it was good for the first year or so then just kinda disappeared. It reminded me of EDGE magazine during that time which back in the day was a pretty serious mature magazine for decent videogame journalism. No idea if that mag still exists or if it’s still like that today though.
If Overwatch 2 hadn’t dropped the number and switched back to “Overwatch” I think that one might be eligible given the original game literally ceased to exist.
Same with the grind kmmos like Ragnarok. I still load up Ragnarok every now and then, almost nothing scratches the itch to just grind for some 0.0001% rare drop or hunt MVPs that only spawn once every 4 hours for the hope of getting last hit.
Hmmmm i don’t remember, do I even want to remember? I’m not sure if I do.
This is also unironically the structure of idol and vtuber organisations. The “performance” is simply different.
Lmao this dude is all over the place. The CIA is editing wikipedia but then making it sound like wikipedia’s progressive bias on palestine comes from that? Nonsense lmao. Correct about the cia though
They look like they’re designed to disarm the enemy, you block their strike causing their sword to lock into the hook at the hilt, then performing a twisting motion should lock their sword in. You can either choose to wrench their sword away from them or step inwards with it under control to stab them with a dagger or something in your other hand.
I think a lot of fighting was done at full sword extension because of this. You only want to hit the opponent with the very tip of the sword rather than clash blades fully with someone.
Not sure what the spike is for on the opposite side to the hook though.
I thought it was a cow so this comment was really confusing
“We should borrow the achievements of not only good people, but also bad ones. This is wise,” Korchinsky wrote.
Ok like the “bad” soviets and their beautiful design and aesthetics right?
Honestly a really rad retro vibe.
“Nope, nothing up there, nothing at all…”
The biggest attack since ww2 would have to be nukes. Can’t really see how anything else could be bigger. He doesn’t mean that though, he’s just talking shit.
This sister org style is good but I don’t see why the armed sister org can’t be a wing of the original org, especially in countries where it is legal to have those arms.
You know what I think? I think the problem isn’t that democratic socialists even disagree that much with MLs about the criticism that it has failed because they’re unarmed.
This problem is not “democratic socialism needs to arm itself” because leadership and well educated socialists participating in these movements seem to agree that eventually they will be violently opposed. The real problem is how the fuck do we turn these democratic socialist movements into revolutionary ones when the moment calls for it?
The people that successfully create a formula for transitioning from democratic socialism into a properly armed revolutionary movement will create the formula that works everywhere else.
The problem right now is that these movements get warned, their members see the warnings and even agree with them, but they hit a wall because the organisations they have created and the movement they have fostered can not be transitioned from one to another. They become martyrs.
Palestine Action is the only one that’s getting that treatment afaik when it comes to Palestine which is fairly specifically applied only to support for that group. It’s being pro-Iran that has become particularly iffy because of the IRGC being proscribed.
It’s there to protect against any criticism of the line “Israel has a right to defend itself”.
Important legal precedent set in the UK today, antizionism is protected by the UK equality act 2010.

I am very interested in how this will affect the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which was adopted by the Labour Party in order to purge antizionists from the party.
IHRA’s definition of antisemitism includes the following:
• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
• Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
As if shooting the designer of a technology will somehow prevent someone else from inventing that technology. You wouldn’t prevent the future from happening you’d just change the timeline of events. That goes for the company as well.
He would have at least understood the original was a critique of the direction of society and cops. Everything from that franchise in the last 20 years has totally misunderstood what it is and devolved into WOOW LOOK COOL FUTURE… Like the only thing absorbed by anyone involved was the aesthetics and not the fact that corpos can gun down people in the boardroom and suffer no consequences.
