There are a few (though any particular names escape me right now), though they're too much of a minority compared to the hypocritical "muh oppression" activists and the far-left bias within the education system definitely doesn't help. Expecting change on a wide scale would be pretty much a pipedream unless doing things such as re-organising the education system as well as not giving attention to the Marxists on social media.

It's pretty telling when most of the college-age or mid-late 20's population in the US usually aligns with the Democrat party and legitimately believes that minorities and women need special treatment that creates unequal opportunity to succeed (unless, of course, if they're Asian or Jewish). Don't know how Marxist ideas permeated the mainstream so badly after the world had that whole bout with communism, but we can only fight it, not waste time trying to figure out how it happened.

Moving on, with the latest chapter (which I only read to find out what made Galu turn into a glowing giant avatar abomination), has your rating of the Moro arc changed? :troll

I had to laugh at the fact that Beerus is still nonchalant about the whole situation despite Moro having the power of an angel and then some, Vegeta still being able to go SSJBE despite Moro having been draining the planet for a third of a chapter, and Gohan and Piccolo's combined ki while being drained the same way not even being enough to push Galu to regular PSSJB without the rest of the gang pitching in (including Vegeta!). And then Oob has enough power to turn Galu into some kind of supercharged MUI form, despite the fact that prior to Buff Boo absorbing Dai Kaioshin, he had already spent half his God Power sealing Moro :alex2

Hopefully it's explained that Oob also inherited South Kaioshin's divine ki to explain how the fuck he has so much power, but I think I'm setting my expectations too high of Tracetaro (at this point we need his emote lol).

Probably not. It's certainly really bad without doubt, but it's certainly not as unbelievably damaging as some of those to precede it such as Galu thinking stacking more power on top of UI Sign would help or giving Moro a Senzu and all the ridiculousness that followed that. Still not quite the absolute low point of the arc (which is really a difficult feat to accomplish with how low to put the bar).

But what if Toyo does his usual Kubo-like trolling and reveals that Moro survived, and gets escorted to prison just so he can later utilize him (probably in an FnF/ToP Freeza type of way)?

If that indeed happens, then the next chapter could possibly bring the arc down even further. I doubt it'd change my score for it though, considering there were a few trace amounts of good elements that I couldn't fully justify rating it a flat 0 and it's still somehow not the most absolutely broken and insulting cashgrab for a franchise I've bore witness to (The Rise of Skywalker taking that dishonour for making the entire Star Wars series' legacy irrelevant, having a "plot" in which no scene can go from A to B without some giant asspull and having plot holes that make those in Super look tame by comparison).

Odds of it aren't that low, honestly. Keep in mind that last month's historically bad chapter hinted at Galu wanting Moro to reform so he can train and become a more worthy nemesis, and Zamasu is the only villain/rival in Super who stayed permanently dead.

Both of them are a bit too upbeat for the characters, particularly Kaiba. They don't really live up to being themes for the characters because of that, but are okay as music when divorced from the context.

#1 - Battlefront II (2005)
#2 - Knights of the Old Republic II
#3 - Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga

I'd say both KOTOR games (particularly 2) are the peak of the franchise, though I personally prefer BF2 due to the problems in KOTOR's combat system. Lego Star Wars is mainly a favourite for nostalgia reasons as I don't think it's better than a lot of other titles in the franchise, though it is a fairly good game for what it aimed to be (apart from the challenge missions. Proof that kids' games aren't always easy with those). Also, the fact it's called The Complete Saga means a lot more now that Disney tried to convince people their fanfiction was the end to the Skywalker Saga :ladd.

Ah, I got Dice mixed up with Pandemic Studios, considering I constantly just think of 2016 BF2 as "EA Battlefront II" :facepalm. Meant the 2005 version, though I will say the 2016 launch controversy was completely overblown (I've yet to spend any real money on it and still had no problem unlocking all the characters and getting to rank 50), though it's campaign is indeed ass. Current EA BF2 has great multiplayer though (other than Heroes VS Villains which has gone from being the best mode in the game to not worth the effort).

Heroes vs Villians have its moment I say but their are more bad moments like dealing with shitty teams or ragequitters. Also the cloud city map is force push spam galore.

I'd say what really brought it down was how Lightsaber characters got nerfed last year due to the massive increase in cooldown for their saber attacks, making some characters such as Vader or Maul far less effective than they used to be and makes teams that just stick as one big group that dogpiles the other players far more difficult to deal with.

Why do you think Urasawa's manga series after Monster and 20th Century Boys have been rather lackluster? Pluto started off good, but just became an inferior retelling of that Astro Boy arc and from what I can tell, Billy Bat hasn't managed to garner even half the popularity of Monster or 20th Century Boys. In fact, even 21st Century Boys was pretty much shit and didn't really answer any questions.

My guess is just typical burnout. Urasawa clearly had a purpose and message he wanted to tell with Monster, 20th Century Boys and the first half of Pluto, but probably ran out of steam and motivation once he'd explored what themes he wished to. There's also the problem that comes with focusing on mystery stories, being the pressure of the reveal needing to live up to the build up and line up with what has been foreshadowed and requires a great deal of intricacy to do both, Monster being the only one that succeeded in both with how the reveals on Johan's plan line up with the general themes surrounding his character (20th CB's reveal of Friend's true motives was underwhelming and Pluto was just mediocre as a whole).

I generally stick to either Assault or Heavy, unless unless acquiring enough points to use an Enforcer or Ariel depending on the faction. Haven't played in months due to the massive increase in the scale of the game making it a bit daunting on my hard drive until I can get an external one for Christmas so I can't remember the specific loadouts, but I generally focus on lowering cooldowns for skills as well as boosting the damage of certain weapons.

Difficult to say as I don't have a strict routine per-se, especially right now. I'd say constants within each one would include browsing YouTube (or at least listening to the video whilst doing something else) and the forum as well as keeping in contact with my family, but anything else beyond that is really dependant on the day.
