A little disclaimer. Everything I'm about to say I say as my own individual person, not as a mod nor a representative of VGR in any way. And yourself @m76as well as anyone can respond freely without fear of reprisal. What you are saying are the words of someone who clearly has not made any effort to understand or research the message BLM is trying to put out, and that is also, with all due respect, kinda selfish. You're just happy to live in your little bubble where everything is fine. In your white world, you don't get guns drawn of you for just walking down the street. You don't have the police called on you in the hope they shoot you for being black. You don't get killed by police officers crushing your neck. You don't get tear-gassed for protesting peacefully. You don't get called a n****r or a monkey. You don't get turned away from job's because of the colour of your skin. None of this happens to you, so in your head it doesn't really happen at all. No wait, sorry, I'm being unfair; Yes, racism exists, you said so yourself, so why are you pissing on those fighting it instead of supporting them? Is it because you believe the "small" amount of it you think happens is acceptable? And you're wrong, it is as bad as they say because it's not a minority doing it, it's become engrained in society. That's why, as @Crazycrabpointed out, it's the responsibility of all of us to change, to be better, fight for equality and justice even if one has never done anything discriminatory or racist in any way. Otherwise, we're choosing to live in the same bubble you are, and that would make us part of the problem. BLM are not hiding problems under the rug, that's what people like you do because you don't want to believe these things are true. Just because you don't like what's what to be found under that rug, doesn't make it fault of those supporting BLM. I don't want to believe it either, but as a white man I refuse to deny it just for my convenience. It was Edmund Burke who said “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”. Then there's people like you, spewing this nonsense that the people in this fight to make clear how bad racial injustice really is are the bad guys. How dare you. How dare you accuse the people who suffer through racial discrimination every day as "scapegoating". Victims of racial discrimination don't need you so-called "scapegoat" because they are the victims of racial discrimination. How dare only listen to one side and deliberately avoid the other to then be arrogant enough to think you know it all. How dare just choose to believe what's convent for you. How dare you only come out of your bubble to call those seeking truth and justice as liars just because you're not a victim and can't know what it's like. Nothing of what I say here is against you. Your presence in this community is very much appreciated and valued, but for your own sake you have got to wake up and see what's really going on in the world.

I picked up a few games today through the Nintendo eShop. Two of them I have been wanting for a long time. One I have to credit to @Shagger for his glowing review of it. The other, I can't remember where I initially saw it, but it was most likely here. The one @Shagger talked about was Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It's currently downloading on my Switch, and I can't wait to get into it. The other game is a little goofy. After Hellblade is done downloading, the next one that will start downloading is Cuphead. I mainly wanted that one because it is drawn up exactly like the old cartoons I watched as a kid. The same art style, the same graphics, all of it. I specifically want to give a special thank you to @Shagger for Hellblade. You can read his review HERE.

I got it from Rakuten TV. Rented it.

This is an underatted game, worth checking out.

I really wanna see this movie but can't find it on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Been *searching* but can't find it (sorry for the bad joke)

@Shagger has hit the nail on the head, as to why this wouldn't work out in a game title. Some videos on YouTube have explored this concept to give other gamers the chance to experience the sight of second person gaming. Personally? I would always stick with 1st, and it makes aiming at your opponent far easier.

THAT Listen @m76, anyone who has told or in some way tried to convince you of that is either racist, not very smart or most likely both. It's just an excuse to sweep this problem, and it is a legitimate international problem, under the rug and go back to a state of blissfull ignorance. Now like @Shagger pointed out, a small number of people are using the protests as a window to break the law and spread anarchy but that is NOT what BLM is about. Now I'm not racist in any way but I do admit like so many until recently I let myself be blinded to these issues without even realising I was doing it. But I see it now and we ALL need to wake up.

BLM is about equality, not criminal violence.

I don't tend to bother insulting my brother on the forum, I just do it to his face!

Searching. Loved it.
