So for those who don't know, apparently in the newest Mario Kart Luigi is stone cold and will straight up ice a mother****er:

The wench received her copy of tomodachi life today, and I've since then I've been receiving texts about how wonderful it is.

It's apparently really cute, and you can give the gift of Heavy Metal. and then your mii sings

ATTENTION FANS: history is our playground and the possibilities are endless. you have told us your opinions and we have heard you LOUD AND CLEAR, and this year, we at ubisoft bring you not one, not two, not even three but fOUR WHITE MEN WITH STUBBLE

[Tyrendian]

well if that's not an ad slogan that will win the masses over...

It's four times as much as the next game!



And besides it's a game about a modern person using science to unlock genetic memories of their ancestors who were part of a secret warrior order of assassins fighting the pope's illuminati army of inquisitors or whatever - it'd just be unrealistic to have women or non-white people in a game set during the French revolution as women didn't have anything to do with it & poc hadn't been invented in Europe yet

You want your cake and eat it!

I dunno, sometimes I think making people work in retail for a year would do society wonders.

I mean firstly it'd hopefully cut down on people being asshats to workers, but also show people that the world is a diverse place. Working a day in a supermarket I'd see men in turbans, women in hijabs and chadors, people in wheenchairs, old people, young people, deaf and blind people. Aside from the whole thing that representation is important it's just incredibly boring and dull from a design and storytelling point of view. Oh yay another grizzed white 30 something dude is angsty and out for revenge because women in his life were threatened/kidnapped/killed. YaaaaAAaAaaAyyyy.... (looking at you Watch Dogs)

Also Marie Antoinette almost certainly never said "let hem eat cake" (or any derivation thereof) as it was never cited by her contemporary critics and the first attribution of the line to her occurred about 50 years after her death. Besides which contemporary accounts portray her as a very charitable and compassionate person who actually acted when made aware of the poor people's reality so it is likely very out of character for her.
