@m76 You're pretty damn sure the election was stolen too, aren't you? I'll grant you that you may be talking about what you see in your country. But you haven't the slightest clue what's going on over here. Racial profiling has skyrocketed during the Adolf administration. Racist propaganda was endorsed by Adolf. Not publicly, but it was evident to every American whether they wanted to admit it or not. Everyone who wasn't a straight, white, cis, xtian was on the chopping block. I was on the chopping block. I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community. I'm not a xtian. I'm Satanic. I'm in a wheelchair. The comments I hear from people are enough to make me want to kill. Despicable things. But my family (not by blood) are Hispanic. They were racially profiled the entire time they went out. They would get nervous when they saw a sheriff or state trooper go by because they thought that they were going to be separated and caged due to the policies set up by Adolf. Despite them all being AMERICANS. Systemic racism is rife within this country, and you have no right or privilege to try to say it isn't because YOU DON'T LIVE HERE, HENCE YOU DON'T WITNESS IT.

Absolutely not. My enemies can all die, and I hope it is the most excruciating death, both physically and emotionally at the same time. And I hope it would be by my hand, and that I get away with it. I would actively work to bring about their death. It would be so satisfying. Or I could turn them into what I call a "conscious vegetable" instead. Cut off their hands and feet. Rip out their eyes. Cut out their tongue. And bust their eardrums. They can't walk. They can't hold anything. They can't speak. They can't hear. They can't see. They have to live the rest of their life trapped within their own mind with no hope of escape. That would be a death beyond death. It would be a slow torturous death. And more than satisfying to befall them.

Those social and economic realities are a part of systemic racism. Gerrymandering is a big one and while both parties do it, republicans draw out county lines to deliberately leave out communities of color so that their votes are not represented by as many electoral college members, making their vote weaker. Their gerrymandering lines are literally zigzagging in some places to leave them out. Since democrats are more diverse and also have white voters, their gerrymandering lines are not as dramatic. Laws have been passed in some states to stop anyone who looks suspicious and check for their citizenship status or papers. That is blatant discrimination. Even some police departments meet a quota to single out and arrest blacks and Hispanics. More minorities go to jail and get longer prison sentences instead of a warning. The Jan 6 attack had it's first conviction and the person gets probation and no jail time. If they were black...you can imagine. They probably won't be alive. Protestors are treated very differently if they are black. A black undercover agent at a BLM protest was beat by cops and one cop was sentenced to jail and also tampered with evidence. Minorities are less likely to get loans for a house. Obama passed a nondiscriminatory law to help them get loans for homes and trump ended it. Black farmers barely got any government assistance during the pandemic and the failed China trade war. Biden has passed a bill to help the black farmers and even now the white farmers are suing and saying it is a racist bill. There have been at least 3 bailouts farmers have gotten now and black farmers barely got any help. I guess they should have sued trump for his racist policy. Education and healthcare also have systemic racism. Black schools are way underfunded and healthcare insurance goes up with minorities and treated differently. That whole system is pretty bad. Black communities even had to deal with toxic lead in their water while a white republican governor tried to cover it up. And don't tell me the same thing would happen if it was a white community. There is very little black or Hispanic representation in corporate boards. And since corporations lobby, then they are a political entity. Systemic racism is seen through so many areas of life. I grew up most of my life in white dominant areas and white schools. Even though I have some understanding now, I'm still ignorant to other aspects how systemic racism affects people of color. But this is something this country has to fight and I don't expect you to see it or care just like many people in this country. Information is there on the web if you want to do a bit of research and learn about these things. And at the hands of republicans things are getting worse. How bad do things have to get before everyone acknowledges the serious racist threat to democracy? Systemic racism has been bad before, but it's going to get worse. I wonder at what point you and others stop and realize your talking points are dangerous. Or maybe you already know.

I would say looking at the trailer, it's one of the most well-developed fantasy action game for Nintendo. But personally, I am not that big fan of such Cartoony games. I prefer the games which are more realistic.

Like I said, I chose the articles at random for what I recognised as major news sources, I'm not in anyway responsible for what is contained therein. Nice side step on the other three, though. Why are you not mentioning those? Systemic racism is a pretty much a proven fact at this point. It is real, and you never present any evidence to contrary, you just crawl back into your bubble and deny it. Still, it is still open to opinion, and so I must admit you have point there, but I still insist your wrong. Historic racism though, that CANNOT be denied. That is literally a proven fact. It's not a belief, it's not an opinion, so what's the problem with teaching it? It's not the same as teaching religious beliefs as facts, and from my experience being educated in catholic schools, that doesn't even happen anyway. My Religious Education teacher once said "Science is the study of how things happen, Religion is the study of why things happen", and that is an accurate description of my experience. You're still trying to paint people who stand up to racism as racists and it's still just as stupid as it was before. When are you going to learn that there is a difference between calling out racism as real and accepting racism as real? Calling racism out is not being content with it, it's exposing it so it can be fought. Saying racism is real is not what makes it exist, it exists because it exists. Living in a ignorant bubble and pretending it isn't there, much like you do, doesn't make it go away. On the contrary, it only allows the problem to get worse. That's why education is so vital when it comes to stamping out prejudice. You may not like the facts, but that won't change them. That's why when a mature, intelligent person is presented with these proven facts, what they do is accept that mistakes have been made, learn exactly that those mistakes are, then move forward with better knowledge to avoid repeating those mistakes. Societies are no different. We're not perfect and likely never will be, but that doesn't meant can't be better. What's holding us back is people like you. People who just profusely deny any mistakes or imperfections we have because you don't wanna live in a world where they are real. Well guess what, I don't wanna live in that world either. I think I speak for @The Blackangel, @Reality vs Adventure, @Crazycrab and others when I say we don't want to believe racism is real either. The difference is that we acknowledge it, and thus speak out against it so that we, as a society, can learn form it. Just like how those teachers and professors want to teach others so they can learn from it so we may avoid making the same mistakes. That's what makes these bills so wrong. The goal is perpetuate ignorance so racism can continue to exist just because certain people don't like the facts. You can use your twisted, deluded logic that make people who speak out against racism as the racists all you want, do what you need to do to feel better about yourself, but it won't change how you're perceived.

I did manage to find one of them filed by Republican Representative Chip Roy of Texas. You can read it judge for yourselves. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3163/text?r=1&s=2

You can go onto Congress.gov, but their quite hard to find unless you know the bill number. The search tool is not the most intuitive I'm afraid.

If it is possible to actually read these bills online then I can't figure out how to to it. If anyone can, please post in the thread. However, there are articles about it. I have chosen a number of articles at random from a google search from various news sources. The Guardian Washington Post Sky News Insider Not that I think this will change anything. You still live in that little bubble were racism doesn't exist and wilfully ignore any evidence to the contrary.

Anytime we post here, @DC has our IP addresses. If he wanted to, he could use them to track us down to our physical address. It's like that on all forums. He even said so in some of the bid for rewards offers. He said he would check our IP's to make sure we had visited whatever page to get the extra points. I don't know if @Shagger can see them or not since he's a mod and not an admin. I don't know a lot about how Invision forums work as I've never owned, or been staff, on one either. But after more than 2 years here, I know by now that both of them are trustworthy with things like this. @DC also has my physical address as some of the stuff I've won in auctions was physical items that had to be shipped to me. So far no fanboys have shown up on his behalf, so it seems all good.

With the inflation rate, $10 in 1921 would be the equivalent of $134.26 today.

Off the top of my head:- 1.) Silent Hill 2 2.) Lone Survivor 3.) Neverending Nightmares 4.) Resident Evil 4 5.) Alien Isolation 6.) The Evil Within 2 7.) Outlast 8.) P.T. 9.) Amnesia: The Dark Descent 10.) Dead Space

I agree, this is complete crap and it should not be getting a free pass just because "Kojima". It's like that "True Ending" DLC that Capcom did with Azura's Wrath years ago. If they just marketed it as additional content it would be fine but no. Instead they make the original playerbase feel like they've been cheated.

To be honest, it depends on the voice of the commentator. If it's great, I won't mind the commentary - However, if their voice is whiny and annoying, I'd rather no commentary.
