“Service men are not brighter than civilians. In many cases civilians are much more intelligent. That was the sliver of justification underlying the attempted coup d’état just before the Treaty of New Delhi, the so-called ‘Revolt of the Scientists’: let the intelligent elite run things and you’ll have utopia. It fell flat on its foolish face of course. Because the pursuit of science, despite its social benefits, is itself not a social virtue; its practitioners can be men so self-centered as to be lacking in social responsibility.”

Having women in the game is fine (e.g. Kat in Reach was well written). I've written women into my own games. The issue is artificial writing and lack of awareness.

It's clear that the devs needed to force more diversity into the story, so they made the new main character a girl, as if everything MUST be 50/50, evenly distributed against all logic.

Then they use the excuse of "lore" to make a poorly written character that immediately berates the player, even though it's contextually ridiculous.

The end result is a cliche girl boss telling the player how terrible they are, in a game where your (primarily) male audience is already very skeptical of forced social politics. But the devs/leads never stopped and said "Hmm, maybe the end result here is not achieving our goals of winning back our primary demographic."

It's tone deaf on top of being poorly executed. And this hurts branding, it hurts sales, and will destroy a studio's reputation (whatever's left of it anyway)

A user HACKED Rotten Tomatoes on the asmongold subreddit (parsed the json data) and found the REAL REVIEW SCORE for Christopher Nolan's film The Odyssey and discovered that out of 886 active users only 498 rated it positivity leaving the true score around: 56.2%

A score of 97% is mathematically impossible (combined with faked ticket sales) and this is looking more and more like widespread FRAUD by the Hollywood Industry on a MASSIVE scale.

Interestingly enough, 56.2% is not far off from the Metacritic data which has normal reviewers (non critics/bots) which rate the film at 51%.

Needless to say despite the reported numbers/revenue (and opening at box office numbers) its looking like smoke and mirrors, the film is being propped up to LOOK like a success but in reality is a CATACLYSMIC financial failure. (might not even break even)

I also have a sneaking suspicion they are manipulating ticket sales buy preordering tickets and very likely canceling those orders at the very last second, otherwise, they are BURNING money ($375 million already) it seems desperate—they are in too deep.

If you ask me Movie Theaters should SUE The Odyssey/Christopher Nolan etc. because they are hurting ticket sales with their dummy seats and its causing people to skip the movie (rather than sit in terrible seats) this is Fraud and I think there is room for a MASSIVE Lawsuit.

And to think, all of this because they couldn't just RESPECT Greek Culture/Mythology and Historical Fiction and JUST. CAST. PALE. ACTORS. and stay true to the source material.

Boys are so alienated, hated, beaten down, used, abused, told they’re disgusting for existing, side-eyed, put under a grueling microscope, expected to take and handle ALL responsibility for everything—even things they didn’t do—unloved, uncared for, emasculated, judged… So alone that they resort to a fucking fake AI program for at least a little tiny bit of comfort. Just a tiny fucking bit 🤏 Because they literally can’t get it anywhere else—not from family, friends, or the people they should be able to trust

And people act like it’s the end of the world. Not for the boys, by the way—for themselves. That the boys are toxic for doing it. That it’s a problem caused by them. That they’re the bad ones and this somehow negatively impacts women

A significant portion of the population has been raised to be unbelievably narcissistic, entitled, and profoundly misandrist—people who don’t seem to grasp basic concepts like empathy, care, accountability, or respect… yet curiously are always the ones spouting them. So many are obsessed with looking good—with vanity—while being fucking horrible in reality. They built and are actively building a culture that hurts young boys, girls, men, and women alike, all in service of selfish greed for money and attention

They can’t even look at boys and men suffering (roughly 80% of suicides) and think,

“Okay… maybe what we’re doing is hurting people. Maybe we need to self-reflect a little—”

"…PFFT. Nah. It’s all their fault. Toxic masculinity, you know? I’m perfect. I had no part in that."

Meanwhile, taking advantage of young impressionable boys and vulnerable men—often sexually—in the middle of a male mental health crisis is not just ignored. It’s frequently celebrated and encouraged. Men’s suffering has been turned into a business model and monetized. Their pain is seen, then they’re tempted with the idea of love and care—just enough to keep them working, paying, and performing

Without that usefulness, that utility, the money, they’re treated as nothing. Worthless. Like they don’t even exist.

People wonder why I’m so passionate about this. I’ve lost friends over it. A lot of people hate me for it. But they don’t hate me because I’m evil or mean or bad. They hate me because I care about these boys (and the girls being misguided too). I care about people—and they don’t

They try to make it look like YOU are the one who doesn't care. That you're the evil one

Boys shouldn’t feel like they need to find affection and care from a fucking AI chatbot. They shouldn’t be living in a culture that makes them feel this alone

It is so, so wrong… and it’s the fault of so many people who can’t look in the mirror for one second and see the damage they’re doing out of pure misandry, or egomania, or greed—not just at others’ expense either, but at the expense of their own children, brothers, and sisters. They’re too blinded by pride, ego, money, and fame to see it. Their self-serving greed is all-consuming while they play the part of the opposite. A Facade

I suppose the real problem with caring about men and boys is that it risks the markets built on their suffering. The reason people hate you for talking about this isn’t because you’re a bad person… it’s because these boys are clients... And they can’t be easily funneled into a client base if people actually start caring about them

[Nekaishi ✟ Kitsune VTuber 🦊🦋 @nekaishi]

From a young age, boys are beaten into shape to suppress their emotions, shut up, apologize when they’re abused, and exist to provide for others. Their purpose is sacrifice. They’re told to die first in tragedies, even if society would spit on their bodies afterward. All while being blamed for the actions of a tiny minority of bad men they have nothing to do with

This disposability shows up everywhere. Men have no say in whether a child is born but can be forced into lifelong financial responsibility for kids they didn’t want—or even ones that aren’t biologically theirs. In divorce they often lose everything, and primary custody goes to mothers in the vast majority of cases (around 80% of custodial parents are mothers). They’re expected to be wallets, pay for everything, and stay silent while being slandered, emasculated, discriminated against, and treated as nothing more than providers

Their trauma and scars are routinely weaponized against them. When men open up about their struggles, the “support” is often performative—people take notes to use it against them later. Genuine vulnerability gets punished. Men make up over 80% of suicides, yet their pain is ignored or mocked as “toxic masculinity” and are blamed for their own suffering entirely—that it’s ALL self inflicted

Meanwhile, our culture has intentionally grown to profit from and exacerbate the problem. Creators from platforms like OnlyFans and Fansly prey on lonely and vulnerable boys and men on 13+ platforms for easy money while pretending it’s empowerment. They worsen the male mental health crisis, normalize sexual degeneracy, and even push young girls and innocent women toward the same path—all while society pretends to care about women’s issues and creates more damaged, broken, used and abused men

They build a sexually degenerate culture, blame men for it, then keep making it worse by peer-pressuring people and ramping up sexual expectations. They blame men even more, go right back to being the core problem EXACTLY like crack dealers profiting off addicts, and virtue-signal the entire time

Every hobby, every space, every conversation eventually circles back to how men are inherently toxic just for existing. They’re put under a microscope their entire lives for things they never did and will never do. All pressure and blame gets dumped on them, even for problems they had no part in

It’s brutal to be a man. Their suffering is exploited for profit, and any attempt to build support for men (like shelters) gets attacked from every angle until the effort collapses and the founder literally kills himself. Even women who try to “experience what men go through” to prove it’s easy discover how unbelievably cruel and unforgiving it really is, and then they kill themselves too because it was so bad

But sure—men have it easy with all their “privilege” and it’s all their fault and self inflicted

GOG has taken a shot at Sony's decision to stop making PlayStation game discs in 2028, reminding people why many PC gamers like DRM-free games.

GOG posted on X:

"Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc, and it's yours forever. You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought."

GOG lets you download offline installers for every game you buy.
That means you can back them up and install them anytime, even without the GOG launcher or an internet connection.

DRM-free games, once you buy them, you can keep your own copy and play it whenever you want.

I've casually observed this in my own life.

When entering an indian-run gas station, I'll start checking the expiry dates on the food I'm about to buy and find that it has (or is nearly) expired. I've seen this in everything from bagged chips to soda.

I've heard second-hand from an employee that one of cost saving techniques is owners buying nearly expired inventory from other businesses (restaurants) and using them in the prepared foods.

I've stopped visiting gas station with indians behind the counter.

[Rock Solid @ShitpostRock]

I will ALWAYS stand by the fact that Imperium are the good guys and they are not cruel by choice but by circumstances they were forced into

They are good becouse they're the only ones still fighting for humanity's right to exist at all. Everyone else is either actively trying to end us, feed on us, or turn us into something worse than dead. The Imperium isn't some shining beacon of virtue it's a brutal, unforgiving and a strict nightmare... but it's our nightmare to endure, and it's the only thing standing between mankind and total annihilation

If a faction is surrounded by enemies who literally want to eat, enslave, corrupt, or erase them, then extreme measures arent a choice. Not to mention that many factions would become more hostile if the Imperium became less brutal. Fear in this universe is a important tool

Maintaining psychic discipline in a galaxy where psychic mistakes get whole planets eaten is pretty important, harshness keeps worlds producing food, weapons for soldiers and new troops and religious fanaticism stabilizes morale when people face literal gods of insanity

The Imperium isnt cruel by choice its cruel because any attempt at softness leads to daemonic possession, planetary rebellion, or species-level extinction within months. Other factions cchoose cruelty because it benefits them. The Imperium inflicts cruelty becouse the galaxy punishes any attempt at mercy

It’s certifiably insane that the majority of the public doesn’t even bat an eye at this.

A foreign born Indian is CEO of America’s 4th largest tech company. Hires another foreign born Indian as CEO of America’s largest gaming company. The CEOs jointly fire Americans, replacing Americans with Indian employees.

Thousands of Americans losing high paying jobs, being kicked down the socioeconomic ladder. With Indians hired as replacements, the money and resources from those jobs that would’ve gone to our citizens will be siphoned by foreigners, mostly to be sent back to India as a remittance. It will leave and never come back to America.

This is definitionally a form of warfare against the American public.

In fact, the Crusaders were very kind to Muslims.

I'm not even joking.

Muslims under Crusader rule were better off than, say, Christians under Ottoman rule.

Following the establishment of the Crusader states, the Frankish rulers pursued a pragmatic policy of relative tolerance.

Of course, Latin Christians held all the positions of power. But for the average Muslim peasant, life was virtually unchanged aside from an extra tax.
