I’d argue James bond as a franchise is basically a hypermasculine fantasy and the gadgets are pretty much a tech fantasy within it. Breaking laws of physics is completely unrealistic, but the point I was making was that you don’t need to do any of these things- you could write a story about how you went to the gym and broke a treadmill (even though you didn’t) and it would be fiction. The bar to fiction is not that high.
What you’re saying is sound and I agree the plot not being real is fiction; the only problem is you said fiction required unrealistic elements and most people see “unrealistic” as basically fantasy
I wonder if I’m just getting old but didn’t this sort of thing happen in his first run? I recall even maga supporters couldn’t get dates
What’s funny is that historically, it’s usually a maga moron who does something violent. Even the guy who shot Trump voted Republican
I’m referring to this review from NLM looking at 49 papers to investigate the effects of gaming on women. It is possible to have multiple articles that contradict each other
Me arguing something can be harmful for society doesn’t mean I’m arguing it has to be abolished in its entirety. I’m not sure why you think everything has to be black and white since obviously there’s room for artistic use- remember you are the only one who thought that, or perhaps it just wasn’t obvious for you. And can you explain how unrealistic body standards is not bad for society? It isn’t far fetched seeing young people compare to beauty standards they are bombarded with. It doesn’t only happen in video games but in tons of visual media.
It is possible to have a realistic story in fiction. For example, Mad Men is a tv series that’s pretty grounded in history but the characters and everything that happens to them are the product of the writers and their research. It’s not a documentary, it’s fiction, but quite realistic.
Have you ever read historical fiction? Stories like jane eyre are not real but they’re sensible. A story can be fiction and realistic. You can write a short story based on stuff you’ve researched and seen and it’s still fiction.
Who said that was a requirement? It’s still a fact that it causes harm
I’m not sure why this is being downvoted because setting unrealistic body standards is absolutely terrible for society
Fiction can easily be realistic- You’re thinking of fantasy which is unrealistic. Fiction means it’s not a true story, not that it can’t be realistic
I live here- can confirm vast majority have a terrible education and don’t care enough about things like history or statistics of poverty. Tbh, a ton being in poverty probably doesn’t help them think about these things and there’s just this constant strain trying to live even in the middle class.
Pretty sure this would violate the constitution which guarantees our rights to travel freely between states unimpeded. I’m sure there’s ways to make it where people who decide to stay have to prove they’re safe to work with, but that’s just by increasing standards across the state rather than profiling outsiders.
Ty for the explanation. The irony is they could’ve also provided meaningful help by just transcribing it themselves for accessibility users but chose not to.
Honestly there ought to be a mandatory health exam and you must pass because you pose a huge risk if you have declining mental or physical health. This would’ve disqualified both biden and trump
I scored 14/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
I actually died at the poop emoji one. Actually amazing awareness to test for that
And they took his stapler
Well said. I don’t think people genuinely understand the technical difficulties this problem posed and how it only produced negatives- it’s like having a serious movie scene and then the main character randomly has chihuahua legs because of perspective warping. When it happens during gameplay it can be confusing, too. There’s no charm at all and it’s not the fun kind of jank like with physics ragdolls.
I wonder what they’d say if you tried reselling them near the local church
Honestly that was how I felt as well. I remember being hyped the play bl2 and then getting bored doing meaningless quests over and over. Like am I supposed to feel anything for these people asking me to retrieve parts over and over? At least do some sort of quest where they can shoot people. I thought the combat system was better but I wasn’t compelled to play through it
