I have zero interest in the Olympics and never watch it or follow the news about it so this is literally the first time I'm seeing this.

And I have to say, "What the everlasting fuck?" Seriously?

I grew up in the 80s and there were street kids who were self-taught Break Dancers that left this ridiculous, middle-aged woman who should be driving her kids to their soccer game instead of embarrassing her country, in the dust.

There is no way she got in without the deck being stacked. I realize that Cronyism and Nepotism have always been a factor in success, but most people have the chops to back it up. This is what a developed country sent to the Olympic games? THIS?

Hell, I am confident that a middle aged wonan in decent physical shape was taught just 2 or 3 months how to do some stuff they would do better than she did. Either they lied or where she came from nobody dances.

My thoughts about Henry was meh previously but this has greatly raised my respect for him. Hopefully he doesn't crumble and do what they want.

I agree I'd rather have no Warhammer then have some bastardized version. I am not even a fan of the IP.

This bimbo thinks her socialist policies are going to jive with that majority of the American people. 

The problem is the majority of the American people have been brainwashed. Extensive efforts have been taken to brainwash those in educational systems as young as Kindergarden through PHDs.  Punitve measures for people that even remotely try to think and and act differently.  The Felony convictiions of Trump is one such example.  The few experts capable of speaking on the subject and willing to speak what they see and not the brainwashed dribble that have been forced down their necks have all stated that this wasn't reasonable and in several cases legal. The justice system pushed an agenda and it is so evident by these experts (actual lawyers )  not only based on their experiences but a few actually cited laws and practices that can easily verified.

Even with CNN stating that it would do more harm than good, people will still stay in their brainwashed confort and accept her because thay are so afraid of Trump (I see it as two prong approach. We are the best and Trump is the worst most evil person ever and a danger to our democracy)  It is obvious that she was hired due to her race as opposed to a stronger canidate that got the Dem's agenda done. This is because they had Biden.  Now she is selected because of both time and name recognition along with race. Reason why the democrats are gaining in the african american voting pols since she was announced.

The danger to our democracy is all the agendas being pushed by politicians, media outlets and multibillion cooroporations. Pushing people that will do what they want to further their control over society instead of someone that will actually do society good.

It was worth it for the laughs though. That was some hilarious cringe. 😂

The bigots have won!  Black Myth Wukong busts the Steam charts, the IGN smear campaign falls on deaf ears and the journo who started it all rage quits X and blocks her account.  Victory lap ensues.  \o/

Yep... I guess if you give the customers (that actually buy ) what they want they will buy the game.

This along with Harry Potter game and Balder's Gate 3 will clearly show those companies that want $$$ what is needed and where they will go wrong.

Bethesda being Bethesda or they're just telling you that you're rescuing a complete idiot?

Both are true.  Every dovah-dunce is a safecracker/enchanter/alchemist so you're 'supposed' to pick the lock.  But if you don't know how to beat the lock minigame or have lock picks then they have to provide a way to open the gate for console players (Bethesda being Bethesda and treating players like morons).  NPCs being dumbasses is a foregone conclusion; see any faction quest for details. :P

Why does it have to be one or the other?  LOL

Because Bethesda devs wrote it that way.  See above.

I disagree. Both can't be true. I don't think the writers/designers at Bethesda are smart enough to give you subtle clues to imply that the NPC you're rescuing is an idiot and I also don't see why they would do that for this particular NPC. I simply didn't think of the possibility that they placed the key intentionally for players who couldn't or wouldn't bother to pick the lock, which is a clear proof that they are treating players like morons, I completely agree. They could've placed the key somewhere outside the cell however, which is no doubt Bethesda's stupidity, although wouldn't expect anything less from them.

Banned for racism.  Thread locked. :grin:

Anyway, the key in the urn in the same cell is dumb.  I THINK there's a trapped grate above the lizard's cell and if you trip it you end up in the cell with him.  Circle back to the player can't/won't pick the lock.  All of this Bethesda dev fuckery could have been avoided by the lizard having a force greet package to tell the player to look for the key.  Regardless, you have to talk to him to get to the 'who are you?' and 'follow me' dialogue.

I never really thought about how shit Bethesda's game design was until FO4.  To me, same game as Skyrim but with a post-apocalypse coat of paint.  It;s not helping that they not only double down on those design choices but intentionally make them worse.  For me, all gaming is losing its luster.

I mean, normally you'd expect the player to open the door of a cell first -by whatever means- and then check the containers inside the cell, that is the procedure most "normal" people would follow, as it is realistic. Otherwise you'd be either curious enough or randomly decide to check what is inside the accessible containers in the cell before you unlock the door. Even if Bethesda wanted to place the key to the door somewhere for the dumb and/or uninterested players, placing it into a container inside the cell kind of defeats that purpose. Not to mention would annoy everyone else who found the key in a container after struggling to open the lock.

The cell has a hidden stone door which opens by a lever I believe, then you go down following some stairs, the top part of the cell isn't a trap door, doesn't open. It is just there so that you can see the lizard below. The annoying thing is that the lizard sometimes stands too far away so you can't even initiate dialogue without going inside the cell.

For about a week I've been getting bombarded on Youtube with shill/cope 'Ukraine is winning' video recommendations.  Just about every one I bother to look at is cobbled together stock footage with AI voiceovers.  Can't figure out if it's a psyops or hate-watch engagement farming.  Whatever is going on, I block them and they get replaced with another channel doing the same thing.  Now when something pops up I don't recognize it gets blocked out of hand.  Pretty annoying.

I can't tell you how many videos I was given through Facebook regarding Kackles needing us to donate.  Right after she was the prime canidate this started. I kept on getting them until I realized that they were using a mailing list from the local goverment that is supposed to be used to give out details of policies, rules, general infromation regarding what is going on.

I mention that as there might be something going on with your browser.  some random cookie that they are looking at to send this to you. Perhaps you are researching news on the subject.  My browser I used for bulshit searches dumps everyting once I shut it down. Nothing stays so I get fresh results based on the ... then current searches.  I used to get a metric shit ton of shit like that and other shit I had no interest in.

What shows you how bad your group you thought you were part of is actually is can be seen as an example below:

 

https://www.foxnews.com/media/delay-bidens-dnc-speech-primetime-disrespect-sitting-president-humiliation-ritual

 

They just pushed him so late most people didn't even see him. I know some people (that liked him) waited through all that BS to see him and ended up just going to sleep before he was allowed on the stage.  Seriously? That is how you treat someone? It was bad enough that you both hid the fact that he was deteriorating from the public and then once it was so clear and the shit stunk to high heaven you ousted him. They had to go and disrespect him on what might be his last major public speech? Just wow.
