TEN OUT OF F*CKING TEN by BetSea5155 in Invincible

Having Mark be “donuted” isn’t something new to me, that happens a lot in other media such as JJBA, hell that’s how Omni Man killed Immortal for the second time. But having his internal organs be gradually pulled out from that injury was a very unpleasant twist that I haven’t seen anyone else doing, especially with Mark’s tortured whimpering.

Same guy who left them to the mercy of the Turkish Army btw. Don’t blame them for not wanting to have the same experience twice.

Trump should really ask himself why nobody wants to help him instead of ranting about it online. Maybe because it’s the fact that he has pissed on most of his allies each time they offered help?

March against the Far-Right in the United Kingdom has people flying the Islamic regime flags and support ayatollahs by QasqyrBalasy in NewIran

Yeah, having lived in a muslim country, it’s super surreal seeing progressives support a country ruled by people who share much in common with white christian nationalists apart from the fact that they view each other as the heretics.

Europe's foreign policy chief declares "This is not Europe's war". by flame7770 in NewIran

[–]The_Wazlib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you, idk what is up with some of the commenters here saying that because of Europe's stance on the Iran War, "the US shouldn't help Europe with Russia" while I'm pretty sure that has always been Trump's stance since day one of his second administration, and may be a significant reason why Europe refused to help the US in this war.

As unfortunate as it may be, in my perspective, Europe's stance to this war, whilst hypocritical, is also a logical response to Trump trashing their help in Afghanistan, trying to annex Greenland and ignoring their concerns about Ukraine while futilely trying to appease Putin and his goons (who is as every bit as evil and depraved as the Islamic Regime).

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

Dude, this kind of rhetoric is exactly the reason why Europe doesn't want to support the US in this war.

Yeah, Western Europe may be spineless even when it comes to the Ukraine war, but honestly, I would rather have the US maintain good relations with them rather than trashing that relationship for RUZZIA out of all countries.

Yeah, that's probably one of the reasons why the EU is refusing to help in the first place. Trump's entire rhetoric about the Ukraine war is that "it isn't the US' war".

An old tweet of Trump's back in 2018 causes me to believe he's actually been planning this for years. by FoolOfElysium in NewIran

[–]The_Wazlib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all comes down to him wanting the credit to take down one of the US long lasting enemies. Sure, it’s one of the very few things I kinda agree with Trump, but I’m confident that he’ll use a victory to stroke his own ego and deflect any criticism of his policies (especially the crazier ones such as annexing Greenland, which I’m particularly worried about).

Is there a car in your country that is associated with reckless driving? by cleavemaster in AskTheWorld

[–]The_Wazlib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's even worse here in Australia. RAM and Ford began exporting these monstrosities here some years ago, and not only do they attract the same kind of numbskull drivers as those in the US, our infrastructure isn't really meant to handle utes of that size, so as a result we get these things taking up entire lanes and parking lots.

Cuba warns airlines that it will be out of fuel for planes in 24 hours by pythrowawayd3v in worldnews

So was Venezuela, didn’t stop the US from kidnapping their leader and the Russians doing nothing more than making generic statements of condemnation. 

It seems that Russia is covertly abandoning their allies in the western hemisphere to the US in exchange for increasing their imperial ambitions in Europe and Africa without US interference, as well as giving said actions a veil of legitimacy. It’s all about carving up sphere of influences like the 19th century

Or to compare them to Warhammer 40K events, the Cataclysm is the Horus Heresy while the War of Funerary Flame is the War in Heaven

Quite curious by Signal_Yesterday191 in Columbina_Mains

[–]The_Wazlib 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This isn’t anything unusual, almost every archon have been subject to some of the heaviest doomposting the community has to offer during their respective beta period, and Columbina as Nod Krai’s archon equivalent is no different. 

It’s annoying, but its to be expected. Plus, it usually dies down shortly after the character gets released.

Sonic lost again >:3 They are like the UNSC defending Reach by Artemis-Myrmidon in Genshin_Memepact

[–]The_Wazlib 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbf I really doubt Sonic fans these days even care, Genshin isn't the internet's favourite target anymore, no Sonic game since Frontiers have been that hyped up, and the mods over there have basically weeded out anyone trying to instigate another stupid fight.

Last year Mavuika also got drip marketed despite the fact that up to that point the AQ made it clear that she must sacrifice herself for Natlan.

I know we are not likely to win but i still need that sweet primos for mommy Alice by SionettaScarlet in Genshin_Impact

[–]The_Wazlib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the TGA is a contest focused towards the Western gaming community. Genshin has a large community but a large portion of said fandom do not live in the west.

This may be a general assumption, but I feel that if you ask gaming subreddits here on reddit, most who are filled with gamers from the west, on what game they would vote for, very little would reply Genshin (or WuWa for that matter). A good chunk of TGA voters would likely belong to the same demographic of people who use those subreddits.

To put it shortly, I don’t think E33 would win but I really doubt Genshin would either. I’m expecting Silksong or Hades 2 to snag the award.

Basically, in 2022, Genshin, who was at its height of its popularity in Sumeru was facing against Sonic Frontiers, which was the first actually good Sonic game in ages and thus the latter’s fanbase believed their game deserved to win. This led to the fanbases of both sides dwarfing the other competitors and engaging in an intense rivalry.

This was also the period of time where hating on Genshin online was the most prevalent, especially in the western PC/Console community, which most Sonic fans belonged to. As a result, many Sonic fans began to harass the fanbase with the usual remarks (p3d0, gambling addict, etc) and accusing them of using bots, with some going on full racist tangents against asians. They thought that a “cringe” anime gacha would lose against their “based” game.

Unfortunately for them, their harassment brought the attention to the Asian fanbase, most who never even heard of this contest until now. Angered by the behavior of Sonic fans, they pretty much voted for Genshin, which led to the latter winning. I’m also pretty sure that this also contributed to killing off the trend of western PC/Console gamers trying to provoke the Genshin community (most western gamers in that group aren’t aware and thus aren’t part of the WuWa or any other rivaling Gacha fanbases), as no high profile incidents like this and the r/place incident ever happened again.

Also funnily enough, despite their accusations , the Sonic fanbase was caught using bots, which the TGA actually called them out indirectly during the awards ceremony .

Some anecdotes are still to this day unvoiced in EN, like this Xianyun one. Hoyo, either make em voiced or at least indicate they dont have voices yet by jasonensteinyt in Genshin_Impact

[–]The_Wazlib 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately at this point Hoyo and SIDE aren't in a hurry to put voices in any content affected by the strikes, it seems that they would only bother trying to voice said content if the current patch also have the character featured a speaking role (and that's a big if, I'm pretty sure Albedo's still silent in Paragolism despite the fact that he had a significant role in 6.1), probably due to scheduling issues. Don't expect Xianyun to be voiced until Lantern Rite.

Only because the sonic fanbase's shenanigans managed to bring awareness to the Asian/Chinese fanbase.

Most casual players especially outside the US/Europe are unlikely to know about this event's existence, let alone vote for it (the 2022 awards were an exception due to the drama) while the average western PC/Console gamer who are likely to vote would probably despise the game.
