But unfortunately, there are almost zero developers making big JRPGs anymore, so until that changes, I'm going to complain about Persona being shallow and wasting its concept on mediocre power fantasy.

(and this does not even include the Nintendo and PlayStation exclusive titles)

Gran Blue Fantasy Relink
Persona 3 Reload
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

These dropped like within the span of 2 weeks.

Bet all of them somehow don't meet his standard for a "real" triple a JRPG (low budget remake, gacha spin off, yakuza spin off) like how he doesn't play Dragon quest.

its hard being retarded

I mean, P3R is not even low budget. Like it improved a lot of stuff. Re is crazy thinking that the FMC wouldn’t have increased the budget by a lot given the production values.

imagine this, 20 years from now you are retired and want to play your favorite jrpg all day long just to find there's lack of jrpg being released anymore because no one making it and the market shrinked due to japan lack of population, terrifying

hope they could find solution

Don't get your hopes up. Even with the way things are now they still get legions of female adult fans.

 

Is like they don’t need to cater weirdos in game forums and most people could care less about one instance of problematic jokes per game.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/drivers-how-do-you-do-it.812634/

So for the back story, I have my driver's license but haven't driven a car in years and am looking to buy one. I test-drove a 2021 Toyota Camry and had difficulty understanding how to straighten the wheels when starting to take off. How do you all understand or get a good feel to straighten the wheel? I have so much anxiety about this and want to get good at driving. Any tips or advice?

I can't be the only person sick of the word progressive.

Especially when the people who claim to be progressive are more conservative than a bunch of PMRC cunts from the 80s.

[Potato]

According to an expert whose texts I read regularly, the true nature of progress is to return to a hunter gatherer society where artists rule  over all others

No laws or prisons, only vibes

The funny thing here is all the people responding "you just need practice" when this poster can't even straighten the wheel! Like you just make the steering wheel design symmetrical and then your wheels will be straight - it ain't hard. 
Please keep this person off the roads.

Turn the wheel all the way to the right, turn the wheel all the way to the left, now center it. Does he think the wheel can just turn endlessly in both directions?

I assume it's a true communist farm and not some bougie LARP:

after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want ... only then can the narrow horizon of the bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs

the prime, basic and root principle of socialism: "He who does not work, neither shall he eat" ... In this simple, elementary and perfectly obvious truth lies the basis of socialism, the indefeasible source of its strength, the indestructible pledge of its final victory.

Some people prefer the light to the heavy, they pick the light and shove the heavy on to others. That is not a good attitude. Some comrades are different; they leave ease and comfort to others ... They are good comrades. We should all learn from their communist spirit.

We would never come to believe that a homosexual could embody the conditions and requirements of conduct that would enable us to consider him a true revolutionary, a true communist militant.

How is this possible? All the Japanese women i've ever seen in my life (on the internet) have been stunners!!

Oh shit. In her grief she’s joined the genocide.

[Boredfrom]

During the interview, she said she believed "without a doubt" that Brianna would not have been killed if such safeguards were already in place, adding that "they wouldn't have been searching that in the first place. And if they did search it then the parents would know and to be able to get them some kind of help."

Ms Ghey also said that she had struggled to monitor what Brianna was consuming online - and that she had accessed pro-anorexia and self-harm material.

She said her daughter was "very protective over a phone - it was the cause of a lot of arguments. I can imagine that in most households, this will be the case too. If she couldn't have accessed the sites, she wouldn't have suffered as much.

Oh boy, this is juicy. But I hope she understands that torture videos are not exactly shared in normal social media.

Scarlett Jenkinson, who killed Brianna, had watched videos of violence and torture on the dark web.

Not to mention teaching this shit to kindergarten kids seems to be out of their range in learning. The concepts would go straight over their heads.

I am giving this story a major side eye. It sounds fake as shit to stir up right wingers.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiracist_Baby

This shit almost got an animated series in Netflix

[benji]

The dominant newspaper in San Francisco (that opposed all the various recalls of progressives and only pushed back against the retail shoplifting claims) created an easily checked false story just to stir up right-wingers?

[benji]

That's gotta be some right wing grift, right? Strong Blacks Rule energy, imo.

Yeah, seriously.

I'm instantly suspicious of any place or person that asks for donations for vaguely defined purposes tbh.

Bull shit. This is a chan op for sure.

The name itself screams grift to me. Honestly surprised they actually had trainers. In any case, trying to combat racial bias is good, but surely there are better ways to use this money to improve test scores than to give it to a for-profit and (what I assume is) unproven company.

This has to be made up or a grift. I'm surrounded by other super leftist people and no one would think of doing something like this.

Having to pay for social justice curriculum just feels like an oxymoron.

  

[HaughtyFrank]

Don't they realize that if this is a grift that it would still mean that there's people who believe in this? Making shit like "Freedom beer" is also a grift, doesn't mean that the customers don't believe in it

[benji]

I clicked back onto the forum to see if the Ghey thread was on the first page and it wasn't but did find these gems:

China shuts down company, capitalism at fault: https://www.resetera.com/threads/what-the-collapse-of-a-company-owing-300-billion-means-for-the-world-business-insider-2-3-24.812802/

So the Chinese economy grew by 5.2% but since that's less than before the pandemic investors are frightened and liquidating their shares? Sounds like a very sustainable thing we've got going on with that whole capitalism.

Really cool and awesome we have literal sky scrapers sitting empty when we have thousands of homeless on the streets. Signs of a really awesome and functional country.

But Booshka got annihilated:

Importantly, since the court order was made in Hong Kong, it's also unclear if mainland authorities will recognize and comply with the order. This is important because most of Evergrande's assets are in mainland China. (Quote from article)

Since courts don't operate independently anymore in HK since the China Takeover of HK in 2020, it's clear the orders came from Beijing directly to liquidate the company.

Also this great Slayven thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/south-carolina-primary-super-saturday-joe-biden-gets-13-more-black-voters-than-2020-and-improves-his-numbers-with-white-voters.812730/

I mean he has no serious oppent. also by the time everyone relized the gop was going to shoot themselves with trump, it was too late to have a real primery.

But if he had no serious opponent, wouldn't it be more likely for some of Biden's supporters to sit out the primary because they don't think their vote is needed?

Instead, he increased his numbers.

It's this.

There are people enthusiastic to vote for this man.

I'm not sharing my opinion, just what I've seen.

I expect to see the same thing in Pennsylvania.

God bless black folks

Seems like Biden's terrible approval rating masks the reality that most voters don't want Trump and view him as a vehicle to defeating Trump again

It's almost as though approval ratings have not meant a damn thing in the last few ele--since I've been alive.

Black people, once again, are going to save this country from stupidity.

While I 💖this post and don't disagree with the sentiment at all...

I do wish that Democrats, across the spectrum, would interrogate WHY Black voters ride so hard for the Democrats.

It's not blind loyalty. It's not because we "don't know what's best for us."

Black voters, due to our very history, are the most pragmatic voting bloc in this country. And Democrats should be looking to emulate that behavior, instead of treating us like magical negroes.

Black and brown people always show up and show out to save ya'll white asses and we will again in November.

Get so little in return, talked down upon and explained like we don't know what's good by white moderates but we know what's at stake and what it takes to achieve hard won progress.

Black folks know what's at stake at least

When we do the absolute most to save democracy yet again (like we always do), I hope we get our flowers.

Always saving this racist country's ass, especially the women.

I'm sure there are many people are very disappointed in this primary result

I'm sure of it, I'm so sure of it

2020 Biden SC primary vote: 262,336 (out of 539,263)
2024 Biden SC primary vote: 126,350 (out of 131,315)

HiS nUmBeRs ImPrOvEd

This guy is going to get banned again:

Are we really comparing a primary election with less than 1/4th the amount of votes as the previous one as meaningful of anything?

This is supposed to show that people who vote for democrats are enthusiastic about Biden? Because they didn't vote for Marianne Williamson?
