Maybe the making of documentary from noclip gives you more explanation.

But short form: more tester and more steady revenue stream, both important for a small truly independent game studio. And it was a great success for the team, so they kept it for the sequel.

And enough other indie development teams didn’t make it in the past, so I take this model over more publisher owned garbage.

Now I’m confused, so you do support Russia?

Not supporting Ukraine isn’t the same as supporting Russia.

And supporting Russia in the context of the russian war in Ukraine is pretty much the litmus test regarding being at a tankie at the moment.

Perfectly fine opinion to have.

That’s not what the tankies say though ;)

Have you looked at the Russian side? Strangely you only condemn the Ukrainian side, but not the Nazis in the Russian Russian one

No, the other commentator is right.

What they said is that you add 100 km/h, and you gain 2h when you add it to a slow train with 100 km/h, but if you add 100 km/h to a fast train with 400 km/h, you only gain a few minutes.

That is called diminishing returns.

Sure, you can see it that way and I wouldn’t even argue it’s illogical. But the way socialism was taught in GDR is the definition I gave above and China would is not socialist under that definition.

That’s easy: private ownership of means of production is not socialist.

I will even include another non socialist fact : China has billionaires (in US$). Those should not exist in a socialist country.

Wait, just to confirm: you really believe that signing a pact to partition Poland isn’t a sign that in fact Poland will be invaded?

And why did generous general Stalin agree to that whole spheres of influence thing in the first place? If he wanted to protect poor Poland from the evil Germanz, surely telling the world about Hitler’s evil plans would have been even better? Or at least warning Poland.

But hm, strange, nothing of the sort was done. One could get the impression generous general Stalin didn’t care for the plight of the common polish citizen that was just to be unleashed on them.

It’s not so much the non aggression part that people have a problem with, it’s more the let’s together invade Poland and hold a celebratory victory parade after that normal people find not so nice.

Art Deco and Art Nouveau both are great in my eyes. (Neo-)Gothic cathedrals and churches are also wonderful.

But one more regional thing: I really like the Brick Gothic style. It is robust against wear and tear and still looks great.

Ok yes, then I agree. But deciding to stop a mass murderer has often a possible life ending consequence and I think most agree that it would still be the right way to act.

Refusing lawful orders comes with life-ending consequences.

Not even close to real? As far as I’m aware, death punishment is not what happened to any of those that refused during Vietnam or Afghanistan.

And also for a certain value of lawful I might add. Last I heard congress didn’t say the USA is going to war with Iran. Making it not exactly a war situation. Hey, now that you say it, suspiciously close to the last time a Republican president decided to play little dictator and fucked up the middle east. Strange how that keeps on happening.

Beat saber was pretty successful though? The game this article is about?

That’s my current state as well: if I kill myself just like that, the ones in power won. So I’m not letting them win. Either by surviving or… your option.

Agreed, but that wasn’t what the other comment demanded. If we treat other people like Nazis treat their victims, you are a Nazi yourself.

That Nazis do not get the benefit of the doubt or a public soapbox or platform is something I agree with and hopefully what the other commentator meant instead of executions and ovens. But it is important to not dehumanise Nazis and not stoop to their level. They are all too human, that is the problem.

See it more positive, don’t look at the amount of comments, but rather at the votes:

the 2 highest main comments and most of the high voted main comments are agreeing with the main gist of the post. That there are then people discussing that is a different thing, but a majority of the people watching this post agree that there is a problem and recognize it.

People who feel attacked by it are naturally more interested in answering and sending their own viewpoint out into the ether. But most votes are not agreeing with them. So majority of those here in this post are on the right trajectory, but of course still have to do the walking towards that direction.

That does not seem to be what research shows, but rather your personal experience:

For animated children movies, I found that 80 % male leads are reported for 1990-2020. Source

Couldn’t find data for children movies in general.

And I found for children books that there is still a slight male overrepresentation on average but in general it being around 50 %for the last few years. Source, search for “Fig. 2”

I feel like it’s awfully interesting though that we have ‘parallel discussions’ whenever someone says “hey this specific thing sucks for women.” […] The answer to that isn’t “we need better male role models in movies” (though it would obviously help as well) as it’s dodging the original question.

Yes, perfectly agree with you! I think both are important points and needed to tackle the issue of patriarchy, because if we don’t teach boys to be better, they never will be and grow up to ask “but what about me?” when they read about feministic topics.

And I fully agree, the way the op posted it with “counter point” already send the discussion in the wrong way.

Yes, it’s not a counter point but rather an also important parallel discussion. We need to have higher standards for male role models, or we will continue to have incels fill the space.
