  • It's all in-group pandering and shitty petro-masculinity. No conservatives should be in power. They are bad people.

  • I think some games on steam you can just launch from the executable file. I rarely have, because my process is usually "open steam.. stare at list of games.. pick one", so steam is already open.

    But yeah, at least it adds some value (proton magic, recording and screenshots, the overlay used to be real useful when i only had one monitor...)

    Final Fantasy VIII does so much wrong, but it is great!

  • I really disliked how leveling up made you weaker. Things scaled with your level faster than the stat gains empowered you. Completely stupid design.

    The card game is also too rewarding and too obscure. Without a guide, you'd never catch on to stuff like "lose this card to this unnamed person, then win a better version back from this other unnamed person". Also various "everything is on fire! You wanna play cards?" moments really hamper the pacing and tone. But you want to play it, because it gives a ton of power.

    Discouraging you from actually using magic was an interesting experiment, but I don't think it was fun. Maybe it could have been rebalanced, but as-is you just stocked up on magic for the stats.

    I don't remember the story very well. I remember getting locked out of a lot of content because I went past a point of no return without realizing it.

  • Good. Break them up. Criminally charge their leadership.

  • Fuck Microsoft. It's easy to not buy their shit. I've been doing it all day.

  • Break up Facebook

  • Xbox's CEO wants its games to cater to 'more than a billion people each day', or 24 times more than the peak population of Steam, which is delusional

    Jump

  • I also don't have a lot of money for fun because no one is hiring because all the psychotic C-suite think AI is going to replace everyone. Or they think they can just squeeze labor harder and use AI as an excuse.

    But either way, fuck Microsoft.

  • Conservatives just say things for the intended result. They don't care about facts or truth or internal consistency. They're like cognitohazards.

  • What do you call the action of putting their grades together like this, without the sentences you put after it? (this is the most important question of this comment).

    Why are you stuck on "cannot" when the point of the idiom is about the (repeat pun) fruitlessness of comparing things by inappropriate standards?

    You clearly can come up with a way to score a math test by the standards of an art class, but that is not typically a useful endeavor.

  • I've never heard that expression before, but that's pretty good.

  • Leadership are stupid assholes.

    We should break google up and bury the current leadership in a deep hole somewhere.

  • Many people, perhaps most people, operate primarily on the emotional level. That's one of the big problems facing humanity.

  • Microsoft should be broken up. A lot of problems go away if we just stop letting power consolidate.

  • Are you confusing "can't" and "can, but is fruitless" (pun intended)?

    Like, if someone says to you "you can't put nails in with a screwdriver", are you going to say "You totally can. Just whack the nail with the handle. I don't see the problem".

    Or, like, "You can't eat crayons" do you respond "sure you can. chew it up and eat it. i don't see the problem. it's just like a cookie"

  • The US Justice Department has ordered prosecutors to stop pursuing criminal charges and drop all cases targeting the sale of so-called "defeat devices". Coal-Rolling is legal again.

  • You should be allowed to stand your ground and shoot dead anyone rolling coal. They're assaulting you and everyone around you.

  • You could go down that train of thought, but you'll find it impossible to make any decisions for fear of making things worse. "Should I put out this fire in my kitchen? No, what if the house has to burn down to stop double-mecha-hitler from being born??" is not a useful way of thinking.
