  • I’m sorry but this is just wishful thinking and active whitewashing, sure he doesn’t say Sinwar individually killed 1,200 “innocents”, but he says Sinwar masterminded the attack that killed 1,200 “innocents.”

    The only way history will show that Bernie had a good heart is if someone donates him a new one, where is the good heart in calling IOF soldiers innocents? He is treating Israelis as ontologically innocent.





  • That literally does just look like what people do when hunting if they aren’t interested in doing anything with the innards, it’s simpler to get everything out right away so that there’s no risk of contamination.

    I’d say that assuming this is near a regular walking route its definitely some extremely bad manners from whoever did it in that case though. It’s one thing to leave stuff out where it’s safe to assume other animals will get to it, but near where regular people walk is nasty.

    Apparently there isn’t supposed to be hunting around there, but the alternative scenario in that case surely would be that some other animal carried it there or whatever. What sort of supposed satanic ritual just coincidentally leaves a set of internal organs that look identical to when a hunter is trying not to puncture anything and get nasty organ stuff all over?


  • I think this kind of anti-African panic has been long simmering in the UK too, I recall reading about a 2002 case where the remains of a young black boy were discovered in the Thames, and the “loony” opinion was that it was satanists, while the measured and reasonable opinion printed in shit like the Telegraph was that it was probably “African witch doctors”

    Aside from that, the organs in the attached photo just actually look intact and relatively unremarkable aside from not being inside of an animal, surely the only thing you could test for in that case would be if stress hormones or similar are built up, which could be any kind of pain and stress, or like if they find weird poison in a stomach?


  • Sorry but just feels kind of besides the point, like the show has uniformed soldiers be unable to shoulder a rifle when firing it for no good reason.

    They launch plenty of sophisticated ambushes with RPGs or machine guns offscreen, once in a while an RPG might actually be shown firing onscreen, they have no issues wanting to hit their targets.

    The show might even have US soldiers commend the dead bodies of Iraqis for being brave or clever, but the second one is shown fighting on camera they adopt some mandated jihadi firing stance that involves squatting and firing wildly over their heads.


  • Watching Generation Kill cause I needed some mindless slop to lift to at home and man.

    Besides everything else that’s been said about this fucking show, I’m pretty sure there’s not a single shot of any non-American shooting a rifle properly.

    All competent enemy fire is either off screen or from a vehicle, but the second they are on camera, they are doing the squat and shooting over their heads.

    Like literally just racist to the most basic elements of the show, the incidental battle footage is filled with incompetent less than humans getting mowed down without a real fight.





  • I’m probably a bad person to try and explain what to look out for in the remake compared to the original because I think the remake fundamentally has boring generic design for the gameplay. I think the original game has a unique experience with the atmosphere and the general traversal of the world, with the camera oftentimes deliberately forcing you to head towards unknown areas that you can’t fully scout ahead of time, and a lot of the moment to moment scares within the gameplay rely on that, also it uses wide angles to emphasise isolation in a lot of the outside areas while using close ups to emphasise the cramped indoor spaces.

    As far as the combat gameplay goes it does seem like that’s more of a draw for you so I definitely see how Signalis would work better, and the new remake might work better just by virtue of following very blatantly in the footsteps of RE2 and RE4s remakes with tactical locational damage as a pretty critical part of crowd management, from what I’ve seen.
