"probably some that hunt humans"
Another reason to fear vegans, I guess.

Whoever is in charge of scheduling at Wimbledon should be shot for putting this boring match on before nadal vs Djokovic. It was obvious this would go on for a stupidly long time.

Hmm, annoying indeed. Glad it's finally on, but Djokovic and Nadal are on a strict curfew now.

Japanese indie game trailers.

It's always 75% character artwork, 10% cutscene snippets, then maybe 15% actual gameplay at the end.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

Bonus points for when the in-game footage is subject to so much zooming / pan-and-scan / rapid cuts to other footage / other effects etc; that you don't actually get any feel for what the game is like :evil:
Though that one is definitely not unique to JP trailers :|

I really don't like a lot of how games are advertised lol

YOU POSTED SOMETHING RUDE DIDN'T YOU (・`W´・)
Can you not delete your posts? Little "X" icon in bottom-right. >_>
It's gone now, because I've posted this! ;3
It's useful when you post something in the wrong thread, like I just did putting this in "It Made Me Smile" !

Because of hilarious rude tweets! :(

Well no, the little boy stuff is pretty vile, I'd agree, and it wouldn't terribly surprise me to learn Hollywood was harbouring a nonce. But I'm European. Here a man can brutally rape a ten year-old boy and receive favourable treatment because he was experiencing a "sexual emergency." That doesn't make me laugh, it makes me think of putting one in the back of a captive skull. You gotta laugh sometimes. Image

Apparent fixation on child sex aside... why the fuck would you post that stuff under your own name? And leave it up?! NO SHIT DISNEY IS GONNA CURBSTOMP YOU IF THEY SEE IT. Brianna Wu is smarter than that!

Did he want them to see? Or did Hollywood give him a false sense of security? Hmm. >_>

Was originally going to post a clip of Gilbert Gottfried, doing "The Aristocrats", in response but would the farms spoiler tags be strong enough? :mrgreen:

My guess would be that they knew. When the broader public knew too, they had to let him go.

Those posts, combined with the fact that he was a virtue signaller, is what would give me pause.

Still, its only words. From what I've read, I probably wouldn't agree with his politics but public indignation can go fuck itself.

The lack of self awareness from Price here is amazing.

Edit: Just noticed the tweet was from before the current drama. But still funny and she probably would stand by it. Oh and by all means is it the correct stance, but she seems to think it shouldn't apply to her.

Fucking wew, man. I'm actually just deeply concerned.
deeply concerned that someone was stupid enough to post shit like that with an actual name attached
Some of them seem like ordinary, stupid shitposting... but some of them just seem fucking nasty. Like, fuck.

One one hand, I'm not too fond of seeing dumb shit said ten years ago dug up against people... but on the other hand, what you say does matter, and if it doesn't now, it might later.

man, I was going to make a joke and it turned serious as I typed it:
imagine an employer googling your user name you've been using since you were 12 and coming across some flame post you wrote in your teens calling some idiot all kinds of spiteful shit, and you were rejected for it
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Plugging in your 360 for the first time in a couple of months, only to find that, despite having worked with no problems previously, it suddenly no longer reads discs.

H'aanit's Old English dialogue in the Octopath Traveller demo, even though it's supposedly accurate, still doesn't belong there because it's said not to be in the Japanese release. Not likely the developer's intention, & seemingly solely the work of the localization team. She was the first character I chose & I found it quite annoying. I'm trying not to let it give me a bad impression but I can't help feeling like it sucked the cool factor away. Between that & the very title of the game itself bothering me I'm gonna have to pass.

I did speed my way through the 3 hour demo by skipping any dialogue & found it to be pretty good in all other respects. Hate to let a little thing like that ruin it for me but I have trouble investing in the mostly generic stories of fantasy RPGs as it is. I'm not even into the lore of Souls & that's my favorite modern series, even though what's there is pretty good by comparison to all the amnesiac princes & effeminate elven lads of the world.

The person digging up James Gunn's deleted tweets to get him fired from Disney is Alt-Right troll Mike Cernovich.

Cernovich is a failed army soldier, failed lawyer, failed pickup artist, and failed husband living off his successful attorney ex-wife's alimony who found his niche as a pizzagate conspiracy theorist. Yet he still failed at InfoWars but we'll get to that later...

He now tries to get people fired by digging up old tweets or sometimes makes them up entirely. He's the one who got Sam Seder fired from MSNBC for a week until cooler heads prevailed. He's also come under investigation for making false allegations against Chuck Schumer.

Here are some of Cernovich's own deleted tweets. Did I mention he was arrested for sexual assault and plead it down to a misdemeanor battery?

Image

And yet, he's fucking hilarious to watch. He's such an awkward weirdo that even Alex Jones couldn't have him on his show a second time. (This is the video that made him go after Sam Seder, btw):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f1zrJUa5-s

The Gunn tweets were deleted years ago and Disney is fucking up just as badly as MSNBC did when they took Cernovich's bait and fired Seder. Hopefully they come to their senses too, because Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is the only quality film to come out of the MCU.

Ah, Mike Thernovich. No more fitting soldier of reprisal as this neopuritanical shitfest (hopefully) descends into tit-for-tat bloodletting. Good luck shaming that character, never mind firing him.

I almost hope they walk it back, just for the potential self-inflicted damage to their brand as they promptly step on that landmine of a firing statement re: Gunn. I want nightmarish mutually unsustainable carnage on all sides.

It's been 28c in my room all summer. With the door open. Goes up to 30c with it closed. I'm currently enjoying a rare morning where it's not a billion degrees out already and it's only 25c at the moment, although I'm sure that'll change by mid-day lol.

Of course, outside it's been "feels like 35c-40c" for months .. lol

@Xyga : Europe is burning too? Here we're having the hottest summer ever recorded. Farmers are having a hard time growing grass to feed the cattle. catastrophic summer for them

my body has a really hard time tolerating heat, harder than for most, so this is a pure nightmare for me

35°C here, but living in the southern half of Europe/France it's not unsual this time of the year (last year was much worse with similar temperatures but for like 4 months straight with barely any rainfall), worst I've experienced was 43°C some years ago, even up to southern Germany you can have days flirting with 40°C the hottest summers.

What's unusual are news reports of what's happening further north in the UK, Canada, Scandinavia...indeed :shock:
