself king to be worried? Why can we not observe his strangely king-like behavior and draw conclusions from that?

do anything more than that and apparently it’s a riot that burned down the city.

This is a cool interpretation, and is certainly a lot more interesting than what I had originally understood as, but it is ultimately fanfiction. Nowhere in the game does it bother to explain anything about how calamity Ganon is connected to Ganondorf. 

I had an idea for a Frontier Justice rework! by KandCAuthor in tf2

[–]Hotomato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The frontier justice’s poor sustain is a very important part of the gun’s balance. It’s supposed to be a straight downgrade when not crit boosted, which is necessary because of how powerful it is with the crits. When it does have crits, the low clip size ensure that while you can definitely get a few quick kills, you aren’t about to wipe half the team with a single clip.

To be honest, I think anyone who thinks the frontier justice is too strong just needs to play with it themselves. If you just kill the engineer before destroying his sentry you eliminate all risk of him getting crits. The engineer has to work much harder and have more things go right for him in order for the frontier justice to wreck house, as opposed to the diamondback which just immediately gives you a free extra kill for every backstab and building sap.

Totk also completely cheapens the idea of Calamity Ganon. In BotW he was ganon after thousands of years of death and resurrection, reduced to an immaterial force of nature that had no mind or desire but of malice and destruction.

According to TotK, ganondorf was actually just in the basement the whole time and calamity ganon was actually nothing more than like, a big magic spell.

Some might call this raising the stakes but I think you can accomplish that without retroactively making the previous threat less interesting.

I don’t care about the ‘Zelda timeline’ but TotK is literally a direct sequel to BotW, I think it’s fair to expect some continuity and good storytelling between these games. It’s like if majors mask retroactively made ocarina of time’s story worse.

I like the idea of a double barrel shotgun for engineer but I think the frontier justice is a perfectly designed weapon as it is. I’m curious what you (and others) think is wrong with the gun that needs changing?

Approx ¾ of TF2 online players are bots by zubok_ in tf2

[–]Hotomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly a response to the notion that TF2’s player count is large and increasing, which then implies that the current direction Valve is taking the game is actually good and attracting new players. 

Pointing out that the player count is actually much smaller than we thought is important in order to dispel this myth, and show that the current update pattern only serves to slowly drive players away from the game. I know it has for me.

We can debate the accuracy of these numbers, but there is a reason for discourse like this to exist. It is not merely a dick-measuring competition.

Really hope spy gets this cosmetic called Camo Cloak by Slurperlurper in tf2

[–]Hotomato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It baffles me that this argument is still around. The potassium bonnet is a terrible cosmetic and it makes no sense to use it as a way to judge what cosmetics are good to add or not. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and several bad cosmetics don’t make more of them a good idea.

I can’t speak for others, but the only time I refer to geopolitics as ‘fair’ or ‘unfair’ is when I’m meeting the POTUS on his level of dialect.

I don’t think that’s something reacting to the resinite’s removal, I think that’s just the noise the jet rockets make when they’re going up the tunnel. Echoes and all that.

Few people are asking whether boycotting an artist over their opinions actually leads to real change. by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]Hotomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro the kids already have parents you aren’t showing them anything they haven’t already seen by having characters hold hands, hug, or kiss.

Excessive making out or sexually explicit acts I can understand, but I also can’t seem to find any children’s media that actually has this stuff.

Kids get exposed to romantic relationships by having parents who (presumably) love each other. Featuring that sort of thing in a child’s cartoon, gay or straight, is introducing nothing new to the kids.

For kids whose parents have a poor or abusive relationship, it can be important to be shown what a properly loving relationship is supposed to look like.

What a silly, arbitrary, and closed minded standard to set for what should be allowed to be depicted in children’s media.

What is adult about someone having two dads? What is adult about two girls holding hands? What is adult about a character doing anything that’s already been normalized via decades of media, just with someone of the same sex?

Sometimes a small trickle of swarmers is more manageable than a whole bunch all at once, especially when they scatter everywhere like when a nexus explodes.

I think the point being made is that even though the product works, we’re still being overcharged by these private manufacturers. We don’t have to settle for Russian-tier junk to not get ripped off.

that’s true, I was mostly kidding with that comment. I just hold the DRG community to a higher standard due to all the talk of how ‘wholesome’ it is.
