- Thread starter Yung Dramps
- Start date
If half the country are bigoted assholes who choose to be bigoted assholes and can't be redeemed that says more about the nature of humanity and at that point my will to live just becomes non-existent so I fundamentally can't both believe that Trump supporters are every bit the fascists people claim them to be and also not want to kill myself. My optimism is genuinely the only thing keeping me going here, and I wholeheartedly believe if this statement is true, humanity as a whole is doomed.
there shouldn't be a place for open untested bodybuilding tbh
all it did was create a massive death cult and led to grotesque bodies being seen as athletic
any and all federations should regularly test their members (not just before the show) and ensure that no anabolics were used
it would also lead to the displayed work at shows being much more diverse. hopping on steroids makes most people with excellent genetics just look the same. natural work has much more variance

Does not feel like a hot take to say but Geometry Dash's Soundtrack is shit with very few exceptions
I bet you could name all the levels but not hum a quarter of the songs because they either sound like metal forks on plates or are so unbelivably forgettable

"hot take": no, it doesn't! it says something about the nature of the system in which we live. i could go deeper into this but i think it's still not allowed on this site so ill stop there!!!!!
Metal Gear Solid 4 story is a fucking mess that fans loved because of the big fanservice, i swear that the story and cutscenes were so unnecesarily complex and text-filled that it became a insomnia cure for me. It's not even that deep, it's just poorly explained
Obviously i know that Metal Gear and Kojima games always had long cutscenes and dialogues, but MGS4 has gone too far
I have to admit my bias because this was the last game i've played of the saga and i expected something better, but still

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 bad.
never played xenoblade so i can't tell if this Is a hot take or a cold take
Anyways have a good day stranger
- Hatsune Miku is extremely overrated. For Crypton Vocaloids, Kaito, Meiko and Megurine Luka are better. Otherwise, Gumi, Rana and Otomachi Una are much better.
- I prefer live action over animation,
- Manny and Fregley are the best DOAWK characters.
- I don't like shonen anime

You need other people's permission to like a piece of media. Too many times have I noticed YouTubers attacking others for holding divisive thoughts.
I have no investment in vocaloid at all, but nontheless have been unable to escape her influence and have slowly grown a fondness for the blue creature. that being said, her voice is like, objectively bad for songs. for meme use its solid though.
there is however a Miku song that I think is good and i'm incredibly angry with this information
It's both at the same time
Here comes another one
Playing soccer is A MILLION TIMES funnier than seeing it on TV, i could seriously got asleep while seeing a soccer game

i think we should have separate categories, one where you arent allowed to use steroids and one where you can use as many as you want.
they should do that for like. every sport actually
it'd be cool, but shifting the focus of the competition to how much of something you take + genetics probably makes it less competitive, worse for those competing, and less about the athlete's hard work in training
obviously there's a huge amount genetics already plays but amplifying that probably wouldn't be worth it, but it would be dope to see a much higher level of performance in things
"Strange Ways" is the best song MF DOOM ever rapped on.
Now this is a hot take
Don’t get me wrong almost everything DOOM touched turned to gold but I don’t even think Strange Ways is on the top half of tracks on the Madvillainy album. Then when you take into account his other albums, projects, guest verses, etc… this is a HOT take
Respect though
Not that I'm opposed to rhyming for its own sake, but that track really makes me wish DOOM got political with it more often. One of the most succinct and devastating eviscerations of police and the justice system in a genre full of such songs. The Gentle Giant sample goes unbelievably hard, too, though I probably have the more basic take that "One Beer" is the best beat Madlib ever provided for DOOM.
Google Chrome's suggestion reminded me of this, but I'm fine with using Microsoft Edge to view PDFs. As a matter of fact, I think Microsoft Edge is pretty good for like 90% of what I want to do with PDFs, which is highlighting, annotating and adding text.
i think they should make maximum league baseball a real thing
some epstein files inhabitant (i assume) is doing this with the """enhanced games""". as you might expect, everyone involved is a monumental prick.
Thought enhanced games meant s3x for a moment
from what i've heard that's just the regular olympics
It's no secret I think that the Pokemon Company rushing games out the door was inevitable and the best business decision they could do. The sooner they get a generation out the sooner they get to sell a shitload of merch of new Pokemon. The game sales mean nothing to them. But that got me thinking, and I've come to a conclusion.
The best business decision the Pokemon Company could make is to make the Pokemon games significantly cheaper, and $90 debut Pokemon games are going to hurt their profits. I'm talking the games should be $15 dollars at most, and I'd even go so far as to say they should be free. The more people play the games, the more kids get the chance to get attached to new Pokemon, the more those kids tell their parents to buy Pokemon merch for them, and the more money TPC makes. Any kid that becomes a Pokemon fan is going to get well over $90 in Pokemon cards alone over the birthdays and Christmases of the four years in between the debut games of generations. All that making the games cost $90 will accomplish is making it harder for many families to even afford the games. If the games were $10 or even free, parents would have absolutely no problem getting them for their kids, and would even be very likely to get it for them unprompted. Extorting the fan base and forcing them to spend obscene prices for games is scummy, but in this case it's also literally doing nothing but hurting them.

this is the entire purpose of their mobile games division. go and masters ex and unite and sleep and cafe and champions and all the other free-to-play stuff they crank out are all gateway drugs to the franchise as a whole
