There is still hope


Anyway the last Tomb Raider game was actually not developed by Crystal Dynamics but Eidos Montreal.

Doesn't bode well for that Perfect Dark game they are developing for Microsoft. 
Pick your style purple haired fat Joanna / John Dark incoming

also as recently as 5 years ago, shadow of the tomb raider had gross grunting african tribesmen with weird rituals and shit, which I have no idea how they got away with and is far worse than anything in the classic tomb raider games

How dare they portray Africans as having weird rituals and shit?

There's more localizer drama

This time someone who was contracted to help with a dub of an old anime started speaking about it quite openly, not hiding that he actually hates the source material and kept making changes. Partly removing stuff he considered transphobic but also making general changes where he thought the writing was bad. He later deleted the post and the company stated that they wont work with him again.

Even more interesting is the reaction by other localizers though, who seem less mad at the guy for being a bad localizer but instead rather mad that he talked about it openly.

Anime people are unprofessional idiots?

This content is deeply harmful, but we're going to leave it in because harming you is our kink.

You are perpetuating the chud nonsense.

I watched Lovely Complex back in the day with fan subs.

Kind of sad how there was a time when lesser known shows were translated as a hobby out of love for the material. Were they sometimes overzealous in adhering to direct translations? Yeah sure. But even keikaku and nakama are better than weird racist sociopaths bastardizing the work and insulting the artists.

You'd think the whole "tomb raiding" thing would be most problematic of all.

[Polident]

Like most people I haven’t watched the new Indiana jones movie. But people say they directly address that? Or are people shitposting?

To me, he'll always be the guy who posted a gay fetish story on RPG Codex. About one guy eating another guy's shit.

The British aren't ready to hand back all the looted treasures quite yet. Empty platitudes about "harmful depictions" are one thing. Taking responsibility for stealing ancient treasures and then not returning them to their rightful places is another story.

To be fair, those things only have value because the Brits were interested in them.

Most cultures preserve nothing or very little but the Brits invested millions of pounds if not more to keep the items in good condition.
These days some of these items are returned from Europe to their 'rightful owners' who then toss it in a leaky basement or sell it to private collectors. 

It would be fair if the party that it was returned to paid the bill for all the efforts to preserve it but no one is ready to have that conversation

The British Museum is legit one of the great achievements in human history

Have you been to the British Museum? It literally has a leaking roof. Last time I was there the gallery with the Elgin Marbles had buckets all around to catch the dripping rainwater.

The place is also not climate controlled at all, so these priceless treasures are preserved in galleries that have to close on hot summer days because it’s unsafe for humans.

Some of the stuff was stolen, some wasn’t, but let’s not pretend it’s sparing no expense to preserve these treasures for the good of humanity. It’s rotting on the same shoestring budget as any other British public amenity these days.

In case anyone else wonder what caused that brave statement, Rachel Dolezal has an only fans account and just got fired from her teaching job because of it

Wait did he just say he spends $400 US for a week for groceries?
 
And he managed to buy $100 worth of groceries in Russia?

The average person in Russia spends around 4,000-5,000 Russian rubles per month on food, according to recent statistics. This translates to approximately $50-70 USD or €40-60 EUR per month, based on current exchange rates.

What does the Tuck eat that he spends $1600 a month. 

[Besticus Maximus]

Maybe Tuck often has big eaters over for dinner
