What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Now-- about the image itself.

Awesome.  Only on Steam could you find a Nazi Waifu game listed in Casual.

What, are visual novels casual now?

[Iduno]

Seriously.  This sounds like they need to start putting hidden body cams inside the damn buttons or badges, so that there is no convenient "oops! I dunno sarge, it must have shut itself off!" bullshit like this.  I get how these things can malfunction-- as a former IT guy, I TOTALLY understand how they can and will fail. (defective batteries, wires get broken from moving around)  So, instead we need redundancy.  Lots of redundancy.  With units the police do not know about, and must never know about.

You’re forgetting that currently, police already have the ability to turn the body cams off and on at will, and frequently ask each other to turn them off with no attempt to hide said request.

Perhaps make that illegal first, and then start stuffing redundant body cams everywhere?

It probably is illegal, but they're the police. Prosecutors who go after them are punished (no evidence ever again for you), and they're known to kill/beat/threaten people who aren't even witnesses. What do you think they'll do when people report them? I know the police here in Austin, TX were caught (and not punished) intercepting the reports people made about them.

This is especially poignant, because people with psychiatric disorders will OFTEN self-medicate!


This paper deals with the phenomenon with heroin, but the same causalities discussed would also apply to cannabis.

Until you adjust for the self-medication rates, the perceived association is ONLY that. An association.

Yeah, thanks to Reagan, and other human shitstains, it's often difficult to get prescribed medications. Illegal drugs are significantly easier to get than legal ones, if it's mental health related.

Cool, now not only are they filthy weebs, they are also filthy casuals.

[wierd]

No, white supremacist weeb casuals! The most extreme of the extreme!

Yes.
I blame Katawa Shoujo and DDLC for this current state of affairs

Very good.

Why wouldn't VNs be casual?

[JoshuaFH]

I thought VN's were in fact the casual-est form of media, being the combination of pop-up picture books and anime.

[TamerVirus]

VNs were super niche for a time, being relegated to a level of weebness above anime and manga.
It didn't help that for the longest time, the English scene was effectively underground, relegated to the whims of fan-translators. Piracy was rule of the day.
It also didn't help that most VNs were pornographic in some way.

Now VNs have gone legit. The idea of buying something like Kara no Shoujo off of steam was unthought of not that long ago
 

[Egan_BW]

Eh, I'm with Joshua on this one. Even if niche, VNs are almost the definition of a casual game. Casual /= mainstream.

[MrRoboto75]

"Casual" refers to the gameplay.

[Levi]

Everything is casual if you are good enough at it.     Like those guys that speedrun Dark Souls naked with cymbals instead of a controller.

[TamerVirus]

Ugh. whatever.
filthy casuals...
