Is it just me or does it look more like the graffiti says "scrub" rather than "seriously"?

Did you bother reading the report? It's literally all speculation, with photographic evidence such as "they built a prison" and "something happened to a remote mosque". You are minimising real genocides by speculating that China is somehow committing a genocide that nobody is able to actually evidence.

What do they do? Exactly? I assume you're speaking with some sort of evidence of their alleged infractions, actual evidence with photos that I can personally look at like I can for the Gaza genocide, or the holocaust, or even the 100 year old Armenian genocide? Or do you just have the usual vague handwave that they're totally doing genocide by enshrining their minority's rights in law?

The rivalry goes back nearly 1000 years, with William the Conqueror's takeover, after which he almost immediately went back to war with France. We say frogs, they say rosbif. We say Agincourt, they say Dunkirk. There's a mutual history that makes it an actual rivalry rather than just randomly hating on the French.

And did, for the last 30 years, but Steam now have the benefit of hindsight having seen how the last 30 years of console wars have gone.

China is a genocidal dictatorship with world domination ambitions.

That's only if you fabricate the genocide, ignore their actial political mechanisms, and randomly make shit up without any factual basis. The scary sinophobic propaganda isn't actually real, it's just racism.
Meanwhile the UK is actively facilitating the most widely publicised genocide ever, has made opposition to said genocide illegal, and is currently involved in 3 wars on 2 continents, neither of which is Europe. The rest of NATO and America has similar current situations, and track records that make their current ambitions seem positively milquetoast. It's painfully obvious that you're just projecting the failures of the west onto it's enemies like a good little McCarthyist.

Not remotely - for starters there isn't intense nudity, especially not compared to plenty of others shows, but even if it was and that made it radical, why does some nudity mean people will expect nudity from everyone?

[-] Simon_Shitewood@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

There are plenty of shows where people appear nude, so what makes GoT "radical"? And why would it being radical justify people demanding to see the actors nude?

[-] Simon_Shitewood@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

I don't get this line of thought. Does that mean we need to be mad that Hodor or Arya didn't get naked too? It just sounds like you're saying that because there's some nudity people are owed nudity from all the actors.

The US is an oligarchy, not a democracy, which means Trump, an oligarch, isn't an aberation.

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is proving to be fun but somehow raises the question of "what the fuck is going on and why do I vibe with it?" even more than previous Grasshopper games. Why does the FBI have a space time division that flies about in a time travelling spaceship with a massive wave motion gun on the front? Why has your family come along for the ride? Why do zombies grow from seeds on a farm? Why is your grandpa embroidery now? Why is a senior FBI agent a cat? Who is storing their spices in meteorites? Is the screen currently black because of a bug or is it an artistic decision? (It was a bug)
The biggest question it raises for me though is why there seems to be a generation of Japanese game developers obsessed with videogames as a medium - whether it's switching controller ports in a fight, changing gameplay to a text adventure for dream sequences, or the main character fast forwarding through the villainous monologue, there's a self awareness to their games I don't see elsewhere. They don't just give a nod and a wink to the 4th wall, they aggressively try to pull the player through it to interact even more directly with the gameplay and story. What happened to make them like this? Is it some part of their cultural experience or a formative piece of media? Or are they just a set of weirdos that coincidentally happened to be born relatively nearby?
