What. How did I die?

Mayo goes with everything. Not a fan of the peas though.

There will be bans handed out if you fuckers gank me again.

Flee, Catzilla, Rocketman, the pussy trifecta.

Nigga at least I killed someone, and didn't die from a sprained ankle 😭😭

I destroyed someone's supplies AND killed a bitch while protecting others. Chally's the real pussy here.

Also, do it again.

Whatever you say lmao

Wew lad. Too much of a pussy to sleep alone and too little confidence in yourself not to break down in an existential crisis every 5 minutes. I'll gladly pick flowers over that.

Just finished Shadow of Mordor myself a few days ago. Pretty good game, although a bit low on the content and story side of things. I especially loved the finishers. So well done and wonderfully brutal and interesting every time.

I'll probably pick up the sequel when cheap, but the list of DLC is already pretty disappointing.

I'm afraid that dealing with trademark infringement claims has become a daily thing for me as the in-house Sep7agon lawyer.

I would say so, yes.

Since most I ever read on here is about Clinton's correct the record or Soros funding whatever, it's probably not bad to show the other side too.

The Guardian:

Revealed: how US billionaire helped to back Brexit

Robert Mercer, who bankrolled Donald Trump, played key role with ‘sinister’ advice on using Facebook data. The US billionaire who helped bankroll Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency played a key role in the campaign for Britain to leave the EU, the Observer has learned.

It has emerged that Robert Mercer, a hedge-fund billionaire, who helped to finance the Trump campaign and who was revealed this weekend as one of the owners of the rightwing Breitbart News Network, is a long-time friend of Nigel Farage. He directed his data analytics firm to provide expert advice to the Leave campaign on how to target swing voters via Facebook – a donation of services that was not declared to the electoral commission.

Cambridge Analytica, an offshoot of a British company, SCL Group, which has 25 years’ experience in military disinformation campaigns and “election management”, claims to use cutting-edge technology to build intimate psychometric profiles of voters to find and target their emotional triggers. Trump’s team paid the firm more than $6m (£4.8m) to target swing voters, and it has now emerged that Mercer also introduced the firm – in which he has a major stake – to Farage.

The communications director of Leave.eu, Andy Wigmore, told the Observer that the longstanding friendship between Nigel Farage and the Mercer family led Mercer to offer his help – free – to the Brexit campaign because of their shared goals. Wigmore said that he introduced Farage and Leave.eu to Cambridge Analytica: “They were happy to help. Because Nigel is a good friend of the Mercers. And Mercer introduced them to us. He said, ‘Here’s this company we think may be useful to you’. What they were trying to do in the US and what we were trying to do had massive parallels. We shared a lot of information.”

The strategy involved harvesting data from people’s Facebook and other social media profiles and then using machine learning to “spread” through their networks. Wigmore admitted the technology and the level of information it gathered from people was “creepy”. He said the campaign used this information, combined with artificial intelligence, to decide who to target with highly individualised advertisements and had built a database of more than a million people, based on advice Cambridge Analytica supplied. Two weeks ago Arron Banks, Leave.eu’s founder, stated in a series of tweets that Gerry Gunster (Leave.eu’s pollster) and Cambridge Analytica with “world class” AI had helped them gain “unprecedented levels of engagement”. “AI won it for Leave,” he said.

By law, all donations of services-in-kind worth more than £7,500 must be reported to the electoral commission. A spokesman said that no donation from the company or Mercer to Leave.eu had been filed.

US hedge fund manager Robert Mercer, a long-time friend of Nigel Farage, is now known to be one of the owners of the Breitbart News Network.

Brittany Kaiser, an employee of Cambridge Analytica/SCL, appeared on a panel at a Leave.eu press conference to explain the technology behind the campaign. And in documents Leave.eu filed with the commission, it reported that Cambridge Analytica was “a strategic partner”.The Observer reported in December that Cambridge Analytica had worked on the Leave campaign and received a letter from the campaign to say this was untrue. It later wrote to say: “It is a US company based in the US. It hasn’t worked in British politics.” It declined to comment last week on whether it had donated services to Leave.eu.

Leave.eu declined to say why it had not declared any donation of services to the electoral commission.

Mercer – and his daughter Rebekah – are emerging as key figures in the ascendancy of Trump and, as the Observer details today, the strategic disruption of the mainstream media. A brilliant computer scientist who did pioneering work at IBM in AI, Mercer made billions with Renaissance Technologies, a hedge-fund that specialises in automated trading. As well as financing Trump’s campaign, he encouraged Trump to take on two key advisers – Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway – and on Saturday the Washington Post revealed him as one of the owners of Breitbart. Bannon’s role within the Trump administration is being increasingly examined but, until now, Mercer’s connection has escaped the same sort of close scrutiny – particularly with regard to the media.

Breitbart, which has become the leading platform for the alt-right, is only one of a series of investments that aim to change the media landscape and political views not just in the US but also in Britain. A British version of Breitbart was launched in 2014, Bannon told the New York Times, explicitly to try to influence the upcoming general election. He and Farage have been close friends since at least 2012 and the site has been an important cheerleader for Ukip, with its editor, Raheem Kassam, at one point working as chief adviser to Farage.

Until now, however, it was not known that Mercer had explicitly tried to influence the outcome of the referendum. Drawing on Cambridge Analytica’s advice, Leave.eu built up a huge database of supporters creating detailed profiles of their lives through open-source data it harvested via Facebook. The campaign then sent thousands of different versions of advertisements to people depending on what it had learned of their personalities.

A leading expert on the impact of technology on elections called the relevation “extremely disturbing and quite sinister”. Martin Moore, of King’s College London, said that “undisclosed support-in-kind is extremely troubling. It undermines the whole basis of our electoral system, that we should have a level playing field”.

But details of how people were being targeted with this technology raised more serious questions, he said. “We have no idea what people were being shown or not, which makes it frankly sinister. Maybe it wasn’t, but we have no way of knowing. There is no possibility of public scrutiny. I find this extremely worrying and disturbing.”

tl;dr

- billionaire aided in funding Trump's campaign
- also happens to own parts of Breitbart and be friends with the likes of Farage
- suggested people to Trump which he ended up taking on as advisors
- used his data analytics firm to manipulate emotions of swing voters and target them specifically by "building intimate psychometric profiles of voters to find and target their emotional triggers" in both the US elections and Brexit campaign
- "AI won it for leave" by using these profiles to only show biased news and one-sided ads to manipulate gullible people

And there's still people who think that these populists are out to make the world better for them and take on "the elite" by manipulating outrage against scapegoats.

Not that we didn't know about this kind of stuff before, but it really is quite unsettling how easily people are being manipulated through the internet like this.

From my own experience, 9-11 years old (and younger) is exactly Nintendo's target audience. I'd honestly say that 15-16 year olds make up one of the smallest parts of Nintendo players.

Is that why small children are almost never present in any of their advertising/promotional material, while teens and young adults tend to dominate?

Depends on where you draw the line in age groups, but I see a whole lot of kid in this along with a dad/daughter and then maybe 2 or 3 people that might be late teens or young adults who have just been in the trailers to motivate the little ones to train and become better than them.

I think you might be imposing your personal taste on what is generally considered "for kids," and conflating that with what's "kid-friendly"--or worse; "for everybody."

Perhaps, although you might be doing the exact same thing because you're a pretty big fan of Nintendo. From my experience, they're primarily gimmicky games for children with enough depth and advanced features to keep older players interested as well. I might be wrong, but that's just how I've come to see these games. Still fun, but primarily aimed at kids. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

The objectively best choice is the bird you morons. The OP clearly states this isn't a deathmatch but an assassination attempt.

Turtle is slow as shit and can only stab, not slash because of how the blade is stuck to him. He can't climb stairs, he can't jump, he can't do anything. If he tips over and ends up on his back, he's fucked. If the target spots him (which they will because he's slow as shit) they can just pick him up and there's nothing he can do about it. 0/10 terrible choice.

Mouse is more mobile but, again, stabbing only. Can't climb or jump very well. Hiding is one of its best attributes which it can't realistically do with a knife taped to its back. Harder to catch than turtlle but best it can do is prick at your ankles. 0/10 can't do shit.

Crab has claws which can hardly even break your skin. More control over his weapon but can only run sideways, can't jump and doesn't climb well. Easily fended off and caught. Might be able to get a baby but will fail miserably against a decent opponent. 0/10 worthless pick.

Now, bird is just brilliant. Incredibly control over his weapon for both stabbing, slashing, throwing and dropping action. Fast as hell. Can move silently and glide through the night. Can hop, fly and attack from the sky or slash your throat while you sleep. Smart, good vision, can follow you wherever you go. Extremely difficult to catch. 10/10 perfect assassin.

Get your shit together guys.

If you're receiving aid from the government you're not middle class

Financial aid helps them afford college. Middle class still can't pay the costs fully on their own

That's a fucked up system.

Sign me up fam. Legal advice or whatever you want.

Don't know if I ever really talked shit about Nintendo in my lifetime. I'd probably just tell him to stop with the gimmicks that nobody likes.

It's dumb shit, but you can't forget about the target audience. I'm not aware of any actual stats on this, but your average Nintendo (DS) player is probably 7 years old and doesn't care about competitive breeding or features interesting to us. They want those silly gimmicks, play with pokemon and all that jazz. 

It sucks, but these are essentially kids games with certain features, nostalgia or gameplay elements that make them attractive to adults and late teens as well. I don't like them either, but I doubt Nintendo would keep putting them in if they didn't have some pretty good idea of exactly what their kid player base wants.
