And you didn't care so far

This website: overwhelmingly and unanimously pro-Palestine and Palestinian statehood, decrying most of the west for not giving Palestine statehood

Some random scratched lib:

A scroll wheel that requires almost a full turn to scroll one line but also is smooth plastic, with no knurling to help scroll

Libs will just tell you that's fabricated anyway and can't be trusted because it's Soviet

One of the grimmest comments I've ever read, I'm sorry comrade

I have vivid memories of seeing fireflies off the back deck floating over wheat fields all summer long. It was magical, and the fact it's been stolen from younger generations is inexcusable

The TD design with an immobile or mostly immobile turret seems to be viable again

Makes me wonder if the Swedes didn't have the right idea with the S-tank

For those that don't know, the S-tank is designed for defensive warfare. It's a super short tank with an absurdly raked front angle to its armour that makes kt very hard for a round to actually find purchase, and it has its cannon hull mounted, no turret

With how strangely static modern warfare is, it seems like it would be a better design for tanks these days. Split your tanks into S-tank style long range defensive tanks, and bring back light tanks (which every army is starting to do) with the same gun for any type of high speed maneuvers

Oh fuck that does mean that if they do another movie it'll just be a lot of "mr grindelwald your fired sir" before he's imprisoned or some shit

God I hate this series so much

Rowling would absolutely make a magic creature that magically votes Grindelwald out of the power to use magic or some similar thing

This is quite literally the plot of Fantastic Beasts 3

The election for Wizard President is decided by a qilin - a cute deer looking creature that can see the True Heart of a wizard and is used to decide on which of the candidates is the best leader because of how pure of heart they are

So Grindelwald captures a qilin, kills it, revives it through dark magic, and replaces the real voting machine with his rigged one to declare himself the winner, until the heroes show up with the real voting machine which declares someone else the winner so Grindelwald gets mad and just accepts the results and leaves

We know at some point later he duels Dumbledore and dies there but that's it, as of right now he got voted out of power

I want them to keep going because they're so fucking bad

I need to see how they follow up on "we voted Wizard Hitler out of power in the marketplace of ideas!" because there's no way to actually do that without acknowledging that that doesn't fucking work, which is anathema to lib worldview

Gameplay wise it's pretty good, and does improve on what was laid down in 3 and NV, but it also back steps in some ways with VATS being a slow-mo thing and the only way to get critical hits now

Visually it's fantastic. Some people didn't like the art style change but I'm all for it, I think it fits the retrofuturist aeathetic

Story and writing wise it's dogshit. The main story is beat for beat identical to FO3 but with a new coat of paint and somehow even more boring, the characters other than Nick Valentine are boring, and the main villain motivation is nonsense

Solid 6/10 from me, goes up to 7 or 8 when modded

Also at one point the lead writer voices a character and he calls the player character - and player by extension - the ableist R-slur. Gives you a good idea of the respect the writing team has for your time I'd say

Calling them tacos is a mistake but they do kinda slap

The name does need a change though

From looking up the lyrics, there's a use of the K-slur (against black South Africans) in the outro, used to mock someone with those beliefs but still used
