Gamer food for a gaming friday for a gaming boy

GaymerGays?

>>390597 STOP BEING JAPANESE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>390595 There was a time when you all stopped giving money to this company & we're way past it.

>>390595 Prime choice for OP. lol

>>390600 >Giving money to Game Workshop >>390601 holy shit, lmao.

>>390600 >Releasing this shit just as it's too late to cancel Space Marine 2 pre-orders All according to Kek-kike-jew.

>>390601 Bane?

From the previous thread Chartfag 2: Retards strike back >>1010465 >This list was put together by the Woke Content Detector Steam group. Oh no, they're letting fame and celebrity get to their head >>1010530 >they could try presenting it as something we consider a legitimate resource. Like that one eceleb did that grabbed one of our infographics when we were still in early development (I don't have the image on me right now and nitter keeps dying on me)? Yeah I'd like to avoid a repeat of that. You know, we keep saying we need to make resources like this for normalfags, and then every time a resource like this gets made, it's always the most retarded human being imaginable managing its creation. DEI detected is the only exception due to it being grounded in facts that anyone can search and verify independently. What gives? Anti woke grifters can't be actively worse at creativity than woketards, THEY MADE DUSTBORN!

>>390607 >Arbelist is the reason to not play Darkest Dungeon. No one tell him the Thorn exists. A blind girl fighting? Impossible.

>>390603 I cancelled just fine and I bought it a month ago and played some.

>>390607 >Anti woke grifters can't be actively worse at creativity than woketards They can be when their ideology is built brick by incestuous brick to mirror the opposite of what others parrot.

>>390607 Absolutely, completely without any nuance or irony, this is Luciano tier retardation. Honestly surprised he didn't make this shit himself.

>>1010350 I hate the "action action action" meme but he's not entirely wrong. The general consumer does scoff at turn based and erroneously think it was a product of technical limitations and not trying to emulate D&D game mechanics. Especially when modern consumers still scoff at anime artstyles. And before you bring up Baldur's Gate, currently that is an exception and not the rule and that game's visual are fully western. It's not equivalent to the JRPG. >>1010465 >>1010546 >>1010549 >>390607 I'm so tired of retards like this and Kabrutus. Just because I somewhat agree with them ideologically doesn't mean they aren't stupid as fuck.

>>390597 > .jfif

>>390607 If i had time and patience i think i would do one these chart myself, i'd try add what could be woke and what could be themes/evens that are anti-woke, not try to be absolute with ratings either >>390612 BG3 wasn't that big because of turn-based either , it advertised itself with sex

I think with those last few posts in the thread, the list can be tossed out as reeking trash. I dunno, have Astolfo subverting expectations with a representation of what transitioners think will happen in real life that's only possible in 2D. >>390612 As pointed out in the last thread, Atelier Resleriana launched globally, and that's a turn-based command RPG, so he's lying out his ass. Also, Sakura Wars tried turning itself into an ARPG to reach more players and cratered.

>>390612 >Persona 5 >Dragon Quest >Pokemon >Divinity Original Sin >Darkest Dungeon They're not the biggest titles in the entire industry but I think you're reaching a bit there considering those titles and even Baldur's Gate shows despite your claims Turn-based Games can still find a stronghold among audiences. Even Square Enix was surprised at Bravely Default's success as a turn-based RPG despite their attempt at turning Final Fantasy into an action RPG and managed to fail despite aiming for the "wider audience." Throwing away your established audience for a potentially bigger one rarely pans out well.

>>390616 *They're not the biggest titles barring pokemon.

>>390616 Fair enough, but games like Pokemon and Dragon Quest survive on brand power alone that the Atelier series simply does not have

>>390611 I'm learning so many fun things about games I never would've heard of and would've had no interest in otherwise. And that this guy's way more perceptive than I am, and his definition of woke unironically extends to the real world being alarmingly woke by his standards. He's gonna become Billy Usher 2.0 at this rate, liberals will use his list as a "SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE" list the same way they did for the Traitors of America list. >>390612 Only other turn based games I can think of that the west likes are XCOM and the card game genre. And >>390616 's list >I'm so tired of retards like this and Kabrutus You and me both, don't wanna "thought police" people but the alternative is letting retards like them, ecelebs, our resident namefags, etc, having free reign to shit all over the place. >>390614 Would be smarter, but that would need to be handled with great care and would need some consensus from others who can intelligently define what a "woke theme" is. You'd have to do a lot of the heavy lifting yourself anyways considering how little he's given you to work with.

>>390619 The first thing would be to define such things, using terms like "DEI" is pointless it's better to go for the core of their ideas and have a well structured base on what you are doing, as well as even if a certain game might be woke but if their devs support that shit i'd just recommend pirating it instead.

>>390619 >I'm learning so many fun things about games I never would've heard of and would've had no interest in otherwise. And that this guy's way more perceptive than I am, and his definition of woke unironically extends to the real world being alarmingly woke by his standards. He's gonna become Billy Usher 2.0 at this rate, liberals will use his list as a "SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE" list the same way they did for the Traitors of America list. It's what happens when you take a zero tolerance stance instead of being a fenceshitter because pozz goes back further back than most talking about it have been alive, and most don't want to spurn their favorite entertainment going all the way back to childhood, when they were innocent and ignorant of pozz.

>>390621 I want these people to make such a list for anime but they would be based enough to dismiss it all as tranime. I kneel.

>>390619 Billy did nothing wrong apart from sperg a bit and we all have those moments.

>>390623 That's just it though. When you take a fully consistent zero tolerance stance, you go insane. Because everything is pozzed. Everything has Jews behind it. And you have to point. It. All. Out.

>>390618 Yakuza was a series that started as action but rebooted itself as a turn-based RPG, and yet that gameplay change just catapulted it up the charts even more. It's one of the few series SEGA can point to as not having messed up, and its wacky Japan setting with blatant asset reuse explicitly flies in the face of what those retard producers are following. The DLC bringing the action gameplay back with Kazuma Kiryu returning, on the other hand, flopped in the West (YongYea not withstanding). >>390620 DEI and ESG were great terms because you could find citations easily. It cements that the companies are only practicing and implementing these policies and guidelines because they want their credit lines to remain open. Thus, it stinks as disingenuous because it is disingenuous in the first place, as the company itself does not believe in the ideology but nonetheless sells itself out for a perverse external monetary incentive. This is why you see Inti Creates and Aquaplus, for example, continue on as normal because they're not publicly traded KKs and they can raje in money just fine from players liking what they've put out. The list creators are retards because they're declaring themselves the judges, juries, and executioners instead of sticking to a tried and true definition. Hell, the only games that are consistently "non-woke" according to them are children's games like Pajama Sam. It's neopuritanism all over again.

>>390619 The "traitors of America" list was based on cataloguing those who expressed open support of BLM during the riots, burning and looting in the Summer of Love (and was actually accurate in its assessments since all of said companies/outlets/people were far leftists to begin with), this is a gaggle of egomaniacs going too far on a pendulum swing.

>>390624 Anon, zero tolerance is important for certain things like censorship and wokeness because its almost always a slippery slope. Yeah, there's a reasonableness threshold of course, but people will also eventually be forced to learn that if you give your enemies an inch, they take a mile. In this particular case, the intent of the creator should be looked at. In Japanese creators cases, the overwhelming majority of them have no interest in pushing wokeness (excluding the recent DEI/ESG incentives that seem to be luring them in) and thus should be taken heavily into consideration when judging their works for alleged wokeness. The only Japanese creator I can think of that would genuinely be woke is probably Uchikoshi. In western creators' cases, the intent is pretty fucking clear and obvious in most cases what they're trying to pull.

Had to type this whole post out AGAIN thanks to website issues. >>390621 >>390624 I hate purity spiraling, I hate fencesitting, I hate commies, I hate being a nazi for having slightly conservative opinions. I know where the line of tolerance is for myself and that's all I really care about, I'm just fighting for the majority of upcoming content to be within that line again. Can't we just go back to when political activism in entertainment was a hyper niche thing that made you look like a fucking lunatic regardless of your home team? >>390622 Go back to >>/cuckchan/ >>390625 Yakuza also exploded in popularity thanks to Yakuza 0's antics making the rounds in internet memester spheres, Yakuza LAD was the first game to ride that popularity wave in the west and was likely some westerner's first first-hand experience with the Yakuza series. >as the company itself does not believe in the ideology Hmmmm, what about the true believers that don't need gubmint funding, the ones who'd push the ideology for free? >Hell, the only games that are consistently "non-woke" according to them are children's games like Pajama Sam I started noticing that too, thank god that the BEJEWLED series is kosher. >>390626 Extremely radical in it's accusation that ABSOLUTELY EVERONE on that list HATED AMERICA, plus who would actually stand up against the entire REST OF THE NATION and say >BLM Bad >Floyd deserved it though or any similar statement and be willing to lose everything for their ideals? Some on that list even condemned the riots specifically, just pointed to BLM charities or said Chauvin should've been arrested for murder (it was manslaughter at best). >>1010612 Not even remotely close to what was said.

>>390628 >condemn the riots but support BLM I saw none of that.

>>390625 See i'd go more after the companies and devs instead of only the games themselves, obviously there are the ones butchered but the cancer is in the industry itself, the definitions i'd use would be the ones that are used by the same creators of these ideas but i like to be a bit flexiible in this case because their entire thing is about twisting definitions and meanings to suit their goals, so simply using theor specific definitions without thinking isn't the best thing. Also i'm way past my tolerant past so i'm very quick to judge, my first and biggest advice if someone wants to give a game a try it's to pirate it,always. If you can't pirate it, just wait don't be an addict that need to consume or play a game just because it's out.

>Play devil's advocate >Get sick of half-assing it, decide to give it a rest by parodying an Anita Sarkeesian quote <Nobody notices and they all take it seriously. >>1010616 >Lucy Nobody but you calls him this, just like hardly anyone but me calls him Lucario. But I stopped when no one else picked up the term. You keep going with it despite it not catching on. Why?

>>390631 >engage with people seriously <be surprised they do the same to you Anyways, there are probably some people who believe what you said unironically, so I felt it worth addressing.

>>390632 >>engage with people seriously I was pretty obviously hyperbolic, on top of giving everyone a giant hint that I was not serious in the second half the second post. Does no one here even remember who Anita is anymore? Am I that old?

>>390633 Nigger I remember the fucking /anita/ board, but that doesn't mean I'll remember every retarded thing she said a decade ago, especially when you parodied it in text form and she said it in a video.

>>390631 >nobody but you No one gives a shit. Literally no one. Go suck off your imagined boogeymen somewhere else. >him You're him.

>1010621 Speak the devil's name and he shall appear >>390629 I remember at least Critikal did that >>390631 >>390633 >parodying an Anita Sarkeesian quote I wouldn't have known because who remembers that nobody nine years after her relevancy? I remember she couldn't name three games, but actual unironic lines she said? I don't like looking retarded or autistic, but if I was brain damaged enough to remember that, it'd be ten times more autistic than whatever I said tonight. >>390634 >/anita/ I took one look at that in the archives and was horrified. I've never seen a more sick and twisted fetish.

>>390633 Anita broke out around a decade ago and the typical poster's an oldfag aged 25-35, most of us remember her.

>>1010630 It's not. You're quoting the wrong person.

>>390636 >Cr1tikal React streamers flip-flop after enough backlash and he's the king of doing so. None of their opinions are genuine. (In a roundabout way I guess that means he wouldn't be a "traitor to America" per se, but only if that position were more unpopular than popular) They rely on guessing what the consensus of the average normalfag towards major events will be for maximizing their demographic appeal. Either way I've got a grudge against that faggot for unrelated shit, so I say "fuck him regardless".

>>1010630 Piracy is not boycotting.

https://archive.fo/EiPMz Dustborn was funded by gibs for "market potential," claims Norway as it lies to save face >[Disclaimer: This article cites information provided by the YouTube news outlet Midnight’s Edge. This article’s author has a personal and working relationship with the channel’s co-host Tom Connors, and is friendly with its founder, Andre Einherjar.] Never let be said that #GG had no impact.

>>390641 Norway's honestly got way bigger problems than funding shitty games, take a look at their royal family for example. The king only has 2 kids, both of whom married horrible people

>>390597 Dang, what are those Kaiji things? Yakitori flavored peanuts? Whatever it is I miss Jap snacks... >>390605 I saw Nikka whisky at my local Italian place and decided to have a pour for the memes, it was expensive but really good. Very sipp-able. >>1010532 They keep it very ambiguous in both versions, and it basically plays out the same. It is referenced less in Japanese material but there is absolutely ambiguity in the Japanese materials on purpose. The thing is the Jap fans are pitifully ignorant of the entire motivation of Arksys/Daisuke to shove it in there (being, to court the new rainbow audience), their response is basically "naruhodo the lesson is to be true to yourself" and then still tagging their pixiv art of Bridget getting dicked with male tags. Either way 90% of people are going to see the "bad" ending because who is going to actually sit try to beat arcade mode in one go without dying to literal cheating CPU bosses. It's worth identifying concretely that this was a deliberate change by Daisuke. It's not like some accident that the localizers dreamt up (but of course, Western wings of Arksys could be pushing for it). He's a westaboo and he knows what faggots are. Everyone knows years ago he said Bridget was made because he thought it'd be interesting to have a guy in girl's clothing, and now with Strive the troons are trying to pretend like Bridget was always meant to be a tranny, disregarding how any context this is presented in is actually a shitty look for trannies. It's like when people try to push Kanji being gay in Persona 4, when the entire point of his arc was that it's fine for even a strong guy to like non-masculine hobbies and that you probably shouldn't call people faggots for it. Any arguments with defenders of it can be shielded by the ambiguity set up by Arksys and how they presenting Strive Bridget, and even if you have them on the defensive they'll always have the bigotry card. ("Why can't you just let people be happy?" is a funny one.) It's incredibly goofy how Guilty went from the cool FGC savant game to the actual cancer-to-be-avoided community that has a bunch of alt-pronoun sex pests running amok. And you can tell that tons of players are holding their tongues on calling it out. The monkey's paw of "make Guilty Gear a popular game" happened and nobody wants to admit it.

>>390640 Using the word boycott for avoiding funding a company on principle is perfectly sound. To state or imply otherwise is a bastardization of language as we know it.

>>390644 Piracy undermines the purpose of a boycott regardless, it implies there is something worth playing.

>>390645 Unless you're going around talking about the game it undermines essentially nothing. Piracy can be a form of boycotting. It just isn't necessarily a form of boycotting. Unless you have a better word for the behavior of only buying second-hand and pirating to circumvent funding studios on principle. But all normal English speakers would just express that as a form of boycott.

>>390640 >>390646 I remember some Harry Potter boycott that was okay with people reading the books if they were obtained second hand.

>>390646 Many people will talk about games after/during playing them, this board exists around vidya discussion after all. Remember that one huge EU study which showed piracy for all kinds of media (except large hollywood movies) actually helped sales?

>>390648 >Many people will talk about games after/during playing them, this board exists around vidya discussion after all. Which would fall under the category of pirating without the intent of boycotting. As I said, piracy is not necessarily boycotting. >Remember that one huge EU study which showed piracy for all kinds of media (except large hollywood movies) actually helped sales? I doubt the accuracy and legitimacy of that claim and study. Even if true, the overwhelming majority of piracy is not done with the intent to boycott, so it's irrelevant to my point.

>>390649 Well, his point was that piracy undermines the point of a boycott, which is fair to say because many of those people (who are often the kind who will publicly say shit online) will likely talk about the game in some way or form, does have an effect of marketing if they actually like the game in some way.

>>1010656 Discussing a pirated game is only advertising if it's positive discussion of the game. If it's shit, and you talk about how it's shit, that will turn more people off the game, and reduce potential sales. <But it would be better not to talk about it at all! Someone somewhere is going to talk about it. Better to shit on it than to let there only be positive discussion of something that is garbage because only people that like it are talking about it.

>>390645 >why would you want to play video games? guffaw

>>390647 The genshin impact boycott over whitwashed alohaniggers also said it's fine to play it as long as you only spend gacha money on other costumes or something.

>>390653 Lmfao

>>390605 >Browse liquor import dealers to get me a bottle of nigga whiskey >Find out nigga whiskey doesn't exist >The real product is Nikka Whiskey from the Barrel Fine, I didn't want your shitty nigger whiskey anyhow. It probably tasted like menthols and fatherlessness.

>>390607 >What gives? Anti woke grifters can't be actively worse at creativity than woketards, Look at Comicsgate and the cartoons made by DW or some other right leaning organisation. All are fucking garbage and I take particular issue with Comicsgate since, they created the same poorly drawn/coloured/paneled slop as sjw Marvel/DC but with cringe conservative paint.

>>390647 >>390653 Ironically leftists demonstrated through these pseudo-justifications that you have to wholeheartedly reject the product or else you justify escalation and you capitulate/cuck on your cause. It's like how vegans tend to fall off their wagon of only eating plants by claiming that, say, eating fish and eggs "doesn't count," and eventually they go back to eating meat through these steps. This is demonstrated in a Simpsons episode where Lisa starts to eat the bugs (pre-WEF), but then extends her exceptions to shrimp and realizes she's just trying to work her way back to being an omnivore and abandoning her moral convictions to sate her desires. Piracy tends to help as a form of marketing, and if you reject the pozz on that front as well you kill it dead in its path. This is the difference between Star Wars now being regarded as a property actively losing money and viewed as uncool and Harry Potter still smashing sales. One audience held firm, one audience cucked and still shovels money towards a TERF, validating the opinions they despise.

>>1010674 >an unironic signaturefag Heh

>>1010668 Yeah, it's probably easy to "responsibly" pirate+boycott, play the game isolated, not talk about it with others, don't let anyone see you play it. But personally if I were to pirate and play something I know is pozzed I would still feel like I could be made into a potential customer. It is just actually easier, for me at least, to not partake at all. I think making that decision to just go cold turkey with a lot of games has actually been a relief, because I never have to think about that game again. It is just a game, it is incredibly easy to not even consider play it. Like I'd feel like a complete bitch if I let EA, Ubisoft, or ActiBlizz games take any amount of processing power from my brain.

>>1010674 >>390644 >I'm not a poorfag I'm """""""boycotting""""""" You can only boycott things you can actually afford

>>390656 Can you show some examples? I'm not a comicsfag so I don't even know what to expect out of cringe conservative comics.

Video Games

>>390657 >It's like how vegans tend to fall off their wagon of only eating plants by claiming that, say, eating fish and eggs "doesn't count," and eventually they go back to eating meat through these steps Eating fish or eggs would make them a pescatarian or vegetarian, respectively. I still remember when veganism was still unheard of and most animal rights activists were merely vegetarian. >This is demonstrated in a Simpsons episode where Lisa starts to eat the bugs (pre-WEF), but then extends her exceptions to shrimp That's not really an exception. Shrimp is also an insect. >This is the difference between Star Wars now being regarded as a property actively losing money and viewed as uncool and Harry Potter still smashing sales. One audience held firm, one audience cucked and still shovels money towards a TERF, validating the opinions they despise. The Harry Potter boycott I'm talking about predates the TERF shit. It was back when one of the books was accidentally released early in Canada which pissed of JK Rowling so she got the court to order people not to read the books. Richard Stallman promoted the boycott, if not started it. It probably didn't do so well because nobody cared and it wasn't like the government could enforce the ruling anyway. https://stallman.org/harry-potter.html

>>390661 Yeah, I was the only one who bought the made in abyss roguelike dungeon crawler :(

<<1010682 I'll boycott feeding listnigger (You)'s

>>390660 And that approach can be extended to normalfags too, as the situation with Concord and Dustborn has shown. Massive "ignore it and move on", to starve the cancer. It was made possible by exposing the pozz on all fronts, and focusing on it. That is the only talking that should be done to any of those games. Relentless exposure of pozzed content (and the corruption from the ones funding it), until boycotting those becomes the norm. >>390661 Nobody falls for your fallacy. My money, my rules. My money will never be spent on anything jewish or pozzed.

>>390656 Eh, nah. Even if you think comicsgate is bad, the mainstream comic companies can always one-up them in terms of sheer awfulness.

>>390668 Is Marvel still trying to push these characters or did they fad into obscurity. >>390659 >>390661 Its luciano.

>>390669 Never officially put in a comic.

>>390668 >Is Marvel still trying to push these characters or did they fad into obscurity. They disappeared and The New Warriors reboot was silently cancelled before they could even make a proper debut.

>>390668 >>390669 Holy!!! Did no one ever look at the artist's fucking name signed in the drawing?

>>390663 Making fun of Lucano for being too poor to play videogames is technically videogames, or at least, more videogame-adjacent than the usual nonsense. >>390667 >me being a broke hobo is actually a moral stance! The church of commieism has monks now? Neat. >>390669 I know

>>390675 I'm not sure if the people responsible of this shit are old men commies who have no idea or just shitty californian commie kids who have no idea.

>>390662 The example that would be more relevant to /v/ would be Earthworm Jim. The original creator, Doug Tennapel, got the rights back, or at least the rights to make comics, and he put out an Earthworm Jim comic. It's pretty cool. Another big one is called Cyberfrog. It's by a guy named Ethan van Sciver, who was basically the biggest artist in the industry, partially responsible for making Green Lantern popular (along with writer Geoff Johns), until he got blacklisted for not being a commie. Another one I've read is called Jawbreakers, and it's basically GI Joe, because the guy who made it is a former Marine and loves army shit. He's notable because he's basically the guy who started Comicsgate, Richard C. Meyer. I heard he got the rights to do actual licensed Expendables and Rambo comics after, but I haven't read them yet. I think he has a lot of stuff out now, mostly war and crime and detective stuff. I don't even think he has much if any straight superhero stuff. And he's basically the founder of Comicsgate. Apparently there's drama and I think two or maybe all three of these guys don't like each other now. I don't know. I like each of them individually, though. Doug Tennapel and Ethan van Sciver were already two artists whose work I really liked, well before they got blacklisted. Meyer was one of the first to really make a dent and get the commies that ruined the mainstream industry squirming, so I respect that, and Jawbreakers is a pretty decent GI Joe knockoff. Also, even if you don't like any of the work that's there right now, the main thing is that Meyer and the rest got the door open and established a workable model. It's much easier now to make your own indie comic, and not have to go through some company like Marvel or DC or anyone else. In fact, the whole reason Meyer even had to self-publish like he did was because when he had a publishing deal with a very small "indie" company, Antarctic Press, industry bigshot Mark Waid, probably most famous for Kingdom Come, called up the company and threatened to destroy them with his connections, which he could likely do since he actually is one of the biggest in the business, and Antarctic Press wasn't even the publisher's day job. And to attempt (and fail) to connect back to /v/, Kingdom Come is the story that Injustice is loosely based on, where The Joker kills Lois Lane and fucks up the future. Only in Kingdom Come, Superman just retires, he doesn't become evil. But instead a new breed of edgy superheroes comes in (commenting on the edgy state of the industry at the time), and eventually Superman has to come back and fix things. It is itself loosely based on a treatment by better writer, Alan Moore (of Watchmen and V for Vendetta) called Twilight of the Superheroes. Also, Kingdom Come's story is okay, but really it's good because of art by Alex Ross. Anyone who reads it is really there for Ross, not Waid. But anyway Waid is famous. People also liked his work on The Flash, most notably "The Return of Barry Allen," (which isn't the one where Barry actually comes back. That's in "Final Crisis" and "The Flash: Rebirth). Some people also like Superman: Birthright, which is the fourth or fifth major time Superman's origin has been retold (and slightly altered) in a canon comic. That one has some problems, though, like he made Superman have soul vision and said he was a vegetarian because seeing meat makes him sad because he can see the dead soul hanging around the meat. This Soul Vision was only referenced in like one other comic ("Lex Luthor: Man of Steel"), and Birthright was very shortly after made non-canon by Infinite Crisis/52 changing history, and replaced with Superman: Secret Identity. But no matter what Waid does now, every reader hates him and you can't speak his name among comic fans without people wanting to spit at his feet. So the point is, because Waid pulled that shit, and showed that Indie publishers aren't so indie, even the ones that weren't already outright commie, like Image or IDW, Meyer had to go truly indie, and when he showed it could be done, many others followed, including big names like Van Sciver, and now it's pretty well established, and pretty doable. So if you don't like what Meyer or Tennapel or Van Sciver or anyone else is making, at least you can make your own now, which you couldn't realistically do before, unless you wanted it to just be a webcomic.

>>390677 >or just shitty californian commie kids who have no idea. It's this. The old men, even the commie ones, are legitimately autistic for comics, and almost always tie in even "new" characters into some old deep lore. When it's something like this, that's just pants on head retarded, that's just some affirmative action hire lesbian that never liked comics in the first place. The old men are only there because they got in back when the only people who would want to work in comics were people who actually liked them. The new lesbians are there specifically because they want to destroy comics, just like their ilk got into video games to destroy them, and every other industry you can think of.

>>390679 Still, fucking internet gas. It's like something from the mind of a commitee who never used the internet.

>>390607 Took a peek through the chart again and noticed it lists Sea of Stars as having "no woke content" despite there being blatant proof of the contrary. Whoever made this shit is either a falseflagger or actually retarded.

>>390692 >And an e-celeb Yes. I did explain that. The others started as already famous comic/cartoon/vidya creators, but Meyer got famous for his Youtube channel, then segued into selling indie comics, mostly stuff like the Expendables and Rambo, and also literally Expendables and Rambo, since he got the licenses. >In which Superman saw Lex Luthor's Male soul No, that doesn't happen. I once saw someone on this board post an edit that tried to make it look like that. It's not about that. The premise is that the story is from Luthor's point of view, and he feels like he is giving up everything he loves to save humanity from an alien that he sees as soulless. He feels like Superman can't understand humanity, and specifically Luthor (Luthor feels he represents humanity), that he can't "see my soul." Superman responds with "I can see your soul." If you never read Birthright, this comes across as just being Superman saying that he does understand Luthor. It leaves you, and Luthor, to think of what Superman means. Does he mean that he can see Luthor's soul is evil? Does he mean that he actually does see Luthor's soul and actually does have empathy for him, as a lost soul? But if you had read Birthright, which came out only shortly before, you might read it as just a reference to Superman's stupid Soul Vision from that comic. I guess the other metaphorical meaning would still be there, too, though. Basically, Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, works just as well, or actually better, if you don't realize that Soul Vision shit is literal. There is no tranny shit in that book. It's from 2004. It's about Luthor making his own superpowered robowaifu to fight Superman. Since she fights Superman, he's in love with her, even though he knows she's a robot he created. But she's his hope. In fact, her name is literally Hope, because he's also posing her as a rival superhero to gain the public's affection. It's a very good graphic novel. Highly recommended. >If Comicsgate is was so great then why do I keep hearing people here say it sucked? They might be talking about something else. I don't care what you think of individual books. I thought a few were okay, but I haven't had enough interest to read a lot of the output. What does interest me is that it's opened the doors, so now it's much easier for anybody to publish their own independent comics. That's what matters.

>>390693 >No, that doesn't happen I know anon, it was a joke

Just like video games, comics were fine before turning into capeshit.

>>390696 Blame the moral crusaders again, if it wasn't for "Seduction of the Innocent" (Which ironically attacked cape comics more than anything else, saying Batman and Robin were fags and Wonder Woman was a lesbian) we never would have gotten the comics code authority and thus would still have all the horror, crime, war, etc comics that were actually interesting instead of just endless capeshit.

>>390697 You say that, but here and now fifty-plus years after they repealed the Hays code for movies, and most of them are capeshit, as well. I think it's inevitability, mister anderson.

>>390607 >Anti woke grifters can't be actively worse at creativity than woketards, THEY MADE DUSTBORN! See, there's an underlying assumption to your line of thought that it's their non-leftist beliefs that allowed them to make good work which illustrates why these scammers take advantage of those desperate for an escape from the SJW apparatus. The sad fact (that even I didn't realize until after seeing would-be idols turn out to be kikes in it for themselves) is talent knows no creed - as >>390621 pointed out, there are plenty of beloved IPs who were created by leftists or by normalfags too cowardly/apathetic to have principles, just as much as you have right-wing guys like the Earthworm Jim guy Tennapel or Rayman's Michel Ancel (before Ubisoft's diversity hires broke him during Beyond Good & Evil 2's development). The thing was, the franchises were first and foremost interesting and most of us were young enough to not give a shit who was behind the veil because we were having too much fun. That's what you need to look for: what's actually interesting. You're well within your right to boycott the moment you learn an otherwise fun game has an anti-white dev in charge (tit for tat at this point in the fight for the West's culture), but the moment you start focusing on whether a game's interesting because of the personalities involved, you're gonna defend garbage. It's similar to those Kikestarters who tried to cruise by on the star power of "we made [x] and we're making a spiritual successor, you can trust us guise!" (Mighty No. 9, Yooka-Laylee, that Suikoden-like with niggers recently) >>390678 >even if you don't like any of the work that's there right now, the main thing is that Meyer and the rest got the door open and established a workable model.

I really hope that anon from a few threads back who was planning to make his own comics publishing firm (the one who pledged he'd never allow Capeshit) has a plan to deal with this. If he wears his beliefs on his sleeve, he'll end up in the same position.

Those sales are inconsequential in the face of the lost sales from bad PR, and bad PR is better than just the good PR that would exist in a void if only shills are the ones talking about a game. You think the general discussion across the net about the flop of the decade, Condord, is boosting sales more than hurting them?

Without going into it, the current average office environment will kill any passion in a person, and retail moreso but in different ways. It leads to idpol where all you care about is never knowing discomfort because it's what you're due, what you deserve, and that eventually manifests into intolerance of other opinions. The problem is that nothing changed in people, while the economy changed for the wrelentand now their incongruities are twisting their arms until they either break or relent, but every form of media is telling them to hold fast.

>>390726 I became less woke over time, now I only like SuperStraight™ people.

>>390717 >Without going into it, the current average office environment will kill any passion in a person, and retail moreso but in different ways. That's just corporate America. Most of the rest of the 1st world works less hours per week for full time, has around 6 to 10 times as many vacation days per year, and despite making only half of what Americans make per hour, have immensely higher quality of life because goods are more than half as cheap. But the USA can't have labour laws because "That's socialism!". Wage theft by making workers work outside of official work hours without pay, either by getting them to stay late, or by making them take calls outside work hours, by dollar value is one of the, if not the, biggest kind of theft in the world, outpacing even petty theft by niggers shoplifting and robbing stores all over the 1st world. I think Americans only just start fighting against wage theft in recent years. The country is insane. It's no wonder everywhere I work I have to pad out my hours with pointless busywork that does not profit the company, everywhere else just works less hours for effectively greater value.

>>390729 > and despite making only half of what Americans make per hour Scratch that, I meant yearly.

>>390729 >either by getting them to stay late, or by making them take calls outside work hours Oh, and getting people to come in early for "prep time" before "real work" starts. And talking to employees about work during breaks, and having unscheduled meetings at the end of the day that go over the end of the normal work day. Et cetera.

>>390736 >I personally don't care if someone is a tranny I do, trannies make me physically sick. It's like motion sickness, where your brain receives two opposite inputs from your senses (being stationary from your sense of motion and being moving from your eyes) and it fucks everything up. There is an obvious man who is trying to pass as a woman. That's wrong on such a fundamental level that it's encoded the very DNA of most lifeforms on this planet. When I was a kid there cartoons cartoons like Tail Spin that would have a crossdressing episode. Some character would have to get dressed up as a woman, and usually the villain of the episode would get the hots for the obvious crossdresser. I hated those episodes to much, I cannot put it into words. That was before the internet or any other "muh evil nutsee" influence I could have had. I consider people who do not have a disgust for trannies to be on the same level of mental damage as people who do not have a disgust for shit. I do feel sorry for people who suffer from this delusion, but the moment you start going through the butchery process I lose all sympathy. It's one thing to be a pervert, it's another thing to force your perversion on the rest of society. > I wouldn't mind the alphabet people if they weren't such massive puritian faggots. They would not be alphabet people if they weren't massive faggots. It's part of their nature.

>>390726 (checked) >calling people eggs Everything these degenerates say and do seems intentionally designed to disgust me. >>390734 Can't, twitter banned me a while ago. >>390736 >I personally don't care if someone is a tranny, it's when they try to force censorship and representation where it doesn't belong is when it bothers me I was the same way until I noticed the cultish methods they use to indoctrinate and influence other people into mutilating their bodies.

>>390739 If they're just people who want to live their lives then fine whatever. If they're outright grooming kids then they need to be put on a cross to die.

>>390729 The rest of the world indeed has a better compensation to productivity ratio, but the upper half of americans still have more disposable income in the way that matters for them and the economy. Having $2.5k/mo in disposable income doesn't lead to as many types or quantities of frivolous purchases as $5k/mo indulges, and a non-insignificant amount of jobs in nearly every country eventually lead to products that cater to people in that class. I can't speak to why other countries have gone to shit besides assuming it's an estuary of integrating american culture into their own culture, or access to the shit opinions of purposefully uneducated drones. >>390737 To be fair it's part of the work contract. Negotiating standard work hours helps define overtime for such meetings and to recognize anyone doing so voluntarily for promotions. Not negotiating means companies don't have to respect your time. If they don't hire you because of that, you dodged a bullet.

>>390731 Considering the typical trend of Gamergate supporters-turned-traitors, they either jumped ship when (((big tech))) started cracking down to curry leftist favor or were mindbroken by some stupid shit like Trump winning and Discord groomed them while they were vulnerable.

Negotiating standard work hours helps define overtime for such meetings No, it's illegal for your boss to have you work outside working hours without pay in the USA now. It's non-negotiable unless you want to work for free for no reason. >to recognize anyone doing so voluntarily for promotions You mean to recognize them as "meets expectations" on their performance reports while hiring their friends for the positions you could potentially be promoted to. Remember how tons of tech sector workers were refusing to stop working from home after the scamdemic? Remember how one company only said "if you don't come back to the office, you won't be considered for promotions"? Guess how many of them went back to the office. That was Americans getting a small taste of the freedom from corporate slavery that other places enjoy. The USA is second only to Asian countries in how poorly workers are treated. >Not negotiating means companies don't have to respect your time. If they don't hire you because of that, you dodged a bullet. Yeah, you can go work somewhere else, but companies put profits first, and if there's an overabundance of labor, and no labor laws in place, they will treat their replaceable workers like slaves because its most profitable. Good fucking luck negotiating shit in the USA. 95% of places you go to will outright refuse to hire you if you refuse what's standard for the country, and the few that might tend to be looking to hire based on recommendations from within the company, not based on resumes and interviews from general applications. >Having $2.5k/mo in disposable income doesn't lead to as many types or quantities of frivolous purchases as $5k/mo indulge >Chart It's not just necessities that are cheaper though. More disposable income still means less if everything is also even more expensive than that extra income can cover.

>>390744 Oh my bad, I forgot disposable/discretionary income isn't the term for what's in your wallet after standard living expenses like food and housing, I had some relation between cost of living and net income in mind like the wealth map. The lower half doesn't matter for this case, their income is already mostly accounted for, in america this would be -$25/mo for someone earning $20k, and I believe $200/mo for someone earning $40k when you account for better car and proximity to work. I can't really analyze the data to show better proof but I believe the US is the largest importer of things that arent just food, building materials, infrastructure, mass France seems to compare but it could just be from selling luxury goods like clothing and culinary products. >No, it's illegal for your boss to have you work outside working hours without pay in the USA now. It's non-negotiable unless you want to work for free for no reason. Lots of things are illegal but people are clueless or are far too timid to say no. Those workers were bank employees if I recall, for JPMorgan Chase or some investment firm. Working as expected and "quiet quitting" to pass promotions is perfectly fine in my opinion, but in the case of those bank workers, they would have been mass laid-off if it didn't look bad in stock news.

>>390747 It wasn't a whole ton, but it's still disgusting to see. They literally buck broke themselves to death because of Trump

>>390757 >infrastructure, etc.

>>390756 The thing is that Nikocado is clearly a humiliation fetishist grifting on fat feeder fetishists money. He wants you to be disgusted & annoyed by him. The lipo is just a quick solution he took so he can start it all over again. He'll likely kill himself doing this eventually. If he actually cared about his health at all then he'd change his whole career path around instead.

>>390771 Thats too realistic to a depressing degree. Also game trailer just highlights you're a selfish asshole robbing a rich selfish asshole and have to compete with other thieves who are also selfish assholes. They're not giving anything to the poor, if they did they wouldn't be trying to kill each other.

>>390600 Is that supposed to be one of these female custodes I keep hearing about? because that thing looks like a man.

>>390773 Yes.

>>390744 >But the lower half are having to work two jobs just to get by, with no prospects of home ownership or retirement. First, the latter is because of the government making it illegal for banks to discrimiante on who can receive a loan, similar to how college admissions skyrocketed in price once the government began handing out student loans like candy. Second, it's not the government's, nor the company's, job to provide you with retirement or a pension. That'a Socialist concept. YOU are the one responsible for how YOU spend your money. >The USA is second only to Asian countries in how poorly workers are treated. However unlike Asian countries, there's no stigma in America preventing you from just leaving for another job with better conditions. >and if there's an overabundance of labor, and no labor laws in place, they will treat their replaceable workers like slaves because its most profitable Except the exact opposite happened during the first half of the 20th century, when no labor laws existed. In the automative industry, Ford had the most progressive medical care, compensation, pay stuctures, and diversity hires of any of the companies in the market. The manufacturing plants were in fact so clean that you could literally eat off of the floor. So what happened to them? They were fucking sued by the automotive union for being "unfair" to their workers. Fuck off with pushing that bullshit media narrative of "Muh robber barons", which were nothing more than propaganda created by Communists and companies who couldn't compete.

>>390771 Happens more often than you think, thanks to cultural baseline entitlement. Look at all the apartments that still hang window air conditioners, when they were built it was considered luxury or didn't exist yet. Things like that.

>>390767 Checking those triple 8's, nice. >>390769 >>390771 Ironically, these would make for a better plot basis than anything Soyny has planned. Maybe not exactly for a team based shooter, and it's certainly something that has been done before, but it would be entertaining while presenting an interesting narrative. And it didn't even take a million bucks to think it up. Showing how greed can corrupt, how one's ideals can be turned against them, that is something people would potentially play. >>390770 Ubisoft might be terrible at making video games, but they do know a thing or two about advertising and marketing. People really liked the first two games and have fond memories of their younger selves playing as Ezio. As the games started to become worse, players hoped that they would get a similar experience somehow, so they gave Ubisoft some more chances. By the time the games were becoming particularly awful and the original fans were walking away from the franchise, the devs had already started expanding the open world and dumbing down the games, advertising the latest titles to the average player. This is how they've been able to still get revenue from the games all these years. Things are changing though.

>>390770 Have been playing through the first game in the series, and I get the impression that Watch_Dogs is almost a better follow-up than the other titles. While the climbing mechanics can be "fun", the actually meat of what makes the first AC interesting is investigating the targets. In fact I wish they developed that aspect even more so that I could actually learn who it is that I'm killing and why (Beyond just vague word-of-mouth, and possibly with the choice on if I actually should kill them or let them live), but I get the feeling that they were just playing around with ideas at the time and couldn't flesh everything out properly (With the story also lampshading that problem as Al Mualim directly tells you (Altiar) to stop asking questions midway through the game).

>>390775 >Second, it's not the government's, nor the company's, job to provide you with retirement or a pension. That'a Socialist concept. YOU are the one responsible for how YOU spend your money. Except social security tax isn't optional. >Except the exact opposite happened during the first half of the 20th century, when no labor laws existed. And when there wasn't an overabundance of labor, meaning workers weren't as replaceable.

>>390695 Well last time it wasn't a joke, it was some niggerpill guy trying to start shit. And someone is doing something similar here. Can't be too careful these days. >>390698 The Comics Code softened significantly around 1970, and major publishers stopped following it at all in the '90s and 2000s. So really it was only a major force for about 15 years. Those 15 years happened to be "The Silver Age." It's the era when most of the series and characters you know about were created. What marks the end of that era, in 1970, is essentially a shift in style brought about by fans becoming professionals, as kids who grew up reading the rebooted Flash in the late '50s were now old enough to write their own comics. Things got darker and much more autistic (though nothing compared to what we'd see in the generation after them). That era, from about 1970 to about 1985, is known as the Bronze Age. So what happened is these kids who grew up on censorship and almost nothing but superheroes became the next generation of creators, and they created what they knew, and what they knew was capeshit. Even though the Comics Code softened significantly around the time when they were becoming creators, they still mostly made capeshit. Horror made a bit of a comeback, but it had a capeshit tinge. Marvel launched a successful Dracula comic, for example, but its longest lasting legacy is introducing Blade, now considered just another superhero. Things were darker, because these were autistic fans writing for themselves, rather than old men writing for kids, but these autistic fans were autistic fans of the censored stuff. And this effect compounded in later generations. This is SJWs' goal with taking over industries, by the way. They hope that if they can hold it long enough, they can make a generation that likes Disney Star Wars or whatever. But it doesn't work, because Jack Kirby was actually a talented creator, so say what you want about not liking superheroes, but The Fantastic Four was at least well made, and though they weren't allowed to do material as adult as they used to, at least it wasn't outright propaganda, or at least not as blatant as what SJWs are putting out now. >>390699 >I really hope that anon from a few threads back who was planning to make his own comics publishing firm (the one who pledged he'd never allow Capeshit) has a plan to deal with this. If he wears his beliefs on his sleeve, he'll end up in the same position. My point was that, thanks to that happening to Meyer, he had to self-publish, and he was very public about the way he did it, and many others copied him, and now it's a fairly popular method to go about things. So now you don't have to worry about Mark Waid or whoever else trying to blacklist you for a comic. ComicsGate popularized a viable method of funding self-publishing, and getting around the mainstream industry (including the fake "indie companies," which was always an oxymoronic term). >>390709 The thing is, most indie comics that stepped through the door that CG opened aren't part of the group you're thinking of. They don't get discussed in the same circles, positively or negatively. But they're independent people who found a way to get around the gatekeeping of the mainstream industry. That's what matters. >>390729 The problem isn't lack of labor laws, it's overabundance of cheap labor due to mass immigration and outsourcing. Supply and demand. >>390779 >Except social security tax isn't optional. That's his point. He's saying it should be.

>>390780 I keep hearing about and I forgot about it. What the fuck is a comics gate?

>>390781 Gab version of american comics.

>>390769 >I know its also full cgi without a hint of Gameplay but Sony is super confident in it. Yeah, that's what they are supposed to do,not back down and not show weakness they want to force it whatever it takes

>>390779 Deductions wash it away, I don't feel like taxes inhibit my financial freedom much.

>>390777 Sony has lost the damn plot and i mean that both figuratively and literally. They're throwing money into things that no one wants to capture the so called "modern audience" And theyre writing retarded plot points even kids will roll their eyes at. >Ubisoft might be terrible at making video games, but they do know a thing or two about advertising and marketing. It really is quite amazing id be more impressed if I wasnt so pissed at em. >>390783 Boy if only they invested that money into something that doesnt make people wanna puke,

>>390781 Apparently people in this thread are using different definitions. Basically, around 2017 or so, some guy on youtube started a channel called "Diversity and Comics" where he started calling attention to all the ridiculous SJW bullshit Marvel got up to at the time. DC too, but Marvel was worse and this guy happened to be more autistic for Marvel. At one point he made a video about a bunch of assistant editors at Marvel posting a pic on twitter of them going out for milkshakes. And they were a bunch of extremely stereotypical SJW women, as you'd expect. But they lost their shit at being found out. It Streisand Effected things, and they all just doubled down on the SJWism ruining comics. It turned out they had secret online groups, akin to that GameJournoPros thing, and of course they got up to the usual corrupt acts, like gossiping about who they suspect isn't SJW, then planning how to remove them from the industry. At one point they were also planning to meet Diversity and Comics at Comic Con and all circle around him and start yelling at him, thinking that, because he's a veteran, they would trigger his PTSD (which they assumed all veterans have), and he'd punch one of them, and then that would be their excuse for not just destroying his credibility, but sending him to jail. More recently, these people also ruined the career and life of comics creator Ed Piskor, for the reasons you'd suspect (though I don't even think this guy was particularly right-leaning) and he actually named some of them specifically in his suicide note. Meanwhile, the Youtube guy, whose real name is Richard C Meyer, but is sometimes called Zack, calling back to a nickname back when he was trying to be anonymous, kept getting told that he shouldn't talk since he didn't sell his own comics. He actually had a couple of minor indie credits before, but he took the challenge and made his own comic. He was a veteran, and he loved GI Joe and '90s Marvel, so the comic he made, Jawbreakers, was basically a GI Joe type thing, where they fight a giant ape. Nothing political, just something with some '90s flair, since that's what he liked. He got a publishing deal with a very small company called Antarctic Press, but industry bigshot writer Mark Waid tortiously interfered with his contract, calling up the publisher and threatening them until they cancelled the contract. While Diversity and Comics was suing Waid, he also had to find another way to publish. He was seeming like he was going to be very successful on Kickstarter, so Kickstarted literally hired a Comics Czar to go over all indie comics anyone tried to Kickstart, and ban anyone not SJW enough. So he went to Indiegogo, and that worked. And he made tons of money, and made many more comics since, and many other people copied his methods, including big industry professionals, probably most notably Ethan van Sciver, well known for Green Lantern: Rebirth (and the arcs that followed it), and Doug Tennapel, creator of Earthworm Jim, who had just managed to get the rights to make new EWJ comics. There are many others, though. Chuck Dixon, creator of Bane, has drawn some comics for the Jawbreakers guy, for example. Apparently there was drama, with some of these creators trying to say only they were Comicsgate, and others were not. I think Van Sciver doesn't like Tennapel anymore, for example. But I don't give a fuck. What I cared about was comics, not e-celeb interpersonal drama. I did follow Diversity and Comics back in the day, but what I was interested in was the stuff about comics and their creation and publication, not interpersonal drama. So let these people fight. I don't care. They can say Comicsgate is a group, but they're wrong, just like Watergate wasn't a group, and Gamergate isn't a group. It's an event. The event was the realization that the industry was bullshit, and the reaction against said industry bullshit. >tl;dr: It's people reacting to the comics industry getting taken over by SJWs, just like Gamergate was reacting to the video game industry getting taken over by SJWs. Notably, it has had success in popularizing alternative avenues of publishing, getting around the gatekeeping of the mainstream industry. >>390784 >I don't feel like having my money forcibly stolen from me inhibits my financial freedom much.

DOJ: Russia Aimed Propaganda at Gamers, Minorities to Swing 2024 Election https://archive.is/JioKN >In late August 2023, Ilya Gambashidze was in a conference room at the office of Social Design Agency, a Russian IT company he founded that is based in Moscow, close to the world-renowned Moscow Conservatory. Gambashidze was relatively unknown in Russian politics at the time, but just a month earlier his name had appeared on a Council of the European Union’s list of Russian nationals subjected to sanctions for playing a central role in a sprawling disinformation campaign against Ukraine. >In the conference room, Gambashidze was laying out his plans for a new target: Along with his colleagues, he began drafting what would become known as the Good Old USA Project. The project was supposed to influence the outcome of the US presidential election in favor of former president Donald Trump, specifically targeting certain minorities, swing-state residents, and online gamers, among others, in a scheme that included a full-time team dedicated to the cause. >On Wednesday, Gambashidze and his company were named by the US Department of Justice among the architects of a disinformation campaign known as Doppelganger that has for the past two years been targeting Ukraine and, more recently, US elections. The Doppelganger campaign uses AI-generated content on dozens of fake websites designed to impersonate mainstream media outlets such as The Washington Post and Fox Business, using a network of fake social media accounts to disseminate pro-Russian narratives targeting audiences across the globe. Doppelganger is a Kremlin-aligned disinformation campaign that was first linked to the Kremlin in 2023 by the French government. On Wednesday, the Justice Department announced the seizure of 32 internet domains it says are linked to the Doppelganger campaign which violate US money laundering and criminal trademark laws. >“Today’s announcement exposes the scope of the Russian government’s influence operations and their reliance on cutting-edge AI to sow disinformation,” FBI director Christopher Wray said in a statement. “Companies operating at the direction of the Russian government created websites to trick Americans into unwittingly consuming Russian propaganda.” >The Treasury Department had previously sanctioned SDA and Gambashidze in March for its part in the Doppelganger campaign. But the court documents unsealed on Wednesday contain a treasure trove of documents and meeting notes from Gambashidze and his colleagues, outlining in unprecedented detail the goals and tactics that the Kremlin has been deploying in order to influence the outcome of the 2024 US election. >The records also reveal the plan was discussed at the highest levels of the Russian government, with Sergei Kiriyenko, the first deputy chief of staff of the presidential executive office, playing a key role. The notes appear to show that President Vladimir Putin may have been updated on the campaign; in one meeting with Russian government officials, Gambashidze wrote that government officials told him they had “reported to the President about the project,” which the FBI agent who authored the affidavit said he took to refer to Putin. The documents show that the orchestrators of the campaign targeted existing divisions within US society, using racist stereotypes and far-right conspiracies to target supporters of former president Donald Trump. >​​"They are afraid of losing the American way of life and the ‘American dream,’” Gambashidze writes in one document outlining his “guerrilla media” plan. “It is these sentiments that should be exploited in the course of an information campaign in/for the United States.” The same document is full of racist and conspiratorial claims, including that Republicans are “victims of discrimination of people of color.” It adds that white middle-class people are being discriminated against with high inflation and rising prices, while “unemployed people of color end up being privileged groups of the population.” >And the goal of the campaign, from the beginning, was crystal clear: “To secure victory for [Donald Trump],” Gambashidze wrote in the Good Old USA Project planning document. >The Good Old USA plan openly admits that “none of the significant American politicians can be considered pro-Russian or pro-Putin,” and so rather than focus its efforts on trying to convince people that Russia is great, the plan called for promoting the idea that the US should be focusing its resources less on Ukraine and more on domestic issues, such as rising inflation and high gas prices. >“It makes sense for Russia to put a maximum effort to ensure that the Republican Party’s point of view (first and foremost, the opinion of Trump supporters) wins over the US public opinion,” the Good Old USA Project planning document reads. “This includes provisions on peace in Ukraine in exchange for territories, the need to focus on the problems of the US economy, returning troops home from all over the world, etc.”

>>390787 What this really comes down to is that Trump won't continue wasting money by sending it to Ukraine unlike Biden's administration. It's as ridiculous as saying Russian trolls mass wrote negative reviews for Disney's Star Wars.

>>390786 You don't deduct all your hobby spending as "content creation" business expenses? As long as you keep a ledger and 3d print some things to sell it's fair game.

>>390787 >the plan called for promoting the idea that the US should be focusing its resources less on Ukraine and more on domestic issues, such as rising inflation and high gas prices. WHAT A DASTARDLY FUCKING PLAN THESE SLAVS HAVE CONCOCTED!

>>390784 Do you not realize the hypocrisy of things like tax returns? If you fail to submit them or get something incorrect, you can be severely fined or even imprisonned. Meanwhile if the government calculates that you actually "overpaid" them in taxes, they return the allotted money interest free. >>390789 >As long as you keep a ledger and 3d print some things to sell it's fair game. No, it's not. You have to show a profit within five years or pucker up as the government can audit your ass at any moment. That's not to mention that things like the income tax were originally fucking advertised as a tax that would "only apply to the rich". And we've see how that's blown up.

>>390786 Makes sense. started with good intentions, it's just every time I hear of it, I hear about Drama or see people that come off to me as grifters so I just stay out of it.

>>390791 Just make profit, then. Also I have only ever been paid back with interest because it was not my error.

>>390676 Boycotting everything jewish is good. As is tanking the jewish economy.

>>390796 >also replying to niggerpill Here's a quick primer to tell if a post is an anon being stoic (or having a depressive episode) or if it's fucking niggerpill. >You know in retrospect I'm not sure if [reaction to event] really had any lasting benefit. I seems like it did on the one hand but on the other it seems like the tide of shit just keeps coming in. Should we have done something different? Will it actually eventually get better? Probably not niggerpill. <IT'S ALL OGRE! MOMMY GOD EMPRESS KAMALA WILL ANIHILATE OUR SOULS WE SHOULD KILL OURSELVES RN! WE ALL REGREN TOT BECOMING TRANNIES WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE! OH MY POOR ASSES AND ELBOWS! This is niggerpill. Don't respond just report. fucking tab key

>>390792 Well you don't have to follow any people you don't want to. The main point is people have made everyone realize the mainstream comics industry is completely corrupt, largely due to SJWs, and the industry is now a laughing stock. At the same time, they also popularized self-publishing their own actual independent comics. That's all good. Whatever else they do doesn't matter to me. All I know is we got a new Earthworm Jim comic and it was pretty cool, and now I can look forward to more random people being able to publish whatever they want, without having to get through the gates of the legacy industry.

>>390795 I reply because its funny after >>390798 He didnt reply to niggerpill >>390796 Ultimately Villains can't write heroes. They dont even have a fleeting idea of what it means to be good

>>390801 This is why they put Jordan Peterson's words in Red Skull's mouth, not realizing that that doesn't make Peterson evil, it just makes Red Skull good.

>>390802 Definitely one of the many moments of when you realized the writer didn't have a proper grasp of morality. Another similar example is when they try to write "Heroes" who pull off pic related No sense of irony whatsoever they think you can pull this garbage and think it's a good thing. You had the MC bully her friend. Suddenly it all clicked they're fucking assholes all the time even to themselves.

>>390729 That is why the best approach is to move to countryside, like the majority are doing. Abandon corporate work, and the cancerous life of chasing a career. Living healthy is living better. and the only good life is outside cities.

>>390803 Gommies dont do morals, anon

>>390780 >it's overabundance of cheap labor due to mass immigration and outsourcing. But Euros have let literal hordes of brownies in, in recent decades.

>>390744 If you can't work as demanded by a boss, go make your own company. If you can't work for the rewarded money as per the will of your boss (notice: will. Not necessity. But by his whims and demands alone), go make your own company. If you can't save money by yourself, that is your problem. no one has any obligation to take care of you. Your life is not important to anyone.

>>390806 You're agreeing with him, the value of such labor is diluted.

>>390803 Being the commie's layer, but maybe they meant that as a bad moral choise?

>>390808 >You're agreeing with him, the value of such labor is diluted. No, I'm not. >Euros have labor laws so people that aren't at least upper middle class can still live a decent life when labor is in abundance <It's different in the USA because of immigration >But Europe has been dealing with as much or worse mass immigration from Africa and the middle East. How is labor less abundant there?

>>390807 I'll be a commie bastard just this one time and mention this website https://wtfhappenedin1971.com and the first graph outlines exactly what anon mentioned about 2 or more jobs. Compensation is far too skewed against capital, and it's not exactly your local simple businesses that are stealing your money, it's more so the government+ultra rich people that pocket it and only spend it on things produced by specialists, so the trickle down never really happens. Video-games.

>>390793 What happens when the taxes go above your profit? :^)

>>390699 Say whatever you will about Eric July but he did the correct thing on building his own publishing infrastructure. I going to do something similar but on a smaller scale for the time being. Putting money aside in this economy is a son of whore.

>>390810 >>Euros have labor laws so people that aren't at least upper middle class can still live a decent life when labor is in abundance That's not true, though. Europeans are suffering from lack of affordability as well, because again their goods, including basics like housing, are priced through the roof. Your premise that Europe is significantly better than America in this case is false, and any discrepencies are easily explained by the fact that America takes in more immigrants than the rest of the fucking world combined. Though I don't say that to take away from the woes of Europeans. They're very much in the same sinking ship. >>But Europe has been dealing with as much or worse mass immigration from Africa and the middle East. How is labor less abundant there? As bad as their immigration crisis is, it's not as bad as the US. But it is bad, and they are suffering similarly. >>390811 >1971 While I'm sure there are many factors at play, we shouldn't ignore that this is around the time women started flooding the labor market, increasing supply drastically.

>>390817 Then the critics are good people. After all, they are Right Wing. >>390818 >t trickles into the hands of people who will work for far less than you will, and with a big smile might I add. Making it imperative to burn alive those paying them.

>>390809 Nah, often you are locked out to do that specific choice and being told that was the correct one, there is also a reason why instead of saying something like "HAha you dumbasses the game is a hyperbole of what to not do if you want to make society better" they instead supressed talk and played victim exactly how their game characters would behave

>>390819 >While I'm sure there are many factors at play, we shouldn't ignore that this is around the time women started flooding the labor market, increasing supply drastically. Pic related is also from that link.

>>390826 I didn’t, he did. Ask him. He then subsequently killed everybody of that definition.

>>390828 I'm asking you a question, do you define value?

>>390830 The ultimate levels of value are irreplaceability and nexus points of social and economic flow. The metric by which such things are measured is transitory.

>>390831 Define what value means without peddling bullshit.

>>390818 >>Compensation is far too skewed against capital >According to who, you? No, according to data from the federal reserve, actually, and I don't see they having any reason to give reasonable ammo to communists by disclosing this data in this particular way, because... why would you? This isn't manifest by poor people not saving money at all, it's by the fact that having money simply makes more money than not having money because of fugazi money magic.

>>390832 I literally described to you the three fundamentals of what embodies value: desire, need, and scarcity. Maybe you’re not ready for this conversation. >>390833 So the federal reserve is the ultimate authority on what constitutes compensation? >because of fugazi money magic If the tool is broken then use a different tool of value.

>>390799 >completely corrupt, largely due to SJWs, Here's my problem with you guys, while sjws are an issue and that's especially the case within gaming or other industries. For, comics much of the issues were way before sjws came into the scene. American/Canadian comics died due to them not adapting and sucking off capeniggardry, utterly stagnated things along with horrid business decisions.

>>390835 Sure. Well now the reaction against SJWs has opened up an avenue to self-publish comics made by yourself or anyone else much more easily. The way the business worked before stopped working 30 years ago. Here's a whole new business model. Don't like the previous major output? Fine. Now it's easier for anyone to make different stuff. I don't see why you'd have a problem with that. The only people who would have a problem with that are the gatekeepers and the people in charge of the big companies, who are now obsolete.

>>390833 Holy shit. When anon said >>390744 >but the upper half of Americans still have more disposable income in the way that matters for them and the economy. And I replied with >>390744 >But the lower half are having to work two jobs just to get by, with no prospects of home ownership or retirement. I didn't realize just how fucking bad it was. >>390775 >Second, it's not the government's, nor the company's, job to provide you with retirement or a pension. That'a Socialist concept. YOU are the one responsible for how YOU spend your money. Even without the social security tax, the bottom 50%'s prospects of future home ownership and retirement would be grim.

>>390835 >For, comics much of the issues were way before sjws came into the scene. Come on son don't pretend shit like >>390668 was the norm. And whats worse is that they were told NO ONE WANTS THIS SHIT and so they obliged and it was never made and yet even know they sneakliy try to add retarded bullshit like it in and think the customers are too stupid to put two and two together.

>>390838 Comics at least since 2013/14 have wanted the elusive non-existent wider audience. So they keep throwing soapbox crap into their comics but it doesn't make them sell any better. Because the people they're appealing to were never the niche audience who read comics.

You could tell they wanted the "wider-audience" but who the fuck wants to read that? Know your damn audience. They also couldn't write for shit. >>390842 I was thinking the same thing.

>>390841 Why would her personality factor into a rape? Beat her until she's reduced to nothing but sobs or just carry duct tape with you and shove some over her mouth.

>>390843 Exactly. It's the same as you see in the game industry. They try to abandon the actual established audience for a completely hypothetical audience with "the right" politics.

This would call attention to the fact that Hal Jordan molested Arisia, but so be it. Then we can have some character erase Jon's memories of being aged up, so that he can act like he did before, free of the trauma of being molested. This would be controversial in-universe, since Identity Crisis is all about how Batman is very strongly against erasing memories, but that can be the story, Batman and the other characters grappling with the morality of it, with Batman ultimately accepting that there are some things no child should have to deal with. He knows that better than most. Then we can finally go back to the version of Jon people liked. And everyone in-universe can agree to never speak of it again, just like the time Alfred became a supervillain. And then we eliminate the faggots like you, who would still make Jon gay anyway. You're next, faggot.

>>390855 Trying to pretend things were fine before sjws is being delusional, comics were in shit shape for years before sjws came. Sjwism was just the final nail in the coffin.

>>390740 >If someone wants to cut their perfectly healthy arms off because they don’t feel like they should have the arms then fine whatever, they’re just living their lives! What is wrong with you?

>>390856 pretending it wasn't salvageable is whats being argued

>>390849 >Games? >>390855 >Faggots are censoring DQ3 warrior lady Yeah I saw that. Pretty damn disrespectful, not that they ever care about things like that.

>>390855 >it could have been the only comic about two kids growing up to become superheroes. To be fair, there was also Teen Titans and Young Justice. Damian was also on that team at the time. I forget if they were called Teen Titans or Young Justice at that moment (and it became more complicated by the original Teen Titans, who had just been called The Titans for the last few decades, coming back). It wasn't that edgy. But yeah, Jon Kent was one of the most likeable and liked new characters DC or Marvel had in about a decade, since Damian Wayne. So of course Bendis had to destroy him. >>390856 You're not wrong, but the point is that that doesn't justify what SJWs did, or make it any less bad. It could have perhaps been salvaged with significant adjustment to the business side. What the SJWs did, and indeed set out to do, was destroy these aspects of culture because they saw them as masculine and conservative (even though anyone who knows much about the topic knows that only a few creators of these works were ever particularly right-leaning). Really, they saw that they were liked by men, and particularly American men, so they set out to destroy them. Yes, the industry was fucked, but that's no excuse to ignore their attempt to destroy our culture. You might think it's stupid, but it's very much the same idea behind them tearing down statues. Or to look at it on a simpler level, it's the same idea behind them ruining all your favorite vidya series.

>>390860 > Teen Titans and Young Justice They're old as balls now. They havent been teens for near decades. >>390859 Its only when you're dead or dying will these vultures crawl out of the wood work

>>390827 Does dustborn have any Teagans in it? >>390851 Anyone who isn’t them, then. The point is they have a t best a vague similarity to puritans, which could just as easily be used to compare them to any other group throughout history who told anyone not to do anything. The actual puritans believes that themselves along with everyone else should practice self-restriction. <thats what sjws believe No. What they believe is that it is empowering for a woman to sell her body for money, literally objectifying herself for men, and that it is sexist for anyone to criticise this. That is as far from any form of Puritanism as you can get.

>>390861 >They're old as balls now. They havent been teens for near decades. There are multiple generations of them, and Flashpoint fucked things up so some of them were younger again. The original Teen Titans from the '60s, and the New Teen Titans from the '80s (who are approximately the same age, and treated like one big group a lot of the time), all became adults by the late '80s, and started just calling themselves The Titans (no Teen). But then Young Justice was the next generation in the '90s. Then I guess for marketing or whatever they had a new Teen Titans (not the New Teen Titans, who are old now) in the 2000s, and this consisted of characters like Robin III (Tim Drake), Wonder Girl III (Cassie Sandsmark), Superboy II (Kon-El), and others. They were still young by Flashpoint. But then for some reason in Flashpoint they de-aged some of the Original/New Teen Titans, like Beast Boy and Raven, but kept others their original ages, like Nightwing, Starfire, and Cyborg. Beast Boy and Raven were now on the current Teen Titans instead of the New Teen Titans. Anyway, it was this 2000s/2010s group that Damian Wayne (Robin V) was a part of. I assume he still is. Idk. I'm at least five years behind. Also around 2016 they did a storyline where they revealed that Flash villain Abra Kadabra erased everyone's memories of Wally West (Flash III) and the original Teen Titans (the team. They still remembered all the members except for Wally) right around the time of Flashpoint, and Wally just so happened to also get stuck in the Speedforce during Flashpoint. So he got out and people started remembering him and the original Teen Titans. But I'm not sure if this resulted in them fixing Beast Boy and Raven so they were the right ages to be part of the New Teen Titans again. I guess I gotta keep reading. But I don't like that they messed up which generation Raven and Beast Boy were part of. It's weird to have Damian sort of have romantic chemistry with Raven, when I remember back in the '90s when she used her mind powers to rape Nightwing, who is basically Damian's (much) older brother/father figure. Also I don't like how they went back to calling the youngest generation the Teen Titans. It's confusing. You had The Justice Society, The Justice League, The Teen Titans, and Young Justice. Young Justice changing their name to Teen Titans made things very confusing. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if they consistently called the original and New Teen Titans just The Titans, but having The Titans and The Teen Titans be different things is obviously confusing. Plus, it's already confusing that the original Teen Titans and The New Teen Titans are really the same generation. But that wouldn't be an issue if they were the only Teen Titans, and the generation after them was just called Young Justice. Now you have a situation where The New Teen Titans are actually the old Teen Titans, but not the original Teen Titans, even though they're the same ages and frequently treated as one group, since most of the originals did join the New anyway. >>390862 SJWs just practice doublethink. What they really believe is that they should have power, and they'll say anything to get it. It's empowering for a woman to be a whore, but it's evil to hire a whore because being a whore is somehow the same as being a slave, despite it being voluntary and paid. All it is is that men are evil, and whites are evil, and anyone who speaks out against SJWs is evil.

>>390860 He was part of the Teen Titans twice. Once before & post New 52. We shouldn't talk about the Rebirth era much though.

>>390864 Oh they made Starfire younger again? After Flashpoint I remember they had her on a team with Jason Todd and Roy Harper. It was a little weird since she should also be older than Jason (since he's Robin II and only came around because the original Robin and the characters who were his age, like Starfire, became adults) but at least they were all adults by now, and Starfire and Speedy were both members of the original/New Teen Titans, so that worked. But making Starfire younger fixes nothing. She matches Raven and Beast Boy now, but they had all this history with Nightwing and Wally West and all the other original/New Teen Titans, who are now adults. And sometimes they reference that history, but then you see their ages and it makes no sense. Black Kid Flash and Blaqualad over there are at least technically new characters (Black Wally is actually original Wally's cousin also named Wally, because DC had to backtrack on erasing the most fan favorite character they had and rebooting him as some black kid), so as stupid as they are, at least it makes sense in the timeline. Rebirth did fix some things, but I haven't read enough of it to see all the shit they pulled with that. This was around the time they started pulling more bullshit like bringing Wally West back only to then say he was evil the whole time. I then heard they backtracked again and said no he was actually good the whole time, but by this point they were fucking around with me too much and I lost interest.

>>390865 No she was just there. Not deaged. Still canonically part of the New Titans with Dick. The thing with Wally is they retconned that ginger Wally existed but he was lost in the speed force & forgotten because something something Dr. Manhattan. Tom King wrote the horrid Heroes in Crisis event where it seemed like Wally killed a bunch of characters in superhuman therapy recovery. The explanation is something something speedforce made him lose control & he killed everyone but also made a copy of himself. They then retconned that to being Savitar fucking with the speedforce so it wasn't Wally at all. Then they gave him back his kids.

>>390866 Well... It's better than nothing, I suppose. See, that's what I mean when I say anything is salvageable. There is always a sci-fi/fantasy excuse ready to sweep under the rug any story that is sufficiently stupid. It needs to be done with some elegance to work, but it is always possible. One faggot comes along and tries to ruin Wally West? Just get some autist to come in and come up for an explanation for why that didn't really happen even though it looked like it did. It's always possible.

>>390867 It's always possible except for things like making characters gay. No writer would dare retcon that lest they be deemed homophobic. And explanations are also not always better if it just makes things more confusing. Like sliding timeline excuses for why characters don't age or their histories keep changing. It's all needlessly confusing.

>>390868 >It's always possible except for things like making characters gay. No writer would dare retcon that lest they be deemed homophobic. Just need to wait for the day of the rope. Then we can finally Make Superboy Straight Again. Actually, I said that to be funny, but it's actually fucked up since Superboy shouldn't be anything. He was like ten years old. He should have just been a child. But no. The gays just had to add more evidence that they're pedos. >And explanations are also not always better if it just makes things more confusing. That train has sailed. It's too late for that now, so if more convoluted excuses help erase things I don't like, I'll take it. If you're autistic enough to care about the old versions, you'll be autistic enough to understand the autism required to undo bad changes. And then good editors could just tell writers to not bring it up, so it doesn't make every later story confusing. Again, just use the "Never speak of this again" line in-universe, just like when Alfred was The Outsider. After that, nobody remembered that story for decades. And it was fine. And when it was finally brought up again, it worked as an interesting bit of trivia, but nothing to dwell on. Now granted, "remember the time Alfred was a supervillain" isn't as bad as "remember the time Superboy got gay molested," but my point remains the same.

>>390868 I don't get why writers would share their character IP with anyone who wants to write capeshit in the first place. That's why it's not the same as buying the rights to a game or manga series and then pozzing it up.

>>390855 >Faggots are censoring DQ3 warrior lady just months after the artist died. I honestly would've been surprised if they didn't

>>390870 The IPs are all owned by corporations. There are indie ones, mostly from the '80s and '90s, but those ones pozzed themselves all on their own, thank you very much. Then you have the new wave of indies, essentially Comicsgate. They're not pozzed. Yet.

>>390869 It wasn't even the gays. Bendis aged him up to 17 then Tom Taylor made him gay. They're faggots but not those kinds of faggots. It didn't have to be this way. >>390870 The writers don't own the characters. It's all the company's property.

>>390811 >>390819 >>390822 Are you guys going to leave out this LITTLE FUCKING PIECE OF INFORMATION: https://infogalactic.com/info/Nixon_Shock <The Nixon shock was a series of economic measures undertaken by United States President Richard Nixon in 1971, in response to increasing inflation, the most significant of which were wage and price freezes, surcharges on imports, and the unilateral cancellation of the direct international convertibility of the United States dollar to gold.

>>390874 >It wasn't even the gays. Bendis aged him up to 17 then Tom Taylor made him gay. They're faggots but not those kinds of faggots. They don't need to be literal gays to be faggots. I liked Ultimate Spider-Man, but Bendis needs to pay for what he's done. >>390875 I assumed that was the actual point being made, and that it went without saying. But I suppose you could say that presumptuous of me.

>>390876 >I assumed that was the actual point being made, and that it went without saying. Anon, most people don't know that for majority of the 20th century, its was practically illegal to own silver or gold in the United States. Or how American coins used to actually have silver in them until 1965.

I'm all for artists publishing whatever they want to sell but give me something like transmetropolitan or dwarves beating up half-elves.

>>390838 >>390840 >>390843 >>390845 >They try to abandon the actual established audience for a completely hypothetical audience with "the right" politics. No, they're not "abadonning" the established audience. That's not how they're ideology works. If you want to see the earliest example of their business philosphy, then I advise that you go back to 1974. To setup some context, NBC was THE biggest and most watched TV station at the time in America and no one could dethrone them no matter what. Then (((Herb Schlosser))) became the president of the station, and he wanted to handle things a little bit differently. He created the theory of the "General Audience", what we now know as the "18-34 demographic", and demanded that shows now be made with the purposes of appealing to this "General Audience". Naturally a lot of people in TV production knew this was nonsense, but (((Herb))) demanded that they do it anyway for another reason. For he had another theory of "why we watch TV", and pushed forth that the audience is "always" going to be watching the TV because it satisfies some "need" and that people will "never" give up watching TV. That you can throw wathever bullshit you want on screen and people are going to consume it no-questions-asked. Within a year, for the first and ONLY time in history, ABC became the top-rated station in America. Meanwhile NBC sunk to the bottom of the ranks and have been attempting to claw their way back ever since. When demanded to explain why he single-handedly destroyed the most successful TV station in America, (((Herb))) declared that his theories were proven "correct" as people "didn't stop" watching TV, they just switched to a different station. That's the same exact mindset these people have. That they can do whatever they want to these properties, and people will "accept" because "What else" are you going to spend your time/money on. If you don't buy the bullshit, then you're declared as being a "toxic fan" because you're SUPPOSE to be buying it and tolerating it like a good little lemming. Does that help make sense of it?

>>390884 That's wanting a new audience with extra steps.

>>390891 Before it was called the radio and the printing press.

>>390892 And before that, it was the Bible, media consumed indirectly from the literate, such as preachers.

>>390857 I agree with you that it's sick but if other people want to fuck up their own lives or even the lives of the people that they are responsible for that's not really my problem, strictly speaking. It's only when they force me to take part or want to fuck the lives of me and mine that it becomes my problem. Because it goes both ways. I don't want these people telling me how to live my life either.

If the government didn't have the ability to tax almost unlimitedly, wasn't allowed to levy punitive taxes, couldn't force parents to school their children in a manner that the government approves then you wouldn't have to worry about lefties using that to attack us with. Trannies really don't have a lot of power in and of themselves. They only have power because they have been granted power by progressives who are using them as a weapon to damage the fabric of society. If you defeat trannies then the lefties will publicly wail but in private they will just shrug and pull another special group out to use as the next battering ram. And they'll probably use the avenue of the new laws or procedures that you used to get rid of trannies as the avenue of attack. Stop building weapons and then putting them into the hands of unreliable people who will then hand them over to your worst enemies.

>>390880 >Seems like a fragile industry then, if the sales are mostly from two or three publisher-rightsholders. Yes. Very fragile. Basically the industry already crashed in the '90s. Everyone figured it couldn't get any lower. But then the SJWs came in and found a way to blast through bedrock and dig straight down into Subterrania. >The comicsgate website in the first image I'm not even sure what that is, but it isn't a "comicsgate website" in any sense more than saying that any site by any indie dev who doesn't like the mainstream vidya industry is a "gamergate website." It's silly. Also, though I'm not familiar with this particular site, I know that the guy whose video is in the first thumbnail doesn't want his videos up there. Even though he's basically the creator of comicsgate, he's never really wanted to be part of the weird cliques that formed around it. He just wants to make his Youtube videos and sell his comics. That video in your pic is actually criticizing other comicsgate and adjacent types. Which is silly, and really making him look like a fool lately. That's why I don't think he'd want to be on a website like this. That said, I don't really care so long as they make good comics. And even if they don't, really the best part is just that they're spiting the industry and opening the door for more new guys. >>390881 More specifically, Warner Bros. bought DC back in the '60s. WB actually almost sold DC to Marvel back in the '80s, but the writer who was going to be tasked with doing the Marvel reboot of Superman, John Byrne, blabbed about it before things were finalized, and bad reaction from some people in the two businesses ended up killing the deal. Byrne still got to reboot Superman, though, just at DC. That book, Man of Steel, is still a classic 40 years later. Luckily for DC, those Batman movies started making tons of money in '89, and they had a lot of success with cartoons, plus that Superman show with Dean Cain, and that all helped to keep DC in general as something Warner would actually want to own. Plus marketing stunts. The Death of Superman was a huge deal, so much so that even normalfags knew about it, and people bought it in droves thinking it would be worth as much as the first appearance of Superman, which was worth a million dollars. Those people didn't understand anything, and once they found out they wasted their money, they all stopped buying comics, because they weren't fans, they were investors. The bubble burst. When the bubble burst, not only did tons of comic stores go out of business, but Marvel got fucked hard. Due to the bubble, they felt confident enough to expand their business and do their own distribution, which was otherwise outsourced to other companies. When the bubble burst, they realized they had overextended themselves, and they had to declare bankruptcy. They were basically kept afloat by licensing the film rights to many of their properties for cheap. This is how you got the glut of Marvel movies in the 2000s. Or rather, starting from 1998, with Blade. But after X-Men hit at the box-office, all these other studios which had previously bought the rights for cheap all rushed to make their movies. So you finally got Spider-Man and Fantastic Four, which were in development hell for years, not to mention Daredevil, and Hulk, and Ghost Rider. These were the big Marvel characters in the '90s, so they were the ones studios bought. They got the rights for cheap and made insane money. The reason Marvel studios was able to make The Avengers is because, aside from Hulk, none of the main Avengers were actually popular. No normalfags gave a fuck about Iron Man or Thor, so no studio bought the rights. Daredevil was much more popular, so they bought that instead. Marvel did make a deal to use Hulk, whose rights they did license, but that was it. It's also why they haven't made a solo Hulk movie since Disney bought Marvel. That would involve giving more money to Universal, who still has the license. And as for that distribution thing, Marvel couldn't distribute their own comics anymore, that failed. The company they used to go with also failed when Marvel ditched them. So Marvel had to go with the same distributors that DC used, Diamond Comics Distributors. This effective gave Diamond a monopoly over the industry. Archie was the only big publisher that wasn't exclusively distributed by Diamond. This gave them the opportunity to ruin the industry. See, when they sold comics at newstands (including those racks at grocery store checkouts. Basically anywhere other than a comic store), unsold copies could be returned for full refunds. But when they sold to comic stores, no refunds. The comic stores had to just sit on the unsold merch and hope it sold later. So Diamond stopped selling Marvel and DC (and Image, and the rest) at newsstands, and only sold them at comic shops. So now normalfags would practically never see a comic (other than Archie). They stopped realizing comics were even still made. Why would you go to a comic store if you weren't already a fan? So new fans just stopped being made. Archie, meanwhile, still sold at newsstands. Their comics thus sold so much better that they weren't even treated as competition. They were in a league of their own, the only successful comic company. And their comics sucked fucking balls, too. Like Sonic sold gangbusters for them for 25 years, and we on /v/ should be familiar with how fucked Archie Sonic was. But they were sold at places people actually went, so they outsold every Marvel and DC comic by very wide margins. Also, the Coronavirus lockdowns resulted in DC no longer using Diamond as a distributor, as the entire distribution network was fucked up anyway. But at that point it was far too late for anything, and even the sales numbers that put Marvel into bankruptcy in the '90s look like a golden age compared to current sales numbers of SJW comics. >tl;dr: a speculation bubble in the '90s lead to comic shops and Marvel both overextending themselves and going bankrupt. Marvel then had to go with the same distribution company as DC, giving that company an effective Monopoly over this sector, and the company then proceeded to fuck over the entire industry by only selling in comic shops, which were now few in number. Terrible long term strategy since no new readers would ever be made, but the company didn't care. >Then after about 20 years of that, SJWs managed to make things even worse. >>390909 I do not believe that Vegeta would be able to resist the urge to slap his son through a fucking mountain if he spoke to him like that.

>>390921 I assumed it was some kind of loosely organized publishing house going by how people were talking about it, this was the site: https://comicsgate.org/

>>390922 No, it's not organized at all. It's literally just a term like Gamergate or Watergate. The "-gate" suffix has come to refer to controversy. In this case it refers to people finally getting fed up over SJWs taking over the industry and ruining it, and thus popularizing more independent publishing methods. Some people might try to claim ownership over the term, but that would be very silly. Like I heard Ethan van Sciver did try to claim ownership of the term at one point. I like the guy, he's an excellent artist who made many of my favorite comics, but he didn't start Comicsgate, and even if he did, you can't own a term like that. Richard C. Meyer, the guy who actually started it, doesn't want to be part of this kind of behavior, so he doesn't fight over the term, even though if anyone would have ownership of it (which again would be a silly concept), it would be him.

When balancing the game they took the stance where as long as any one person on the team could clear the stage at the expected levels, they considered it to be fine, adding that because of the number of stages they could not spend too much time on game balance. He recognises that this is an excuse, but says that there were limits to the way they worked on the game, with the same person handling the story and battles and level design.

>>1011226 No free lunch, also you have to keep taking it to keep fooling your brain that you're full.

>>390929 Let's not forget another Kikestarter scam Matsuno bothered to dip into.

>>1011248 The "progressives" back then were the Russian spy rings sponsored and protected by the Rothschilds. The SJWs that we had to deal with were al-Qaeda pretending to be Russians, also sponsored and protected by the Rothschilds. And on top of that we had to deal with the Chinese Communist Party and MI6.

>>1011248 Jews back then were at least actual creatives who wanted to tell stories like Jack Kirby. Or were just in it for the business so they ran it like a business catering to a specific customer like Stan Lee. Now it was always propaganda since Captain America was created to goad the USA into joining WW2.

The only thing about Trannies I want to care about anymore is "is there a specific date when they finally commit mass generational suicide and culture can start healing?".

>>390931 Matsuno as far as I'm aware was just the consultant for the game. The crowdfund project in itself was done by someone else, who hired Matsuno to be the consultant as they're "big fans" of FF Tactics and Tactics Ogre.

>>390936 That's why I said dip, it's not much different from what Inti Creates was doing with their Kikestarters and the diva dev producers.

>>390937 Though faggots like YongYea made videos painting Yasumi Matsuno as the one who founded the Kickstarter and pinned the blame on him. I really blame morons in the video game section of YT for not doing a simple research in due dilligence to the topic they want to capitalize on. I hope that faggot dies a very heinous death.

>>390880 It is pretty clear that the comicsgate bunch are just the exact same libtards that infest the industry, but could not be a part of the club, and branched off because of that, and not because they wanted to improve the quality of the products or to make actually good ones for a change. I bet they would be exactly as censor freaks as the current ones in the industry, if they were in their place.

>>390940 They get suckered into it though, the Phoenix Wright GBA VA did it with Inajew and Iga but it's all just money in the end, otherwise they wouldn't jump onto these things.

>>390909 Reminder that Bandai (along with Sega, crapcom and Square) sponsored faggot parades in Japan.

>>390944 Hopefully it'll go away soon now that the DEI contracts are drying up. Who knows honestly speaking

>>390934 It's a byproduct of oversocialization induced by social media, the only cure is cutting every cable and cell tower you see.

>>390863 >Flashpoint fucked things up I hate flashpoint so fucking much. But also its the fact that Dick Grayson has to be Nightwing and not Robin and him being Nightwing ensures that the others like Starfire will almost always be aged up with him. I've seen em try to write self contained stories or make the others younger but it always retcons back. >>390884 Thats so stupid i believe it.

>>390925 I hate Miku being associated with a country full of niggers and spics

>>390934 >is there a specific date Yeh.

>>390948 I love Brazilian and Argentine Miku

>>390945 Hopefully? Didn't they literally just rebrand it?

>>390950 >Argentina Miku >White

>>390952 >

>>1011318 Didn't that jackass rip off someone's model from an old 8chan thread a decade back?
