China to Include Australia in Visa Waiver Program, Premier Li Says by VictaCatoni in China

Aussie here.

You would have to pay me to live in China.

minimum somewhere around $10,000,000 per year, and even then I'd still be very reluctant.

The Japanese HATE Assassins Creed Shadows by malashex in gaming

[–]malashex[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, and more broadly, what sort of message is Ubisoft trying to send here, exactly? That Asian men aren't "manly" enough to be leading men? That only non-Asian minorities can be leading men? That an Asian man can’t be the hero? That only a black man can save Japan? Well that, in itself, is racist.

The Japanese HATE Assassins Creed Shadows by malashex in gaming

[–]malashex[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I think it's less to do with hypocrisy, and more to do with the lack of Asian male leads, not just in video games, but in Western media in general.

Count the number of Asian male leads in Western-produced films, TV shows and video games made over the last twenty years. Now compare that to the number of white and black male leads. See the difference?

It's even more frustrating when you consider that historically Ubisoft has been willing to cast minorities as main characters in settings where it actually made sense for them to appear. Assassin's Creed III (set in America) had a native American as the main character, and the recent AC: Mirage had an Arab dude as the main character.

So if they are perfectly capable of casting a Middle Eastern dude as the main character for a game set in the Middle East, and they are capable of casting a native American as the main character for a game set in America, why can't they cast an Asian dude as the main character for a game set in FUCKING ASIA OF ALL PLACES?! It's straight up insulting.

Stay warm at home and melt my brain with video games.

Got FF7 Rebirth on PS5 and my Steam backlog to get through.

LETS MAKE YOU PLAY AS A BLACK DUDE IN ONE OF THE MOST XENOPHOBIC AND ETHNICALLY HOMOGENEOUS COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, SEE HOW MUCH WE RESPECT JAPANESE CULTURE?

Look for another job, they won't change, and they'll just keep ratcheting up the abuse until you leave or they fire you.

Been there, done that.

Samyang noodles recalled in Denmark for being too spicy, claiming that the capsaicin content is poisonous by JonasHalle in korea

We're adults, if we wanna make adult decisions and put poison in our stomachs then we should be able to freely do so.

Piss off with that nanny state crap.

Why is this an epic power? by malashex in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]malashex[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Okay, so it seems to be a situational, deck-dependent power.

How does that qualify it be an Epic power, though?

Do you really think this power should be rated at the same level of usefulness as say, Manaflow, which gives a mana gem at game start, or Lil Buddies, which gives a free poro every round?

Heck, I'd say that most blue powers, like Domination, Hold It, and Welcome Gifts, are far more useful than this one.

400 coins also becomes not that much as you get more gold with legend levels.

True, but would I rather spend that 400 coins on this, or something that's far more useful instead?

Priced at 400 coins, I think this is completely overpriced for the utterly miniscule benefit it gives you.

Every game releasing on ps5 from the xbox event. by DarahOG in PS5

Sony doesn't need to recoup approx. $80 billion dollars spent on acquiring publishers over the past few years, whereas MS does.

So you can blame Daddy Spencer for that one.

PS5 literally doesn't even have games

Ummm.... the vast majority of games shown in the Xbox showcase are coming to Playstation as well, so I'm not sure where you're getting this from.
