    All you need is the ability to write at a high school level, and as long as you’re confirming their biases, you can convince these people of literally anything.

    A group of hundreds spent weeks (months?) hanging around Dealey Plaza because they were certain that JFK was going to appear and, I dunno, rescue them from communism or whatever.





  • Yes there is. It’s called: stop being a religious ethnostate. Maybe try being a secular, Democratic nation that doesn’t literally have an apartheid system.

    South Africa was able to do it. Are you saying, with all of the funding my country is sending Israel (on my dime, by the way) they can’t do what South Africa did in the 1990s? Sounds like a bullshit excuse.

    Stop buying the propaganda. Both Netanyahu (and Likud in general) as well as Hamas have great interest in preventing a one state solution. It is of one of the few shared goals that they can agree on, and they have been doing everything in their power for decades to prevent that from even being an option on the table.

    And they’ve been wildly successful, as people balk at the very concept of rebuffing religious nationalism in favor of secular democracy with a one state solution.

    It’s the only possible way to achieve any kind of lasting peace in the region.

    I like how Japanese does it (at least based on a likely oversimplistic explanation by someone who makes 4+ hour video reviews of games like Pac-Man [yes, Tim Rogers]).

    From what I understand, every time a person refers to themselves or someone else, they choose which pronoun to use to fit the situation. That is to say, their social stature compared to the other person’s, their age compared to the other person’s, the general circumstances, etc. Similar to how their honorifics work (suffixes like -kun, -san, -sama, etc.).

    So for example, while there is a specific pronoun that is typically used to refer to a young female, if there is a young girl in a situation where she’s trying to make herself feel stronger and older (I’m picturing an internal monologue here to hype herself up I guess. I’m too brain broken to not imagine all of this going down in a JRPG), she might refer to herself using the pronoun typically used by grown men.

    Again, I don’t know Japanese, so I can’t give specific examples, and I could even be completely wrong, but maybe someone who knows the language can elaborate on (i.e. correct) what I said. I found it to be a very interesting way to go about it.






  • I haven’t used mine with PC (I usually just use an X-Box One controller, which was my fav prior to DualSense probably), but it’s a shame that more games don’t use the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. It’s used relatively often and pretty well on PS5, and for me it’s a borderline killer feature. If more games utilized it in the way Astro’s Playroom did (yes I know it’s a tech demo but that’s kind of the point), it would be far and away my favorite for any system.

    Haven’t had issues with battery life, but taht could be because I’ve updated firmware, or maybe the PS5 is just better at managing the DSs’ battery since they’re made for eachother. I also got the official brand charging dock, so perhaps that has something to do with prolonging battery life? Couldn’t tell you.
