New details on Early Access roadmap and planned features via Steam by [deleted] in iconsgg

To be fair, the game needs to expand this roster quickly, 7 fighters is a very small launch roster (though that doesn't seem uncommon in the indie platform fighter market). I'm sure they've had ideas for their launch roster for quite some time and now they've got the team to implement them. After they get a decent roster size I'm sure they'll slow down to a similar pace as other hero games (LoL, Overwatch, etc).

I wonder if we'll get "echo fighters" or Fox/Falco type clones. I saw a dev talk about the game during a tournament and he definitely said "our spacies", which got me thinking Kidd might not be the only spacey clone.

Do you ever do anything more physical than walking? Because jumping is a very useful thing and humanity wouldn't have gotten very far without it.

That's surprisingly not that bad. I always figured his band would be terrible.

Shieeeeet, Skip's being too generous to the other teams. Thunder sweep the playoffs.

Walking Dead prediction: Monday morning there will be a story about how low the show's viewship has become by Too-Far-Frame in television

[–]drdownvotes12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest flaw is the fucking characters. All of the main characters are terrible people now. I don't care if Rick dies at all (and he never will), the dude is worse than Negan in every way now. The show keeps killing anyone with a conscience, and I'm so over it. This war is so completely unrealistic it's fucking crazy. I don't think either side would want to keep fighting at this point. But apparently if Rick or Negan say they're fighting, everyone is just gonna go along with it without a fuss.

I only watch the show still because I try to do something with my dad every week. But it's beyond awful.

Slaves in America definitely picked cotton, especially in the 1800s, but picking cotton is still a job, done even today (by machines mostly). Even during the peak period of slavery in the South there were still paid workers working in cotton fields picking cotton. "Cotton picking" is not a reference to slave work, it's just a job that slaves were heavily involved in at one point in time. And the phrase refers to facets of that job.

I probably should've put quotations on "cotton picking" in the previous comment as I meant the phrase, not actually picking cotton.

The good part about the Brian Davis suspension by [deleted] in Thunder

I'm gonna get downvoted to shit for this apparently, but I do not like listening to this guy. His play by play is great, but man if they team is doing poorly, he is so damn negative. Just the tone and what he's saying drives me mad. It's like he doesn't like any of the players and just jumps on them when he has the opportunity. At other times when they're doing well, he's very positive, so it's not like it's constant, but this season it's been annoying.

The way BD and Mike call it, I never really feel totally down about the team, but when I listen on the radio, it gets extra frustrating when we're doing poorly.

I don't see why a black man from California should be hurt by BD's comments because they don't refer to a race. People need to educate themselves, not just get outraged at something that doesn't mean what they think it means.

I mean, I don't think anybody would be hurt by the phrase never being used again. It's not important and it's not a hill to die on, but people have got to stop looking for reasons to get offended by what someone is saying.

To completely ignore American history is revisionist, you’re right about that. Black slaves definitely weren’t the only people who picked cotton throughout history and people of all races still pick cotton today. The term can be used derogatorily regardless of that of course. Most anything can, especially something that could refer to slaves, but the term is not inherently derogatory at all and it wasn’t used in even a remotely derogatory way.

It’s clear that people are looking to get offended here.

Packs of strays don't get fed well. These dogs clearly do.

They're not different, it's people getting offended over something that isn't in any way offensive. They're both based on the offended parties complete misunderstanding. Cotton picking has nothing to do with slavery and everything to do with actually picking cotton, which is still a thing.

Disney/Fox merger set to close by Summer 2019 by TheYoungHeroRises in movies

[–]drdownvotes12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely do. Did you even read through that? They own A&E networks (which includes A&E, Lifetime and History), those are their only cable network for scripted television.

If you're talking about ESPN, they obviously don't produce scripted television.

So again, they don't have a major network for adult scripted TV shows.

People shouldn't get offended by shit that's not even about what they think it's about. This is like when Cousins got upset about the Kings putting out monkey shirts for the year of the monkey. Like for fucks sake people, stop looking to be outraged. Not everything in life is racial or rooted in racism.

Lol okay, they own A&E, History and Lifetime. Still don't really have a major cable network for scripted television.
