Gaming / Hotline Miami 2 answering machine hints at release date
« on: February 05, 2015, 04:04:49 PM »
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-02-04-hotline-miami-2-teases-march-release-date-via-creepy-answering-machine

Quote
The game's official Twitter account posted the following phone number: +1 (786) 519-3708 ext 10.

Calling said number results in a message saying: "We are 50 blessings. Together we March [echoed a few times] into the future. You have reached a wrong number."

The overt use of the word "March" suggests the game's release month, while many have speculated that the "ext 10" on the Twitter update is referring to the 10th of March. That's a Tuesday, when games come out on PSN in North America, so that's ostensibly its release date on both PSN and Steam.

I played the hell out of the first Hotline Miami and I'll play the hell out of the second.

What issues could potentially arise from adopting this policy in first world western countries like the UK and US?
Infrastructural stress and cultural tension are the two big ones.

What are ways that the issue of cultural tension could be addressed?
Making sure immigrants assimilate, or--better--making sure they have similar value-systems before coming here in the first instance. Which could largely be circumvented by freeing up immigration from culturally similar countries like America, Australia, France and Germany.

How would it put stress on infrastructure? And would a surplus of unskilled workers be an issue? Forgive me if my questions are somewhat poorly put as I'm not very educated with regards to economics.

Yeah she would have a riot in this thread and boy would it be fun to watch.

All it really proved is how Onision is a blatant autist, which I already conceded to.

There was like, six or seven 20+ minute videos, dipshit. You didn't watch a single one all the way through.

Who gives a FUCK about her salary?
Judging by the time it took you to reply and the length of the video I linked I'm going to hazard a guess that you didn't watch it.
I'm not going to trawl through hours of some vlogger's content whining about how schizophrenic Onision's behaviour is (who for all intents and purposes, probably is given his history).

Give me something substantial, like I don't know, duping an entire audience into shelling out 100k for you to basically sit on your ass and whine about nonexistent issues. That'd be a good start. Chop chop now.

Onision is actually pretty bad just go do some reading on him. If I'm not mistaken ED has decent page covering his insane drama.
I'm aware of what kind of person he is, but I full heartedly disagree that he's somehow more reprehensible than FemFreq. Anita Sarkeesian is a flagrant con artist and uses disingenuous victim narratives to bolster her image and income.

In all honesty he probably is if you were to compare the two. But it really doesn't matter who's worse.
I thought that's what the point of the whole thread was?

It was about whose content is worse not who is more morally reprehensible.
One could argue she also falls under that category, considering all she does is espouse propaganda and hasn't even finished the series which she garnered a 100k from completely nescient fans.

I don't disagree that FemFreq is horrible but trying to debate whether that or Onision is worse is as pointless as banging your head against a brick wall.
Reprehensibility and poor content aren't mutually exclusive. It's why I think she's the worst Youtuber on this list IMO.

Then you're entitled to hold that opinion.

Like, a textbook? Or a non-fiction book of some sort?

Any good books that you would suggest. They could be historical books such as some of Adam Smith's work, non-fiction books, textbooks, allegorical novels or anything else in between.

Would you care to justify yourself, then? Should be interesting, coming from an intellectual, like yourself.
The only reason somebody can characterise the Middle Ages as the "Dark Ages" is by being exceptionally ignorant of Medieval history. The Middle Ages were far, far from dark.

Not to mention, your graph conflates all three periods of the Middle Ages with the "Dark Ages", which usually only refers to the Early Middle Ages from the years 400-900.

I've always been under the impression that the "Middle Ages" were an abrupt stop for scientific advancement. I've been wrong this whole time, then?

From what I know in the West it was but the Arab world would flourish during this period, saved numerous Greek texts by translating them into Arabic, and helped set the precedence for the Renaissance by re-exposing the West. I may be inaccurate in some places so please correct me if I am.

If you want to stop Christianity ever existing, you don't need to go back that far.

You just need to stop Constantine luckily gazing upon a comet which, to him, looked to be in the shape of a cross.

If it hadn't become legitimized and made the official state religions in the Western and Eastern Roman Empires do you think it would have continued to exist underground or would it have fizzled out?
Difficult to say, really.

It would probably have remained as Jainism or Zoroastrianism is today; a cult, more than anything, and probably rightfully so.

Do you think that polytheistic religions such as Roman and Germanic paganism would dominate Western society like Christianity did throughout the medieval period did? Or do you think that it would be much less centralized and that religion would hold little to no control over secular politics?

Let's go back in time for a moment and imagine that the Jewish carpenter from Nazareth in Roman occupied Israel had never been born and Christianity hadn't come into existence. How different would Western society and the world for that matter look today?

uhhhhh
a thread like this probably isn't the way

I didn't bother reading, sorry
I sense some sort of malicious intent here.
try reading some of your own posts sometime, edgelord. maybe people would be more willing to take you seriously if you werent constantly acting like a creepy school shooter.
you don't even fucking know me. I can just imagine your mother right now, and me punching her. I just get the feeling that everyone who grows up to be such a horrid rude human being as yourself would have horrible parents. I didn't do shit and I would be talking nicely if you gave me some respect. all I can imagine right now though is me taking a dry wall cutting saw and sawing through your skin. I would knock you over the head with a sledge hammer and if your head didn't explode from the impact, and if your skull didn't crack leaving you dead on impact, then I would saw you up and try to leave you as cut up, yet still alive as possible. that's what I am thinking about right now really. take it or leave it. but just so you know please don't be a cunt, because that hurts my feelings.
