It's about a slave mouse going off and building an army to come back and defeat the slavers.

Some reviews have been critical of the Redwall novels for providing too simplistic a view of good and evil.[10] The characteristics of the animals in the novels are fixed by their species, making them quite "predictable",
...
Many reviewers have also criticized the Redwall series for repetition and predictability, citing "recycled" plot lines[13] and Jacques' tendency to follow a "pattern to the dot".[14] Other reviewers note that such predictable "ingredients" may be what "makes the Redwall recipe so consistently popular".[11] Although the series does not break new ground in terms of plot formula, it does provide satisfying adventures with "comforting, predictable conclusions for its fans".[15]

yeah that's a charitable assessment, plenty of people just call him an old racist british guy who constantly reinforces the idea that races behave according to their nature? with a few "one of the good ones"

kinda expected anyone who encountered this series would run into that discourse, especially "very online" nepenthe types

brian jacques is the prototypical jk rowling, side eyed long before she was cancelled

Nep has never been to a cookout in her life.

Hard disagree. 

She has been to plenty and she NEVER brings up politics or makes anyone uncomfortable. I know this because she's a fucking hypocrite and expects all the other reeeetards to do what she says, not what she does.

Eh, I imagine she brings politics and gets called out. She is like Trump in changing her position depending of who they talk to IRL. She was suddenly batting for Tesla and Musk for a brief period a year ago during holidays or when the white creator from 5 Nights on Freddy was spared from her wrath.

Gotta consider that these people sit in the corner and don’t interact with anybody. Later fantasizing scenarios where they’re not socially stunted weirdos.

There’s famously that web comic where a bear wearing a fedora defends a power girl cosplayer. But in photos of the event, it’s a woman posing and flirting with her boyfriend. The fedora guy is awkwardly watching them in the background.

The media is controlled to not showcase it. dissent is discouraged, if you show it, then it has the chance to grow. They've been astroturfing the internet for decades to keep this shit tied down.

Then protests the media. Don't let them spread the lie

So a bit of a crazy question, but isn't part of the reason why the Second Amendment exist is to protect against a powerful federal government and resistance to oppression, right? So would you then be in the right when you actually use your guns against the goon squad of a seriously overreaching federal government as a form of self defense? Or do you need to officially be part of a militia (can you even be officially part of a militia?) for this right to kick in?

And if not, when are you allowed to take up arms against a federal government if part of the reason the Second Amendment is explicitly about self defense against the federal government?

This seems like speculation due to a weird looking photo, which is equally possible due to bad Photoshopping and editing.

We don't want users accusing people of using Gen AI with no evidence in any thread, so we're locking this. Users should take care with these accusations going forward. We've had too many threads and posts that have been quickly proven incorrect.

 User banned (1 week): inflammatory rhetoric

They BELIEVE in it, but I he evidence is mounting that they won't, on aggregate, fight to keep it.

I hate sounding alarmist where Trump is concerned, but he already tried to refuse transferring power - and it nearly worked. Then he was allowed to run, and win, again! It's an alarmingly short hop from January 6th to a near-term future where Trump loses an election but just refuses to concede, and I really don't think it's guaranteed that enough Americans will try to stop him.

Its not alarmist to know that Americans are psychotically individualistic and don't give a shit about each other let alone other countries. These people are not going to leave their comfortable bubbles to fight and die for *anything*. Not freedom, not each other, not the WORLD, nothing.

As far as I remember, this was the latest staff post about AI accusations (sure would be nice if there was a place where all staff rulings were collected so people wouldn't need to constantly search through multiple versions of this thread for them, but not like that hasn't been suggested a hundred times).

I don't blame countries for turning away from the US and seeking deals with the next largest financial power. In fact, it's the smart play and what's best for their citizens right now

The "they're not the US so automatically they're good" shine they're getting from a portion of this site and other left-leaning online circles is hilariously ignorant tho

I have started to use Reddit more because mobile games and stuff… and I must to say:

Bitch ass terrible site overall .  is like ERA in everyone panicking and spreading misinformation even when stuff is debunked or misinterpreted.

I suppose it depends of the subreddits, but I can’t take people being disappointed of a corpo (  ) because they are investing in AI like everyone else.

“Why is CyAgent investing in AI?  They are going to get lazy in my horse girl game even if they publish art books describing the process of designing characters in insane detail.  ”

So fucking stupid.

You can't micro-moderate every single behavior you don't like. People have the right to be nihilistic, it's up to you to either move on or engage. AI is a problem in that each and every person has a different line for what's acceptable and whether something is AI or not, you can't expect this to be universal.



The word must remain free. If you think something looks like AI you shouldn't be required to stay quiet, since there can't exist any evidence for or against the usage of AI anyway. It's the reality of the current climate. A rule would mean an unfettered growth for AI where it can be present without anyone saying anything until the artists/company admits it themselves, and that's simply asinine.



No company is even required to disclose AI usage in the first place.

AI derangement syndrome is real y'all

Honestly, that is a bitch ass weird hand on that photo. So at least NoA deserves to be questioned of “how the fuck you got that?” whatever AI or shit photoshop.  

If anything, that also shows how AI is not the only cause of lower standards.

The posts from then are available. These guys were miserable and telling people not to vote for Harris. And if she won, they’d still be miserable, as they were during Biden’s four years.

It's kinda amazing how some users read the studio literally saying "We didn't make the decision", decide to ignore it and immediately start speculating "Well, obviously it's because Switch 2 is underpowered".

Specially amazing because the ones saying that… are Nintendies themselves. 

I'm sure it would be a challenging port but not even trying is a colossally stupid decision.

Doubt it. We just got an official D&D release on Switch 6 months ago. Hasbro/WoTC are big supporters of Switch.

Hes always poppin off

He is dismissed when people are comfortable and embraced in times of uncertainty

Been this way for decades

He can be a little out there, but his heart's always been in the right place.

Isn’t that the reason why half of the U.S. voted for Trump again?

Wasn't he crazy right wing before

pro union libertarian crank yes

right wing no

while he did pal around with some right wingers he was always in his own world politically
