I’ve noticed something I found to be rather ironic in a lot of politically-charged works these days; oftentimes, the work goes well out of the way to try and dehumanize the political right and make them seem as monstrous and inhuman as possible… and yet, said right-wing strawmen are almost always plain old humans, with anything nonhuman always being the “good guys”.
Basically what I was asking was; are there any works that have the designated right-wing strawmen as actual nonhuman creatures? I know Guild Wars 2 has a few Charr as right-wing stand-ins, and there was a cyberpunk posthuman tabletop game from a while back that had a race of eldritch dragons as the human “fascist” stand-ins, but can anyone think of any other games, TV shows, movies, etc., that has the political right strawmen as actual non-human monsters?

A mighty fine day to all of you wonderful people on wowservers,

Many full dungeon rewrites later, we are finally through with TBC dungeons in terms of progression plans. It has taken some time but that means we can now finally get into some TBC Heroic dungeons!

Heroic Dungeons on Chromiecraft (all of them) will be released on Wednesday, 7th June! A short while after this we will be announcing the TBC world bosses release as well as the first TBC raids.

Some off-set season 1 PvP item will release (arenas will start on the first raid bracket) and the Karazhan attunement will open for all to complete as well. As a reminder, raids in Chromiecraft will have two modes - normal with a light tune to account for the increased power of Wrath skills and talents as well as what we are now calling our 'mythic' mode which will give a serious challenge to all (new mechanics as well) and rewards for completing these raid types!
We have also been listening and taking in your comments and feedback, one of the most requested features involves our current usage of weekend XP rates. Currently, we offer X2 quest XP rewards every Friday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 (server time which is UTC). Alongside that, we have our Recruit-a-Friend (RAF) module which offers 30 days of permanent rested XP to level 65 or 30 days (whichever is hit first).

Upon the release of Heroics, the default quest XP rate on Chromiecraft will be X2 going forward, everyday.

​
A couple of things to mention regarding this:

• This only affects Quest XP gains (which also doubles the reward upon a successful RDF dungeon run) and runs until you hit level 65.
• The Recruit-A-Friend (RAF) module still gives you permanent rested XP (blue bar) for 30 days or until a character hits level 65 (whichever is hit first).
• You can still opt out of this and play with X1 rates should you choose to do so (type in the command .weekendxp rate 1).
• Challenge modes (Hardcore & Ironman) are still run to x1 rates and are not affected by this change (Bloodthirsy only rewards XP by mob kills so is also unaffected by this).

So, why should you choose Chromiecraft?

• We are a PvE server with a sole focus on making the best Wrath of the Lich King core out there. Created by the team behind the open-source Azerothcore, all fixes we do to the server is available for all for free, forever. Outside of the boosted XP rates, all other rates are blizzlike.
• We have optional built in Challenge Modes on the server. We offer Hardcore (1 life, permadeath and deleted character upon dying before level cap), Bloodthirsty (gain XP only via mob kills) & Ironman (no talents, only white & gray items) rulesets as well. With a dedicated guild (.challenge guild) to join other challenge enthusiasts, you can earn some fantastic rewards such as T3 armour mogs for your class, pets and mounts. You can even combine challenges for even more rewards!
• We offer our own Transmog System on the server. Not a fan of transmogs, no problem simple type in .transmog off and it is as if it never exists for you!
• We have dedicated GM team who do all we can to ensure any bots, RMT or gold sellers are banned as soon as discovered.
• Longevity. We have been around for over 2 1/2 years now and will be around for years and years to come.
• Zero P2W items available, forever. We promise we will never sell gear, boosts or stats / power to anybody. All donations are immediately reinvested back into the server (we are a registered non-profit organisation) with Chromiecraft. These go to paying for servers, bug bounties, freelance developers etc. You can also earn Chromiepoints (CP) in game! We pay out to the winners of the most amount of BGs per bracket (twinks very much welcome here) as well as to those who report bugs and contribute to the server every month! We also hold random in game events such as Hide & Seek where you can win shop items as well.
Thank you as always for taking the time to read this and have a fantastic rest of your day!

Hey there. I’m taking a lil road trip to kick off my summer. There’s nothing to look at other than some flatlands and windmills so I figured now is a good time to talk to someone new. In my spare time, I enjoy getting outside and geocaching, going on random adventures, playing video games (PC/Quest 2/Switch), making art, and listening to music. I always mismatch my socks. I have a large collection of stamps. I like helping people and listening to their stories. I have a cat. I am caring and compassionate with a dry sense of humor. I think this makes the word count so hit me up — I’m dying of boredom and still have three hours in the car!

Whenever I watch anything on this monitor I find this problem, it’s most obvious in dark scenes. I always use my PS4 when using this screen so it’s possibly because of that but changing the settings doesn’t do anything. Then I thought it’d be the WiFi, but it does the same thing for Blu-Rays. This monitor was really cheap and only around £100-£150, from the first week of having it like 2 years ago the power cord has never been stable and I have to move it around a lot to find a position that it will work in, so maybe that has something to do with it. I’m not a tech guy, are there any obvious fixes for this or do I just need to get a better monitor?

Hey guys I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a solution to this but I've been playing with a friend on PPSSPP and we've been able to do quests together, both of us posting our urgents and such in the guild hall. All of a sudden though the last 2 days my friend isn't able to post his quest without us breaking off at the start of the quest. I've searched the web the best I could and looked at numerous videos because I was having this problem with another friend weeks ago and we just decided he'd have to do his own urgents unfortunately until it somehow got fixed. No older posts I've found here on reddit have solved my problems either. The thing is me and the friend now have the same network settings on PPSSPP. We've even downloaded hamachi and tried having him host a network and me connecting that way. Despite this we still break off afterward. Is there something else we could use to get a more stable connection? I wanna help my homie with his urgents but the game just aint having it.
