Syrc,

Holy shit that was great. I remember loving their previous videos too, this guy has a future imo.

Syrc,

That day, Italian Ruffians had to make a VERY hard decision.

Syrc,

Basically a huge ad for working positions at Cover lol

Nonetheless, that was still pretty informative (I can see the character team being perplexed at the “shrimp with buff arms” request lmao)

Syrc,

Man, I was really hoping for some odd constellation in the sky but too bad. Still, cute video!

…I guess I know what to watch tomorrow

Syrc,

Oho, a roguelike card game. Me likes.

The board (?) seems weird so I’ll wait for the first English-language gameplays to see if I dig the gameplay.

Anyway, good that they keep releasing games! Now that there’s a lot of chances for stuff like this, I hope Kevincow deals with his own issues and Cover allows him to publish something officially. I like his ideas and I hope the bridge isn’t already burned.

Syrc,

Never heard about this channel before, but looking at other guests it seems to be pretty big? Props to Suichan either way!

She does have… a lot of the stuff she likes, it seems. After the comments on glowsticks, plushies and earrings I was half-scared she’d say she has 30 drawing tablets too lol

Syrc,

Can Italy join the club? We fit the description pretty well too!

Syrc,

It has been said a billion times and I doubt anyone here needs to hear it, but while there’s nothing wrong about avoiding brands you don’t feel comfortable supporting, expecting (not just encouraging) others to do so is just dumb and counterproductive.

We all saw what happened with the Hogwarts Legacy shitstorm. Yes, JKR sucks and it would’ve been better if nobody streamed it. But all the harassment only made things worse. Why can’t people just voice their concerns in a polite and unassuming way?

Looking at it realistically though, Astel does take a lot of breaks, and the tweet doesn’t hint at anything specific. It’s probably just in preparation for the concert or just to relax a bit. Hopefully.

Happy birthday priestess!

Also based Kuroboshi-papa, the hoodie is amazing.

Syrc,

Never ask Korone to marry you without standard precautions. Emotional damage will still come, but you might survive the rocket from a bunker.

Syrc,

Wonder if we’ll actually get more animated stuff beyond this? I’m still not sure if HoloAlt was supposed to have more stuff beyond Holoearth and the mangas lol

Also, lmao @ Miko’s transformation being fire-themed, she really can’t escape it

From Wikipedia:

Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.

Propaganda isn’t always fake news, it can also be true stuff presented in a biased way.

Similarly, fake news isn’t always propaganda. Some is just stuff spread by trolls to make fun of people.

Syrc,

Can it? I searched a bit and all the definitions I’ve found seem to be about swaying public opinion, not simple objective announcements.

It does have a negative connotation even though it can be used for good, but I still don’t think purely objective messages like “a tsunami is coming, get to high ground” should count as propaganda.

Syrc,

I think that qualifies as propaganda too: its intention is to improve the public opinion of the Cohesion policy by clearing misconceptions.

(About the “project” in the video… what the hell? I had to Google it because I wasn’t convinced it was a real thing. Just why?)

Syrc,

Yes, I figured but… isn’t that a bit too obvious? Surely there had to be a less blatant way of laundering money than… a treetop walk with no trees?

Syrc,

as was always casting white guys as Charlie Chan but making them speak in a fake ‘Chinese guy who talks like white people think Confucious wrote’ way. There was a shit ton of cultural appropriation in Hollywood and there really still is with some cultures.

How is that “cultural appropriation” and not just… racism?

Syrc,

The video in question, since links in the article lead to nothing

Syrc,

They also usually dont do remakes/remasters unless its so new/different it can be considered a new game ( see metroid 2 on 3ds ).

Most of the games on that list fit that definition. Stuff like Zero Mission are extremely different from the original games.

Of course then you also have stuff like BDSP so it’s debatable whether they’ve kept up their policies in recent times, but you could definitely see that in the past.

Syrc,

“Mario” barely qualifies as a single franchise at this point. It spans a ridiculous amount of genres.

Syrc,

you cannot - I repeat cannot - move the Overton window left by voting for right-wingers.

Yes you can. You can lower the temperature of something by pouring over it something hot, but less hot than what you’re trying to cool down.

In the same way, voting for a right-winger over a far right-winger will shift the Overton window to the left. Because left and right are relative terms, like the other guy was trying to say.

Syrc,

If that was true, liberal, you wouldn’t be in this pickle, would you? How long have you libs been voting for the “lesser evil” now?

Remind me the last time the US had three consecutive Democratic terms? 80 years ago? Not sure why you’re saying something isn’t working when it hasn’t even happened.

Syrc,

We can’t afford to keep this status quo for another generation, we are destroying the planet.

And what’s the alternative? I mean, there’s a lot of stuff that can be done, but voting for Biden (or whoever is the leftmost candidate between the main two parties) doesn’t prevent you from doing any of that. You can do that and organize, go to protests and whatnot.

Syrc,

I know there’s alternatives, my point was just that voting Dem doesn’t preclude, or slow down, any of them.

My argument here was that voting for Dems does not move them left, so I’m not sure how protest is relevant.

It eventually has to. But they have to win a lot for that to happen. In the past 80 years, the US never had three consecutive Dem terms, which means the needle is very much in between of the two parties (if not leaning right since Republicans actually had them once). So both can continue with their current policies and hope to be elected.

In the end that’s what matters to politicians, more than upholding any values they might champion: getting elected. Therefore the only way to shift the window in a FPTP system (barring violent protests, which are viable but a different matter), is to keep electing one party and send the message to the other that, unless they calm the fuck down, they’re not getting the seat ever again.

There’s no way that after three or four consecutive Dem terms Republicans will still keep campaigning on killing abortion and LGBT rights. They want that seat, and, like every political party in a similar system, they’ll compromise to get it. At that point, when their opponent isn’t a cartoon villain anymore, Dems will lose their main selling point and will be forced to prop up actual leftist policies to retain votes.

Syrc,

Because they don’t win due to neoliberalism, they win due to their opponent being the literal antichrist. The point is to force Republicans to change their (supposedly) losing strategy, and have Dems react to that.

You can see how, for example, after the three consecutive Republican terms of ‘80-‘92, Democratic candidates have shifted more towards the right on average, in order to recapture more “average” voters.

I don’t have the competence to lay down accurately the process or know the best examples for it, but it’s pretty much basic game theory. If you keep losing consensus you have to adjust your strategy to be more similar to whoever is winning.
