Actually, you probably would easily be able to convince Nepenthe to kill the other two and then hand her the loaded gun, taking care of all three.

I was like, "why on Earth would Nepenthe of all people kill Hitler?!" but then I remembered he was a quarter Jewish.

"hey era, what would you do if you woke up tomorrow and had superman's powers?"

I'd bring rain to Africa and then lord over the continent. If you're a superman politics should be below you.

Why Africa? Lions and elephants are cool.

I would hang with the brehs and be like "Ok fellas who are we invading today? 10% for the big guy"

Believe me, I get it more than you know. Japanese History - especially the Sengoku and Bakumatsu periods - was one of my focus points for my college research. None of the "legends" of the Bakumatsu era were good people. Everyone was out to screw everybody else over and be the ones left holding the reins power at the end of it all, even the ones who dressed it up in populist rhetoric. Sakamoto is obviously the one that has been sanitized the most due to decades of pop culture portraying his life and death as tragic.

I just feel like at the end of the day, expecting some kind of deep criticism of that period of history out of a AAA video game, especially one from Team Ninja in particular, was always going to lead to disappointment. It's no different from how Ghost of Tsushima is comically inaccurate in just about every conceivable way for the sake of "rule of cool".

This kind of video game - this kind of pop culture in general, really - just always struggles at being anything other than "look how cool this is!" Would it be nice if they actually spent the majority of the playtime examining the long-term damaging effects of the end of the Bakumatsu era? Absolutely. I just don't expect them to, probably because I've been burned so many times by the industry dancing around difficult discussion topics like that.

Look how racist this fucker is.  He doesn't care about proper representation of people of color in this videogame taking place during the Bakumatsu era.  He just wants them to be "historically accurate" (dogwhistle).  Of all the things I criticize this forum for, it's really the tragic amounts of racism that gets me.

[Boredfrom]

Fucker does everything but doesn’t know anything.  

Whenever he is lying or telling the true, he knows that expecting this in a Team Ninja game is foolish but still finds a way to bitch and moan.

Edit: oh, he is more or less defending the game.

Latest sales thread showcasing how retarded they were on Hogwarts Legacy last year

It's still a strong result. Last February saw the release of Hogwarts Legacy, which was a major smash hit. To give you an idea of just how big Hogwarts' launch was, its sales after five weeks was greater than the entire Top Ten for February this year.

Is funny that they want historical accuracy in this game while demand that western historical games are “MUH POWER FANTASY”. 

I get that this also actually has to do with East Asian politics and WWII shit shows. But is tiring how hard they go one way or another because perceived progressive politics.

Place is full of micro rules and weird knowledge checks that make it such a closed and esoteric community. Hate this site, outside of the few times I had to delve deep in this swamp to get a very specific answer to a niche question.

Probably because the mods actually stick to the rules and follow an overarching sense of logic here.

They legitimately believe this bullshit.

But the mods said so, it must be true

One interesting thing I found in that thread n the non binary water-thrower one, is that there is a growing contingent of these losers that is moving towards suicide being a thing you can/should prosecute the 3rd party 'argressors' for. An intriguing next step in the lunacy. Love it, btw. Phenomenal lulz. Only the best lulz

Hogwarts has been in the top 10 for an entire year.

This thread is a great and continuing example of how easy it is to manipulate people into believing in conspiracy theories.

These planes are being built poorly, I think it's a pretty big deal. Postulating on the whistleblower's death definitely feels like throwing theories at a wall; but if the problem still exists and Boeings are built like shit and costing past and/or future casualties, I think people being upset/concerned is pretty justified.

Dice, you fucking idiot, that is not what he means. 

Anger shouldn’t justify you believing or inventing stupid shit.

“Boeing totally killed this dude when the company is highly investigated because… they are evil? they are idiots? A lawyer got mad?”

10 years ago there was lots of talk about building resilience in teens and young people. That kind of thing is dead now. No one talks about it. It's all just pity points and blaming others for all the problems.

So you can mock names. Just not ethnic ones. Aren't all names kind of ethnic?

[clockwork5]

Tethering VR to a gaming console is a losing proposition. If Sony wants to develop a viable VR product they will divorce its branding and hardware dependencies from PlayStation or forever have it be banished to the historically comical economic world of console peripherals.
