HFY in the modern sense was originally the result of angry neckbeards being triggered by James Cameron’s Avatar and venting by writing a bunch of stories that basically boiled down to “chad humans showing the virgin xenos what for (usually via mass murder)”. After a while people calmed down enough (or enough non-angry neckbeards got drawn in) to start expanding beyond that original concept, which is when we started getting more “humans are the tide that lifts all boats” and “humans are weird and that’s OK” style stories. So yeah, I agree that even if the genre is more that that nowadays, it’s still a fundamental part of it.

Why would I shell out $50 to play on a tiny ass screen with shitty touchscreen controls? Fuck that noise.

Yeah, looks like it could be the start of heat rash. @[email protected] do you feel a sort of prickly heat under the bumps?

Making the consumers pay to do beta testing. That’s the sort of nonsense we get with AAA games, so I guess it fits the narrative of “Tesla as tech company, not car company” that Musk was going on about a couple months ago.

The new LA law that I’m told actually lists 11 commandments.

AO3 is ArchiveOfOurOwn.org. They’re both fic hosting sites.

LessWrong are a bunch of pretentious loons, so you’re not wrong.

Last I heard, he decided to bow out of politics after his anti-semitism blew up in his face. Maybe someone finally forced him to take his meds?

Look, if Rafael Cruz was willing to listen to voters on anything other than oppressing minorities he wouldn’t be GOP.

Sorry, but there is no context. All of the other bounty hunters just exist to pad out the multiplayer roster and provide random encounters in single player. They don’t actually have any plot significance.

Hey now, Orban cares.

And 160 years later his legacy has been coopted by the same sort of people who killed him to begin with.

Who?

Article says that he’s also requested to speak at the Dem convention. So it’s not that he’s supporting El Presidente Convicto, but rather taking the opportunity to speak to a captive audience. Good luck to him, but I’m not gonna hold my breath that he’s actually going to convince anyone there to stop sucking corporate cock.

Every accusation is a confession, after all.

Just cross the equator.

As much as I agree that he absolutely deserves to hang for crimes against humanity, there’s no chance of that ever happening, so it wouldn’t be a factor in his decision making. Getting ousted for corruption, though, was definitely on the docket last year (hell, IIRC whether or not he should even be allowed to form a government at all while the investigation was ongoing was a question that the courts needed to rule on). So it’s really quite convenient for him that Hamas managed such a brazen, large scale attack to let him justify staying in power.

Yeah, Switch pointer controls were pretty YMMV, simply because the joycons themselves aren’t nearly as reliable in that regard as the Wiimotes were.

I think you’re giving him too much credit. He’s just saying whatever will let him keep the hostilities going so that he doesn’t leave office and promptly get his ass thrown in jail for corruption.

Yeah, TFA is bland corporate cookie cutter crap, but it’s at least not deliberately hostile to people who actually liked Star Wars going in. But on the other hand, the fact that it was greenlit as a mainline Star Wars movie was rather indicative that either Disney didn’t actually care to properly vet what they were putting out, or that I was very definitely not part of the target audience they wanted. So I haven’t watched or read anything else since.
