I very much doubt this is the case, the new characters were boring, female or not.

With Gears you need to be playing as Marcus, like playing as the Master Chief in Halo.

Kait wasn't boring.

Not even close to the same thing.

He is literally incapable of accepting that someone else can have a differing opinion. He is genuinely fucked in the head

https://www.resetera.com/threads/found-out-some-disturbing-news-about-my-brother-long-story.663937/?post=98042860#post-98042860

Ugh. My brother went through a fit like this a couple years ago, went absolutely nuclear on my parents and the like, blaming everyone but himself for his problems. Even tried to fake an abuse claim, just like yours did. He actually bought a gun and was plotting to kill my dad with it but someone leaked his plans to me and we were able to stop him and get the gun confiscated before he acted on the plan. I blocked him on social media and refused to speak to him for four years after he pulled another stunt after that.

The silver lining is that he slowly, after alienating everyone in his life, started to realize how much of a shit he was and has started to improve as a person. He's gotten a lot better now, primarily because his wife is a tough cookie who won't take bullshit from him and her family has really helped get him back on a better path in life in ways I don't think he would accept coming from me and my parents. We still aren't close, but I stayed with him and his wife for a weekend earlier this year and got to know his wife's family and they're great people. I text with him every couple of weeks, that's about as much as I'm willing to connect so far.

All this is to say, I know how much this sucks. I don't think our situations are exactly comparable - while my brother was a violent asshole, he never went full MAGA - but people CAN get better. I hope your brother does too. I hope he realizes how he's projecting all of his insecurities and problems onto everyone around him instead of working through them. That's the first step.

I did that to my brother a few years ago after he had a rage break, attempted to murder my dad, and then tried to convince me to let him move in with my roommates and I. Not quite the same thing as cutting off a parent, but I'm just here to say I sympathize.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/anyone-ceased-contact-with-toxic-parent-s.706646/?post=103892891#post-103892891

Dude called me a few days after we got his gun destroyed and was like "hey I'm gonna be there in 8 hours" and I was like "WHAT". When I told him my roommates wouldn't be cool with him moving in with us with zero warning, he ranted at me for 15 minutes straight and then I hung up on him and blocked him from everything. The only silver lining is that he had the good sense to turn the fuck around and drive back instead of continuing all the way out to Chicago.

Coke basically destroyed my brother's life and prompted him to develop paranoia so bad he nearly murdered my dad before one of his friends snitched on him and we had him arrested and the gun taken away. Horrible drug. I'm good with weed and all for people just looking to have a good time with friends, but fuck cocaine.

My brother stabbed me in the leg with a stun gun when I was a teenager and this matches my experience. My entire leg went cold and I could just feel the muscles rapidly changing tension until someone pulled him off of me. Didn't hurt, technically, but it really did not feel good.

And it never seems really motivated by him liking something but solely because the "Chuds" (real or imaginary) dislike something so he has to like and defend it

Expansion news reminded me that the game exists, but I won't be jumping back in.

I mean this guy's definition of being "doxxed" was people looking at his Linkedin. Publicly available information is all top secret actually

To be the absolute most fair, doxxing is typically just the collection of publicly available information. Where you live if you own a home is public info, your phone number if you bought a server or domain might be public info, so on.

Stuff like what he's talking about though is purposeful public information, namely the things you want people to know about you like your name, name of your business, work history, etc. Using that as an example of doxxing is just absolutely stupid.

I don't think Bidens "I won last time because you BLACKS voted for me" election strategy is a very succesful one while he's underwater on nearly every issue they care about but we'll see how it turns out or rather don't turn out

I think she fucked her face up with surgery, and I think that's a real shame. I also don't think that's equal to criticizing how she looked naturally, which seems to be what led to this (why the hell were people criticizing her looks before? She was quite pretty).

I just don't understand why people make these decisions, from BBLs to face work. It never looks right, and I'm genuinely sad for her sake.

If that's sexism to you, I guess.

Criticizing a woman's looks and choice to get surgery and no ban?!?!?

Especially since that woman denied it because Megyn Kelly was pushing a fake news image from 10 years ago, claiming it was a 1 year difference. 

Since they're always on the wrong side of things when it comes to women...I'm convinced she is just aging poorly, using excessive contouring makeup, and probably has an eating disorder.

There are literally monthly threads on this very forum that are solely dedicated to making fun of people for using steroids, even when they themselves claim they never have.

Y'all don't get to pick and choose when commenting on someone's looks for the sake of discussing harmful self-image issues is ok, especially given I'm nowhere near crass enough to join the many assholes doing so on the poor woman's IG page. And anyone equating this to that behavior is a moron.

Please stop posting Forbes contributor articles like they are coming from a news outlet. It has the same level of legitimacy as making a thread about someone on Era saying they think South of Midnight looks cool.

Brilliant Interview. Subscribed!

Great and knowledgeable questions and openings to listen to Todd with clear and honest answers.

I'm really a big fan of the position Todd is in and how Bethesda is outputting. It's fab to have a true fan of games who can understand that yes isn't always the right answer and it's ok to wait.

Very excited about some of the nuggets from this, also the update plans for Starfield.
