So what is the line between DEI and just having diversity for story and variety? Eli and Alyx fit the setting and feel grounded, Chell being Asian and Glados being female doesn't send any red flags, Demoman doesn't seem out of place in TF2.
This just goes to show being called a Neocon is fighting words among even those beyond the thunderdome. Careful... this thread is full of em!
If you have BPD, or some other mental disorder, you have an entirely different can of worms than the average person and probably need therapy for medication and basic functioning.
Take the fucking piss, you faggot. Sure, severe trauma can ravage the brain. However, that water is something that has been long since pissed in. What a real psychiatrist considers trauma and what the average person you find on the street considers as trauma are not the fucking same and it's 1000% the fault of grifting therapists in the industry. Your average "close friend" can't deal with a person who was kidnapped and tortured and molested by a serial killer, sure. However, your close friend can absolutely help you deal with Daddy leaving for milk and never coming back. The problem is bad therapists have clung to this notion to gain clientele through years. They've completely redefined the notion of trauma to get more customers. "You have trauma. Everyone has trauma. Everyone has gone through traumatic experiences." You go to any college campus in the psych rooms, and that's all you'll ever hear parroted. Nobody is mentally healthy. Mentally healthy people don't make me money.
These are the people I largely have a problem with. It's not a coincidence having a therapist became trendy though and if you think it is, I have a bridge to sell you. It's a very flooded field with a lot of sunk cost fallacy. The thing people don't talk about; it's fucking expensive to become a therapist.
You've been proven to be another fucking woke grifter non-gamer tourist in video game threads. Lurk moar and talk less about old games you retarded faggot.
Fun fact: the electromagnetic pulse generated during a nuclear explosion is actually caused by the fluctuations of magnetic fields in the atmospheric molecules electrons.
Bro they strap them to the front of zpus, that shit is actually pretty brutal.
I don't think there was any political drive behind the Vance's. Eli's Half Life 2 appearance is based off some random bum that lived outside the Valve office.
Unless the faggot yes men she hired are gone too, nothing is going to change. They'll just replace her with another cunt with the same views.
Eli is also meant to be one of the random NPC scientists who was in the control room when everything went to shit in HL1, who happened to have dark skin as part of the character model.
Quality characterization. DEI often takes shitty characters, and then tries to excuse their shitty characterization with their race or gender identity. If you have a likeable character who's black in a place and time that makes sense to have blacks in, nobody cares. Its when you start damaging the immersion of the universe with characters that just do not make sense that you start to have problems. The most common DEI character archetype you see these days is someone who is incredibly emotionally fragile, who also just so happens to have managed to train themselves to a peak level of physical or combative prowess, despite the fact that it takes a huge amount of emotional and mental fortitude to push through that kind of physical development.
I wouldn’t consider it humane when the method is chosen because it gratifies dear leader.
...There are people who believe this?
Every time magnets get brought up I turn into
yeah tbf when Star Tours first opened back in the 80s it was AFTER Ewoks and Droids had shit the bed
tbh I never played any of the halflifes, I mostly wandered off from gaming around the advent of 3d hardware accelerators
While a 37mm shell turns a person into watermelon jello, those 14.5s are gonna rip you new assholes all over, and I’m pretty sure they feel something.
Lucas was paid mostly in stock options, not actual money. He's the largest single shareholder in Disney. Also it should be remembered that the state of Star Wars is his fault as he was the one who sold to Disney in the first place.
