  But sadly this world really rewards the “dark triad” personality traits. Your version of Hitler would never ever reach a hint of power.

  I never force myself. If it sucks, I’ll ditch it asap. But just because i would love the old combat, i also know it will never ever come back like this. I can also enjoy a more action-oriented combat. I just don’t prefer it when given the choice 😊

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Age: The Veilguard's impressive tresses feature '50,000 individual strands per character for over 100 hairstyles'⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Andromeda was ok in that regard. I will give it a shot in some many months when all is patched out and there may even be some mods (oh yes please)

  Thanks for the details, but that sounds… Generic. I really hoped for it to have them pimping up the programmable combat. But i see why that might not be as commercially successful as it’s probably more niche.

  I’ll try that one with a different expectation then. Thanks again.

  Is the combat like in DA1? With pause and “programmable” companions? I don’t watch/read reviews et al, hence the question 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon walks home in the city at 2 AM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a very tall wardrobe with a resting bitch face syndrom that is also nocturnal. I learned a long time ago to just slow down when behind women and never to speed up. Or just change sides or so.

  It pisses me off to constantly being seen as a violent rape-ape instead of a person, but imagining being a woman (or whomever else is frightened by me) in such a situation makes my worries seem more irrelevant.

  In a better society this would be totally unnecessary, but here we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon walks home in the city at 2 AM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How eloquently summarized. Sadly so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons discuss PC vs console gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Controller yes. They suck (for me) for nearly everything. But gaming on a 240" screen? Hard to beat… I do that on the couch with mouse/keyboard. Just a bit less precise than at the desk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons discuss PC vs console gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I made a tool for pausing every game (except online games, obviously). There are some free ones that do that, even on steam. If that’s what you mean?

  If pausing the whole pc á la standby is what you mean, then you could simply try hibernating (maybe after pausing like above). Most games actually can be resumed afterwards. Pc is totally off.

  But yes, that’s probably the only thing a switch (wifey has one, hence i know) can do great. Besides total portability…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come to the Deep Sea!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a magnapinna. Maybe because of the legs, we don’t judge 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  1. We could probably argue about “living wage” of a supermarket cashier. Here they all, at least, make minimum wage. So tipping cashiers should be equally fine as tipping waiters.

  2. Yes, the system is bad. Not the customer that don’t wanna tip. If 100% would not tip, the system HAS to change as noone would work as a waiter anymore. Doesn’t happen, so no change will ever happen. Except maybe paying them even less coz the customers compensate it willingly. Not ideal too, yes. Hence i would stop eating outside if i would live in such a system.

  3. Yes. Sure. But obviously it works great, so where’s the need for change? People still wanna work waiting and people still tip. And considering you guys vote billionaires for your representative, it’s all working as intended. There’s even wiggle-room to milk you for even more… But i would hope for u guys that there ever will be some good change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop going to such places. I don’t go there (because we don’t have that silly system). Why tip at all? Do u tip the cashier at the supermarket? Your IT-guy? Your mechanic? Your docs? The cops?

  But for the sake of the argument: if noone would tip, noone would work as a waiter anymore and employers would have to pay decent salaries. You know, like everyone civilized would do. Instead you support a disgusting asshole employee by paying the staffs salary AND food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t even… Wow. Ok whatever. Suit yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you would’ve actually read the comment, you would’ve been in a clear advantage.

  Where i live and eat, staff is paid fair and tips are given. But, as everywhere in this country, for especially good service and not because the customer is forced to because the employer doesn’t pay wages because the system is broken.

  I also said that at my restaurants, waiting staff is paid way above average, which is probably multiple times of your weird country’s mininum. Do you even have a point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While I’m totally for the workers being paid great, it’s not really MY job to do so (unless i own the restaurant I’m eating at. And at those the waiters are paid way above average and don’t need tips). Here we tip for excellent service, not the bare minimum to get my food on the table.

  If you tip to pay salaries, YOU are the actual asshole that keeps a system alive that is the absolute dogshit in dystopian shitholes with no worker-rights like the US.

  Oh my…my favourite series and I didn’t get it. <Insert Picard-Facepalm-GIF here>

  thanks :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets hit by a car⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which series?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brazilian Wandering Spider⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, i see no downside here 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brazilian Wandering Spider⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  … But… Also the erection, yes? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The steam-forums are often toxic. But denuvo also is and every hate justified. It does absolutely nothing good for the honest consumer. Quite the contrary.

  Too risky. What if u misgender one accidentially? Put each on a separate island. Or into a sealed barrel and just into the ocean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hard to argue with⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would find a menstaurant (nice!) very sexist. I would eat all sexes without discrimination. As long as raised organic and free-range.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That means a lot, coming from the grammar-police 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh okay. Sure there are probably many vegans that don’t even REALLY know their motivations and hence have problems making clear and thought out statements that doesn’t really help their well meant cause.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would start making sense to you, if you’d see the analogy in racism et al (unless of course you are one, then it won’t). An animal-rights-activist-vegan sees it that way and hence has a hard time to “shut up” about it. Like you would when you’d enter some nazi-meeting. Can’t just sit there, doing nothing, and thus invoking the feeling you’re part of it.

  It’s not vegans per se, it’s those that are just vegans as a direcr consequence, not those that follow a dietary decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, not every nutjob is a danger in itself. But it’s still a cog in the machinery of a retrograde force. A +1 that helps normalizing what should be shunned. But yes, fuck religion. If people wanna believe stuff, great. The universe is a mystery. But the moment they gather and start having to believe what the cult-douche says, shit gets dangerous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True to that. Easier to talk with people about veganism than their religion :-)

  I get your sense of logic, but it’s inherently flawed. So you’re saying, if there’s no way to 100% an ethic, it’s better to just totally skip it? Of course you can’t 100% live in this world without somehow touching an animals life by some degree. But it’s about what one CAN do. The more one knows about this world, the more one could avoid. Ignorance is bliss, the evil I don’t know is the evil I must not fight. But the moment I get knowledge of unjust X, I can do my best do avoid unjust X to the best of my abilities. Not even judgin in, us just being flawed humans. If I do 99% of everything I know right, and just fucked up the 1%. Am I still a bad person and suck at my ethics?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s easy to judge down from that high horse of i-dont-care.

  I’m no vegan (nor vegetarian), but the mission of an animal-rights-activist (that is also logically vegan in consequence) is surely to minimize any harm (s)he knows of. It’s very simple. The limits of a dietary or fashin-trendy vegan is not so clear. As they usually don’t really have spent a lot of time reflecting about it, but just follow some basic idea they’ve found somewhere. And maybe try to “adapt” it a lil.

  Also your plant-argument was had like 30yrs ago already. Makes you sound super-intelligent, having figured out their major flaw all on your own :-)

  The goal is not impossible. The goal is (or probably just should be) to minimize suffering if its existence is not unbeknownst to us. That’s really a very basic logic that doesn’t require much computing power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you have contact with such …things? How could you take a human being somehow serious if it says things like that, especially due to being brainwashed in a fucking sect?! We don’t seem to have a collective tolerance to nazis or pedos, why do we have it for religious nutjubs?
