I mean, someone has to find out what your local community is doing and write it up on the internet. That’s what reporters do, and they need to get paid for it somehow.

Didn’t they already reveal their source code to American companies, like Oracle ? If people say they’re worried China can manipulate the algorithms, then Oracle will let the US know. What else can they do?

They’re just mad they can’t do a genocide without being called out by the youths. If anything, the American social media companies are the ones to watch out for because they’re actively suppressing news on the content, the thing we’re pretending to be worried that the Chinese government will do to this app.

From the people they’re colonizing. That doesn’t count as defending themselves. I can’t say self-defense when I kill you after you try to punch me because I shot you multiple times.

Totally worth not having health care so we can support Israel starting wars around the Middle East.
-_-

True, true. It’'s a good coming of age story in that way. You don’t see him grow up physically, but in maturity, confidence, wisdom, and least importantly, ironically enough, power. I say least importantly, because it’s the growing in wisdom that helps him defeat the Emperor in the end, not his cool force powers (although that does make the movies more fun to watch).

Fallout 4. I just stopped for some reason. I think I was close to having to pick one of the factions to support and I couldn’t decide, then got distracted by other games. I tried to pick it up again recently and didn’t remember the story. I’d love to sit through and read summaries of all the quests I completed so I can catch up on where I was and what I did one day, and then I can finally properly finish it.

I agree. I love the part of prepping for a monster. It makes me feel like a Witcher, and it is a role playing game after all.

Woah that’s amazing prices. I expected to have to pay that much for one 2 TB drive. How do you find these sales? Or did you just get lucky?

Luke had to actually train and failed when he fought his main, more experienced villain for the first time. Then he went back and did more training off screen. I think that makes him less a Mary Sue. He’s definitely whiny, though.

Reminds me of Stavros’s bit on tech companies.

I had a good time in an Airbnb years ago, too, but it’s gotten more expensive over time. It’s not even that much cheaper than hotels now whenever I check.

And we have to admit that while they serve tourists like us, it’s costing locals their chance to get housing when landlords are buying up units and houses and saving them all to rent out on Airbnb.

Be nice, Lemmy. We need more original content and discussions in our communities. If you are downvoting, you should at least say why.

As for the video, I thought it was pretty good actually, especially for a first YouTube video. I liked your transitions and editing. You also predicted some of the complaints and addressed them in the video, although I’m guessing some people down voted without watching all of it. I hope you don’t let the down votes discourage you, and you keep it up.

Anyway, my personal opinion on the discussion topic itself is that it feels like I just got a PS5 and the games targeted for it still feel lacking, so I get people’s complaints there. I think that’s largely because the pandemic made time weird, plus the logistical issues that entailed. But, it’s not like they stopped releasing games for the PS4 when the PS4 Pro came out. Hell, they’re still releasing games for the PS4. It doesn’t negate the desire for the PS5 Pro some people might have, and I don’t think it would cause them to stop targeting the PS5 with new games, either.

And I totally get the annoying trade off between quality and performance that would be nice to not have to make, or at least not have the difference be so drastic. I want a closer experience to my PC from my couch and with my big, expensive TV that my partner can watch with me, without having to move my PC and mess with switching around a bunch of power and HDMI cords. It would take me a long time to want to pay for that experience, but I wouldn’t begrudge others for wanting to, especially since I don’t think it would harm my experience at all.

Hell, I loved this game lol. It was a great first game for the PS5. It made me so excited for the controller features (even though I never really played a game that utilized it’s controller as well) and nostalgic for all the Playstation I had ever owned.

The liberal establishment doesn’t want fascism either, but they basically invite it by squashing the left, and continually trying to turn out the same slow moving technocratic and means tested solutions even as it slowly grinds us towards fascism still. Fascism is capitalism in decay. When the problems of capitalism rear it’s ugly head, it always resorts to fascism to get back control, assigning blame to some local minorities, giving power to rich people, doing some imperialism or foreign wars to get resources or distract the populace, and killing all the people on the left who suggest alternative solutions (I.e. socialists and communists).

It’s annoying to see it coming from so far away and feeling so utterly powerless =( The same cycle over and over in history yet we never learn. Hopefully we can steer off before it’s too late but there’s no organization in this country for a better solution.

This doesn’t excuse the war in Gaza, but similarly the war in Gaza doesn’t excuse an act like this, if that was even the cause (we’ll see as more info is released). If it was though, it’s easy to say that each bad thing is bad and doesn’t excuse the other bad thing.

Agreed. Arcane was the perfect opportunity to bring in a bunch of new players, but they should’ve supported it with new player experiences and tools.

I’m getting so tired of this red scare, cold war shit.

I thought the technical Canadian based instance was Lemmy.ca even if yours is also Canadian lol

Might as well try to get the communities going lol. I threw up my own review for others who are interested.
