Your first and last statements are good, there's truth in them. But the whole middle bit reeks of misinformation.
If everything I've read and watched is anything to go by, punching somebody in the head/face can sometimes cut up your hands on the pointy and sharp bits of the skull. You should only punch if you're familiar with those parts of the skull or have gloves on. Better off going with open hand slaps and palm strikes. Fists, elbows, knees and feet are for the torso, arms, legs, neck and groin; palms are for the face, and fingers are for the eyes. There are also a lot of places on the body where you can grab and bite, if you're so inclined.
Maybe I've been awake for too long, but upon reading this, for some reason all I could think of was Sam Neill at the end of In the Mouth of Madness laughing until he breaks. Do we have that as an emote?
Has there been a case yet where someone has retaliated when this happened? Cuz, honestly, if any harm befell any of my animals, Im not sure what would happen. A stray bullet could take out one of my goldfish and there would be violence.
I think Earthbound had that, iirc. If you were a high enough level, enemies would flee. I could be misremembering though.
That is just the boar god from Princess Mononoke.
Strong Female Protagonist would be good, unfinished though it may be. Dreamland Chronicles would be kinda fun to see. Kill 6 Billion Demons, while I've not read it, has a pretty cool premise and seems like it would make for a good movie/series too.
Was it racist? It's been like 6 years since I last read throught it, but I thought its main thing was that racism was bad?
You know they're going to make a feel good christian movie out of this, probably starring kevin sorbo: "Next to Godliness: The Soul Cleansing True Story"
I actually played RE 5 again recently, after watching a Castle Super Beast episode featuring SphereHunter in it. A little ways through they mentioned it and said something about "grass skirts and huts", and I thought ,"It wasn't that bad was it?", and played it for a few hours. For awhile, it was just a worse version of RE 4: parasites, murder monsters, slightly better companion mechanic, 80's action hero character. Then I got to THAT part and I legit had my mouth hang open. It really was that bad, honestly.
I dont won't to be an ass, but did you mean Resi 5? Also, while I agree with you overall, I will say the game could've worked if they leaned more into the colonization angle that's present in it. The main bad guy is a blonde white guy with a fetish for wearing black leather and making people "superior", iirc, all he's missing is a red armband. He's allied himself with a corporate white lady who's completely fine with his experimentation on the local people of the area her company has taken land from and built factories on, as well as morally bankrupt arms dealer Steve Buscemi.
Hopefully, when they remake 5, they'll push that idea more into the mainplot instead of just finding it in optional notes through out the games. They can still have the notes to flesh it out a little, just have Wesker talk about how using a populace of "globally unimportant peoples" allowed them to carry out their experimentation with less concern of being noticed. Have Sheva talk more about her personal experiences while befriending Chris during the game, like what they did with Ashley ReRE 4. If they want to be a little more on the nose, they could have random bsaa members in the game express how "unhappy" they are to be in Africa.
It has potential, but it depends on how willing they are to make chuds mad at them for being woke.
Edit: also, please remove the huts and grass skirts section of the game. Like, just, why would you put that in there?
I never really got over it, I just gave up eventually. I took precautions on everything I did for awhile. Wore masks whenever I was out, washed my hands thoroughly when I got home, didn't touch my face when I was out, even sprayed packages with disinfecting spray. Then my mother, who wore masks with only her mouth covered and not her nose, came over and hugged me and my brother. Just once, for like two seconds. Two days later, I was on the couch (where I stayed for two weeks) coughing, pained, and running a fever. I coughed blood atleast once, hit a fever of 104, and poured sweat so much I looked as if I'd fallen in a pool. I got better but my sense of smell was heavily effected and I was out of breath more easily for awhile.
After that, I just realized that all the protection in the world is pointless if everyone else is just gonna go around spitting and sneezing on anything in reach and gave up. Got covid three more times after that, each less terrible but I developed long covid and have to deal with that for however long I have it. I still keep my distance from people in stores or other places as best I can, seemingly haven't gotten it again, knock on wood, and I am slowly, very slowly, recovering from the long covid. I do still spray disinfectant on things in the house whenever someone has a sniffle and can't stay in their room, though. It makes me feel better, atleast.
There's been some, I guess, rumors, that olympic lifters can actually out perform olympic sprinters in the first 10 or so meters of a run. But that's mostly hearsay, so grain of salt. But if it were true, Usain could maybe increase his speed to around 30 mph, seeing as how his workouts seem to consist of mostly high rep and explosive movements, again, if it's true. There has been talk of the human potential to hit 40 mph, though, so 30 is atleast do-able, maybe.
Training for that would be difficult, might require some borderline nonsensical equipment, like an underwater treadmill with a harness attatched to elastic band that would pull the user down to act as gravity, then let the user run against the water for a unique form of resistance training. Or just go the Baki route and fill a pool with maple syrup and run against that.
Warning(?): This became way wordier than I intended and I'm very sorry to anyone who makes the long journey through it. The sad thing is, this is only half of what I had intended to type. Human strength potential is one of my favorite conversation topics. Again, I'm very sorry.
I can see that, maybe. I just don't think we've hit the level at which we NEED to use steroids yet, atleast when it comes to strength. Looking at old school examples, like Hackenschmidt or Maxick, the level of strength they had, despite any short comings or lack of current scientific knowledge, indicates, to me atleast, that we can achieve more physically than what we've seen so far.
The rep ranges, for example, weren't really made concrete until maybe the 1950s, iirc, some 50 to 60 years after many of these guys had been in relatively fit condition. And even in recent years, we've found that longer rests between sets may potentially increase size and strength gains, meaning that, combined with rep ranges and decent nutrition, people like Hack and Max could've attained their biggest physiques at an earlier stage than they did originally.
Think about it this way. Maxick popularized maxalding, basically a rediscovery of isometrics, and used it to attain (for his height and weight) near superhuman strength, at least for his over head press. He was below average height for the time and sickly when he was a child, hardly what comes to mind when a person thinks of a strength athlete. He likely wasn't above a 23 ffmi, meaning he could've gotten bigger and, as a result, stronger. His overhead was 322-ish pounds at 147lbs himself, but we'll call it 310 just incase that lift was a one off thing. According to the site StrengthLevel, at his weight his elite level lift would've been 202lbs, meaning he was around 53.47% stronger than he was supposed to be, and he still had more potential mass to gain.
If we applied that to the average elite lifter on that site, at 248lbs overhead, that would mean, assuming their average overall, a 5'9.5" amab lifter under 200lbs should be able to attain a 380.6 lbs overhead. And that's before considering the fact he had less mass on him than he could have, which would mean potentially as much as a 65%, give or take, increase in strength could be possible. Which would make the average amab lifter able to overhead 409.2lbs. This is all hypothetical, of course, but it would atleast imply that humans have the potential to push themselves further while steroid free than we currently believe.
I've never understood why anyone would take steroids for performance enhancement. The strength increase just doesn't seem worth it compared to the possible health issues that might develop. And that's even assuming that steroids are giving you that much of an edge in the first place.
Like, just based on the known history of lifting, I believe, honestly, that most people could match steroid users in overall performance, just not in sheer size when it comes to bodybuilding. I don't have any issue with people doing it and performing against others in an honest competition as suggested here, I'm just not sure why you'd want to.
"Idol Hands", which is unlikely to have aged well, it's been years since i watched it, so I cant be sure. Also, "Evolution", which isn't really bad imo, but not many people know of it or liked it, apparently. Honestly. neither of those movies have probably aged well.
It has been years since I last watched Courage proper, but this was legit the first image in my mind as I read those words.
The way you worded it, I swear I've played a game like that before, but I might be misremembering. Regardless, that does sound much better though.
While yes, certain (sometimes large) parts of (usually) monotheistic religions are definitely incompatable with progress and human decency, that mostly comes down to, imo, extreme adherence to traditionalism and intellectual stagnation among the believers of those faiths. Now certainly, polytheism has , occasionally, given a lot of people a very bad time. But, and this may not be the best example, I don't often hear about hinduism, shinto, or taoism being involved in human rights violations/ genocides. Now, I'm not as well informed on those as I should be, admittedly, but you can see what I mean.
I agree that religion is partially responsible for the ever worsening state of the world, but it's not, like, the root cause. Not every rich asshole thinks it was ordained by god for them to be a rich asshole, sometimes (most of the time, even) rich people are just assholes, usually because they're rich. That may be an over simplification, but like, come on. In a world where traditionalism is less a rule and more a suggestion, religion could evolve properly and be less problematic, it's just that, currently, that's not going to happen.
Idk if this is at all coherent; I'm just trying to say that defining religion as just EVIL isn't the awesomely correct take you seem to think it is, imo.
