I have no problems with new characters. Miles' story is different then Peter's and just as valid and he made his own way as Spiderman.

The list of characters who have to be a certain race is pretty short.
Original Cap and T'Challa come to mind. Everyone else you can switch around. Some characters are stronger when you keep their current race - Luke Cage is built around the black urban experience and Daredevil as a stereotypical Irish Catholic works well - but many are just "whatever". Peter Parker you can mess with pretty easily without affecting the core of the character.

I will catch it tomorrow on the app with Supernatural.
I just feel that lazy.

Oh, I get you. David Brothers had a similar argument. I don't necessarily agree, but I get where you're coming from.
Thats all i ask for in characters. People can cozy up to minority characters. Static is pretty decently known as a character(even if they get his name wrong) cyborg has become a popular character in teen titans with a distinct personality.

I fucking love Static. But I will pay for this movie not to be made if Jaden's the lead.

People really care about frames per second
You would think the frames was putting hay in folk's stalls.
I avoid it like the plague. Plus I keep associates...I'm not much of a good friend lol.

And resolution. It's gone from something I don't think about to one of the number one questions I should ask in an interview.
God help you if you don't. If you forget to ask, that means you are in on the fix.
I am not talking about shake n bake
This
The question would sense if you was talking a port on the PC. I feel like PC are advocating 60fps since they are fed up with missing exclusive.
Live by the code...die by the code.

Yall gonna bring up vsync and screen tearing next? lol. People expect better from pc ports, especially when they usually have to wait a long ass time to get them.
That resolution shit is whatever, but I'll not knock someone for feeling some type of way about it.
Yep.

Yup. It's not something that I personally get pressed about (I cannot tell the difference without a side-by-side comparison, and sometimes not even then), but for the people that can see it, I get it. They want the best possible experience out of their games, and they want the developers to make an effort.
Pretty much like any other hobbyists. I can understand not fucking with them when they go over the top or start making ignorant comments, but here they just want the best of their hobby. I won't hate on then for that.

It's that damn sandwich pic Kuma posted. Google thinks that site is malware.
They'll probably knock you for not feeling some type of way about the game not being/having X, Y or Z though.

If a pc game doesn't have a fov slider, it gets the bushes until it gets patched or modded in. Motion sickness hasn't been the wave since Half Life 2.
Dead Space 1 pc bodied any good will I had for devs, in regards to ports.
You're right. No doubt about that.

Not every friend group but the vast majority of them yeah
VA work is a hard job that doesn't get nearly enough respect. Major props to these VAs who've been in the game for years.
Speaking of DBZ, I dunno what it is about the IP but I feel like it entrenched itself much harder in the Black nerd community than in any other ethnic nerd community. I feel in literally every city/state/country where I've encountered a group of black people in a "nerdy setting" (game store, convention, tournament, even the occasional restaurant) I will ALWAYS overhear them talking about DBZ at some point. It feels a bit surreal to be honest. Like I bet if I could fined these people in 40-50 years (and I'm not necessarily excluding myself here) - they would be borderline senile, couldn't remember their grandkids names but could still tell me which episode Goku first went Super Sayian or some shit LOL

Spent 40 minutes debating a guy about the EPA, Obama being the worse president in history, and NSA tracking was only evil under Obama. He also said government handouts / education loans were a bigger part of the budget than defense

Anyone else read this? By a Princeton alum on his experiences with racism, his son's incident of being called a "nigger" and white priviledge. It's a good read

But it's sad and frustrating
