  1. Multiple hands-off previews/impressions released today: Forspoken Looks Pretty But Its World Seems To Be Empty - GameSpot WWW.GAMESPOT.COM Forspoken seems to be a call back to '90s and early 2000s isekai stories, back when the Japanese genre more regularly featured female protagonists. Forspoken puts magic at the center of everything, from combat to exploration | GamesRadar+ WWW.GAMESRADAR.COM Luminous Productions on the magic spells and parkour in Forspoken Forspoken: Hands-Off Preview - IGN WWW.IGN.COM We saw an extended look at Forspoken, an eccentric take on the open-world RPG from Square Enix's Luminous Productions which aims to set a new bar for art and technology for the Japanese developer. Forspoken Preview: This JRPG Still Has A Whole Lot To Prove WWW.THEGAMER.COM Luminous Production's RPG is gorgeous and ambitious - but it's sorely lacking in personality right now. Preview: Forspoken | Console Creatures WWW.CONSOLECREATURES.COM We got a glimpse of gameplay of next year's Forspoken from Luminous Productions and Square Enix. Forspoken is Square Enix's Newest International Collaboration WWW.FANBYTE.COM The latest title from Luminous Studio is being made with an international eye using key creative talents from the west.
  2. Another thing that absolutely gets my goat is that it's practically NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE for even legal immigrants to many European nations to become fully-fledged citizens of the countries in which they reside. Hell, that even extends to subsequent generations of their families who seemingly exist in this netherworld of neither being a "citizen" nor a "visitor" for perpetuity. In such a condition -- largely imposed by the State itself -- how is any form of reasonable cultural/societal assimilation even remotely possible? In summary: I don't give a rat's ass what any European has to say about the United States in regard to these type of issues. Not in the very least.
  3. The Ringer's take: Max Verstappen’s Formula 1 Championship Was the Perfect Encapsulation of a Wild F1 Season WWW.THERINGER.COM A neck-and-neck battle with Lewis Hamilton ended in controversy. At least it made for great television.
  4. I think the key difference between the "negative" aspects to cultural assimilation between the French Republic and the United States stems from where the "pressure" to do so originates. In the French Republic, the pressure originates directly from the State itself while in the United States, the pressure is largely societally-driven.
  5. I'm going to push back on this a bit and suggest that American cultural assimilation is far more permissive of allowing those cultures to retain aspects of their identity than what is considered acceptable in the French Republic. American cultural assimilation doesn't mean nearly the total abandonment of practically all aspects of their culture as is the case in France.
  6. I'm fairly convinced that the reason that African-Americans are treated marginally better in France is simply a case of one-upmanship with the United States.
  7. I know that Germany has its own racial issues in regard to the economic and social plight of its significant Turkish population, but at least they're not even remotely as arrogantly condescending as the French Republic and its hollow words of liberté, égalité, fraternité.
  8. And let's not forget that the reason those immigrants from the former Francophone colonies are in France to begin with is to do the "dirty jobs" that "respectable" French people absolutely refuse to do.
  9. The cultural assimilation that the French Republic "demands" is absolutely nothing like the cultural assimilation here in the US.
  10. For all intents and purposes, that's the implication of French Republican assimilation.
  11. How Cryptocurrency Revolutionized the White Supremacist Movement WWW.SPLCENTER.ORG White supremacists embraced cryptocurrency early in its development, and in some cases produced million-dollar profits through the technology, reshaping the racist right in radical ways, a Hatewatch
  12. The French -- just like EVERY other European nation, and ESPECIALLY goddamned France -- have absolutely NO BUSINESS WHATSOVER when it comes to lecturing Americans on these types of issues. NONE!
  13. I, for one, am UTTERLY SHOCKED that the CBP would have such an operation. UTTERLY. SHOCKED! Operation Whistle Pig: Inside the secret CBP unit with no rules that investigates Americans NEWS.YAHOO.COM Documents obtained by Yahoo News show that the Counter Network Division, a secretive entity within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, routinely used sensitive databases to obtain financial and personal information of journalists, government officials, congressional members, NGO workers and others.
  14. He absolutely should've gotten it that year, but Time obviously wanted to avoid the "Hitler is PotY" scenario.
  15. I remember the time when Anne "re-converted" to Catholicism for about 5 minutes Edit: upon further review, it was about 5 years, but you get the point
  16. The Time PotY is generally someone who has had a significant impact politically/culturally/socially/etc. Exactly what has Musk influenced other than the stock price of his own company?
