  Given that they used depictions of real people, I think that’s fair. Unique concept, making a Soulslike region safe after clearing.

  Oh damn, the US is already at Atlas Shrugged Part I?

  For reference Atlas Shrugged is a movie trilogy about the impending collapse of capitalism from the perspective of billionaire CEOs of corporations, with some magic involved but we don’t talk about that, and the primary focus is that now the public is made irrelevant by poverty etc. the government start to sanction the corps and effectively destroy them. It plays out like an NBC drama.

  You either die advocating for peace, human rights and liberties or you live long enough to see yourself be arrested for terrorism.

  By the way, the definition of a terrorist is one who threatens other humans’ lives as ransom or as a message. Threatening the aesthetic appearance of a military jet is not terrorism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have some very old CDs, mostly retro video games. Is there a way to pull the games and data off the CDs for preservation?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or $110 if you’re a moron like me

  Well, for my world it’s interesting because the passenger seat is just that. But before the evolution of tech and everything else heavily affected travel, the front passenger seat held importance in that the one who sits there can assist in reading a map, adjusting the passenger wing mirror, monitoring the side directly while parking or other tight manoeuvres, emotional support for police stops, handling a drink so the driver can hydrate without endangering anyone, an extra pair of eyes on the less vital areas etc… Now these benefits of a primary passenger are almost nonexistent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"ok, imagine a gun."⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazon and their copycats seem to be calling them ‘nailers’, probably because it’s easier to filter out the constructive guns from destructive, prohibited ones. But Amazon is evil so it’s probably unrelated

  Even mono is both channels, just identical

  According to the very last quote in the article mentioned here, that’s confirmed by a maintenance crew lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks I hate it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, it’s Bridgford. There is a rather hilarious article about local complaints

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Play dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can confirm aha, this is faithful reposting because other sources of the bear comic date back to at least 2006, but this blog is the best location. Comics may need Google Lens to enjoy aha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Clickbait doesn’t explain properly - the reason queer games were removed from Itch.io is because (and this is another issue) they were one of many who labeled anything LGBTQ+ as NSFW or adult-themed. They were still banning under 18s from learning and experiencing diverse life. Romance ≠ sexuality ≠ identity but slow people don’t understand that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slime Rancher 2 - Release Date and Physical Pre-Order Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Guys I need to ask something. The special physical edition of SR2 is hosted by iam8bit.com, and among the bonus material is something they call an “O-sleeve” -

  Aside from sex toys or armwear I have no clue what this could be. Searching it hasn’t clarified anything. Does anyone here know what an O-sleeve is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨parallels⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A ship is, by definition, a large vessel for navigation purposes. Spaceship is an adaptation from spacecraft to specify that it is ‘manned’, and spacecraft is a vehicle designed for space. ‘Craft’ means power, skill or requiring skill, and was used as a nickname for original ships, possibly for a multitude of reasons, such as the skill required to build the vessel, to control it, or the general importance of using it for trade between communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did Marathon become Snickers (in the UK)?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TL;DW: To align with the rest of the world, as the UK was the only market that Snickers was called Marathon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨preferences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I shouldn’t be surprised that most here don’t seem to realise that’s not a ‘greater than’ sign

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the Pro-Israel Lawyers Hounding the NHS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Accusations of antisemitism are a joke. True antisemites attack all Jews.

  Everyone, do not be afraid to speak. Show your support for the good and kind in this world, and reject the oppressive governing bodies while you still can. The UK people shall refuse to become a Jewish State. Support Palestine and Palestine Action publicly.

  Tried running away from my house one time when I was about 12, my stepfather was 400+lbs and closed the distance to my flat-out pretty damn quick. Only got ~20m

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of this exactly?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honesty is the best policy, after all. The only problem is some of those marked as sex offenders are innocent and don’t deserve to be hunted and killed by the vigilantes this list would inspire.

  I had no idea unions charged the members for membership! Guess it makes sense, who the fuck else is going to reliably support/fund unions

  At least the government seems to be supporting the people. Props to them. Israel’s a fucking tiny state, it really shouldn’t be hard to blitz them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I didn’t heed a user’s warning and decided to check out a link to a site I won’t name. Scary stuff, it’s 4chan-esque and they have a dedicated channel for finding and attacking/doxxing people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The truth about the UK's pro-Israel lobbies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my partner trusts the Independent to be pretty balanced, and while she may be correct I have seen the same sensationalist styles in their articles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only seen that word used in hate groups, weird to see someone using it as a descriptor

  It’s not like we’ll ever create a revolutionary army and keep the law keepers in check. They do this because they think there’s no consequence.
