Starting with the one that should've been in that other contest but wasn't: Nitocris.
This character's appearance was based on those ancient Egyptian girls that the Pharaohs often keep around their land, along with some other Egyptian figures and icons, especially Medjed and Anubis. The "Nitocris" name came from one of the last queens of the 6th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. She's just one of those attractive dark-skinned anime characters that has that unique "Nitocris" name associated with her design. Those online image search results will often have some artwork of her over some other artists' interpretations.
Her actual anime show appearance was only in Fate/Grand Order: Divine Realm of the Round Table as a supporting role, so most of what you'll see of her officially is in that damned gacha game. Speaking of officials, I haven't seen much reception of Nitocris from actual Egyptians compared to that of the sheboon Queen Cleopatra show on Netflix. Maybe they don't have any interest in gachas, or any anime girls? Who knows?
Post more Nitocris artwork and other stuff about her here. nitocris.jpg
@pants@m yeah but poa.st is the #1 retard instance it's the #1 most blocked instance.
the best would be to host your own, but that's not for everyone, so how bout the next best thing, a fresh empty pleroma instance!: https://awkward.place/
It's the new instance that doesn't block and doesn't want to be blocked. I will maintain as long as there are users!
@doublecart@weaf@djsumdog Indians #1 goal coming to Canada is to have sex with a white woman. they flood the dating apps in search of white women. they ask the uber drivers where the best disco is to find white women to fuck. that's literally their only goal it's actually pretty disgusting that 30-40 year old men are coming to my country under the guise of "education" and do the absolute bare minimum to squeak by so they can hunt white women
@EmmaFaber@BattleDwarfGimli@Captain80s@BarelyEagle If all males were about was killing the female, youd be fucking dead and we wouldnt exist past generation #1. the fact that youre screeching is proof you are wrong.
@Shadowman311@weaf It's waaay derivative is the problem. @mothersmurfer and I were talking about it, and I made mention that if you played the game(s) that you'd have some issues with it (continuity/timeline/lore). Fallout is like my MAIN game ever since I discovered it in Iraq (New Vegas) and I replay it constantly... the show? Not bad (2 episodes in) but still, some problems with it.... like in #1 when the main Powerguuuurl gets stabbed, uses a stimpack, and walks around 10 minutes later like the stab didn't matter? Folks who don't know the game are going to be like "WTF!?!" whereas those of us who play 'get it'
It's the fact that there's a lot of fly by night startup funding companies that are dying after the economy went to shit and the ESG money suddenly dried up. It's the fact that everything is proprietary, good luck getting a new battery for some obscure EV from a fly by night company. It's the fact that they're shipping with half assed software where you need a "software update" to make the car actually driveable, and the updates can fail. It's the fact that so many of them have weird issues that are all on the software side of things. It's the fact that there's all these weird charger standards when you can just put a nozzle in a car and fill up.
Some of this shit is also creeping into gas cars as well, but it's so much worse on EVs it's unreal.
In recent years Japan repeatedly placed #1 as the most popular country in the world, overtaking both Germany and the US. Yet we never see actual Japanese people brag or talk badly about other countries and cultures. If asked about the West in general, for example, one hears something neutral at worst, and insightful praise at best.
Japan also didn't set out to conquer the world with its cultural exports. Japanese people simply created what they like, did it with all their hearts, not blinded by cynicism and snark, and continue to do so still. For this crime some desire their destruction, like barbarians at the gate seething at the sight of Roman architecture.
@xssfox #1 requires hiring some smart people and sticking them in a room with plenty of caffeine and waiting #2 requires coordinating design changes between two (or more!) teams.
And having worked for Google, I can tell you that they have plenty of money but organization is not one of strong suits
