It's not eugenics, it's agism.

Eugenics would be about people with bad genes, like downs syndrome or autism.

I think... There was a Tomodachi Life game on the 3DS some time ago...? Never played it, though.

I guess this is Nintendo's version of something like The Sims?

You see a cool feature, I see a potential new vector for Switch hacking.

Really now? Including World War 3?

The same can be applied to all artistic mediums. But it's arguably used most for generating text and images.

He didn't say he hated women. He said he hated that woman in particular.

Firstly, it's not art. I already hate that OP called it that. It's AI generated imagery. There is no art involved outside of art theft.

Secondly, it's legal art theft created by those types of people that either never considered artists to have any value, or have a chip on their shoulder against artists.

Thirdly, at no point in history have artists ever been appreciated, despite art being the most important element of everything. Imagine right now what a user interface would look like without artistic design. Or a car. Or your toothbrush. AI gen shafts artists... again... with the absolutely ridiculously, flippant argument that it "democratises art", as if it's some sort of noble privilege rather than a skill literally anyone can practice.

Oh now we just GOTTA unite with Canada!

It was not skillfully made or imaginative. It was a very basic toybox of exotic nonsense about Samurai wrapped around a premise similar to Dances With Wolves.

I'm not even sure what prompted the use of "gate". What does it mean?

It can be a bit of both. You can tell a good story that also stays true to the historical events. Not being being able to do that shows a lack of skill and imagination.

Except The Last Samurai isn't remotely historical.

Tom Cruise's is very roughly based in a French admiral. That admiral got sent specifically to Japan to create political relations with a certain faction of Samurai to further French interests there. The French admiral was made samurai as honorary title and put into service of the household.

During the final battle (which was a castle siege, and both sides were using guns), the French admiral was released from service and sent home.

If a movie or a series were to be made of this, and if it were to be somewhat accurate, it'd be closer to a political thriller with some battles in between.

I thought so too in the beginning. But the English character in that series is more of a... Useful tool that gets used. He has no agency and he never realises it throughout the entire series.

"How did this happen!?"

Your leaders are absolute fucking morons, that's how. There really isn't anything to actually investigate here.

Joke's on you; neither are OK. The Last Samurai is only good to those with weird exotic ideas about Samurai, Japan, and that time period.

Would be cool if there was a series about the actual French admiral that movie is based on, and all the political miandering that happened in that time.

This is... None of this is important.

Bloody hell, people in the comments getting worked over a social media altercation... On Twatter of all places...

Good. Finally. It's about time.

You know, when you combine the term "2D monster taming RPG" with "absolute limits" literally everyone is going to think taming and fucking.

Anyway, Cloud Meadow exists so they got competition...

Never thought I'd see the day when a Zuid Afrikaans president is less racist.
