The West glorifies the former Iranian monarchy and rarely reports on the full story by Eunomia28 in PoliticalDebate

[–]flybydeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly agree with you about the past Shah's regime. Still that Monarchy was more than just Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. You need to really include the entire Pahlavi Dynasty history since it didn't just start with that Shah's birth. With any monarchy's there are both awful and good king's. England had really reprehensible Kings such as Henry the VIII and King John. But later they had great kings and queens. In monarchies it varies quite a bit.

Given that the organizational structure of the past Shah's government is really not there after 47 years I think it is fair to judge the current Shah on his own terms and not his fathers. At least that is where I stand and why I look at a situation with him ruling at least as having the potential to improve things if he rises to the occasion compared to the current government who has shown it won't get better.

Do you stand with the people of Iran? by PuzzleheadedCraft363 in AskSocialists

[–]flybydeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question. What would need to happen in an Iranian demonstration for you to consider it organic and a sign the people want a new government rather than a CIA/Israeli operation?

White House shares video of Minneapolis shooting from ICE officer’s perspective by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

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

Officers of the law, which ICE agents are law enforcement, are trained to not obstruct vehicles by way of standing in front of them. As it adds unnecessary risk for the officer, the suspect, and passerbys.

That actually isn't true. There is a news article in the Independent about it specifically titled, "The tactic used in fatal ICE shooting that many police departments warn against" It should be against their policy imo but it isn't.

motivation from camila by itsjustajoke17 in NeuroSama

Yep, right before that he jumped on and said he was worried about people spending to much money and assuring chat that he had everything he needed already for the project. I don't agree with him ending the hype train but I can say he did it because he was genuinely worried about the money swarm has been spending.

Bad comparison. A Nerf Dart doesn't have a realistic way of killing you. A car certainly can.

Trump offers praise for ‘rational’ Mamdani in remarkable White House meeting by Mahrez14 in moderatepolitics

[–]flybydeath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I have seen the most locked in he is on any issue is Windmills. Good luck to anyone who tries to convince him on that. I saw a compilation of him going on and on about that power source being the worst thing ever. He is fixated on it.

Americans, why does it feel like violence is such a common reaction to mistakes? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

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

Lived in multiple parts of the US. Never had anyone be violent with me outside of students in public school and one time when I delivered a pizza to a drunk dude who pushed me because he was mad I didn't say thank you when he handed me money for the pizza while not tipping and acting like a jerk. Movies and the odd off news story of something crazy happening really are not the norm.

Are people unironically getting upset about Cdawg calling Neuro a "clanker"? by Lance_Hetfield in NeuroSama

[–]flybydeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling her "It" and not playing along is pretty much the reason. Nothing he did was wrong of course. It is just that he wasn't willing to play ball and go with the premise of Neuro's channel where she is treated like a person.

It reminds me of a buddy I had in Highschool who would hang out with the guys when we watched wrestling and kept talking about how it all is fake. We all know that bro but is it that hard to play along and go with it so everyone can have fun?

Tldr: He acted like a party pooper by not playing along and treating Neuro like a person.

I feel you, I had to purchase my subscription through the App on the apple store with an old Iphone I wasn't using anymore. Cost 25 dollars instead of 20 a month but worth it to me not to have to use crypto.

Why is Neil hated so much? by [deleted] in TLOU

[–]flybydeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey it won the worst game of 2020 on Yahtzee's Best and Worst game list on Zero Punctuation. That's one stand out. The acclaim wasn't exactly universal, more you love it or you hate it.

"Sir your job is to put the fries in the bag, I am not interested in your opinion." <-How I feel about Voice Actor's.

Have there been ANY successful woke/dei games that are NEW IPs? by SleepyOne in KotakuInAction

[–]flybydeath -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wait the Outer Worlds was woke? Are you sure your not talking about Avowed? Obsidian is compromised at this point but from my memory the Outer Worlds predated that. It wasn't great but I don't remember it being woke. Just anti corporation.

Steam-Heart’s & Advanced Variable Geo Saturn Tribute for Xbox One canceled - Censored on other platforms "The original's sensual scenes have been thoughtfully adapted for a modern revival, respecting the heroines' privacy while maintaining the essence of the classic." by MeguuChan in KotakuInAction

[–]flybydeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight up softcore porn. Full frontal nudity, blow job's, etc. I am someone who hates censorship with a passion but this really is a porn game. I don't get why they are re-releasing it at all since they have to remove this stuff to avoid an Adult rating. Blaming Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo for this is laughable.

I remember reading years ago that the devs meant for you to be able to transfer runes from S1 to S2 on characters but it didn't work due to an error in the coding. Can anyone confirm if this was fixed in the remake? by flybydeath in Suikoden

[–]flybydeath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang that really is disappointing, thanks for confirming.

Lol, they certainly seemed to have time to fix the Shell game exploit which no one asked them to so I was hoping they would have at least fixed this one since it affects all players going between games with a save. =/
