Never identified as an MRA but, having dipped my toe into the waters on that shit a bit, straight up I honestly genuinely unironically think they don't actually give a shit about male suicide rates or "men" in general at all. They are for one reason or another as a whole: deeply selfish bitter reactionary people who don't care about community and they are basically cosplaying like they have one.

And really that isn't surprising because the truth is that if you actually ARE serious about digging into and addressing any of the grievances they claim to be concerned with you will actually start to realize that essentially ALL of them are symptoms of cis white male patriarchy under capitalism. Take family court for example. Half of MRAs probably think there's some kind of feminist cabal out to persecute fathers but the degree to which family court favors mothers (if at all) is the result of: 1: Old crusty white male judges who decided centuries ago that a woman's role is to be nurturer and a father's role is to work a job. 2: The reality that men are in general not conditioned to build and maintain support networks through friends and family which in turn makes the logistics of childcare more difficult.

The story is fine (or at least better than 5 or infinite for sure), but the game itself...urgh.... The art style and general look of the (former) covenant races look kinda murkey and noisy, the look and feel of everything is just off and the prometheans just flat out SUCK to fight. The only things I think I can actually even remember about that campaign are the setpiece parts where you're flying/driving something or whatever. The missions mostly blur together and aren't fun to run like Halo 1 or 3, or even some missions of 2.

God fucking speed!

Oh he did the thing!!! THe thing Maximus did with the dirt! He said the line "strength and honor"!!! LE EPIC!!!!

For whatever little it's worth, Lt. Dane called the airstrike and not him.

Literally what I was about to say. I actually think the original tweet isn't actually that far off and this is sort of in the vein of the criticism that Star Wars kinda invariably winds up making the empire, and be extension fascism, look really cool.

Cause like here's a hot take....giant 20 story tall death robots are fucking cool and metal as shit when they actually work.

I might buy the metal gear collection and some indie titles. Kinda want to buy more but I've already got such an insane backlog.

Difference is I'm asking WTF is up with that right now.

He's not even fit for office right now let alone holding office for another 4 years starting 6 months from now.

I think people seriously understate this part of the current political calculus going on.

I put it as a coin flip right now whether or not Biden gets swapped out but if the party leaders and the media adopt the position that he is unfit to serve another term due to cognitive decline....isn't that an implicit acknowledgement that he is unfit to serve and should step down right now?

I just read that and saw the date stamp! WHY DID WE TALK LIKE THIS!!?!?!?!?

Am not vegan. Reason: I like eating meat, eggs, and cheese.

Probably my least leftwing beliefs concern animal rights, although I do think the environmental concerns due to farming make a compelling case for the switch.

Geralt is the reason I have never been able to get into the Witcher series. By all accounts the Witcher 3 is one of the greatest RPGs of all time with an insane amount of depth but I just can't get over the fact that I have no choice to play a character that reads like a 15 year olds checklist of hyper cool masculinity. I get that the character has been around for a while and it wasn't so much a cliche when he was first written but sheesh....I just have a hard time taking him seriously.
