the difference is that discussions about robocop are exclusively about the original
if youre convinced the wolfenstein and doom reboots have the same impact and relevance as robocop (2014) youre entirely allowed to stay that way, im not gonna try and shake you out of it
I mean, if someone says “Doom and Wolfenstein” without specifying “Doom Eternal” and “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW), I’m thinking of Id.
that makes sense, especially since Doom eternal is in fact still developed by id
Wolfenstein and Doom have both reached significantly more people since they got adopted by zenimax though, so most folks who actually played the games will have probably gotten introduced to them as Bethesda published games
“Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW),
lol ok
Dude! The original ones were cultural touchstones in a market that wasn’t yet oversaturated. They literally invented and defined the whole genre!
the original ones were undoubtedly MUCH more popular in their time.
i mean sure, but that also doesnt matter to the point i was making
More people might be playing the new ones NOW
which is why most folks are probably not talking about the old games when they say they like wolfenstein and doom
i assumed they were talking about the bethesda published reboots, what with them being significantly more popular than the earlier games
doom and Wolfenstein are published by bethesda
thats awesome
who are you
if rehabilitation is possible, there is no real benefit to society to just keep folks in prison indefinitely, and in fact refusing to accept change for the better disincentivises folks from doing so
besides this just being false, her being considered an easy target is still pretty unambiguously influenced by society’s unfavourable view of trans folks
this isnt false, but it still feels a bit off to frame the female murderer as being way more accepting of trans folks
“a naval blockade without weapons”, also known as ‘asking nicely to pwease stop’
man i wish there were some way to test that theory
maybe we could do sort of a ‘stopping the ongoing genocide’ test run, see how they respond
and then keep it going indefinitely because genocide is bad
sounds like they need to put some pep in their step stopping the ongoing genocide then
i mean palestine not being recognised as an independent nation wouldnt mean that the actual place, or leople there are not recognised as existing or being part of a country
but also
The State of Palestine has been accepted as an observer state of the United Nations General Assembly in November 2012.[1][2] As of 2 June 2023, 139 of the 193 United Nations (UN) member states have recognized the State of Palestine. In contrast Israel is recognized by 165.
On 22 November 1974, the PLO was granted non-state observer status, allowing the PLO to participate in all Assembly sessions, as well as in other UN platforms.[34] On 15 December 1988, UN General Assembly Resolution 43/177 acknowledged the Palestinian Declaration of Independence of November 1988 and replaced the designation “Palestine Liberation Organization” with “Palestine” in the United Nations system.[35]
- On 23 September 2011, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas submitted an application for membership of Palestine in the United Nations.
- On 29 November 2012, the General Assembly granted Palestine non-member observer state status in United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19.
- On 17 December 2012, UN Chief of Protocol Yeocheol Yoon decided that the constitutional name ‘State of Palestine’ shall be used by the Secretariat in all official United Nations documents.[36]
if im understanding this correctly, the UN recognises palestine as an independent state to the extent that it actually can but ultimately has no control over whether individual member states actually recognise it as an independent state
its a complete embarrassment that denmark still has a royal family
who knew that a walking, talking arrow with “THIS IS ISLAMOPHOBIA” written on it would actually be correct sometimes
criticising other countries is banned if you were born in the wrong country
it’s ‘i’m afraid’ for me
oh i misread the comment you were replying to
no, the king has no real political power and constitutionally cannot have any
in fact, in practice he barely has a job in general and only exists to (?)
not until he forms a coalition
thats great
the reboot is still probably most fans entry point to the franchise and frame of reference for discussing it, especially during a discussion about Bethesda
that is not any kind of dig at the older games, the quality of them is entirely irrelevant to the point i was making
you dont need to come to the defense of them, especially by venting about games that i also do not care about
