Im glad they bare making good figs also, but this guy was just flat out calling me a liar......

I never called you a liar. I said you were wrong.

You said multiple times they were the "same exact thing as XMO". The above pictures showed that while they work very similar to the regular ball joints, they are not the same thing. They look noticeably different so that it is not a giant ugly ball at the tops of each leg, which was my entire point: they are a different style.

I was wrong about them being the same as Iron Man though.

Its the fact that you said "You're factually incorrect and simply blind" when in fact you were. I dont care how high and mighty you think you are, or that you may be right sometime.

You need to knock the "Tude" out of it......

They are still ball joints all movie lines are ball joints...may be a new style but still a freaking ball joint.....and I said that it might not be a "Ball" but its still a Balljoint.

Wow, just when I thought Hasbro couldn't sink any lower in their attempts for a quick cash grab they keep raising the bar.

Just look at those POS's, are you freakin' kidding me. The MU are already too expensive for what's being put into them, how much are these little darlings gonna run you.

Now they are just targeting the faithful fan base. Do you really need to purchase the same crappy Wolverine you bought a month ago just to get his bike? Brings to mind the "Malibu Stacy with New Hat" episode of the Simpsons.

And for a "Deluxe" figure don't you think the awsomely talented studio the are subcontracting to do the sculpts could have made a Blob that doesn't look like Sally Struthers? A figure based on the Biggest Loser contestant movie version would have even been better. Way to waste a buck Hasbro.

And did I read the card right? Are they actually giving these abominations (not Blonsky) an action feature. Here's one for you Hasbro. How about a "How Far Can I Throw This POS" Sabretooth.

Even the most die hard MU fans have to be disappointed. Then again, by now your probably used to accepting a lower standard. (two left feet, week hip joints, smeared face paint aps, etc.)

Wow, it's almost embarrassing how seriously you take toys.

Firstly, MU are not too expensive. They are great figures and $7.99 is not too expensive. A dollar less? Sure, maybe. Go compare them to the terrible and less expensive Infinite Heroes. The MU line is very good.

Secondly, why would MU fans be disappointed? This isn't MU. This is X-Men Origins. The line is not as good as MU. They are very obviously different in terms of feel and design. MU is a quality line. This isn't as good. Quite a few problems with it.

Thirdly, yes, they are putting out another Wolverine with a bike. Stop acting like you're forced to buy it. This is a freakign toyline. They've done things like this since action figures were created.

Relax. We get it, you make pop culture references while trying to be negative for no real reason. Congrats.

I remember you ZevoVGM. You're the guy that likes to bust in on good threads and create havock with your smug remarks and passive aggressive comments.

Yeah, I take toys seriously like pretty much everyone here.

We come here to talk about toys. If you don't want to, you can do us all a favor and go away.

You like MU I understand, that's your choice. Just like it's anyones choice to dislike them. Everyone else is not wrong just because they don't see things the way you do.

You wanna comment about how much you like MU, do it and keep your condiscending attitude in check.

I'll probably get repremanded by the Mod Squad for lashing out but I guarantee I'm not the only one here who dislikes your MO. I'll consider it well worth it to get it off my chest.

How you manage to keep yourself from being banned is beyond me.

I've got nothing more to say to you. I'll react to you whenever you have something intellegent to say. Without the attitude.

So I googled "zeovgm factually" and also got: https://forum.chorus.fm/posts/5586074

Well, this is factually incorrect and makes absolutely no sense. So it's funny funny that you think you're in a place to tell anyone else that they sound stupid.

Your defensiveness over this album is embarrassing and childish. Someone not liking the album doesn't mean they didn't want to like it. You know how I handle albums that I don't want to like? I don't listen to them at all. You know, like a normal person.

No it isn't. It was absolutely never advertised or meant to be "half Square, half Disney." The majority of it is Disney with some FF sprinkled in. That's how it's always been.

If you say so. I know I play them because they're fun and I like the original characters. There are only a few Disney characters I like.

"Factual"? It's wrong factually? WTF? Square made the games and Disney is in the game with Square characters that are originals and the Square's FF characters. You really mean to tell me that Square isn't at least half of these games? It's your opinion how much of this is Disney. Until there is nothing in it that's Square, not even the development, I can always say that I play the games for Square.

Yeah, its exactly this kind of thing that has the country so divided and heated right now, and here Marvel is enabling it. Marvel is supposed to write about heroes and heroics and what it means to be good. Portraying fellow Americans you disagree with politicially as villains isn't good or heroic, its misguided and wrong and sends a bad message of morality.

Its neither funny nor in good taste and I hope they reconsider.

This is absolute nonsense. This isn't a matter of "disagreeing" with someone. As I just said, he is on record of saying he wants to take AWAY the rights of gay people. He wants to commit war crimes. This is not, "Oh, I don't really agree with that."

It's factually wrong.

And no, this is not what's dividing the country. What's dividing the country is there are people who agree with those terrible things and people who want to make sure it doesn't happen.

And artists should be able to fight against fascism with their art.

There's like 20+ pages of Era results of him saying "factually wrong", "factually incorrect" and "factually untrue."

Somewhere out there in the forgotten internet is the fabled "first time" ZeroVGM used the term. I have faith in you benji. I know you will find it.

This is what gets me is Hasan has (carefully) advocated for using a lot of the same levers Trump abused or created, which Era would claim are evil, but simply use them on different targets so now they are suddenly good? Instead of ICE rounding up immigrants in cages, it'd be conservatives and wealthy people, I guess? But I'm sure "eat the rich" is just in jest. I thought we didn't like internment camps, but apparently it just depends on the mark.

No bad actors, only bad targets. The problem isn't what the other side is doing, it's just who they are doing it to.

Every accusation a confession. It's why why terfs never talk about wanting anyone dead, but the internet is full of creeps constantly saying they want to kill (and rape) terfs.

In short:
An Israeli not-for-profit organisation has published a report that details allegations of sexual violence against victims of Hamas's October 7, 2023, attacks.

The report alleges not only the extent of sexual crimes committed by Hamas, but also the concerns among victim survivors.

What's next?
The organisation behind the report hopes the work will become a formal, adopted record of October 7, 2023. 

Will Resetera "believe women" or call them "Nazi apologists"?

[Besticus Maximus]

He successfully mobilized the peasants and overthrew autocracy you fucking chud cunt fucks. He was just a simple guy who lived on a farm that provided reeducation services to settled minorities and never told lies. He literally saved the peasants and went back to his fucking farm to do work and theory  

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Well, I'm disabled (high-functioning autism, or whatever you call it these days), heavily sex-repulsed, asexual, and don't want kids. And I'm unwilling to accommodate a partner who wants sex or kids (maybe if we were much older and their kids were all grown up, I'd be flexible on the existing kids thing). So that heavily tanks my chances there. There's also the fact that I've never had any real desires for a real person beyond passing fancies and fantasies (only know I'm not aromantic due to having some fictional "waifus" (I'm heteromantic, which also hurts my chances) and thoughts and desires in my head about having a relationship). There's also my personal failures like being broke, lazy, fat, ugly, stupid, uncharismatic, usive, abusive, depressed, a shit person, etc. I'm also past prime desirability (in my early 30s) and have no real prior experience, so me thinking about relationships at this point is essentially childish.

A few women have expressed interest in me (mostly online in dedicated ace dating spaces), but I don't know what they even saw in me. I never feel like I know any of the gals on these places enough to actually want to pursue them. I liked to do a "screening and building rapport" phase before actually trying to go further, since I think a good relationship needs a solid friendship behind it as well (we wouldn't have gotten to that in a short amount of time, but even an acquaintanceship before actually dating would be better than nothing). I also just felt like a creep going over these women's profiles. And I might just be. And even if I wasn't they might think that anyways. By removing myself from the dating pool, I allow those other women that little extra chance they can actually find a decent person.

Relationships, from what I have seen and heard from others, also seem very cutthroat and generally flawed. Happy relationships can and do exist, but they seem to be the exception to the rule. At least, until people date many people to find someone that works for them. I hold no illusions that I'll ever get a healthy one. Especially with how many people seem to bitch about their relationships. I'm already low on the totem pole. Outside normal peoples' desirabilities. Maybe if I wasn't asexual, there'd be some chance I could find someone after a long time searching. But since sex seems to be the most important factor for most people for a relationship, yeah...

There's also trauma from growing up. When I was young, my parents seemed to try ship me near every gal my age. Shit might be just annoying for some, but it was traumatizing for me. Felt like I couldn't talk to gals my age without my parents trying to ship me. I came to calling myself asexual on my own (before I knew it was a thing), and then hoarded calling myself aro when I learned what it was (to be fair, I've always had low romantic drives, I suppose. But even growing up, I think in hindsight I had my thoughts and feelings. And my "waifus". Hell, I even had a preschool "girlfriend") Then came my parents' divorce. It was almost entirely my dad's fault and he's now the worst person I personally know (there's worse, but I don't personally know Trump, for instance). It didn't help my view of relationships and the drama and trauma a failed one could bring. Even with my mom's stable and working relationship with my stepdad, yeah. Not every relationship can be like their's. And of my biological parents, my mom was the greater "offender" with "shipping me with other gals my age". She's calmed down now and took the time I came out to her about my specifics well. And she's honored my requests to not talk about it if I don't want to (I've never talked to her about it again.). Still, she bothers my younger siblings with the "shipping" so she's not entirely learned her lesson...

The one time I kind of tried dating was in 2024 when I talking to some gal and in my "screening" phase (I'm upfront with that). She had her problems and mental issues, but I don't think I made it worse (I'll never know, for reasons I'll say shortly). And she sent some red flags, which she was aware of "love bombing". Well, eventually, she ghosted me some day after a month of not talking to me (she said she needed some time to herself, which I obliged). She never told me why and I didn't care enough to "hunt" her down. When we were talking, she'd keep asking if I was annoyed or angry at her. I wasn't until she ghosted me. And even then, I'm not really that angry or upset at her. More just annoyed. I don't wish to talk to her again, but I wish her the best in life. In retrospect, I don't think it ever would have worked and wouldn't have been a good fit, but that "farce" of sorts was a bit depressing. And likely to happen again if I try again.

In summation, a combination of me being a shit person, extremely low desirability, having a niche orientation, trauma, other people having terrible experiences, a failed attempt, and more are reasons I shouldn't date. I'd put my desirability around MAGAs and incels, even though I'm neither. I have a battle in my brain between sides that want a relationship and those that don't (for whatever reason). The "pro-relationship" side used to give me lots of mental pain for saying never, but, while it still does, years of attacking it and out-logic-ing it have eased those punishments (though that battle in of itself has caused trauma). It still thinks that a forever single life seems kind of boring and pointless. But when I'm such a terrible person and the odds massively stacked against me and so much trauma, what's the point? Others can live single just fine (which I'm kind of envious of, even if I'm single and can handle being single, just part of my mind would like a relationship), why not me?

I'm some fucking shithead that is in the running for one of the worst humans to ever exist (like, on the level of Trump, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Leopold 2, Putin, Netanyahu, the Kims etc.). I am so utterly, completely dogshit with basically nothing to offer. I'm stupid; a failure; usive, abusive; broke; uncharismatic; don't do anything meaningful better than anyone else; fat; disabled; broke; skilless; a pariah; a cretin; a coward; lazy; picky; useless; imperfect; and so much more. I ruin social relationships all the fucking time with my own actions. I have achieved essentially nothing with my life when you're expected to have it all figured by 18 and it feels like basically everyone else is instantly successful. I punish myself for my shittiness, but it's never enough. And I'd think that people would love me self-bashing myself, yet for some reason, 99% of people dislike it. Despite my shittiness; despite the world being filled with cruel and sadistic people; despite people loving it in middle school... am I just not finding the right people? Why do people not appreciate me bringing justice to myself when no one else will?

I also struggle at times if wondering if the far right is "correct". I have little confidence and self-esteem and they sound "smart" and confident. Plus they just hate me for being me. Nothing I can do will ever be good for them for my innate traits (being autistic and asexual in this case), so I guess it's kind of validating to know that there's people who avoid the same tired optimistic platitudes about me ("you have 'value'", "you're too hard on yourself", and other crap I've heard a million times). They'd be willing to torture me for my failures and maybe even kill me. Yet I never hang around them. I'm scared of them and they're quite frankly otherwise generally disgusting. Yet I'm just so damned bad and there's not enough justice being done against me that, yeah. Plus they already won in the US and run the country... little I can do against them at this point. The world they seek sounds awful and boring, with the added caveat that they would never accept me (like it would turn out well even if they did... fascists eat themselves... it's a part of their ideology).

I keep hoping that my self-hatred will bear better fruit. That someone will actually like it (some do agree with my points about myself, at least). Yeah, I've destroyed so many relationships over it; tormented myself endlessly (though it's on and off at times... I still need some neutrality to get things done); have had depression since I was very young; etc. But I have to bring justice to an otherwise innately horrible human being (and I hold hypocritical double standards against myself to hate myself more... I'm not usually so harsh on myself). And any time I've tried "optimism", it's blown up in my face and I had my normal beliefs about myself reaffirmed. But when will others like me for my self-torment?

[who is ted danson?]

[BananaBlast]

What did these people expect?  How are these people so obsessed with the intricates and details of this stuff, yet fail to realize that a giant company just isn't gonna pass up the opportunity to cut costs and drastically speed things up?

Granted, I don't think Capcom is gonna nosedive straight into making AI Slop. I think it's more likely they're just gonna use gen AI to speed up the workflow, without making it immediately obvious.

And frankly, I do not care, unless the AI usage is something so bad/uncanny, that it takes me out of the game. 

Capcom is my fave studio ever. I'll just stop buying their stuff, they don't deserve my money and attention anymore.

You'll 100% be talking about the next big capcom game/DLC, bitch.

In five years I'll be praying for a video game industry crash that kills the entire industry and burns it to ashes. There's no value in a creative medium that wants to kill creativity. It's just slop at that point. A game that eschews human creativity in favor of output from a robot doesn't need to exist.

This is only a problem until it isn't.
Eventually there will be a big enough game that will simply pave the way forward with this stuff that people won't be able to ignore.
If consumers don't care about overpaying for games that are designed to milk them, they certainly won't give enough of a fuck if the wood texture was generated with AI, especially if that texture looks identical to the one that you would normally make with procedural tools or simply a photo texture.

Cool. And when we get there, I hope the industry dies. I'm not budging on this. Once we get there, "games" aren't games anymore. They aren't an art form, they aren't the product of real work. They have no value and they don't deserve to exist. They're just filler sludge.

And yet, you're the first person to go on an angry tirades about how awful you feel whenever game developer jobs are at risk, even if it's due to the game just flat out sucking, you miserable piece of shit.

[Boredfrom]

I kind of care because concept art and all that was one of the things where Capcom excelled.

One benefit was not only shortening the time required for brainstorming, but also being able to brainstorm ideas in a way that felt like collaborating with generative AI. Previously, brainstorming and iteration cycles required multiple people, but now they can be carried out by an individual.

That sounds legit horrible. WTF?

[Besticus Maximus]

Not very employed morons struggle to imagine why AI might be good for research, never once wondering if there was ever any downside to the system where Google ran a monopoly and made companies fake bid on the meaning of words then tied it to slopwords everyone else wanted to know about

[Besticus Maximus]
