Max reviewed KOF XIV.


Tl;dw: He liked it and recommends it (especially to people who were disappointed with SFV) aside from the online being kinda funky.

LOL, Hillary Clinton made a speech that the alt right are a vast conspiracy funded by Russia to promote racist ideology by putting Donald Trump in the white house.

Talking about Internet memes and connecting Donald Trump to Alex jones, Breitbart, milo yiannopoulos, nigel farage, and to vladimir putin

This is the candidate for president. The one that's probably going to be president

Unbelievable
Everyone's blaming Russia for everything, and a good 45% of it is true. We're back in the last Century again.

I think for the NX, there needs to be kind of a state of mind set up for everyone for when it's revealed.

Every time something Nintendo is revealed (except the Mini NES, somehow), every site I see collectively utterly blows their top in rage.

I think there needs to be a bit of prep somehow so that it's easier for everyone to be hyped for the good and calm and composed about the bad.

You know... I'm curious...

What do you guys think about Resident Evil 5 and 6?

Have you played them?
5 is really fun but soooo much better with Co-Op

6 is a massive hit or miss. Although I do like Sherry/Jake's campaign

One of Trump's redeeming characteristics is that he actually supportive of the LGBTQ.

Trump has a lot of faults. But let's not insult him more than he deserves. That will only make things worse.





Also, what's wrong with conservative?
Oh yeah, he's very supportive, all he's doing now is backpedelling to try to get their votes

"More than he deserves" I was being generous actually

In a world that needs change, people want it to regress. Conservativism is what froze the world in time for about 1000 years
LOL, you're using Islamophobic like it's a real thing
Of course, because things like believing all muslims are terrorists and wanting to tag them is totally not hate

No one believes ALL Muslims are terrorists

But the mass immigration from Muslim's into countries such as Germany is causing major problems and it's not helping that Liberals keep throwing around the labels "racist" or "Islamaphobe"

The police in Germany and the UK are afraid to act against Muslim criminals because of being branded such labels. European police are lying on police reports.

And, as the Muslim Tarek Fatah said "Not all Germans were Nazi's but we didn't sit in our warrooms worried about offending them. We'd loose the war if we did"

Actually he was supportive of them before it was legal.

And that statement about conservatism is laughable. 1000 years? What? Do you know what it even means? The world has never been frozen in time. It has been moving forward for the last 10000 years. Your narrative is bizare.



But yeah, Psycho, Islamophobia is a thing.

It's a buzzword created to silence criticism

Because these days it's all about giving people labels, because the label becomes their identity and you can dismiss anything they say because of that

To be fair, I vaguely remember a documentary or two where I was left under the impression that a few Liberals want humanity to go back to being hunter-gatherers out of guilt for damaging the environment, so I think people just want to go backwards in general regardless of leanings.

As the word states, "Islamophobia" implies an irrational fear of Muslims. Phobia means irrational fear.

The fear of Muslims being potential terrorists is not an irrational fear, but one that has developed over time. The fact people have been exposed to many acts of terror made by extremist Muslims (mainly by the media, of course) causes our brains to develop a fear of anything Muslim-related.

This has, of course, roots in our basic survival instinct. Our brain subconsciously starts to perceive Muslims as a threat as part of our innate instincts. This idea is not necessarily a bad thing per se (it's a quite normal development), but it can (and does) lead to bigotry, with different levels of gravity varying per individual.

All this said, I'd rather not blame Islam itself, but any kind of extremist or fundamentalist ideal that leads to violence and intolerance, as well as the people that spread them and drag others into them. And in the conservative-progressive spectrum, a balance must be found as well. Extremist left is just as bad as extremist right.

Being too politically correct does lead to a kind of tyranny and suppression of free speech under a fear of others being offended by a wrong choice of words...

Thing is, people tend to become extremists under the presence of extremism. Either they adhere to an ideology or they try to fight it with an extremist opposite. I feel that is going to be a problem in our world for the coming years.

It's happened in the past and signs point towards it happening again. Like history is doomed to repeat itself no matter how hard some try to break the cycle. Above everything, everyone is just trying to survive their own way...

Frost basically summed up my thoughts.

Although hate crimes like the one of last year where a woman was pushed towards an oncoming train just because she was wearing a veil is awful though.

It's one thing to have a fear or disdain of a certain group, it's another to go out of your way to harm any innocent civilians just because they so happen to be a part of said group.

Just my two cents I guess....

So? This has nothing to do with actual islamophobia

Remember when the US tagged germans and prohibited them from immigrating? Yeah, me neither

Before I'm off for the night: absolutely nothing is exempt from criticism. Being criticized is part of anyone's life.

And that's not a bad thing, because that's a fundamental aspect about free speech and dialogue between multiple individuals. If one is going to be offended because someone criticized them and pointed a negative trait of theirs, then said individual is not mentally ready to acknowledge said flaw. Rejecting negative criticisms leads to one not reconsidering themselves and not questioning how they can better themselves.

Likewise, positive criticism needs to exist to counterbalance the negatives as positive traits are valuable and unneeded of change.

Giving only positive criticism leads to lack of awareness on what needs to change. The absence of positive criticism can lead to plenty of misunderstandings.

Qualities and flaws go hand-in-hand. You can't have one without the other. Overall, criticism serves to analyze what can be changed for the better and what doesn't need to be changed. After all, there's no need to fix something that isn't broken, but what is broken could use a fix.

Of course, what is or isn't broken is sometimes hard to discern...

I don't agree with everything Donald Trump specifically says

But with all the problems Europe is having with Islamic immigrants I see no problem with limiting the immigration from them into the United States.

And one of the main problems Europe is having with immigrants is their refusal, even through generations to assimilate.

If any specific muslim is able to adapt to our secular cultural values to their religious values I have no problem with them coming into the united states

He Who Fights Monsters pretty much sums up how all too many people act.

Be it Conservatives scared of terrorism or Liberals scared of oppression, there's something inside of folks of every alignment that makes them act more like the people they hate than decent human beings.

No group is truly immune to it. Some people will twist any and every ideal they find.

The fact that no one is immune to it is part of the reason why an "us versus them" mentality is unhealthy. At the end of the day, a good chunk of your side probably does something or even most things that you hate about the other side. It's best not to let yourself be too blinded by hatred to see it.

Nice! How was it?

And if you don't mind me asking, how do you get to go to such cool places?

My entire understanding of Pokemon has been challenged.

Paralysis only has a 25% chance to trigger.
Really? I thought it was 30%. Speaking of pokemon found a new rom hack to try called Giritina strikes back. Had an interesting gimmick so I started playing. Not bad so far. There are apparently around 60 fakemon and then there was this:

Needless to say I had to laugh but also question the game completely. He ran away after one turn so I guess he roams the region.

Might actually catch it lol. Still waiting for a bigfoot version of abomasnow.

Never heard that quote before. Odd it clashes with his company policy.

But...

Dude.

Did you just say the Middle Ages were because of conservatism?

Prepare to get some history in an ass blasting that will educate the ignorant.

Conservatism was a major reason why the Middle Ages ended and how the Rennassiance began. Conservatism was what preserved older literature, science and religious documents in those days. It wasn't done for the purpose of creating a new future. The idea was actually to honor the past because the past was useful. Enough of the knowledge surviving caused the Rennassiance.

And before you say conservatism started the middle ages, that'd also be wrong. The Middle Ages started after the fall of Rome which was mainly due to their new progressive form of democracy failing.


Conservatism and Progressivism are both necessary and important. And if you think one is worse than the other or one kept us back then go so your research. I could site a lot of instances where one won out over the other with varying sucess.

Don't give me this Middle Ages crap.

That is certainly true.:)

I would like to had the following: having a black and white vision of Conservatives and Liberals (or any opposing groups of people for that matters) is never a good mentality. Having such prejudices against someone who doesn't think like you is stupid : not only does it full hatred, but it makes diplomacy and the possiblity to discuss with the opposite group, which could eventually lead to finding a compromize that use the best of both ideals, impossible. Believing that every conservative are racist/fanatically religious/agaisn't LGBT rights/etc. or that every liberals want to censor freedom of speech/hates mans and cacausian/etc. just make you look bad while stopping you from befriending nice people who, just like most people, are probably regular people. Nothing is black or white, everything is gray.

Scientific advancements were non-existant because change and opposing ideas were considered heresy
I'll admit I was being somewhat extremist with that but the Rennassiance took the good from the past, not everything, yet ideas like the conservatism from now want to take the world back to how it was in the past centhury

Do you see Christians throwing gay people off of buildings? Or stoning people to death?

No, the most you see is extremist Christians angrily holding up signs with some hateful words on it. That doesn't harm anyone. Maybe someone out there has their feelings hurt, but being offended is something someone does to themselves.

The US has laws that separate Church and state. The vast majority of Muslims don't believe in that

"According to the just-released survey of Muslims, a majority (51%) agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.”

But the thing is, conervatism is literally about regressing to how things were before, sticking to traditions. What you listed was not very conversative whatsoever. What you gave an example of was extreme enviromentalism. :p

Conservitism doesn't mean to look at our past and change it, it means to look at our past and tressure it. To keep things as they were.

Hence why he used the middle ages as an example, they always conserved their traditional beliefs and got nowhere.

Not to say that it's evil, in fact many things should remain the same. And this is the problem I have with the political system, it's either your one side with all the matching opinions, or the other with all matching opinions. When most answers are somewhere in the middle.

That is certainly true.:)

I would like to had the following: having a black and white vision of Conservatives and Liberals (or any opposing groups of people for that matters) is never a good mentality.

Of course, I agree. Though it's unfornate that those in power and people really into politics choose to be all black or all white. Where most people are grey.

Here lies the problem though: Islam has many key differences to Christianity. Something people forget is that it's not only a religion, it's also a law that comes into play with many countries that EVERYONE must abide by. Unlike other religions it has more focus on none believers. And one thing that most people don't know is that the Quaran seperated into two halves. The first being about peace, but then that gets practically writtin over by the second half which is about war and cruelty. Much like how the bible has the old and new testament. That's why on one hand it's called "The religion of peace" and yet you have a ton of killing. Mohammed pretty was literally(And yes I'm using literally literally.) a war lord in the second half.

Actually, science was on the rise during those times. New breakthroughs in medicine, warfare and architecture were happening. And older organizations like the church and the government were what kept them going.

Of course there is something more troubling with your narrative, and thats that you think that science was on hold only because Europe had a bit of a bad time. Places like China, India and the Americas were doing all sorts of new things while respecting the old. But mentioning those ruins the narrative doesn't it?

And no, that's not what conservatism is now. No one is asking for a reboot on life. You're only putting your foot in your mouth more.




Regardless... I think everyone is getting sick of this and neither side is budging... We might as well end this.

Too bad all of that kinda gets thrown out of the window when someone knocks on their door and ****s everything up
And no, that's not what conservatism is now. No one is asking for a reboot on life
I never said that
back to how it was in the past centhury
Aka the 20th Centhury
It's not a reboot, but to things to remain the same

Actually, an Earth reboot wouldn't be so bad
Maybe this time with less war and killing in general
I'd put Sakurai in charge of it, he did a pretty good job with Uprising after all

Actually, science was on the rise during those times. New breakthroughs in medicine, warfare and architecture were happening. And older organizations like the church and the government were what kept them going.
Government, yeah. Church not so much especially when it threatened the work of many scientists such as Galileo. It was a good time because of wealth. Also the reinnisaunce was a cultral movement, not a conservative one. It built upon culture, it did not try to conserve culture. The church did nothing, it was the exact opposite. In the middle ages your life was all about, well, the after life. In the Reinaissance brilliant people looked back upon greek philosiphy to find their own form of humanism. To actually enjoy life, while you're living.

That has nothing to do with his point, his point that mediveval europe held back themselves because of such heavy conservatism.

And no, that's not what conservatism is now. No one is asking for a reboot on life. You're only putting your foot in your mouth more.
False accusation, he never said anything about a reboot on life. He said that conservatives want things like how they were at half a century ago, which is pretty much true in terms of things like morals and society. Most of them do look back at those days in glory.

(Edit: Yes, I'm aware he stated the whole reboot thing but that's just an exaggeration.)

Can't he just make his own goddamn mind? I'm honestly confused now
He's changed a lot since then, that's my guess.(In some ways anyway.)
