Five minutes of hate news

Where does Baulder's Gate 3 fit into this? Larian is a pretty big studio from an employee standpoint at this point and graphically the game is clearly not a low end title. BG3 was so well received by gamers that many of the AAA studios and their mouthpiece media went on rants about how it couldn't be considered the "new standard" for RPGs, which is hilarious as for decades that was what AAA studios were always trying to pull off: making a new standard.

'I completely forgot about it' would be where that fits in.

So I suppose that's two.

This is also what led to the introduction of player-hostile monetization, as those business people were looking for ways to earn more profit from games than they already were.

I kinda appreciate the whole monetization-fad that is ongoing, because it saves me a lot of money.
If I see a game doesn't come with everything when you buy it, I just don't buy it anymore.

CBS runs propaganda against removing the fluoride from drinking water.

The whole fluoride argument is so damned retarded, even if it is great for your teeth, best case scenario, why the fuck would they make you EAT it? For that matter why would it be put in the endless gallons of water flushed down the toilet, down sinks, and used on your skin?
There wouldn't be mass dumpings of fluoride in household water, it'd be used exclusively in toothpaste or other dental stuff. Or exclusively in bottled water as a marketing gimmick "Water that makes your teeth better!?". Ironically the OPPOSITE is true, and a lot of bottled water notes the LACK of fluoride as the gimmick!!!

People have to be taking the piss when the same governments that actively hate and are trying to genocide their own populations "Really care about the people and their dental health!" give me a break!

A very fluffy PR piece at that, since they don't actually say anything.
That is, they do NOT tell you what happened to that town that removed flouride from its water. its just a clickbait article title.

I could only stomach about a third of the video, they just blabber. The Most popular comments all complain about the fact they don't even answer this so if those comments are to be believed the part at the end I skipped does not say it either.

They just suggest based on the opinion of one dentist that it will cause more tooth decay.

I honestly thought Larian was more AA than AAA, but then I never really had a good definition for the distinctions.

AA and AAA got blurry when even smaller businesses could get a fuckload of funding, while lower-tier AAA stayed about the same levels of funding. With only the complete glutton-companies going for the 'LODES OF MONEY' sorts of budget.

Compared to something like GTA6? Yeah Larian is AA.

Here's a little hate from South Africa. President Ramaphosa just signed the Expropriation Bill which will allow the govt to take land, for potentially no compensation, if the govt. deems it's for a better public purpose.

South African politics is tribal politics, with the Afrikaners and English-speaking whites merely being other tribes. What do you do with a tribe you see as an enemy? You take everything from them, if you can.

 

[ThatZenoGuy]

South Africa is a headspin because the 'black people' there aren't even natives, they're Bantus who showed up and killed all the less aggressive native Africans, including pygmies and such.

It's like a bunch of Chinese showing up in Vietnam, eating everybody and then getting pissed off when a bunch of Americans turn Vietnam into a nuclear capable nation.

Tribals thought bald people had gold inside their heads.
They...Look sure they CAN be neato but dear lord at least the African continent is a nightmare.

I suffered racism as someone who looks European, for being African (EDIT) because "Brasil is in Africa" logic. But frankly, seeing South Africa now, if the inevitable seems to happen, I will say :

"You managed to fuck up even more than an embargoed, supremacist, dysfunctional government when you got power. It shouldn't have been harder to do just a little better!"

Even neighboring Botswana is tribalisc yet it is the arguably most successful African state.

True,but why? becouse tribal really do not mean stupid,only belive in his own superiority and special rights.
Most jews are tribal,too - and they are certainly not stupid.
So why africans could not follow their example?

I could explain it, but I'd lose my nobel prize for discovering DNA in the process.

As a note for posterity, I am critical of other countries as I am of my own (Brazil, Italy, and the countries my ancestors were from : Portugal and Spain).

True, not ALL tribals are stupid.
These specific tribals are.

These are the fruits of disgenics in action. West has been giving them unlimited food for a while. Those who managed to avoid having local warlords setting the food on fire to deny it to the poor have seen a massive over breeding of super low IQ people. Who, somehow, do not have their IQ go up with modern amenities.

Our countries are going down this course too. As IQ has been in freefall in all western nations.
see: Idiocracy.
It is an excellent documentary about the subject

Idiocracy has a massive conceit that is exactly what you'd expect from arrogant intellectuals:

It pretends that only low-IQ people are gullible and vulnerable to being convinced of nonsense. By contrast, high-IQ intellectuals IRL are some of the most likely to believe utter nonsense, evidence be damned, if it suits their egotistical self-image.
