  I wonder what their plan was – step on the toes of the biggest franchise while operating in one of the many countries with broken copyright laws and then hope for the best while raking in early access money based on an idea that legally can’t exist? Was it being naive and hoping they could just make a fun and successful game and Pokemon would be a merciful god?

  I’d rather we deport conservatives to an island, embargo the shit out of it, do everything we can to prevent them from thriving, and then I get to point at their country and say, “look what happens when maga is in control”

  It’s a more formal way to dress. I had to wear uniforms with tucked in shirts as a kid in school. It’s also a normal requirement at jobs. Becomes habit.

  And hire an Outsource Manager so you can farm out most grunt work to underpaid devs in other countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA Republican Logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  These sick liberals need to stop defining themselves with sex.

  Have sex within your race! Have sex in a way that Harry Potter would approve! Have sex with underage mothers! Save your virginity for an old man in an authoritative position in your life!

  And for the love of God Almighty, stop bringing up sex! Sex! SEX!!

  New games look like realistic pencil drawings that were smudged to shit.

  I literally have Elden Ring screenshots on my PS4 that look worse than Super Mario 64 screenshots.

  It’s like modern games all have a screen shader at the end specifically to fuck up the graphics and blur details. I know it’s TAA and friends but damn. It feels weird that so many games have broken graphics that only look good when taking promotional screenshots. And people call them good looking games lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not promoting violence or anything. But stupid quest since Iran has an 80 million bounty on Trumps head. If someone would follow thru do they just go to Iran and be like pay up? Why or why not?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think if you were like a handler, close to the deed but not likely to immediately go down, and that the hit was obviously a hit, and it generated the kind of story Iran could package to their benefit, then they would pay you.

  Don’t be a spastic killer, don’t leave any questions, get a clean kill and get out, and I’d imagine most countries would pay up. If it works once they’ll want it to work again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s definitely more federal than something like our roads. Fair Housing is a civil rights era law that is federal, and HOPA is a modification to those older laws. I don’t know how a state would break that, or if it’s reasonably possible.

  All I meant by the white neighborhood thing is to say that contradictions in laws only matter if you challenge them, and it’s unlikely people will want to “fix” this law when it’s aimed at helping old people, especially ones who are sick or close to death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a law called HOPA that says it’s legal. You can have white only neighborhoods if you have the laws, until someone challenges them, changes them, etc. There’s a specific allowance for old people and nobody wants to take it away enough to have changed it.

  I’ve heard more stories about CSGO over the years compared to other gambling games, but never heard people criticize the game like they do FIFA. It’s just my corner of the world, where Valve is a holy corporation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds released close up pic of the drones!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like hysteria though, with the way it’s written.

  The articles do not include the statement from our military saying that everything is normal. (But they do have the “here’s a bunch of scary stuff, we reached out but didn’t get a comment, story is breaking will update”)

  They include quotes that if you look carefully seem to fit both stories; there’s a crazy drone thing happening, and nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

  A warning about drones. A base closing for 4 hours. Things you expect to happen in day to day life, but also do a great job of freaking people out when you string the data points together just so.

  ---

  I had to dig to find how many drone incidents with military bases we’ve had per year. Because that isn’t common info. Really, really important information. The first thing you would report, probably.

  But it’s not in any of these articles lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds released close up pic of the drones!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I found two things about drones and military bases

  1. Drone spotting went viral and it led to reports of drones around military bases, freaking people out. However the military stated this is normal activity and that this stuff has been happening for years.

  2. Reports of drones over 17 bases near Chinese business owned farmland. A scary sounding story about communist China spying on our bases. But drones over / near bases isn’t rare and the army alone has like 100 bases in the country.

  And the military can shoot down and disable drones in their airspace. Apparently their main problem is things falling outside their jurisdiction and then local police being shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2024 Steam Awards Nominees Announced⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised to see ED brought up. They gave up console players and won’t even push token updates, like when they balanced engineers for PC players to reduce the crazy grinding. Tried to get back into it but I guess it’s now a legacy game and Frontier straight up bailed.

  The game isn’t shut down though. I can still buy their MTX stuff. That’s got to count against them.
