Era thinks Iran is holding back because of the weak response, when the reality is that haven't replenished their stock from the last time they shot their wad at Israel.

Ballistic missile ain't cheap or quickly produced.

It's not an ability on cooldown? How is that fair? Why hasn't this been patched for balance?

[killamajig]

Them trying to rationalize Iran hitting civilians is also cool

Can someone explain to me why places like Dubai are being targeted by Iran right now?

I straight up don't understand

They are targeting US bases in these countries. The problem is, these missiles are being intercepted and are then falling down on civillian areas. They are not bombing schools like israel and the US are.

They're all up in that thread saying that the US/Israel deliberately targeted that Iranian school. Occam's razor: the missile debris fell on the school or one of Iran's own shit missiles failing. But no era thinks it's some some Westerner rubbing their hands together salivating at the idea of wasting a million dollar weapon on an elementary school.

Obsessed with this new stylus and travel battery I got to match my clear purple Thor Pro 12gb. It has a magnetic cap and disc tip and feels so smooth and precise. Keep in mind I have big hands lol. Also the power bank is amazing because the lanyard IS the usb-c cable and it's so small!

Posting my first 30 minutes video here when it's done processing shortly but just saying on my top-tier rig (RTX 5090, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 96GB DDR5 6600 MHz Corsair Ultimate RAM, NVME SSD) the game is seriously the first time my 5090 is pushing itself hard. I have it on DLAA DLSS to achieve this. 99% GPU utilization and I had to change MFG from 3x to 4x just to push extra frames out from the initial cutscene which was at 40FPS. I finally got gameplay into the 90-120 FPS threshold at 4x MFG. With path-tracing and everything else turned to max though, and full wide dynamic range dolby atmos surround sound on my home theater and LG G4 77" OLED, I'm having trouble emphasizing just how fucking good this horror experience is when you can take it all in. It's astoundingly gorgeous and for the first time I'm not sure how my PC is going to handle a potential future VR mod coming out for this lol. But it's begging for it. This game in first-person is absolutely amazing from my initial impressions. The tension and grounded atmospheric audiovisual storytelling through player exploration is a balance that Capcom has finally completely nailed in RE9, at least based on the first half hour.

And I'm laughing at Era thinking Iran should have nuclear weapons. (Talk about expensive , just ask Russia. ) Iran can't even get water to their people.

Fuck any Iranian out there celebrating this war, by all means hope for the best possible outcome from this shitty situation... but fuck celebrating death and destruction.

Some racist (or "Tourette's" claimer) says the n-word or video game developer "supports" Gamergate or state government makes you renew your license: punch Nazis, they should live in fear, all our problems are because we don't do enough violence against people who upset us, time to arm up and start fighting back in the streets.

Super conservative oppressive Iranian regime: woah, now, violence isn't the answer here, it's gross to want to see your oppressive rulers overthrown, you should work through proper channels and ask permission, think of the consequences if you supported someone just because they're the enemy of your enemy.

My first thought is the entire senior Iranian leadership was meeting under the school but I might be Hamas-pilled.

The balls to try and tone police how Iranian people should react to this extremely complex situation where their country is being attacked, but where also their extremely oppressive regime is being the target. The regime that has stole their country from them, forcing millions to leave their friends and family to live elsewhere, and the regime that killed tens of thousands of just during the last month or so alone.

I think we can all agree that this attack isn't being done to save the Iranian people. Nor do I think America and Israel have the right to do this, nor do I think they will handle the aftermath of this all in a positive way. But I'm not going to blame anyone that has seen or experienced the blanket of darkness that has suffocated their country for almost 50 years to hold on to any hope they might find, no matter how small, that they might experience a free Iran within their lifetime.

I do admire the giant balls on that guy. Usually when you go the Welfare Queen route you try and keep that stuff on the down low. Apparently you don't have to do that on era. You'll even get banned if you try and point it out.

No one is free until we are all free and supporting Zionist imperialism taking out a powerful anti-colonialist and anti-genocide voice sets this back.

Hamas ERA claims half of it is Zionist propaganda (  ) and most of Arab ERA don’t live on the region or are privileged people.

I was surprised how many at ERA are Arab descendants, I thought they were driven out of the forum in droves.

[Potato]

Driven out in droves like the trans community, the African American community and the Asian community.

Disingenuously presenting harmful people and beliefs as just opinions in an enlightened centrist way to make profit has made for an actively harmful channel that deserves to die.

So? What does that matter? People celebrated Sadaam and Qadaffi dying, that doesn't mean national or regional stability? The question is what is next.

You are not wrong, but given how leftist talk, feels like the region was peaceful in itself before the westerners fucked up. 

I don’t doubt Trump made things worse in the long run, but people shouldn’t act like this is a black and white conflict or rewrite story as “those poor bastards”. But I Imagine that also would cast doubt on the romanticized idea of revolution.

Don't they like force gay dudes to transition...?

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Legal and Religious Context

Iran criminalizes homosexuality, with same-sex sexual activity punishable by imprisonment, flogging, or death.
In contrast, gender reassignment surgery (SRS) has been legal since the 1980s, following a fatwa by Ayatollah Khomeini that permitted sex changes for individuals deemed to be in the "wrong body." This religious ruling forms the basis of Iran’s unique legal stance, where transgender identity is recognized—but only through surgical transition.

While the state does not officially mandate that gay individuals undergo SRS, the legal framework creates a stark choice: remain homosexual and face severe punishment, or transition and gain limited legal recognition. This has led to widespread allegations that the system effectively forces gay people to transition as a means of survival

Yikes...

[kaleidoscopium]

This is the thing, hearing what the other side has to say can be important. No one has all the answers and our own ideas and beliefs can be made stronger through actual debate and challenging our assumptions. Real debate can make for better policy outcomes. The issue with spaces like Jubilee, however, are that they platform literal bigots and nutcases and normalize them for a broader audience, they aren't having actual debates. It's Crossfire on steroids and everything Jon Stewart said when he shit on them to their faces applies triple here. They take Nazis and treat them like they would a normal ideology. Jubilee functions in a way that makes people think that people like Steve Bannon are exactly the same as people like Mitt Romney, all they do is normalize the fascists and authoritarians by doing what they do. The spaces that function like Jubilee does are a big part of why we have a radicalization problem.

No, b dubs, places like the forum you manage are why we have a radicalization problem. The fact you can’t see that says you’re lost in the woods already.
