They havent even proven that much
And Africa is still a bunch of shitholes
Well, they prove the alt right right...
Black Panther was an altright movie
Replace everything with white, and people will yell racist.
Ethnostate that refuses refugees or helping other nations with their advanced tech
They see nothing but skin color
And that annoysme
@Deleted User Exactly. That's postmodernism mixed with postcolonialism (the academic field). Postmodernism or more specifically poststructuralism is, as the name suggests, about deconstructing everything. ie. Tearing everything down (because it's all racist and sexist). Postcolonialism is a branch of critical theory coming up with babble about how and why the western world and everything emanating from it is racist.
That "science must fall" case was your perfect example.
Its weird, because in the comics wakanda was like saudi arabia
Except instead of oil, it's Vibranium
You know, sometimes it's like it's the academics that are more retarded than the general public
@GingaBomber
"Through the black magic, you are able to send the lightning to strike someone. Can you explain that scientifically?"
-interrupts- "it's not true"
-some time later- "see and that response is why I'm not on the science faculty...western modernity is totalizing...you need to de-colonize your mind"

Wakanda is a fascist state! Really. Autocratic rule. Militarized population. Strong emphasis on "the nation". Isolationism. No foreign trading or immigration. And Wakanda will've had to have colonised land to have created itself.
'fallist' lmfao
@Sarah Jessica Farter wakanda isn't fascist, it's a constitutional monarchy
IIRC the guy who interrupted was thrown out shortly thereafter after challenging the speaker to 'use your voodoo to strike me down"
They have a book of rules
Proto-fascist then
And there's the king and smaller leaders
It's more like the UK
In the comics, that is
UK isnt fascist, fingers crossed we'll get there though ๐
In the comics they're fine with white people
And all races
They never even know about slavery and stuff
@Deleted User "I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University." -- William F. Buckley
Yes
Agree
Ah ok. I havent read the comics. I'll take your word for it, thanks for the correction. I think what we still could say though is that the SJW love for Wakanda makes them hypocrites.
Lol sjws would hate normal wakanda
They co operate with other countries, trading vibranium for tech
Free trade, full on capitalist
What makes it special is that it's like Wonka's factory
But vibranium
Literally everything in vibranium
From insects to the grass
Oh really? Shit, I'd only read reviews of the Black Panther film (I didnt even see it) and I got quite a misinforned view of Wakanda then.
Dude, black panther is one of the only series I like
In marvel
Cool. Wish I was into comics and stuff but it passed me by growing up. I have friends who talk about their love for Marvel and I have nothing to contribute to the conversation sadly.
I got into marvel cos that's how I started learning to read
Daredevil and punisher comics lol
Ha! Nice ๐
If you're interested, I highly recommend reading Civil war. It's a masterpiece
Nothing like the movie
Cool, is it online or something you got to buy?
You can get it online if you know where to look
Heheheh
I know what you mean, I'll keep an eye out!
I was too fucking hyperactive as a kid so I spent all my time playing football and stuff like that. Wish I was more into more sort of artistic stuff, which I include comics under. Even video games I know nothing about. I'm too restless for them even! ๐
Well, the only reason I learnt to read is because we shifted to another state, and my dad couldn't get a TV
He bought me a bunch of books
I think the first book I've read was Punisher edition 127 or something like that
Lots of gore lol
That's why you like your Serbian films then! You started young!
But the first serious book I've read was The Complete Collection of Sherlock Holmes
I read the Three Kingdoms I remember
I dont know what phase I went through
My friend (the one of Pakistani parents I keep mentioning) adores the Sherlock Holmes books.
but Id read just... Really wierd books
I despise the cumberbatch series so much dude
Hahaha! Big Benedict!
I literally hate every single thing about it
Wakanda in the comics were dickbag who didnt help stop the slave trade. They dont like black plebs
Except Watson
Watson was great
They fucked up moriarty
Watson will always be best boi in any iteration of sherlock Holmes
They fucked up Mycroft
They fucked up Irene Adler
They fucked up literally everything you could possibly fuck up
I love the loyalty of sidekick characters like Watson. We all wish we had a Watson to rely on.
Nah, that's not the thing
Watson isn't complete loyal
That's why I like him so much
Sherlock keeps manipulating him
Ah, well as usual, I haven't read anything. So Watson was more innocent then than Holmes?
You know Wilson in House MD
That's what Watson is like
Ah ok, yeah.
He's his own guy, but cares way too much about sherlock
He betrays Sherlock sometimes cos he was too worried
You know, make House a really well behaved guy, and well dressed, and a good fighter
I like that dynamic in stories too, where a relationship is unequal. That's how pretty much every human relationship is. Then we realise our relationships aren't perfectly mutual which can cause insecurities and sometimes poor decisions from those insecurities.
That's sherlock
Yeah, I've no doubt the writer of House was inspired by Sherlock (among many other characters from literary history).
Dude I just realised
Holmes
Homes
Houses
House
Hahaha! Shit, you could be right! That's probably not just a coincidence.
Also Arthur Conan Doyle was a doctor...
And house lives in 22B
like 22 Baker Street
Dude
I cracked the code
Hehehe
He was from Edinburgh, Conan Doyle, same city I'm in right now. Apparently he based Sherlock on a real life doctor acquaintance.
@Deleted User You're right, btw. I'd never noticed the connection before.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0412142/trivia
"Dr. Gregory House was based on Sherlock Holmes... but Holmes, in turn, was based on a Doctor that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle knew while studying medicine, Dr. Joseph Bell, whose specialty was diagnosis".
Jeez
`Hugh Laurie was reportedly earning $50,000 per episode in season one, which dramatically increased to $700,000 per episode in season eight.`
Also one more thing
No version of Sherlock got this right so far
Sherlock doesn't use guns
He literally whips people
Kinky.
Carries one of these
A bit Indiana Jonesish
Wtf I hate the environment now
how DARE trump do things!
If environmentalists are ever annoying you, just remind them their movement was started by the Nazis. Shuts them up every time.
https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/of-nazis-and-other-nature-lovers-1.5236743
Haaretz is a garbage site.
Literally far left propaganda.
Sure. Which makes it all the harder for annoying environmentalists to argue against!
It'll induce some great cognitive dissonance in them.
Sherlock did use a gun in one of the original stories
lol, don't listen to people that pay you, listen to us, the moral supremacist faggots
That's the Best Advice.
@Uksio It's actually an even worse headline than that. The distancing quotes put around fans insinuates that those with the wrong opinions aren't *true* video game fans.
Of coooourse, of course, the people that play the game, love it with all heart, and buy merch to see more fo the good stuff, those are but "fans"
Only mao and stalin are your true best fans
well good for me then ๐
i dont listen to any of ye!
Glad some of these companies are getting punished โget woke, go brokeโ
thats the whole point i think
Donโt listen to people that do not have my written approval!
Im super happy that companies that are virtue signaling and going the sjw route are taking financial hits , its a crappy ideology that they are taking and the biggest company Disney are reaping the benefits of attacking their fan base its a shame though that they chose the star wars franchise to test this
The problem with star wars is not disney, its the remains of lucas films
How so ?
Disney installed kathleen Kennedy
Lucas films is doing the movies
Lucas films isn't Lucas films
Yeah but disney is pushing the social justice muh diversity ideology
Almost none of the og people who worked on previous movies are there
Disney owns lucas
It's like saying it's Bungie's fault Destiny was bad
Lucas isnt lucas anymore
Thats why i said their remains
Dude
No.
@Deleted User correct , Activision shit on destiny bungie is a part of Activision
@I AM ERROR remains dont matter
Over half of the original members of bungie were laid off dude
What the fuck
Same thing happened to Rare
If you shit in a gold toilet as opposed to a porcelain toilet the quality of shit doesnt change its still shit
Anyone remember Rare?
I memba rare
They are split meow
Banjo Kazooie, Conker's bad fur day...
And now...Kinect Sports
Rare had a part in that microsoft pirate shit err ship game
The new one
Sea of theives?
X bone exclusive yes @Deleted User
Sid meier worked for rare? ๐
Did he @I AM ERROR ?
You said pirate ship game... and sid meiers pirates is the only pirate game worth talking about ๐
Sea of Thieves had great potential, but its a flop
Get woke go broke works because the people that subscribe to this postmodernist cultural marxism are lazy talentless leeches with plenty of unearned entitlements, 0 experience and lots of self-righteous moral supremacy in their heads
nah thats not it at all
@Dr.Wol i never played it but i watch a few YouTube news vids and from what i hear is yes a flop
These people ruin everything they associate themselves with
Recipe for a guaranteed failure
@Uksio also they donโt use the products that they want changed or are customers of said products
companies go woke and go broke,
Because they make the mistake that "What the audience complains about is Criticism, AND that they KNOW what they're talking about"
And they think that cuz they brand themselves as "We listen to our fans blabla" that the fans will somehow show loyalty and all go buy it
but these loud idiots wont buy it they'll just complain
Jeremies video about jim jeffries that he released yesterday hit the nail on the head about this
Other extreme is listening to your market researchers and investors though
But at least this strategy pays off in the end
Companies confuse outrage mobs with zero interest in their products with an actual target audience.
listening to market researches is a flop too
and investors will tell you to remake the same game
lesser flop
no, absolute flop ๐ look at that company uh
@Dr.Wol @I AM ERROR exactly the outrage mob are not customers they are just the outrage mob
Tale of Tales?
who made that shitty game about being a cleaner during some racist period in the 30's
So far the most surefire way is just being true to your craft
Genuine quality will always have a fanbase that will pay
they took advice from a "professional games critic" (the one who wrote the Gamers are Dead article)
@Uksio agree
i forgot her name
Staying apolitical may help too
Jessica Price lel
@Uksio depends
Make a product and make is as good as possible. Really hard concept to grasp.
no, its that annoying journalist that hate games
You mean the one that complained about black buffy?
@I AM ERROR this is tru but also stay away from politics and dont choose sides
no, that has-been
Lee something?
curly hair
wrote a book about her experiences as a games journalist
told people on twitter she was glad they lost their jobs etc
Donโt know who you mean but that sounds like a really lovely and upstanding member of society.
right Leigh Alexander
that was the name
had to look it up
anyhow
you guys are making the typical mistake though with "how to make video games"
Cuz what you guys said is basically:
"The key to making a good game, is to make a good game"
It starts with,
1. What game do you want to make in broad terms? (FPS? RPG? RTS? etc) doesn't have to fit the category but defined
2. What is a good sellable Idea? (Some unique gameplay things) that other games don't have so you stand out
3. What is the experience i want to give to people? (Good story? solid gameplay? amazing graphics?) something that makes the user get horny
Kek
Yeah. Just make a good game.
๐
yes
funny though, she's the definition of an artsy person who didn't achieve in life, so settled and got salty
Cuz she was a games journalist / critic
But she hates video games
Heres that story yes
As the story goes, "Tale of Tales" hired Leigh to promote their game "Sunset". After getting all her jurno friends from sjw sites to give them free press (she bribed at least one of them via Patreon), having them take up ad on RockPaperShotgun and getting them heavily featured in "Raise of the Indies" (an indie sjw propaganda documentary), the game flopped. Advertising to sjws and allegedly even bribing Anita Sarkeesian herself to promote them (and getting nothing in return including their money) was pointless because they criticize games but don't buy them, and everyone else who was tricked by these sites into buying Gone Home last time knew better than to fall for it again and buy what was literally a house cleaning simulator.
The company ended up having to be shut down because of major losses caused by Leigh's failure and their own financial mismanagement leading to the game only selling 4,000 copies (including sales and people who already bought it by donating to the KickStarter) and the creator went on an insane rant all over the internet about how much he hates capitalism and gamers for refusing to buy his propaganda.
One of the head lawyers at the firm i work at was a marketing lawyer that failed ...we call him jabba the hutt cuz he actually looks like jabba
@Dr.Wol yeah she def part of the gamergate shit , this is what started it
a 40 sec guide to that flop ๐
"This game is so pretentious it just gave me a film school degree" ๐
but most important fact about video games
They're just hit and miss, all you can do is increase your odds by trying to make the game fell fulfilling for the person
And don't shit on your actual audience ๐
Oh my GAAAAAAWD!!
NO
YOU FUCKING 'MURICANS KEEP YOUR DAMN SOY PRODUCTS AWAY FROM ME!!!
KEEP YOUR CUCK-JUICE OFF MY SOIL!!
Soi
The energy source of a male alli

Fried soybeans with mushrooms, capsicum, onion, and prawn
Eeww i hate anything from the allium family
Im down with prawns and shrooms though
I substitute prawn with beef sometimes
Dude, fired capsicum is great
