The real bad one is Nintendo, who has recently flipped in the same way. They always had Treehouse and various pozzed as localizers, but they're now actively targeting any animu games that might glorify het*rosexuality.

I feel that might be overselling it a bit, but I definitely agree with the notion that NoA is in desperate need of a shot in the arm. NoA's been pretty much a shadow of their former selves ever since the infamous Wii Music showing at E3 2008. Their stream crashing during the Switch 2 Direct was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back/canary in the coalmine that something is definitely wrong over there.

They used to be able to put out some pretty kino ads that helped drive Nintendo's success in the US early on, and into the 90s and 2000s. Now? NoA has pretty much lost a lot of that spark they once hard, and have only coasted by because they exist as the US arm of a far more successful company.

Between the FE:Fates stuff from 2016 and the things that happened last year, the general vibe I'm getting is that NoA wants Nintendo be like a lot of the other global-homo companies, but can't push too hard because NCL has a tight leash around them (And in the case of both instances, that leesh loosened a bit because NCL was too busy preparing their next system). Especially now that Trump and his administration are trying hard to kill globalhomo, starting at the government level.

Nintendo actually closed their 2nd US office in California a few years ago, forcing all employees to either quit, or relocate to Washington where their main office is. Whether NoA's problems are theirs to blame, or if they are simply a symptom of the problems with American companies at large, I'll let you decide. And speaking as someone who followed the culture wars for half a decade, things could be a lot worse.

All in all, Make Nintendo of America Great Again.

India gets mad it's losing, fires nukes at China, China loses its shit and launches its own nukes, and so on. It can escalate because people are retarded.

You know, when I was a kid we always joked about how a nuclear war would start either because of Iran and Israel or Because of Pakistan and India

I never thought I could potentially live to see a hot war between the diarrhea siblings though.

To you and all other alarmists shivering in fear over this:
0) Nothing ever happens. Nobody fired nukes over Cuba/Iran/Israel/Ukraine and DEFINETLY no one is willing to fire them over India of all fucking places lol.
1) In case nukes don't fly: it's just jeets killing each other. Good.
2) In case they do: why would the countries in question fire tactical nukes at any other country other than each other? Unless a third party DIRECTLY intervenes in this conflict (i.e. China declares war on India/US declares war on Pakistan), which is NEVER happenning, only tactical nukes will fly and only between the two countries involved. EVEN IF we assume some retarded impossible scenario occured and somehow India/Pakistan fired an ICBM towards China/the US, there is no reason for China/the US to unholster the strategical nukes to destroy the whole world instead of just firing tactical nukes back at India/Pakistan. To summarize: this is still just jeets killing each other but spicier, the world is not ending regardless of the outcome. Awesome.

On the US front

Evil Genocidal Jew Steve Miller has just filed a lawsuit against the US Judiciary system including Chief Justice Roberts. This relates to the internal Judicial Conference of the U.S. and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts who are in charge of running the court system and it's rules.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.279777/gov.uscourts.dcd.279777.1.0.pdf

Quote:

America First Legal (AFL) argued that the Judicial Conference of the U.S. and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts — two key judicial branch bodies that frame policy and handle the basic functions of the federal courts — are executive branch agencies.

"Such agencies must be overseen by the President, not the courts,” the group, represented by attorney Will Scolinos, claimed, adding that the lawsuit “preserves the separation of powers but also keeps the courts out of politics.”

The Judicial Conference is a policymaking body for the lower federal courts established by Congress to promote public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary. The Administrative office handles the nuts and bolts of the federal judiciary, like budgets and organizing court data.

The group argued that it’s necessary to bring the bodies under the executive branch because members of Congress, who have the constitutional authority to define most of the federal court system, asked the Supreme Court in 2023 to create or adopt an ethics code for justices.

The request was in response to allegations that Justice Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas accepted, and did not disclose, lavish gifts from conservative figures who eventually had business before the court.

“Recently, the media and liberal lawmakers have sought to undermine the political independence of Article III Courts,” the lawsuit reads.

So Miller is saying that the Judaical Conference and it's Administrative Office come under the jurisdiction of the Executive Branch and not the Judaical Branch and so Trump should have final say in appointing members of this organization.

Whose the head of this office right now? Well it's Chief Justice Roberts of course.

This law suit will open up a whole can of worms and I would bet dollars to donuts that the courts will of course rule against this but the merits of the case have weight to them. This will be...interesting to watch play out.

Miller of course did the needful and judge shop just like the Democrats did so he has a very friendly judge in his corner so lets see what happens.

I now let you go back to watching the Paki's and Street shitters blowing each other up.
