Vanishing all jeets too quickly will lead to bigger problems. Too many companies are too reliant on them. We would, unfortunately, cripple ourselves if their removal is done too quickly. Slow, deliberate de-incentivisation is the proper prescription for the Jeet Menace.
Any company dependent on jeets deserves to crumble. Our society will recover

Super Castlevania is just a shitty remake of CastleVania with dumbed-down difficulty.
It’s only a remake in story, the actual game has little resemblance. To be honest, none of the castlevania games were particularly difficult if you had the proper gear for each boss, that’s sort of the point. Holy water for instance utterly destroys Death and Dracula in the original game.
 
It was not. It pioneered role playing elements. The other NES castlevanias were unplayable and had no gravitas or mystique
castlevania 2 and goonies 2 on NES are the first metroidvanias ever created, and they did so without needing the DNA of metroid as they developed their game entirely in an age without even maps, and yet did so better than metroid 1 and 2.

america is also where a lot of those NES games that defined genres and generational great games made their big debuts. speaking OF metroid, it sells like shit in japan, but it sells amazingly everywhere else.


i'll take a crack at it explaining it for you twix eater.

I seemed to think it was pretty clear that Trump had likely sold nuclear secrets to some Arab nation (can't remember now, maybe Saudis) for a lot of money. And that he was storing TS files in Mar-A-Lago in an unsecured closet or bathroom or something.
if that were true, it would have been everywhere under biden. it would have resulted in the nuclear progress of an arab nation. it would've been proven when they stormed mar-a-lago and illegally did what they did. it was never more than a leftist suggestion because they wanted an excuse ex-post-facto (after the fact) to justify the raid of biden's political enemy. it also led to a question that needed to eventually be answered about classification with the ultimate answer being that the president does not have to tell anyone that something is declassified if he doesn't want to, it's his decision for documents about completed projects.

thought Trump had Tweeted a picture of some military installation of an enemy that revealed classified/TS materials; capabilities of our camera system that was previously unknown.
that was also cope from leftists. many presidents have 'accidentally' let something slip, but it's never an accident in my view, no matter who did it. they know what we're capable of, spend a long time figuring out how to show our enemies the capabilities they want them to know about. that was what that was. a nice fuck you to the other states with space surveillance that ours is still generations ahead. i suggest googling to see pictures of stealth aircraft such as the post-bin laden stealth blackhawk we've developed. you won't find any, despite trump absolutely having pictures of them, because that's not something we want to subtly tell our enemies we have.

The Republicans effectively dismantled the USPS machines to steal the election; some Trump-appointed postmaster at the helm (black guy, I think) was facilitating the destruction of big sorting machines. I assume it was related to mail-in ballots.
literal projection. not even a single lawsuit filed about it. what actually happened in '24 though was that georgia's mail in ballots were being authenticated with no oversight and no signatures, so THEY definitely did perpetrate at least voting fraud in 2024. remember that the fraud was over 100,000 (much over but you'll see that's technically irrelevant), and trump only lost georgia by 30,000ish. they literally stole the state OPENLY.

Did Trump/GOP ever talk about dismantling/privatizing the USPS because it "loses money?" I thought it was a constitutionally guaranteed service (which doesn't lose money, but costs money), but remember some shit about an unheard of demand to pre-fund like 75 years of retirees benefits or somethig.
only the most vague of 'i wonder if a private company could do it better' tweets and a statement that private mail doesn't have the delays that the USPS does. it is not being dismantled or removed, and no republicans have so far put forth any kind of reasonable proposal to do so into legislation, nor has trump hinted he might with EOs.

Was there ever actually any evidence the election was stolen? I know they had a bunch of court cases and remember them all being embarrassing Ls, such as that drunk lady.
this one i'm not 100% certain on, but we did get proof of election fraud in 2025 for the 2024 elections, and biden's numbers between 2020 and 2024 don't actually match up with what happened. not to mention that biden's spikes all came from mysterious late night or post-election mail in votes which were 'found' in many different places or 'delayed until such time as they arrived'. it was EXTREMELY suspect, and because of that, many people WANTED to investigate. if you recall, they spent several years of biden's admin trying to punish anyone who began looking for voter fraud, instead of doing open investigations to prove themselves innocent by a third or even fourth party.


this nigger is insane. we're not seeing a fucking tactical nuke. why in the fuck would we use a tactical nuke strike when we have conventional tactical munitions which do a better job without radiation damage to areas we want their new government and their civilians to inhabit. that's just bloodfeast-posting because people are now quite thirsty for it after venezuela. you'll see the left, all of it, and neocons on the right salivating over the idea of carpetbombing the entire middle east in a glowing radioactive chainbomb, but in reality that would be one of the most insanely psychotic things in the world, because it would also ruin the entire middle east FOR OUR OWN PURPOSES.
God please just nuke something nothing else matters i just want to see a nuclear explotion before i die.

Man, I hate these fucking cocksuckers so much. "They were only part of a totally non-violent group who go around fucking with lawful federal operations. Nothing wrong with that!"
Never forget these are the same people who will destroy your life if you protest against their sacred cows, and they'll use the federal government to do it.

Six Pro-Life Activists Convicted of Federal FACE Act Charges, Face Over a Decade in Prison
Anti-abortion activist who led a clinic blockade is sentenced to nearly 5 years in prison
Young Mother Gets More Than 3 Years in Prison for Blocking Abortion Clinic Entrance

Oh yea and as a side note, this is how they treat the people who attack those same pro-life activists.
A 28-year-old man who was caught on video attacking two pro-life activists outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Baltimore was sentenced this week to a year of home detention and three years of probation.
 
It was a shitpost. SotN came out before the Dreamcast
Imagine paying attention to when the DREAMCAST came out

there was a bunch of shit that didn’t get translated or released in America until dreamcast was foundering
numbskull, that should have been the giveaway

Edit: nevermind I didn’t realize who said it, ignore my post. That guy is a retard
I’m a SMART tard
Also, the people who think Simon’s Quest was innovative just never played Wonderboy 3, which was is far closer to SotN than Simon’s Quest ever was, and is partly why I feel the “vania” has no business being in the genre. It should be called Platform RPG not Metroidvania
literally the only thing people got mad about and decided to hate it over was that the clues were hard to figure out, but gamers were different back then. My friends’ uncle literally carried a note pad to take notes when playing Legend of Zelda II

You kids will never understand, you just want the Japanese man to sell you the answers
 
Hard disagree. I've worked with them as well as for them in the IT industry.

You can fire one (or any hardass IT worker, really) and before walking them out of the office demand their list of password keys using whatever software key-pass they're using. You immediately report them to both internal security as well as IT, and have their central username (Active Directory for windows, different for Apple, different for Linux servers sometimes) locked out but not shut down for any programs they auto-run upon login each day, week, month, or year. Their physical ID badge is struck from the "ok upen up the door" codes and all the tickets they put in asking for server-level OS access are pulled up. Each identity is merged, closed, etc.

IT folks are really good at this stuff.

You now have the keys to all their servers, logins, automations, etc. If there is anything you can't have a high-level network engineer log into within 24 hours (trust me, those guys have logins anyway), you threaten to ruin their compensation/severance package for attempted sabotage. No, you don't literally call it that but everyone understands, I've been in those meetings.

They always give up the goods. They're hoping to petition their "in-guys" and come back. I assure you. If you're lucky, they can be gone for a month before anyone even notices (because unless you're a day-to-day fixer guy, you often work on long-term projects while your regular day-to-day is mostly automated away by you but also for yourself.) If you offer a not-retard $50k or $100k or $150k (or whatever the skill level is) and say, anything that breaks you now own, they'll laugh and take the money and figure out what the fuck was going on before him. It's not a fun process but I've also done that and aside from a few long nights, the pay is often excellent.
Yes. You've described an offboarding process for any tech worker in a large corporation. Great write up and blog post. 8/10.
 
I would be surprised if those numbers don't skyrocket now that DHS has made it clear that the gloves are coming off and ICE is NOT to be fucked with.
I'd say we only get a moderate uptick from the increased enforcement. The real spike will only happen once the illegal gibs are clamped down on hard at the state level (so far I think the ball's barely started rolling on that) and all easy avenues of making money/remittances are blocked.
The gibs are the big part. Get the blue states to stop breaking the law and giving illegals gibs/fraud money and the 60-80% that live on the public dole will have no choice but to leave or expose themselves to the public, which is why you close all opportunities for illegal employment. If it's not profitable to be here, the leeches will let go of their own accord.
 
castlevania 2 and goonies 2 on NES are the first metroidvanias ever created
One could argue Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jet Set Willy were the true first. Even the original Castle Wolfenstein has bones of the genre in it. The genre has always been poorly defined outside of “ direct control of a character in an open environment where you can’t access certain areas until you have the correct gear.”

Clash at Demon Head is another great example of the genre that predates SoTN and does it better than Simon’s Quest

Currency system, password system to save progress, etc

Calling people “retard” and bringing up some Atari shit, fine. MUDs started it

Hating simons quest just says “I watched YouTube about it”

Both Metroid and Simon’s Quest were released on the famicom disk system originally which did not require a password system. That was only implemented in the American NES release because we never got the disk system. Even the original castlevania came out on disk system with a save system intact for the original Japanese release something America just didn’t get at all.

agreed, i think there are more pieces of it that are required than just 'walk around map, find items to progress to new sections.' search action as a term is a much more defined one, and the japanese use it in place of things like 'metroidvania'. matt mcmuscles and stop skeletons from fighting are the only big western guys who talk vidya i'm aware of who use the term search action though. ironically, search action also fits zelda games pretty well.

a save system of some kind is still vital for metroidvanias/search action, in my view. i don't know how much longer the jannies are gonna let us get away with talking about video games though.


Unfortunately not.
Jason Miller may be the reason. He was involved in trumps campaign and transition teams and now works for India to lobby for them. Indian nefws orgs are all over this, not so much US ones...

we should send him to india to live there forever. i'm of the opinion now that anyone who lobby's for a country should have to live there full time, and still pay american taxes as a fee for lobbying america. maybe even double their tax obligations since they're faggots trying to get us to give better deals to the other nations of the world. maybe the other nations of the world should have something worthwhile to offer us first, besides infinity wiping hands.

I’m American, not a weeb. I’ve never played ff6 either but I played the hell out of ffIII on SNES

You have failed to take Bloody Tears and that stolen Yngwie Malmsteen riff into account. Shameful.
