@hater of nierenstein jokes I can only assume V-Ecchi in the name has something to do with Vtubers. Just on that, opinion about the elderly goes into the trash.

@Aether 卐🇲🇹☪️🇸🇦☭🇷🇺 >otaku dicks have no value
They know, but remain otaku regardless. Curious

@монолит >support physical
Did they forget about the day 1 patches that weigh about half the game's size?

@Hoss "Sneed (Formerly Chuck)” Delgado Looking good, Susan (talking to the one on the right)

@d Facts checker jobs for AI on the horizon. We're so back

@Aether 卐🇲🇹☪️🇸🇦☭🇷🇺 The natural faggotry argument has been solidified in normalcattle minds for now. The new step on the downwards slope is that sodomy is actually a core part of the West and white identity. If you hate fags, you're just like the brown muslims.

@Phantasm @Yukkuri @lain @just cell @Blurry Moon >Half-Life without the story is boring and quite mediocre
In my experience, that's because Half-Life's gameplay is ass. I'm only talking about 2 and 1, with the former being bland, rotten ass and the latter just regular ass.

A lot of people seem to agree in spirit, because what I see the most in HL discussions online are lore speculations, roach AI demonstrations and What Could've Been (if Valve was given just a couple more months, years, decades etc.). Not fond memories about guns that didn't do shit unless you played on Easy, bullet sponge upon bullet sponge, cutscenes that totally didn't take you out of the gameplay because you still had control of your character, plinking your toy gun rounds at Playdoh Combine and what have you.

I guess you really can salvage the game by compensating with story, but only to an extent. The gameplay needs to have that zing still. Old imsims are a great example.

@merchantHelios Why the fuck is there a SplatoonGOP account?

@Caleb James DeLisle @Sovereign :israel_burn: My overall position is that, outside of do-or-die wildcards like Iran, everybody will seek a way to go back to business as usual because all the logistics networks are too intertwined to pull apart without majorly hurting yourself financially.

@Caleb James DeLisle @Sovereign :israel_burn: Honestly, they probably can. They even have the perfect fall guys in Trump and the GOP. That's not gonna put a dent into the debt and the inflation, of course. The big win is giving Iran the green light on nukes, which the dems are liberal enough to do and it puts the kikes' bloodlust on hold.

Iran's position is good right now because their landscape is super defensive. Attacking the refineries and holding them in what's basically open desert is a different story.

As for funding the military, I imagine countries like South Korea might foot some of the bill for their own defense for the sake of safety.

@Caleb James DeLisle @Sovereign :israel_burn: Historical precedent is there, sure. In terms of what's actually needed for current industrial output, what is there of use between what is now the Russian border and, say, Berlin?

Land, yes, but who is there to occupy that land and for what purpose? Crimea was annexed because it is a warm port that was at risk of becoming hostile. There are some ice free ports in the Baltics, but I have a feeling it's easier to deal with the Turkroaches and their canal. Occupation still needs your people to settle there. Below replacement rate, plus war losses, how would that even be possible this century?

As for the US falling, I'm not holding my breath. The USSR collapsed and look where we are now. The things that are done to US citizens currently are done by their own (supposedly) government. When it's a completely hostile nation taking over and even the most retarded normgroid can get the picture, the dynamic changes completely.

@Caleb James DeLisle @Sovereign :israel_burn: Doing things needs a reason behind it. What's the use of buffer states in the current reality of warfare? Even more, what's the use of a buffer state whose population is and always will be hostile to you? Even with Ukraine, there's no chance there's a will or a way to take any of the Westerns parts. Best case scenario for Russia is a landlocked rump state with the river running through Kiev as a demarcation line.

This isn't the 1950s, rolling through the steppes and swamps doesn't seems like a wise tactic to me with all the drones. Along with the population of any well to do country not wanting anything to do with war.

As for breaking the EU up, any opponent wishes that for his foe. That said, is it even possible to do and is it worth the chaos? So far like NGO that flood in migrants seem to be doing the most damage.
