Bay 12 Games Forum

Internet's back at home. Been out since thursday.

... TV with it, but you take the bad with the good.

Iirc most (both?) of the GBA metroid games were pretty solid. Some of the better action games on the system.

Dump money on it (or get people to leave the area) is literally the only viable solution in a lot of cases, yeah. No amount of grit is going to help in the face of wages that functionally or literally don't budge while costs rise, infrastructure crumbles, and malignant actors go out of their way to fuck with you in particular. It's not willpower that's missing, it's that all of it's getting sucked up by a cavalcade of shite before it can improve the situation.

Expecting people to grit their way out of massive systemic disadvantage while being regularly shat on from all directions is bloody asinine. It's not always up to someone else to fix problems, but there's a shitload of problems in this country that literally need someone else to help or the problem's not going to be fixed. The US isn't like it was when it started anymore. The challenges and opportunities are not terribly similar, and the same amount of effort and grit will not get you the same results (to the extent they ever did particularly guarantee them). I'm pretty sure we're no longer particularly comfortable with the amount of corpses it involved, either, for that matter.

E: In other news, Vegas is apparently getting a full up plague of locusts grasshoppers? Can't be arsed to link, but pictures of stuff like some pyramid structure with a beam of light coming out the top basically filled with grasshoppers is a helluva' thing.

That... central thrust isn't accurate, though. Like... at all. Trump's enjoyed popular support at basically no point in his administration, not even at the time of his election. Much of his efforts have been disliked by at-minimum a plurality of the country, and often enough a majority or supermajority. The support of national elite has been more or less the only thing that's driven his shit over a finishing line instead of getting mired in something due to a great number of people -- and not even remotely primarily a national elite -- bloody hating whatever it is.

It shows, too, really. Very little of his efforts have been particularly popular, and most haven't exactly been terribly good for anyone except a subset of fatcats.

Sanders apparently hit the centrist candidates from the top rope, so I'm satisfied.

I'unno, from what I've been picking up from chatter sanders didn't do too well overall. Better than most of the second stringers, but that's not saying much.

On the other hand, warren apparently decapitated someone on live TV or... something.

Its not looking good sadly for the more moderate democrats. Seems the far left are getting more support, which to me is as bad as the far right.

Something like 70% of the extremist murders in the US are far right -- over 80% if you include muslim extremist stuff among them. Less than a tenth are left. Meanwhile we see the results of rightwing policy regularly. Poisoned water, crumbling infrastructure, even more wealth inequality, rampant abuses, flagrant  corruption, and so on. Perhaps unfortunately (given what it entails about some "moderates" in the US), what amounts to the far left in the US isn't, actually, nearly as bad as the far right. By any metric save maybe "leave us alone so we can fuck over minorities and poor people".

... so far as genuinely far left goes, as opposed to lukewarm "sanders counts" american nonsense, well, there wasn't really any of those on stage. Good few years out from that really being on the table at all, probably...

Nobody here would ever kink shame, or look down on others for their preferences.

Spoiler: Me, after leaving the thread (click to show/hide)

dun, i'm just saying as a friend, but a nun lubing up their hands may not be the point you're wanting to communicate here

Or a shota.

... but nah, there's plenty of pretty boys or whatever, too. Or just normal-ish folks.* Probably about even or a bit ahead of senior faceless, with those two (not ugly+noface) combined fairly well ahead of fat/ugly and various other niche-ish stuff. Fat ugly guy is just common enough it's... noticable. Which also makes the general lack of tag for it kinda' stand out.

Just tag it monster girl hentai.

I'unno about the specific site in question, but sadly ugly bastard generally isn't a tag. BBM is usually your closest match, but it's not terribly consistent.

... it's somewhat doubly unfortunate since varyingly ugly men are actually pretty damn common in the medium. Buyer beware and all that, if that's not your thing.
