I am an old veteran who is watching the events through a lens that is painted by my experiences around the world.
I enjoy speaking on entertainment, especially video games, and politics. I believe the two are interwoven in a way that few can understand.
I am not nice though, just kind.

🚨#BREAKING: THE LONE MALE HOLDOUT JUROR IN THE LINDSAY CLANCY TRIAL HAS BEEN REVEALED TO BE…
…A BLACK MALE!!!!
The White liberal female jurors have been trashing a BLACK MALE this entire time.
The @POTUS and Federal government in general need to stop giving money to state governments.
Instead that money should have went directly to ghe vicitims.
Democratic traitors, like @EstherManheimer, should have NEVER been trusted.
It has been revealed that the City of Asheville, NC, will reportedly rebuild only 8 houses using the $225 million grant it received from the Trump administration following Hurricane Helene.
That's correct…..Eight.…out of 11,488 damaged homes.
The city allocated only $3 million for home repairs.
Meanwhile, $14.9 million was allocated for “administration.”
That means nearly five times more was allocated for administration than for repairing homes for people affected by the disaster.
And that's not the worst of it….
More than 100 approved families are reportedly currently on a waitlist for assistance that they may never receive.
After receiving the $225 million federal grant, Asheville residents deserve answers about exactly where the money is going — and how much is actually reaching families whose homes were damaged or destroyed. @asheville@AvlWatchdog H/T Deep Leaks
Insomniac’s Narrative Director Says Wolverine Feels ‘Yearning’ for Sabretooth and Their Rivalry Has ‘Room for Love’
“Logan feels that yearning and he gets scared and pulls away. Sabretooth feels that yearning and it makes him hurt and want to lash out to exert that hurt outward. Hate and love are so hand in hand. You hurt me so I’m going to hurt you, and we’re still going to be linked because now the pain is shared.” -Insomniac Narrative Director Walt Williams
Well, we lost a real one. @grunt2a isn't coming back to x. He was banned for 'inauthentic activity' whatever that means. What good is building a following if you lose it every few months? Yet copypasta bot farms from india run rampant.
To reiterate, this is bullshit @elonmusk.
I want to voice why I have a problem with Lucia as a playable protagonist in GTA.
Mainly because, I've seen some mutuals suggesting that disliking this means you "hate women" or that it's some sort of sexist belief.
Let's make something very clear: female protagonists in video games... are completely fine. But it is preferrable for it to make sense. For example: Lara Croft is a master of gymnastics, and she leverages her agility/flexibility in her fighting style. Not to mention, she mostly relies on guns.
Bayonetta aka Cereza is a fantasy character. It works perfectly fine, because she acts as more of a fantasy heroine. The same applies to characters like Tifa, Agrias, etc: they exist in a fantasy middle ground, where they can believably work as strong melee fighters. 2B is an android... the list goes on.
Video game developers have historically always made sure that their physical fighters who are women, actually fit logically/in the context of their game's world or story. GTA6 is a different story entirely, because GTA is and always has been heavily grounded in reality.
Obviously a lot of the feats you accomplish in the game would never happen in the real world, but that doesn't matter. We're discussing immersion, not technicalities. You can think of immersion like a rubber-band: our brains are willing to "stretch" what is believable, but if you stretch it too far, the rubber-band breaks.
Luca is a 135lb Latina who can literally beat the shit out of 3+ dudes with her fists. For anyone with a normal brain who understands GTA, this is going to absolutely shatter their faculties. It's taking GTA and stretching it into more of a fantasy, than a grounded crime game/story. Maybe you personally don't have your faculties broken by a small Latina woman being able to fist fight three dudes in GTA who would absolutely fucking destroy her, but I do.
This doesn't mean I hate women. It has nothing to do with my feelings for women, in fact, and everything to do with how I perceive/process fiction and fantasy. I've never viewed GTA as a fantasy, so seeing a character like Lucia being able to rely on brute strength and fighting ability to overpower 3 men at once is jarring and cringe.
And this is intentional, by the way: western video game developers have made it their open and outspoken mission to erase the lines between fictional men and women. They want to push the narrative that "everything men can do, women can do just as well!" It's the product of a modern, ideological agenda whether the GTA6 diehards want to admit it or not.
If this was the Rockstar of old, Lucia would have a completely different fighting style. She wouldn't be boxing with 3 dudes and winning. But because the western games industry is ""progressive"" now, this would be considered sExiST and misoGynisTIC. That's what makes it fucking retarded and annoying: your excuses and "buT u cAn flY ouT of a cAR anD surviVE" talking points are irrelevant.
Poor Islamists, you really have been treated so badly...In fact, my greatest fear whenever Islamists run planes into buildings or rape tens of thousands of poor British girls is that a single Muslim might feel slightly uncomfortable at the rest of us being upset by it.
Feel free to go live in whatever Islamist country you would feel safer in, Mehdi.
NFA update:
There are obviously a lot of suppressors getting out into the world right now.
To the point that popular and low price ones are very hard to come by at wholesale right now.
Every day, the more suppressors that end up in the hands of the citizenry, the harder it is to walk back where we are at and where we are going.
Keep it up, make it impossible for the left to undo our progress
