Someone who likes MegaTen a lot and is a masochist playing RONDE currently from Stage 1 to 37 in full for documentation reasons.
Also pain.
Lots of pain.
@jd777perfection@realpatriotrod It's both Kosher AND Halal. They did this by removing animal-based rennet which could contain non-permissible substances. That fufills the requirements (as far as I understand).
@kiwitalkz@LForeverblue I think Sony gave up on that completely can changed everything they planned to do cause of that and given Kojima's record, they thought it wouldn't be worth it given his track record and it's very likely that PHYSINT is years and years away, probably 7+ years if I'm guessing.
@sora5mark@ValiantLyon@bad_takes Which is the problem. Kojima... isn't exactly good at drawing in more money for a game.
Does he make good games? Yes.
Are they ridiculously expensive to make? Yes.
They take too long to make? Yes.
Are they profitable? Not really as of recent...
@KeithErrday@bad_takes That's the main issue. Corporations are driven by profits, and Kojima's games are simply just too expensive to develop and take too long to make just to draw in some alright profits. I can see why Sony probably got rid of him for this given they saw the writing on the wall.
@JamesC4478@McAnnJello@ThatOneGalaw I'm not saying they're any better, but compared to Microsoft, Sony's reach is somewhat more limited. I think we all forget besides Xbox, Microsoft literally are the ones that control Windows and all they have to do is patch in some form of DRM inside of Windows to wreck it all.
@MyOhMy32169@SofarmFood@hwinkler4real Could be many reasons, low income, parents are disabled due to an accident/circumstances, financial difficulties due to raised rent, cut wages, suprise bills, and so on. Most parents try to care for their children and sacrifice themselves for them.
@morganvon2@hwinkler4real You're a citizen of this country. Our tax dollars should go into investing into the growth of our country and the future, and feeding children in schools so they can succeed in one step towards that. Better than blowing more on the military or dumb vanity projects.
@SarahR4043@hwinkler4real Because no child deserves to go hungry because thier parents cannot care for them or are having severe difficulty in doing so?
@FKinks80@hwinkler4real It's often because it's outsourced to companies who provide the same catering to prisons or the military. Our kids (and likewise soldiers and even prisoners since they are human still) deserve better than what they get.
@LockwoodRocky@hwinkler4real Why are we punishing children for something out of their control. They should be able to at least have something to eat regardless of who they are.
@DougZ151@hwinkler4real This is literally the bare minimum. If anything kids should be able to eat breakfast and lunch at school rather than skip meals because their parents cannot provide for them for many reasons. Don't punish children for something they don't control.
@Keystone_smokeE@hwinkler4real Most rich kids are in charter schools or in private ones. Besides, if other states can provide school lunch to kids for free, North Dakota surely can. No kid deserves to go hungry at school. If we can feed prisoners and soldiers, we can feel schoolkids.
@IssakFreel183@hwinkler4real We have a society for a reason, and no child should ever go hungry because of their parents. it's no longer the Stone Age, it's 2026. We can provide food and drink for all children in schools at the bare miniumum.
@Bacongunsbeer@hwinkler4real Because children are the future. Neglecting them and just screwing them over creates worse-off members of society who would resent the previous generations.
@alex_finja@marromcarneiro@goyatollah But it also included the massacres and persecution of many Jews in the process before the Holocaust truly began it's hellish start in 1941.
@matt__okc@BurgStrau@goyatollah Hell, four days before the Polish government hanged him there he wrote to the Polish State Prosecutor that he regretted everything he did there, that he ran one of the most cruel places on earth and begged that no one forgets everything that happened there.
@matt__okc@BurgStrau@goyatollah The Nazis themselves documented the Holocaust. Hell, the guy that ran Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, literally told EVERYTHING he knew when he was running it during his war crimes trial in Poland.
