I´ve just watched a movie from the 90s. The 90s, 80s and 70s all have a distinct character. Even in 2006 (when the Wii game out) I could easily identifiy a "90s movie". I was wondering how I would look back at the 00s one day. To be honest, the 2000s and 2010s still do not have a distinct...
I´d choose the ban.
Make up is expensive, bad for the skin and environment as well as misleading.
If a man rents an expensive car to pose as rich even though he is not, many women would view a possible sexual encounter as rape. Yet for women, it is totally fine to wear fake eye lashes, a wig...
Let me finally come out of the closet. I like low-res textures. Is there something wrong with me?
It perhaps started with Twilight Princess. At first I was disappointed by the textures, especially since we had already seen Starfox Adventures at the beginning of the GC era. Over time, I kind of...
-Warcraft I:
In terms of atmosphere nothing beats the first game. Warcraft II was great but more cartoony. Warcraft III looked good but ultimately very generic. Warcraft I needs a remake due to how dated the controls are. There are files to modernize some of the aspects (but I didn´t get them...
Ukraine is a sovereign nation blabla.
China forms some kind of alliance with the Solomon Islands, a sovereign nation.
Australia threatens China. US does not rule out military intervention.

Anyone care to defend or...
I have listed the new playable characters for each series.
Rules:
-Pick half of each series (74 characters would be too much. Capcom hasn´t hired Masahiro Sakurai after all)
-Ryu and Ken are set because they were the only playable characters in SF1
-Special versions of Ryu or Akuma do not count...
Ich hab das Gefühl, dass immer mehr Leute letzteres sagen.
Es regt mich fast so sehr auf wie das Gender-Sternchen, weil es grammatische Grundlagen ignoriert.
´n = ein
´ne = eine
´nen = einen
How do people use controllers in games without Steam?
Windows recognizes my controller and all functions. Emulators work. Steam works.
But what about games that do not use launchers?
I cannot be more specific because we should not perpetuate stereo-types.
The LA Times is both sexist and racist for pointing to men as perpetrators and Asian women as victims, thereby constructing and repeating ignorant narratives.
I have already written to the LA times and demanded they change...
Since 2006 (esp. since 2008) I have been mainly playing on Wii and Wii U. I am currently playing newer and older PC games on a laptop. I wish graphics progression had stopped around PS3-ish era. What´s the point of 4K (unless you play splitscreen on a huge screen), real-time reflection, better...
I mean with regards to gameplay (i.e. DoA Beach Volleyball is different from the main series of Dead or Alive), but you can interpret the question differently, if you like.
Are there any spin-offs you prefer over the main series of a franchise? If so, why?
For example I prefer "Dragon Quest...
Recently the news have been full of the advancement of the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Americans are still bombing them but they cannot thwart the inevitable unless troops on the grounds stay indefinitely. It is similar to Iraq in that many government forces have less fighting morale and abandon...
So I just finished Assassin´s Creed Brotherhood (my first game in the series) and I was surprised to see that the series features a prominent GTA-like police force. The protagonist cannot kill civilians (actually he can but the player is threatened with a game over) but has no problems killing...
Recently I was playing the King of Fighters Anniversary Collection on Wii. KoF ´94 seemed quite unique with having to choose a team of three based on specific countries (though I am not sure why Terry was part of the Italian team).
I think it´s a neat idea. Perhaps Street Fighter and other...
Let´s discuss examples and whether you like or dislike the changes:
Example:
Orcs in the Warcraft series. Ruthless beasts in Warcraft 1 and 2. Romanticized since Warcraft 3. I do not like the change. They even came up with the excuse that the Orcs were under some kind of spell (and changed...
One day Trumpism will be a case study for religious movements.
What they have in common:
-Savior figure (Make America Great Again, Messiah)
-Discussions on how to overthrow government (violence or peacefully)
-Prophecy or "believing in the plan"
If Trump had actually stormed the Capitol and...
Blood samples from 2019 were tested for COVID19 in the US.
"Out of the 7,389 samples, 106 of them tested positive for coronavirus antibodies. Of those, 39 were collected from California, Oregon, and Washington from December 13th to December 13th." (quote from 1st source)
Unless blood doners are...
This thread is for people who genuinely tried to have fun with a game but don´t see the appeal other gamers see in it.
It can refer to games (or series of games).
Let me begin:
Rune Factory: Frontier (Wii)
I sunk a lot of hours into this game a decade ago. I made progress in some dungeons...
So I admit the last thread was problematic because the scope of comparison was limited.
However, the two movements have sometimes been treated very differently in media, e.g. FOX news. So what is your view? Why?
[I personally view both protest movements as riots.]
It's not the movies or games downloads that I would worry about, like breaking into networks, downloading encrypted things, spying on network traffic. I have seen so many "Top Secret" seals on files when I was a kid
I was obsessed with finding UFOs, a surprising amount of US files where stashed on computers in other countries, China back in the early 90s omg sooo much
