Yes, they did, and that's why I posted my comment. Why'd you post yours?
God fucking damn it.
"That's an interesting admission" is such a perfect response, hahaha
I guess this is my excuse to watch the anime again, that music and that opening are so damn hype that it's got me considering installing Overwatch of all things
I'm sorry, but I don't think you're asking this question in good faith because I already did link credible news sources. If you think the sources I've linked are not credible, provide credible sources of your own to prove that point.
If you can't do that, that's OK and that doesn't prove either of us right or wrong about this! But if you can't do that, you're just some random person with bias on the internet, exactly like the sources that you yourself claim are non-credible.
The person I responded to specifically wanted independent news outlets, so the fact that none of these pages are "major news sources" is I think exactly what they are looking for. I'm not sure though, goalposts have a tendency to move when it comes to this kind of conversation
I looked for the Al Jazeera article you mentioned and found that the 19-year-old who was killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank on October 6 was named Labib Dmaidi. Then I made a Google search for Labib Dmaidi, filtered to remove aljazeera.com. I hope this helps!
I think it's important to point out here that you think ignorance is "normal"
I'm reminded of this quote from Malcolm X:
"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less healed the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there."
That's not what this is about, though. From the fifth paragraph in the article:
As such, Florida universities are prohibited from using state or federal cash to fund any activities tied to “diversity, equity and inclusion” or “political or social activism,” which carry broad definitions and could apply to a wide range of programs. Schools now are beginning to enact these policies locally.
This isn't about "treating people differently" and it is almost certainly not about race (although it's not lost on me that they waited until the day after Black History Month to announce this change). This is about on-campus activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's about teaching students that America is varied, not monocultural. It's about teaching students that transgender people are just people, not the monsters that Ron DeSantis makes them out to be. It's about broadening perspectives, not enhancing an echo chamber. It's about giving a voice and a platform to non-white, non-male, non-straight, non-cis, and non-wealthy perspectives that have historically been silenced so thoroughly that an entire system of class and privilege was built up around that silence.
There was a good Royalist? I'm guessing you mean Rene, because it sure wasn't Gary the Cryptofascist or Measurehead or the Racist Lorry Driver. Imo the only thing that stopped Rene from becoming someone like Dros were his relationships with Gaston and Evrart. If he had been "alone" the way Dros was then the investigation may have gone quite differently
"Capitalism breeds innovation"
Cuno is a wholesome person who has a misaligned view of what "wholesome" is because of the environment he grew up in and I will die on this hill
It's ok to call yourself an egg, but calling other people eggs is like saying "I know your gender identity better than you do".
I'd say the only time it's ok to call someone else an egg is if it's past tense, if the person has transitioned, and if their transition is public knowledge.
Employers would ultimately see it as not their mess, not their problem. They already pay the minimum wage they legally can, if they wanred to pay their employees a living wage then they would already be doing so. They know that they will lose their current experienced servers, but they also know that there will always be desperate workers who have no choice but to accept the crumbs that are offered.
- Story
The story is currently unfinished, so I can't comment on its entirety, but I'm enjoying the themes and choices they've made so far. It's based on fantasy-inspired time travel and visiting the same areas in different eras of time, similar to Crono Trigger. You meet some characters at multiple points in their life, sometimes changing from friend to foe or vice versa. Finally, the endgame mechanic involves exploring alternate timelines where key events in the history of the world had a different outcome (for example, one timeline explores what would have happened if the gods had failed in their quest to exterminate the dragons).
- Music
The music is immersive and calm when it needs to be, and engaging and dramatic when it needs to be. Ultimately, I felt like it wasn't anything to write home about when I turned it off in favor of my own playlists a few years ago, but the composer has had nothing but time to refine their craft and I wouldn't be surprised if they update the soundtrack for 1.0.
- Environment/World Building/Mobs
I feel like they knocked it out of the park on this one. Enemies in the Ancient Era are primal and wild, the Divine Era is regal and civilized but barbaric underneath, the Immortal Era is appropriately gory and dreary but filled with loving people who still have hope, and the Ruined Era is consumed by darkness and it really shows in the enemy design. The giant reptiles you fight in one era may get resurrected to fight against you in the next; wild scorpions will have glittering gems appear in their carapaces as you near a treasure trove, cultists will grow more mutated as their exposure to their deity grows, and more. Side quests have you time-traveling from era to era to complete objectives in creative ways, and there are even ways to skip parts of the campaign by exploring and completing dungeons, for when you're leveling alts.
- NPCs:
Most town NPCs rarely elevate themselves beyond exposition dumps, although there are some memorable moments; but the characters that travel with you or fight against you are great and charismatic. I like one of the characters enough that I'm legitimately upset that they die, and I hope we're able to save them at some point in the future (or should I say, some point in the past?). Sadly, the main vendor that you use in the endgame is kinda dull and flat and is definitely no Deckard Cain, but that's honestly the kind of feedback that the devs would appreciate and find a way to apply to the game.
- Loot:
Uniques and Set Items have descriptions that build out the world or tell you more about the person who originally used them, kinda like dark souls. Normal/magic/rare/exalted items don't have descriptions and are based on a prefix/suffix system, and unique items can potentially drop with 1-4 Legendary Potential, a stat that allows it to inherit a number of affixes from an exalted item equal to its Legendary Potential. They are also implementing two different approaches to loot by adding mutually exclusive Item Factions to the in-game world-- the Circle of Fortune will increase item drops and add mini-quests to further increase drop rates for specific items similar to Prophecies and Atlas Memories from PoE; while the Merchants Guild will let players trade increasingly powerful items with each other, either in person or through a bazaar (although there will be limited options to trade items with friends regardless of which faction you choose to join, if you spend time together in game)
Last Epoch is a phenomenal game and was worth every penny years ago--I'm incredibly excited for the 1.0 release. It's got just the right amount of build complexity--if making a Path of Exile build from scratch takes a PhD, then doing it in Last Epoch would be like community college (although there's definitely differences in complexity from class to class).
The developers (Eleventh Hour Games) offer regional pricing, so non-Americans aren't priced out of the game, and although servers for online play will be available based on a cost vs demand basis, it is possible to play the game 100% offline.
If anyone has any questions about the game, let me know!
If all you're going to do is repeat ideologies while ignoring material conditions, then that's your call, but I'm done spending my time with you if that's your choice.
What? I'm shilling for a show, not a game. You're letting your anger get in the way of your reading comprehension, my friend.
