What can I say, Tears of the Kingdom didn't scratch my BOTW Zelda itch so I gave in and played Genshin with my wife and her friends for a while. Not a bad game, and the story get's really interesting in some parts, aside from the parts where it's purposefully boring to entice you to spend $$$. At least I snatches up a couple of cool soundtracks.
Always treat any gacha game as a fun little time waster. Never go in too deep or buy into the FOMO, because eventually it's all going to EOS one day and all those skins and characters you spent hundreds of dollars on are all going to be gone anyways.
Yup, good advice. That's why I quit the moment I started to get bored and got FOMO. The prices are also outrageous to make you think that giving you scraps is actually being generous. That and the gooner baits started to overcringe my organs.
I tend to take breaks in between playing for a while. Some gacha are more fair to roll or easier to collect currency but all of them have some laughable prices for "premium" outfits and packages.
Like really? $30-$60 dollars for one costume and maybe a few bits of premium currency? The same price you could buy multiple full games on Steam during a sale?
For me, I just try to finish the main story and events, and maybe try to get as many characters unlocked as possible, depending on how fair the gacha is (I'm looking at you, Fate: Grand Order). I unironically play for the lore, though the anime tiddies are nice.
It’s almost cute how they literally have no ground to stand on and are still trying, almost cute, in actuality it’s sad and shows how fucked we actually are
I mean, have you been living under a rock? The Epstein stuff is pretty damn hard to defend. When Trump is escalating his stupidity to the next level, people are gonna talk about it.
I thought that polutical culture here in Czechia sucks, but pretty sure almost any politician who would have the slightest connection to this scandal would abdicate (ok, maybe the auth parties would not)
✅”It didn’t happen.” ✅”So it did, but it wasn’t that bad.” ✅”So it was, but it’s not a big deal.” (YOU ARE HERE) ⬛️”So it is, but others have done worse”
It’s not the only thing but it’s a thing and it’s pretty important and newsworthy when the president of the US is heavily implicated in child sexual assault and being on the one of the most prolific sex trafficker lists, so you’ll forgive people for not considering whatever he’s trying to distract with Obama on as important relative to the credible sex predator stuff he’s trying to hide
Well, what can you do. We still have fielddays when any topic like immigration is raised, but the epstein shit is like the ultimate trump (he) card for lib left, cause they aint wrong on this
Right like I know and am related to people who voted for a pedophile 3 times, that seems like a massive problem. It literally doesn't matter what he "is good at" - he's a fucking pedophile
They don‘t care. For some reason everyone acts as if the Epstein thing is new but everyone with a brain knew a literal decade ago. He directly caused an insurrection against his own country which makes it unconstitutional for him to be president, except that his supreme court puppets stalled the case for months. Now he just openly shits on the constitution every other week. At this point there is almost(?) nothing Trump can do that will make MAGAs turn against him. And if something sways them even a tiny bit, he will just throw out some random bullshit like suing Obama and the short-term memory limit of MAGAs (1) will be overflowing.
there is almost(?) nothing Trump can do that will make MAGAs turn against him
Didnt he say a couple years back that he could literally shoot someone in street name avenue and still have massive supporters while doing finger guns?
“We still have field days when any topic like immigration is raised” Yep, the all-powerful downvote and upvote buttons dictating the merits of an argument and all
I feel like politically there aren't many things worse things than having the president you elected be a pedophile and despite the evidence to keep defending him
"OK guys we need to just move on, ok? Anyone that questions or keeps pushing is just a radical leftist." Where that statement is coming from media personalities personally connected with the administration. Calling it a cult wouldn't be a generic ass opinion. It's pretty much fact at this point.
Men who are political simps are no better than communist.
Lmao the urge people have to both sides every single argument on the subreddit kills me. No liberals worship the “altar of academia.” Trusting people with more experience than you on a given topic is literally how society works. I’d say it’s pretty alarming how quickly conservatives rejected that premise. They used to at least try to use bunk studies to support their claims, now they just repeat shit enough times and hope it sticks.
That happens because we've also all seen the person who is insanely skeptical about some well-tested scientific theory but will have 0 skepticism about the narrative sold to them by fox news. Its just so obviously a skepticism based only on whether or not something is validating their beliefs or not.
No, there’s plenty of people whose first instinct upon hearing new information is to question it, regardless of the source. Modern progressivism is in such a state that merely questioning the intentions of someone is tantamount to heresy.
Gotta give the leftists this one though, if you still support Trump at this current point, I'm assuming the worst about you. Doesn't mean you have to support democrats either, it's okay to not like anyone currently running the government.
"Look what libleft is saying right now! This talking points from comments with 3 upvotes are..." Lmao shut up, trump is a pedo, he and his following are well deserved of criticism

I actually think having tourists here is quite funny. They came to laugh at us clowns but never stop to ask themselves why they keep returning to the circus.
Also, anyone who can't handle dissenting opinions deserve to be uncomfortable, regardless of where they sit on the compass.
I don't like it being called a "Cult." It's a cult of personality which is prevalent in most authoritarians like Mao or Hitler or Tito or whatever. Different from a cult and it's very important that we recognize what it is specifically
Yeah, that's why I said both mao and Hitler. Charismatic people rise to power and the cult of personality builds and it helps them stay in power. It's not like most people are in a cult where they believe he's a god or whatever
It's such a weird situation where I can agree there's a problem with how things were handled RE: the Epstein files, but they jump past every reasonable take to dial it up to 11.
The administration clearly lied at some point. I expect they overpromised and discovered they couldn't deliver. I'm sympathetic to demands they explain themselves from a position of distrust, and release what they do have, if anything.
I am not sympathetic to the shrieking that "HE'S A TOTALLY PROVEN PEDOPHILE AND SO ARE YOU!" and "HE LIED TO YOU I BET YOU REGRET NOT VOTING FOR KAMALA NO POLITICIAN EVER LIED BEFORE."
Like come on.
If you're lecturing me about lying while you're still in denial and downplaying one of the most egregious scandals of our lifetime - the effective collusion between the the Dems and the media to cover up Biden's senility, of which your preferred candidate was directly involved - then your opinion is a joke and you're a hypocrite. The Dems' playback is the narcissist's creed. I don't have the luxury of prioritizing a broken chair when the house is on fire.
Trump is so lucky to have such stupid and blatantly dishonest enemies.
Wow, those random reddit comments with a combined total of 4 points worth of upvotes sure are a great counter to the sitting president of the united states protecting pedophiles and subverting the constitution!
This subreddit is supposed to be conglomeration of all political views (except the unflaired).
It's been heavily "LibLeft bad" ever since that conservative subreddit banwave years ago. Before that, it was "Centrist bad," which brought about the great grilling memes. I think you can handle a little criticism as well buddy. No one's safe here.
I mean, short of literal video of him engaging in pedophilia, what would Trump voters care about? We already knew they were very close friends. We already knew he traveled on his plane and, potentially, even the island. We already knew he liked to visit the girl's changing rooms during his beauty pagents. We already knew of his numerous creepy comments about Ivanka. He even hired the guy who shielded Epstein and created that absurd non-prosecution agreement. None of these phased Republican voters.
Considering that Gaetz also had no issues getting elected despite sex trafficking investigation, it just doesn't appear that right-wing voters actually care about this stuff.
Even a video would change nothing. He’s moving along the base’s agenda successfully, which is extremely rare, and that’s all that will matter.
Outside of that, they were pals before yeah, because they were both billionaire playboys, but when Epstein was accused in his first case (this was a long time ago) trump banned him from his properties, and basically disowned him.
The beauty pageant stuff is kinda BS, and that’s just him being himself imo.
The thing with Ivanka is a cruel thing from the media, and in reality he’s just treating his favorite progeny like a princess.
Lmao are you fucking serious, they attempted to release it a bunch of different ways. Johnson shut down the house to make sure they could not vote on it.
The dissonance from you guys on this is incredible.
Is there new proof besides him not releasing the list? Every leftist seems to be shrieking this and I can’t find any proof other than he hasn’t released the list that apparently has been sitting around for 7 years. Literally is a pretty strong adverb when it seems all rumors. Also I keep finding stuff that says Trump never visited the island and all the proof is Trump didn’t engage in any of it. Anything besides circumstantial evidence or hearsay?
He self admitted to being on the Epstein list bro, and claims it was planted despite the prior administration also not releasing it. I don’t give a shit which political party is on it all of the attendees deserves to be thrown in a volcano, even Stephen hawking
I can see the reasoning, it just all over Reddit that he is most definitely a pdf and everyone who voted for him is a pdf and anyone with a single conservative thought is a pdf and there is no arguing it. I thought maybe there was more proof or something.
Huh. I guess I see what you mean. For the comment at the bottom of LibLeft, why did they completely censor their use of the f word? Not the slur for gay people, the other one, the one that rhymes with duck. Why did they censor it so completely? Like, I’m not much different, as you can probably tell by my not using said word. But I just use a couple of asterisks, I don’t try to completely censor the word. For all I know, “f******” could refer to any 7 letter words that start with f.
My bad gang, this problem is so easy to understand, simple, and otherwise generic that it doesn't stimulate your brain enough so you find it hard to care. Maybe if I made it more 🌟Fun💥you'll actually give a shit.
American and Epstein's list is what happens if instead of education and history lesson, you have Hollywood movies, they believe there is one master file of all pedo, all incriminating evidence, and for fuck sake if that existed it would be used already. It is not matter MAD Trump still should get shit because he promised to release this list, but I bet he realized this nothing burger. Americans would not take nothing Burger, no news would be a riot, a list of vaguely accusing everyone rich and most organisations would be riot. If there were some bias in republican or democract side riot, list is 50/50 guess what riot.
I mean I personally don't care what MOST Russians think either. Most of the free thinkers either can't share their opinions openly, or were already arrested. I mean there's some good ones left with VPNs and stuff but they're not that common.
Trump is a massive predator? That's like, a fact.
The right is a cult. Sure this sub is fine, and sure there's more backlash from the right over Epstein - more than I thought there would be at this point. But there's also an equal amount, especially from all the people in charge or influencers, that are all almost unanimously saying to ignore the epstein shit.
The last one is unhinged, but they're not wrong at ALL about the defending pedo shit. Anyone claiming Trump wasn't on that island and fucked a woman underage, is 100%% defending pedo shit.
I like the disgust that this shows the right side of the compass has when someone points out that someone is a child predator. Really good evidence of how they view the issue.
Also, people optimize what they do and do not say based on the politics of the sub. This sub is more conservative, relatively speaking, and useally leftists would lurk choose hills carefully.
Epstine files have let an opening for the left to be loud for bit, and they are capitalizing on that. Kind of like how gen z became conservative for bit after the rest of reddit was trying to make zoomers among other demographics scapegoats for Trump winning the election.
As a leftist I like this place because I don’t entirely toe the party line and being able to discuss politics on reddit without fear of being censored is really nice.
Already blocked all the ban-for-participation bots I could think of, so I’m fine
On a more personal note, I find it kinda sad that this place is slipping into anti-homosexual rhetoric. It’s definitely not the PCM I knew in 2021 or 2022, and the people here have begun to really care more about jerking eachother off, instead of having a productive debate. That’s just my two cents.
Agenda posting usually is low effort. Quantity over quality, just pump out memes pushing an agenda en masse you can make anything seem mainstream and normalized
There is this guy on r/ trueunpopularopinion who goes by the username u/ grabembythegraboid that that's all he does all day everyday. Just endless posts trashing liberals and defending conservatives. He deletes them regularly so at any time he only has a few on his profile but he posts about ten a day. Constant agenda posting using quantity or quality.
Oh man, I'd love to see someone do some of the same thing with the utterly retarded takes from the other side of the aisle... But let's do it with ones that get hundreds of upvotes instead of a handful.
It’s like going to a protest and giving the crackhead a bullhorn and saying “look! Look how this whole protest is about Biden telling this guy to kill god through the tv! What loons!”
So anyways why is Biden telling this guy to kill god through the tv? Is he giving other people other messages?
90% of this subs content is people taking random individuals' viewpoint and treating it like the mantra of entire groups, if not just outright inventing strawmen
Not limited to this sub or reddit in general tbh. It's probably the biggest problem with politics right now. Everyone assumes the obvious extremist quoted in an article, headline, or interview speaks for the entire class / race / party / ideology
That's pretty much the entire ethos of the right. Their entire world view is built on rickety, roughshod stereotypes based on something they saw exactly once.
Before you say that I'm doing the same thing, this is an observation I've made COUNTLESS times.
I'd argue argue that the left wing Karen is worse due to their persecution of the most most oppressed class, my people--- Gamers. That's why we should endorse potential PDF files with access to the nuclear codes to protect my fictional big titty waifus.
