Norman Finkelstein: "If you resent the power that Jews use... is it irrational? When an ethnic group uses its financial & political clout in order to further a Jewish Supremacist agenda, is it antisemitism? I don't think it is." Hasan disagrees

Hasan Piker attempts to convince Norm Finkelstein that Israel tying itself to Judaism makes it harder to combat anti-Semitism Norm Finkelstein argues back that anti-Semitism is defined as an "irrational" hatred of Jews, but that the resentment is rational. Hasan argues that no people are monolithic, and the scapegoating of Jews is a common tactic. That people understand that when Tucker Carlson says America has "demographic concerns", that is white supremacy. He says that if Jews were monolithic there would not be such a generational divide on Zionism and billions spent to maintain its indoctrination. Finkelstein says he would not tell someone who has experienced the Holocaust that they should not hate Germans. And that he would not argue with a Palestinian who feels the same way about Jews. Norm cites that 95% of Israeli citizens agree with the force used against Gaza, and that its citizen army that represents its population carried out mass starvation as a method of war. Hasan Piker says he agrees with the facts, but he has a more optimistic perspective in terms of changing people's minds on conflating Judaism with Zionism.

Studying Shenmue graphics now to learn some Sega Dreamcast tricks. This whole frame is only 15K polygons. How did they do this? 😱 The textures/vertex colors are incredible as well... 🥲

Silent Hill producer says gamers can tell when a company is “just testing the waters” so playing it safe would’ve doomed the series’ comeback. He says that due to Silent Hill’s long hiatus and past cancellations, its revival project started out with a fairly low level of trust from players. In order to win back this trust, he found it necessary for Konami to demonstrate that as a company, it was genuinely committed to devoting itself to Silent Hill again.

Hate this. Demystifies a weird element about Sonic CD to justify a bad line that only exists for a terrible rewrite. Really really hate how this new lore era needlessly overexplains everything.
