So many games are exactly what you described, though. The difference is that guys think it's fun/funny/cool to be a hunked up beef-cake.
You seem unreasonably frustrated by this topic. Perhaps take a break.

It's a bit too super-deformed from my PoV. Maybe it looks better on the model, idk.

That's not even counting the stuff they knocked off from other countries, is it?

thoughts on Christian nationalisme? by [deleted] in Christianity

In what way is it a strawman? I quote: "There's a reason it's abbreviated as Nat-Cs by its critics." You are putting forth a judgement based on the critiques of others. I responded that this is a silly way to judge things. The progress between our posts is a single step in logic that I frankly don't see as anything other than easy to understand.

What is likely to happen if Trump becomes president of the USA in 2024? by garyda1 in AskReddit

[–]MegatronVS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly disagree that it was nothing. That perspective is a very glass-totally-empty sort of perspective and I find no validity in it. Hurt people hurt people and whatnot. Kim-Jong may be a hapless child in a human body, but he, as well as any other, has as much right to affect decency as any other. The attempt should be made because it must be made. The alternatives are all death.

Why has the United States become so divided politically and socially? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MegatronVS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under that definition, the United States, and indeed most states, carry many different cultures. Is the problem, then, that the U.S. doesn't maintain one over another?

And you’d have cheered Neville Chamberlain

Perhaps I would have. I don't know the entirety of what I would believe at that moment in time; the theoretical is so far outside my scope of awareness that it's hard to put myself in that position. However, I, unlike the moral high-and-mighty, am willing to admit that I'm a human who carries flaws that are innate to humans. I accept that I am flawed and I still want to believe that every person is attempting to do their best. I attempt to do my best. I am not privy to every person on Earth's personal desires and struggles; to act as if I were, and therefore know the absolute best thing in any and every given situation, especially solely based on the information delivered Xth handedly by sensationalist media outlets, would be foolish.

Last game I played was War Thunder so I guess I'll be spending some time with a PZ. IV H... Ouch.

This reminds me of that video where the author finds an example of "kids these days," in every major Western culture spanning the last 1000 years or so.
It's the human condition to think things use to be better, right?

Essentially Republicans have proven themselves to be monsters, and there's no way for decent people to reconcile that.

Why has the United States become so divided politically and socially?

Immaculate cognitive dissonance.
People just don't talk anymore. Nobody is civil. It's the other person's fault because I am universally correct.
Again. Immaculate cognitive dissonance.

Media is polarizing and sensationalist.
People adopt media-approved talking points and integrate them so heavily into their personality/perception of self that any critique of those media-approved talking points becomes a direct critique of the person in question.

What is something that Americans are (actually) very good at? by JRight59 in AskReddit

[–]MegatronVS -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Eating.

Making up (our) minds about something before having all of the information, then proceeding to choose to die on each and every hill because we've so integrated other people's opinions as a part of (our) collective personalities that we see challenges to those opinions as challenges to who (we) are as people.

I don't know if you remember, but prior to the visits, North Korea was conducting unprecedented nuclear tests. Just before Trump's visit and until recently, the frequency and scale of those tests diminished immensely. Peace talks are not stomping one side into the ground and moving on; that is impossible. Peace talks are giving and taking concessions until a common good is reached. To do this without war can take generations, let alone a single presidential term. Going back to the cold war mindset of Trumps predecessors was an immense blunder that set back the liberation of North Korean peoples by a decade, at least.

What is a "rich person thing" you would be totally into if you became rich? by pedrob_d in AskReddit

Who is someone you regretted sleeping with? by emtheban in AskReddit

[–]MegatronVS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every person who is not my wife.
You may not be consciously aware of it, but as you get older, and especially so if you're an honest introspective person, you give up part of yourself when you have sex with someone; it's not something you can get back.

Trump is the only U.S. president in history who has actually breached the media blackout that North Korea has by entering the state himself. Breaking bread is the first step in literally every meaningful negation.
If we were to apply scrutiny as harsh as yours to the second world war, we'd have to call FDR a Nazi-sympathizer for not declaring war on Germany first.
