Much better compared to the first marsey :3

At launch, Starfield was celebrated but it didn't take long before a hate campaign began against it and people started posting tons of negative reviews of the game. They complained about ridiculous things like the lack of vehicles (plenty of games don't have vehicles), and the lack of things to do (this is false, there is plenty to do).

The truth is that people had unrealistic standards. They wanted 1000 individually crafted planets and when they realised they were procedurally generated, people lost their shit without realising what an immense undertaking they were asking for. Starfield manages to provide a good variety of games and exploration always rewards you with amazing sights and plenty of opportunities to take photos. At the end of the day, Starfield provides more content than 99% of games out there. It is better than No Man's Sky @BILLYBIGBOLLOCKS. How you can you visit places like Neon and Akila and complain that the game is empty? There are so many settlements with an incomprehensible amount of content. There is also a host of lifeforms to discover and they all behave differently, making it exciting to explore the wild parts of planets.

People complain that many of the missions are fetch quests, but they fail to understand that much of the fun of the game comes from the journey. Traveling to different places, speaking to different characters and discovering new things is exciting, and fetch quests expose you to new content.

What I find strange is that people complain about the writing and the story. This is the best writing in a game recent. It's so fun talking to different characters because they all feel so different and they have varied motivations. I can't wait to meet new characters and it's exciting to pick what I'm going to say to them. I enjoy the persuasion situations where you have to pick the right thing to say to convince a character to do something. These are high stakes situations and I don't save scum so I deal with the consequences of my actions.

I will admit that the game is not perfect and there are some flaws. For example, there are a lot of loading screens. Secondly, 60fps mode isn't particularly stable. However, none of these shortcomings tarnish the game in a major way. Furthermore, Bethesda has listened to fans and updated the game to give players plenty of the features they have been asking for, making the game even better than it was at launch. That is a beautiful thing to do, and not many developers would do that. Thank you Todd Howard.

The hate campaign against Starfield was started by CHUDS who were mad that there weren't many conventionally attractive women in the game. You could see it on /v/, and it eventually spread to Reddit where chuds latched onto the narrative.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16c0z6n/why_are_all_the_girls_ugly/

https://old.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16g935o/why_are_the_npcs_so_darn_ugly/

Of course, this discourse spread to Steam where a bunch of reviews started complaining about ugly NPCs. You can tell its chuds writing these because they use terms like "woke".

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/4035850502436992213/

From here, it became easy to just call the whole game "woke" and the kinds of criticisms that came from this were ridiculous. People were mad that you could choose they/them pronouns!

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/3824173464657206483/

So with all this needless hate gathering around Starfield, it became a hot topic in the culture wars which led to the torrent of bad reviews. That is why there is a negative perception of the game. However, for those of us who know what the game is trying to be and are playing it with a pure heart, we recognise that Bethesda has bestowed a masterpiece upon us. This is a beautiful game with so many twists and turns. It's innovative, unorthodox, yet so effortlessly fun.

I'm feeling quite sad right now because @ToeBeans ignored me cruelly and I don't know what I did to her to deserve this treatment. However, I'm about to play Starfield and it's going to make me feel much better. I might not have true friends online, but when I'm playing Starfield, Sarah Morgan and Sam Coe are my best buddies and they'll never desert me. Here are some of my favorite screenshots from the game. Looking at them helps me feel better.

You're right, Russia was completely ignorant of the battlefield condition of the war until I posted about it.

make it more obvious you are poor. you are calling for people to be killed just because they have more money than you. i bet you voted for kamala

Poor and a poor mindset.

No such thing as free healthcare. US healthcare is better than whatever shithole you're from

Another industry the jewish chads are trying to ruin. Hope they start to hunt you greedy cute twinks like in the video so you can stop once and for all profiting off humanity, fricking vile sacks of shit.

Never trust people that make money off your life. They are all cute twinks and need to die.

What a low IQ r-slurred thing to type.

It's crazy how fricked healthcare is in America. Frick this cute twink

frick you murdering jewish chad cute twink advocating for murder just because they are more wealthy than you go to china b-word

you know how many people the CEO has killed by making his health insurance company to deny as many claims as possible, United Healthcare has one of the highest denial rates

such a clean assassination. gay butt commie loser cute twink tim walz is crying about it

There's not. You're the minority. Working class people hate leftists and everything you believe. You're sub-human trash.

Darn fine work. Nearly botched it, but got the job done in the end. If heck is real I hope this ladygarden enjoys an eternity of it.

youre a strag hope it doesnt happen to someone in your family just because they have more money than someone. calling for peoples murder is communist and a scumbag thing to do

That's your theory is it? a jealous communist took his life, not maybe a relative who died from illness because of decisions he made to make number go up?

This is why you don't live in countries where gun toting lunatics are allowed to freely possess these killing cowtools. Thats what it is these fricking rednecks Trump ball lickers latching on to their "muh guns" rhetoric is why America is in such a sad state of affairs. Europe, Canada, Asia guns are banned and they have literally zero gun deaths. I will debate anybody who thinks they deserve to own killing machines ak's, ar's, glocks, shotties.

He's right, Americans are r-slurred and shouldn't have access to guns.

You deserve to be killed.

When a working man has saved and gone without for 45 years just to have some small thing in retirement, and the modest benefit he retained from his life's labor is ripped away from him in an instant by one, single outrageous medical bill, you might get shot in the face for that.

This Thompson fellow was a real piece of fricklng pond life. I hope the shooter gets away with it and is never found. This article says he ran into Central Park so with luck he planned it out carefully, dry runned it a few times, and had his escape plan full proof.

If the shooter is smart, he had everything planned and we'll never know who he is.

If the shooter was smart, he'd have sniped him at his mcmansion in the dead of night, or blown up his car. Killing someone with a pistol in NYC is personal.

I agree. Thompson can't spend his millions in Heck.

Saidit

Might be just a black guy or illegal did it, it's nyc

NYC also has a lot of jews. They are very violent when it benefits them. You just don't hear about it because of bias in reporting. Not just in the media, but investigators selectively collect data, and groups like the FBI alter records.

But why smack the CEO? Why not the adjuster?

With ever more information coming out on the Covid vax, don't be surprised if the vax mandates by CEO's are going to have some ugly pushback from the mandate victims.

You mean, why isn't this happening more often?

Since the Federal Government staged a hostile takeover of the entire medical industry through "Obamacare"? We can't rule out the probability that the Democrat party is sending thugs out to try and eliminate the competition. They've already proved that they will use domestic terrorists and assassins to try and eliminate anyone they think is a threat to 'their power'.

Nonsensical post. United Healthcare and other insureres have profited from the large uptick of insured people ("customers") as a result of Obamacare.

Nonsensical post. I can see why you post anonymously. The Federal Government (thru Obamacare) barged into the 'insurance' industry as a competitor by lying to the people about giving them 'free health care'. They fooled the gullible and the ignorant with fairy-tales about 'if you like your plan you can keep your plan', and 'you're gonna save over $2,000 a year!'. NONE of that happened. Obamacare was an act of multi-trillion dollar fraud against the American people and it should be immediately and absolutely dissolved.

Now, now, it couldn't be her, her victims commit suicide by shooting themselves twice in the back of the head, then cut their arms and legs off, then jump into a woodchipper

Patrick, more importantly, what did he know about how the money was spent in the Harris/Walz campaign during the last 45 days where they supposedly went $20 million in the hole?

Just as important is why haven't we seen all the recordings from January 6? Mccarthy was a pus*y but all the tuff talk from Republicans, including freedom caucus, about immediately releasing all the tapes. And we got nothing and it's all been forgot about

This can't happen because New York doesn't allow guns.

Yeah, in a Stalinist way. "Death solves all problems, eliminate the person and you eliminate the problem."

When this article appeared this morning, I went to The Right Scoop and read their version of it. I also read the comments -- which were filled with sympathy and condolences for Mr. Thompson's family. Not here at Breitbart though. The BB forum was filled with hateful remarks about how it was "deserved," and stupid, lunatic speculation about Thompson "banging" someone else's wife. I went back to The Right Scoop. Now, coming back here, I see things haven't changed much.

dont leave us you are a great poster. Maybe your opinion will change some minds. Let me rephrase that your opinions does change minds

TY for the kind words. I'm not looking to change minds. But rather, looking for like-minded people. There used to be more here but....I think they are diminishing in number.

Breighbart promotes hate.

Well they give their consumers what they want. Who doesn't want to hate somebody these days?

Perhaps you are the kind of people he is referring to?

Perhaps you're the kind I'm referring to.

The lowest are below minimum wage, often in roles that pretend it's not a salary, e.g. PhD stipends are now substantially below minimum wage.

I should be rewarded (by the taxpayer) for throwing my life away on a worthless PhD

Plus junior doctors doing 90 hour weeks so their hourly rate works out at like 3 pounds

When I did mine the stipend paid me £1300 per month (which was tax exempt). I worked well beyond 37.5 hours, as does everyone in academia, in fact including all academic activity expected of me (writing, supervising students, reading papers)

Results entirely in the obvious choice to get out of this country as fast as I can. But the next vote will fix things surely.

The truth is that some, not all, of these so-called "other people" were put in this world to deceive you. Why? I don't know. But far fewer people than you think exist, actually exist.

Sonder is a midwit trap, where the midwit believes the most complex explanation because then he feels smart.

It's simpler than that.

You're under the delusion that every car carries those with "lives as vivid and complex as your own" --- why? There's absolutely zero proof of this. None.

"Sonder" is an artifact of a deluded mind, tricked by the world to believe in its boundlessness and complexity. Most of these "people" didn't exist before you saw them, and will cease to exist soon after. Anyone who tells you otherwise is off.

Eerily off.

Background

In the early-mid 2000s, LightBlueExtra was a Chicago area music BBS with a focus on the punk and hardcore scenes. My parents would never let me go to shows, but my older brother was in the scene and back in the day he used to go to see bands at The Fireside Bowl and post on LBE (he's not in this thread, if you're wondering). It was a fun, laid-back forum with lots of random shitposting and their own custom word filters. One thing that made it different from other internet forums is that almost everyone on it knew each other in real life. The core group of users and jannies ("Elitist fucks") all went to middle school together or something. By the 2000s they all had shitty new grad jobs, and were going to see each others' bands play, sleeping with other people in the scene and occasionally internet bullshit would spill over into actual IRL drama or vice versa.

I sometimes lurked, but I was too scared to post with the cool 20-somethings. I always dreamed that I would grow up, get my bellybutton pierced, and pretend to be a cool bitch on the internet. But then, by the time I was in my 20s, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr had killed forum culture. Today, LBE is a graveyard, and I was shocked to discover it's still online at all.

Setup

On January 31, 2005, OP threw down the gauntlet.

The link is broken now, but I found a snippet of the article on another old forum

By BEN FELLER, AP Education Writer WASHINGTON

The way many high school students see it, government censorship of newspapers may not be a bad thing, and flag burning is hardly protected free speech. It turns out the First Amendment is a second-rate issue to many of those nearing their own adult independence, according to a study of high school attitudes released Monday.

The original amendment to the Constitution is the cornerstone of the way of life in the United States, promising citizens the freedoms of religion, speech, press and assembly. Yet, when told of the exact text of the First Amendment, more than one in three high school students said it goes "too far" in the rights it guarantees. Only half of the students said newspapers should be allowed to publish freely without government approval of stories.

!moidmoment

If you ever want a concise illustration of how American culture has changed over the last two decades, you could do worse than this: A bunch of 20-somethings were wringing their hands that a single youngun thought unpopular opinions should be censored. In 2005, 83% of high schoolers believed in

This threat is funnier because unlike on most messageboards, when someone on LBE says "why don't you say that to my face?" there's at least a chance they will at the next show.

The Grammar King from Sorrow Mountain would be a good band name.

Anyway, it goes on like that for a while. I'm not going to screenshot the whole thread but !clinklickers it's worth a click because there's some medium-funny posts in the first few pages. By February, it looked like the thread had petered out to a natural ending:

-The Times

History

The Mitfords were an aristocratic family from Northumberland in the far north of In-Gurr-Land, right on the border with Haggis-stan. Their ancestors had been 'border reivers' which is a fancy way to say cattle rustlers who were occasionaly paid money to fight in the wars between the two nations- they were the kind of soldiers you paid when you wanted whole farms and whole farmer's families to conveniently disappear. Other prominent reiver families were the Armstrongs, the Nixons, the Bells and the Elliots. An alarming number of Burgers with those surnames are descended from the reivers as many of them were forced to flee Bongland when Scotland and England merged and they suddenly found themselves criminals on both sides of the border.

The Mitfords had managed to get themselves a peerage tho- the Barony of Redesdale- so they were legit and no-one could touch them. Here is their family crest...

Those are supposed to be moles. I thought they were duck-billed platypuses but moles are still a bit weird.

Many members of the family served as something called 'High Sherrif of Northumberland' but, far away from Sherwood Forest, their exploits against Ye Merrie Men of Yore are not recorded.

Daddy Mitford and his Daughters

Skip forward several centuries to the early 20th Century

David Freeman-Mitford, Baron of Resedale and the Lady Sydney...

...have one son, Tom, and six daughters who were- oldest first- Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah. They were, in the jargon of the time, 'debs' of some note at their coming of age- that is debutants. Debutants were young girls 'coming out' into society- needless to say, coming out meant something very different back then. This was often accompanied by a big party where young eligible men of the right breeding were invited to gawk at them. If this sounds like a meat market you would be right, but the Mitford girls were very sought-after marriage-material. They were rich, from a storied came-over-with-the conqueror Anglo-Norman heritage, and some of them (Diana particularly) were considered good-looking. In roaring 20s London they were the talk of the town and that was before they even did any of the fricked-up things they would later do. Many of them had strident views on politics and, going into the thirties, some of them would go on to create international scandals which would echo down the ages. We will start with poor old Tom who had to cope with a young life of everyone he knew wanting to frick his sisters- this might explain how he turned out.

Tom

Tom had his bussy blasted at Eton, like many Bongs of his class. His famous butt-buddies included his sister Nancy's future fiancée and the cousin of Winnie the Pooh creator A. A. Milne.

He once pretended to be an artist called Bruno Hat and took part in an art hoax which will seem very familiar as variations of it keep getting repeated to this day.

He later straightened out somewhat and banged some foids. One of whom wrote about him in a book (as we will see, foids producing mediocre literature is not a new thing) where she described him as "the handsomest man she'd ever met" and, less flatteringly, a "minature version of his father".

When war broke out in 1939 he joined up and was eventually sent to North Africa. There was some concern about sending him, you see, because of his professed Nazi sympathies- and the actions of some of his sisters, but we'll get to that.

When the war with Japan began in 1942 he was happy to be reassigned to Burma to have a crack at The Nip. He died about four months before the WHOLLY JUSTIFIED ATOMIC STRIKES ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI, when a bunch of half-starved Japanese soldiers decided to commit suicide-by-Bong and charged his position.

Over 50 Sunrise-Islanders were killed and Tom was the only Bong casualty. He was found beneath the body of a Jap soldier he had apparently killed before succumbing himself to a bullet wound in his neck.

Diana

We'll tackle Diana next because her story intertwines with many of her sisters. When they were young, her younger sister Jessica was her best friend and the two were inseparable. This will become very ironic later.

Remember what I said about 'coming out'? Well Diana made a mini-scandal by engaging and eloping with a son of the Guiness beer family when she was 17.

This is the couple in Sicily. Daddy was not pleased that his daughter had had her guts pushed in by an Irishman but, as Diana was now spoiled goods, he had no choice but to agree to the wedding. Especially when he found out how much money this beer-peddling Irishman had.

They had two sons but the marriage was headed for the rocks. Little known to the boozy Potato-neighbor, his wife was being watched by eyes other than his... cold, blue eyes which watched and waited and drew their plans against him...

Nah, actually Oswald Mosely didn't have to plan against Guiness because he had been banging his wife pretty much throughout their marriage. Mosely was pretty set-up on Diana but he was married to the great-granddaughter of Lord Curzon, the first Viceroy of India, and it would be awkward for him to divorce as his in-laws had got him his peerage. His wife was also the one who got him started in politics and had previously served with him as a Labour Party MP.

In case you've never seen Peaky Blinders, Oswald Mosely was the leader of the British Union of Fascists which was founded out of the ruins of his previous organisation The New Party which was built out of the ruins of the organisation he had stolen from Rotha Lintorn-Orman, a female WW1 ambulance driver who had repeatedly ran out into No Man's Land, to rescue wounded Bongs. Before you say, 'ah, relying on the Krauts not shooting a foid right?' this is what she looked like in 1916:

She actually deserves her own effortpost because she was pretty remarkable. Died aged 40 of booze, s*x (with both men and women) and drugs (opium being a favorite). Chaddette Chuddette manifest.

Anyway, in 1933 Lady Mosely died suddenly of peritonitis. Before you jump to any conclusions, Oswald was heartbroken and even Diana could not console him. Fortunately, his wife's younger sister could, and Ossie fricked the pain away with a younger, tighter version of his dead wife.

Then he married Diana straight after she finally divorced that dreadful Irishman.

_{Diana did not look happy with the outfit her husband asked her to wear that day}

Diana's marriage to Mosely strained her relationship with most of her family. Her parents considered the two to be 'living in sin'. Jessica couldn't get over Mosely's politics and learned to hate her sister for them too. Nancy despised Mosely too but learned to get along with him for the sake of her relationship with Diana- Nancy would never make a good Redditor. She did eventually ruin things by writing about Mosely in her book Wigs on the Green and she and Diana stopped speaking until after the war. The rest of the family got along very well with Ossie- history does not record if Tom tried to get his bussy blasted the fascist leader.

In 1934 Diana's sister Unity took her to Nazi Germany. After they attended a rally- just for funsies, you know- Unity asked Diana if she'd like to meet 'her new friend Adolf'. Diana would return with her husband the following year. Unbeknown to them, they were being watched by other eyes... cold, blue eyes which watched and waited and drew their plans against them...

Well, not Winston Churchill actually- Churchill had behaved far too Chuddy during the Great Depression- wanting to turn the army loose on protesting miners, that kind of thing- so Stanley Baldwin kicked him out the government. But MI5 and MI6 both had their eyes on the Moselys.

Diana and Oswald were married in 1936 at the home of Josef Goebbels. Diana had never expressed any antisemitic sentiment and the BUF had largely avoided ragging on the hebes until after their visits to Nazi Germany. Clearly Hitler must've had an impression on them because they came back determined to act like an American college student in 2024. The resulting carnage when BUF blackshirts attacked a Jewish part of London was known as "The Battle of Cable Street" and was a massive PR disaster for all things Chud in Bongland. Rising fear of Hitler and the danger of him igniting a new war meant that the Moselys' trips to the Third Reich looked increasingly bad. Mosely tried to rebrand his party as the 'British Union', dropping the F-word, but when war finally broke out, Churchill's new coalition government decided that Ossie and Diana should probably spend the war under lock and key. An MI5 document from the time described Diana:

"Diana Mosley, wife of Sir Oswald Mosley, is reported on the 'best authority', that of her family and intimate circle, to be a public danger at the present time. Is said to be far cleverer and more dangerous than her husband and will stick at nothing to achieve her ambitions. She is wildly ambitious."

When the filth came to arrest her she stuffed a signed photo of Hitler under her newborn son Max's cot. Max, btw, would become the chief executive of Formula 1 motor racing in later life and successfully sued the News of the World for this headline:

Not because it wasn't true he was into bondage and hookers but because it "wasn't in the public interest" to know he was into bondage and hookers.

Anyway... initially the Moselys were held separately but Churchill would personally allow them to stay together after 1941 in Holloway prison. They were moved to house arrest in 1943 and released in 1945 although they were denied passports until 1949. Mosely was not stripped of his knighthood.

Evelyn Waugh, a friend of Tom (buttsecks not confirmed but heavily implied), said Diana wore a diamond swastika upon her release from prison.

Post war Ossie tried to revive the Union but failed. The couple moved to France for a while where they were neighbors of the Duke and Dutchess of Windsor...

Yeah, them. Here's charming old Uncle Edward & Auntie Wallis with their neices Elizabeth and Margaret...

Oswald continued to frick around throughout his marriage to Diana. She said of this; "I think if you're going to mind infidelity, you better call it a day as far as marriage goes. Because who has ever remained faithful?"

He died in 1980. She died in 2002. Of Hitler and the holocaust here are some of her remarks:

"I didn't love Hitler any more than I did Winston [Churchill]. I can't regret it, it was so interesting."

"Well, of course, horror. Utter horror. Exactly the same probably as your reactions." However, when asked about having revulsion against Hitler for this, she said that "I had a complete revulsion against the people who did it but I could never efface from my memory the man I had actually experienced before the war. A very complicated feeling. I can't really relate those two things to each other. I know I'm not supposed to say that but I just have to."

And a couple of stories about her and God's Chosen People:

The journ*list Paul Callan remembered mentioning that he was Jewish while interviewing her husband in Diana's presence. According to Callan, "I mentioned, just in the course of conversation, that I was Jewish—at which Lady Mosley went ashen, snapped a crimson nail and left the room ... No explanation was given but she would later write to a friend: 'A nice, polite reporter came to interview Tom [as Mosley was known] but he turned out to be Jewish and was sitting there at our table. They are a very clever race and come in all shapes and sizes.'"Diana offered to entertain her teenage half-Jewish nephew, Benjamin Treuhaft, on a trip to France. The offer was refused by Benjamin's mother, Jessica, who remained estranged from Diana over the latter's political past.

"Maybe instead they [European Jews] could have gone somewhere like Uganda: very empty and a lovely climate"

Jessica

Everyone called Jessica 'Decca' and I'm doing the same cos it's easier to type. The way some people around here act, you'd think people like Decca were invented by social media but that's not true. Long before reddit, twitter and all these other 'spaces', Decca hated her parents (because they were fascists), hated her country (because it was fascist), hated the media (because it was fascist) but didn't hate her sister Diana until she married an actual fascist. Some would say that points to Diana being far more influenced by her husband and her pal Adolf than any ideas in her own horsey-nosed blonde head but that doesn't really scan with her later life.

Wikipedia insists that Decca rejected her father's wealth and status but, of course, that was only true after she copied her sister and ran off with a wallet... I meant man- her cousin actually. They ran off to join the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War. George Orwell's wife apparently hated Decca after the latter enthusiastically supported the Red Terror, where the Soviet-aligned Brigades purged the Marxist-Anarchist Brigades to which the Orwells were members. I recommend Orwell's book Homage to Catalonia if you want the full story on that shit-show.

So, a privileged foid with daddy-issues and very left-wing politics who turns authoritarian at the drop of a hat...

Burgerland was the obvious destination for such a lady.

Her Cousin-Husband dead in the war (officially MIA but I think we can now- in 2024- confidently say he died), she would marry Jewish American civil rights lawyer Robert Treuhaft with whom she joined the Communist Party of America. She had literally been in the country for less than six months. Incredible people complain about modern immigrants. In their defence, they both left the party in 1958 after the Soviet invasion of Hungary.

Along with her husband, and a bunch of other leftie celebrities, she campaigned against the r*pe conviction of Willie MacGee

_{wearing t-shirts over your suit was the 40s equivalent of taking the knee}

In the 50s, Decca and her husband refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee and she wrote a book pooping on her new homeland:

And a book pooping on her family:

She wrote other things and her letters are published. It's all exactly what you'd expect. Wikipedia insists they're 'classics'. Remember that MI5 document talking about 'best authorities' on Diana's character? Yeah, that was almost certainly Decca. Her last meeting with Diana was around the deathbed of their sister Nancy. Of Decca, Diana said this:

"I quite honestly don't mind what Decca says or thinks. She means absolutely nothing to me at all. Not because she's a Communist but simply because she's a rather boring person, really."

She was also a shitty mother surprise, surprise.

Decca died in California, like all good communists.

This has turned into a bigger thing than I thought. If enough people show an interest, I will write up on the final four Mitford girls- Debo the Dutchess, Pamela the (alleged) lesbian chicken farmer, Nancy the 'Woman' and Unity...

Yeah, Unity is really something else.
