They should totally make an Assassin's Creed game modeled after FC: Blood Dragon - a 5-10 hour 80's action movie inspired romp.  The animus is the perfect vehicle to fit this in the cannon even.  Hell, make this the first attempt of using an Animus prototype with Desmond's closest previous ancestor, but it all goes wrong because it's using 80's "movie computer technology".

You're saying the next historical setting should be...the 80's?

I'll contest Dino Crisis.  It definitely feels like there's some anticipation for a revival in the air since the RE2make and DMC5 announcements.

This seems like it might be of similar quality as the games ^_^

The monstervision guy!  It's been a minute since I recalled that show. I have fond memories of watching it back in the day, and had no idea he was still around.  I'll definitely have to check this out soon ^_^

Most mammals I prefer to avoid eating unless it's via more ethical means (deer or pigs that've been hunted due to harming ecosystems, etc) or I'm just really, really hungry and succumb to poor self-control.  Fish is on the table, and I see absolutely nothing unethical about eating free range chickens or turkies from certified farms. Their average lifespan there is double-triple what it would be in the wild so...

Anyone watch this yet?  How is it?

No, you're posing a hypothetical asking if it's to where we can go back to normal because things are "over enough" that that can happen. 

 

I don't think so. I don't see it that way. I'm choosing to do some things that I did before, but I'm not doing others--just as I have refrained from doing those things during the entire pandemic. It isn't over yet. 

Ah, I get what you mean now, apologies.

I would ask if they left the theater after Frodo and Sam threw The Ring into the fires of Mordor, because at that point, the movie was "over enough."

You're saying you think the idea of going outside right now is similar to traveling to mordor? Interesting take ^_^

If someone said the pandemic is over enough that limiting any travel and wearing masks when going out should be considered weird now, what would your response to them be?

That is good and fine and may be achievable, tbd here, but disarming police will simply not happen as much as I'd be fine with it because squishy libs can imagine the utility in having cops with arms. so limiting citizen interactions with police is generally the better strategy for reform, as it can be done at scale that may be achievable unlike with the Camden model

yea limiting the amount of policing via changing/updating laws, stuff like basic income, etc seems more likely to happen before de-arming police for sure.

The liberation of the international working class is more likely, it's really not worth considering.

Ignoring the bola gun stuff specifically... do you think law enforcement reform - including changing standards expected of law enforcers, policing quotas, as well as some laws (like drug prohibition) that lead citizens being negatively impacted - is an achievable goal... something worth working towards?

It's worse because this would be in addition to, not in place of, their current gear.

 

Cops won't give up their guns it's a dumb hypothetical. We're better off limiting when and in what situations cops are the means of state intervention

Ok but assuming it COULD be possible, how it would ever happen I don't know, but if patrol units were forced to switch out bullet guns for a device like that, would it mostly be a positive, negative, or inconsequential change compared to what currently exists?

It will 100% be used against peaceful protestors during "illegal" protests

Would you say a device like that is worse than what's already used by riot cops? Also, and to ask a hypothetical, if patrol units were forced to swap actual guns for the bola devices, do you think the outcome would be more positive, less, or roughly the same?

Virtua Fighter 5, Dragon's Lair collection, Knockout City, RE:Village

I'm ace, so no. A few times men have shown interest, though mostly women.

The only thing that's ever been enjoyable about his games is watching someone react to how dumb they are

Examples:

and the sequel

Whadd'ya  got?  

I'm actually winning a lot of matches somehow lol.  Tekken's usually my go-to but this game's a blast and I can't get over how smooth and responsive the controls feel.

Interesting development

Clearly this is isn't a truly safe device. It's a symptom of the militarization problem departments have and will undoubtedly cause some problems...but it sparked something I've been thinking about for a few days: Let's say most cops (patrol units, etc) were forced to use these batman gadget things instead of actual guns...how much of an improvement over the current system do you think it would be?

Shit a i remember when a squirel got stuck in my apartment and me and my dad tried to chase it out. That fucker came charging at me and jumped OVER the broom I swung at it causing me to run out of the room screaming like a teenaged girl in a slasher movie  My pops still won't let me live that down.

Squirrels are no joke sometimes. I've always been scared as fuck of them after seeing the rabbit attack scene in Holy Grail, and this news report clip I saw last year did little to alleviate that.
