They love to go on about "late-stage capitalism." When it reality all that team really means is capitalism perverted by socialist regulations like DEI, "too big to fail," etc.

I think they even said at one point it wasn't really that smart, it was just level design. Always liked level design like that, there was a designated point A to point B you had to cross, but the in between was open to multiple routes and methods.

I tend to prefer early 2000s 3D graphics over the modern stuff anyway. There was plenty of capability to work with, and it seemed like the game designers did a much better job of giving a game a "feel." There was also much more done creatively with lighting and darkness and my favorite how many games liked to make things like breakables and loose objects. Think something like Half-Life 2 or F.E.A.R. where you walk around carelessly and bump into things and it goes flying off a shelf etc.

Now, they just go crazy with their ugly character models and realistic frizzy hair movement but the world is always so "same" feeling and very rigid.

That's a really detailed troll. Quick, kill it!

Jews have been complaining and demanding since they were led out of Egypt. Food was falling from the sky for them, and they bitch about it.

Well to quote Clarkson back at them, with one minor change...

This car Those games are the harbinger of everything that's gone wrong in the world. Veganism, cycling, liberal democrats, people who talk about having "my truth." There's no such thing as my truth. The truth is that they're awful.

Never heard of it. Looked it up before I read the article. First thought was who cares about Bollywood, but apparently it’s an “American” movie. I saw Jordan Peele listed as a producer. He’s a raging leftist, so kinda knew what it would be.

They hid it very well in the press materials and the critic reviews.

I remember I was still active on the donald or patriots or whatever it was called then. I tried to tell people, you want to go to this, fine. You need a plan of ingress that involves covering tracks. No cellphones, period. No social media posts. Don’t tell anyone you were ever there. Multiple exit strategies. Even then many of those would have gotten caught via facial recognition. Instead I see, “yay I booked my hotel right there on the Capitol mall, got my flight for that morning!”. Social media posts “So happy to be here inside the Capitol to support my favorite President! #lovetrump They can’t steal this from us!”.

Even so, it would have been as waste of time as it never seemed like there was a path to changing anyone’s minds on the election outcome.

I’m not sure a 15 year old kid would be caught on to that level of doomism at a majorly white high school. There’s plenty of bullshit available to a kid local to their own life.

They never speak of those people having any responsibility ever. Whether it’s the tranny groomers or just in this case the school environment itself. What I always found the most irritating was when teachers would join in. There’s so many that if you’re not figuratively sucking their dick constantly, they will jump right on the dogpile as well.

Get back on the plantation Dwayne! Don't speak out against the owner!

There’s definitely a point where I just don’t care. Do what I can to avoid certain processed food, I really prefer glass, etc. A lot of that is just preference anyway, some things are just inherently nicer. I refuse to hide inside afraid the world is going to kill me. That’s far worse.

I could have told you that and 99% of her views on the world and politics just from the picture at the top of the article. What I can’t know for sure though, is what colors are each of her cats.

Haven’t used it but it doesn’t look bad. You’re going to laugh, but I use RSS for aggregated news. Yep, like it’s 2005. I used Twitter for news for a while since if you follow the right places it can be, but I didn’t really think it was mentally healthy to just constantly give time to the agitating drivel that is on there.

I’ve toyed with the idea of making my own feed app that would also allow following of some social things, e.g. Twitter things not available in RSS, but I never went through with it.

Be sure if you’re taking others opinions of whether a source is right, left, factual, or not with a grain of salt. Whether Ground News or someone posting here. Hell, you should question my definition of fact too even though I am perfect and never ever wrong.

I always lean towards the side of not removing things if there's a fine line. Steam already being a shitshow of garbage, one more getting through, eh, well whatever. It should be policy though to not offer any sort of compensation for reviews. Especially so overtly, I mean if they quietly slip money around behind the scenes and it's difficult to detect, that's another eh, well whatever. That one looks like they are offering free DLC for reviews. No.

I don't like Steam really anyway. I only get things there I want bad enough to accept DRM, or menial garbage games to play online.

Yeah, my first thought when I started reading into maritime/port SOP regarding Baltimore was where were the tugboats, why did they leave, and if they were supposed to leave why is it procedure to let the ship go free near a difficult bridge.

I'd be very interested how often these lose power. Do they operate on different power in port like some sort of battery versus fuel? I mean these boats go over huge distances regularly and I can't imagine they are often stranded in the middle of the ocean causing massive cost and delay, or something would be changed about them.

First, its massive vertical supports are positioned much closer to land than the Key Bridge's—1,000 feet away from the harbor's navigation channel—making them considerably less likely to be hit by an errant vessel. The towers also are surrounded by rock islands, which would force any ship heading toward the supports to run aground before striking the tower. Additional safety projects have further hardened protections, even adding an air gap sensor system that detects vertical clearances between the bridge and large vessels passing underneath.

Maybe this should have been a thing everywhere too. Sure, it's not going to be perfect, but it sure seems that the one in Baltimore ran into the bridge without any hinderance.

Oh no wait, I would never question Правда. Shall we get back to more appropriate discussion? I don't believe we've yet to comment today on how great Lenin is, and it's almost mid-day. Travesty!

Every actual video I was able to find of such, it was a black guy. Well, I guess they "ain't black" because apparently it's the MAGA blacks that infest NYC doing this?

The alleged victims are mostly young and pretty

Not the one I could find.

I think most of this is made up based on a couple random examples. The day and age where everything is filmed, and we can't get more than a blurry pixelated video? The ape contingency loves to film their crimes and put them on the internet with a group of them going "ohh look at that bitch you know what I'm sayin!" They just don't here for some reason? Oh wait, that's right it's all the right-wing white people in NYC doing this...

I’ll accept that as soon as it’s also okay to replace white with any other race or social group in the world, without exception.

parent/child narratives

Like what? I’ve played hundreds of games. The PS4 God of War is the only one that stands out as a parent/child narrative. What are we going to say Fallout 4 or something? I mean I guess. I don’t recall that many.

Ready for the insect net mafia. I wear my insect net to protect you, you wear yours to protect me. It's too dangerous to go vote, we will have to mail them all in.

Catholic Christians. Every one else has been rejecting the pope since 1517.

Star Wars has a huge amount of existing music to adapt from too. Do they use that? Nah, go get the generic "epic" music for generic awful looking animated show.

I've never been one to really care about the Jews, plight of the Jews, arguing about the Jews, etc. Still you make a fool of yourself in anything to take the story of one side as the whole truth and totally dismiss any alternate accounts. The truth is always elsewhere. Even if something as crazy as 95% of the Jewish account of the holocaust is true, that means 5% is not.

I do find the comment a bit dumb to imply that a country at war should not have cut off supply lines of the country they were trying to defeat. I'll take that over a modern pussified forever war. Aggressively win or go home.
