They seem to release these games as some sort of tech demo show showcasing what they see is the future of games. One has the set peice structure of game design, two was the physics engine, and Alex was VR. So other then the continuation of the time line, half life Alex pretty much was half life three. Also they know the hype/meme train has been building for so long that nothing will be good enough. Like Duke nukem.

- Comment on The incredible pixel-smashing game Noita got a huge free update 5 weeks ago:
I mean it’s cool to not like that in a game. But i think your mind set is weird. The game seems more random than it actually is, even considering the vast differences and power of the spells. If you watch people who play the game a lot you will notice that they will usually win, and when they get noita’ed it’s usually due to a mistake. The game play is learning to understand the rules of the game how it ticks. You CAN learn it via videos that will tell you all the minnute mechanics, but i would say that cheapening the exploration it’s going for.
It would be like looking up the percentage chance of every outcome for every event in FTL, and using only the meta builds and their meta strats
But i don’t blame you for not liking it as the floor is really high.

- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
No. Anyone can feel however they want about symbols and its meanings are not affected.
I mentioned Fox News because it’s the inciting article you posted, i specifically criticized you for it, And you claim it’s a reliable news source when it is not. The other sources you gave that are better news sources, do not back your claim.
And to prove my point you gave me a Snopes article. As far as i know they are reputable, and yet…
“Unfortunately for the claim, none of those sources proved this correlation either — they all described the events of Oct. 12, 2000, without mentioning anything about red hands (much less orange hands) later being used in pro-Palestine protests to symbolize those events.”
DID YOU EVEN READ THE ARTICLE?
This is all a big media push to undermine a possible cease fire, which assuming freeing hostages is the actual goal of Israel, a cease fire would be a benefit to everyone.
And you constantly are attempting to distract from the topic by attacking unconcerned groups. Once you learned that i am not democrat, you moved on to liberals. You misrepresent the liberal stance, yet it really doesn’t matter as it’s moot anyways.
- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
Ok first of all the top article if you read it states that there has been no connection to the symbol and the 2002 murders that they could establish.
And the second article is from the times of Israel. And explicitly stated that its covering what Israelites FEELS it means. It even ends with “i wonder” with the context that they wonder if artists4ceasefire knew, or cares that it makes them think of the 2002 murders. Then again any symbol used would have someone interpret in such a way to change the topic away from establishing a cease fire. More spin.
Again both articles fail to establish the connection. But at the least these two are open with that fact, though the last one is framing it in a way to not have to talk about artists4ceasefire message at all. Fox News assumed it to be true without doing their due diligence, either due to incompetence or to further an agenda.
- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
No, the article does not.
Fox News states that there are Israelis that claim there is a connection, via a tweet from some dude on twitter with the intent to pervert the message from Artists4ceasfire to foster a cease fire. You linked the wiki article about the double murder from 2002. Which at no point connects the event with any symbols at all. I never claimed the murders didn’t happen, a actually assumed it did happen. Fox News as usual failed in its journalistic responsibility to establish any connection. They assume one because of bias and agenda would be my thoughts on why.
- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
You keep saying it’s the flag of the democrats. Yet those who proudly fly it now almost unanimously and proudly identify with the Republican Party. But it would be wrong to say that republicans advocate the ideals of the confederacy. You would need to give context as to why you think there is a connection with the confederate flag and current democrats. But again though, this has nothing to do with the topic and seems to be some sort of diversion.
As for the pin. You have not established the connection of the pin to the 2002 murders, you have not established the 2002 murders to a genocide, you have not established that the participants of artist4ceasfire intended for the pin to have your prescribed meaning.
You have established that people, with a vested interest in perverting artists4ceasefire’s message for a cease fire, claim that they FEEL as though the pin was created to secretly signify approval for genocide. But facts don’t care about feelings. Its the burden of Fox News to establish this, and that the artists knew thats what the pin secretly means, because failing all of that, their call for cease fire is its only meaning.
- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
Is that what i did? Here are the facts: Artists4ceasefire during the Oscar’s used their collective voice to call for a cease fire. They wore a red pin to show solidarity to this message. Fox News reports that there are people who believe that the pin represents a double murder in 2002 by a mob Artists4ceasefire gives its meaning for the pin on there site, that does not connect it to the 2002 murders.
That is all. There is no connection established, and fox news insinuating there is one requires them to prove it. Which they did not do
- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
There is a difference between a good conservative source, and Fox News. Just because it is a conservative source does not mean it holds up to scrutiny, and Fox News consistently has trouble aligning with neutral fact. I wouldn’t source TYT or who ever makes left leaning rags to prove my points.
There was also not allot of counter left leaning articles on this because the Fox News article never established what it needed to in order to justify its claims. News articles report news, not squabble with unproven points of their rivals.
As for the meaning of the confederate flag, what i stated is fact about its meaning. And wile the circle encompassing democrats at the time and the confederacy are probably nearly eclipsed they do not fully encompass each other. There are those who were pro slavery who still considered succession a terrible idea, and so are not attributed to the confederacy. The difference between them is intent, which is clear.
Also bringing up the confederacy being tied to democrats seems to me like an attempted segway out of the current topic. One used often to attempt to delegitimize democrats as hypocrites or to secretly hate the very people they promote. No Democrat alive today was a participant in politics during the civil war. And it would be foolish to claim current democrats stand for the same things as the confederacy.
And just so you know, i am not a democrat.
- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
Based on your previous points in this very thread, you are invested in this article. Either way i have not addressed you really in my posts other than to tell you to choose your sources more carefully.
When one makes a claim that some group is secretly advocating for something immoral, as an argument to discredit their stated intention, the accuser has the burden of proof, not the group.
Even IF it was tied to pride for the murders in 2002 that doesn’t connect it advocating genocide. But you haven’t even got that far as you have to establish intent first.
And when comparing the pin to flying the confederate flag. There is no question as to its meaning. The confederacy was a secessionist movement whose reason for being was to specifically preserve the states rights to enforce slavery. That flag is their standard and its meaning was no secret when the confederacy used it as such.
There is no comparison
- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
I don’t know. When i look it up i see reporting that it was made by the group Artists4ceasefire. This is a group that consists of a large amount of actors and other entertainment personalities who signed an open letter demanding Biden push for a cease fire in 2023. So they made the pin sometime after that.
Is it your implication that because it was made after the murders in 2002 that means it’s connected, because if so you have failed to justify the connection.
“The Artists4Ceasefire enamel pin is composed of a red background to symbolize the urgency of the call to save lives,” the website said. “The orange hand conveys the beautiful community of people from all backgrounds that have come together in support of centering our shared humanity. The heart being cradled in the center of the hand is an invitation for us to lead with our hearts, always, to lead with love. When we lead with love, we understand that all of our fellow beings deserve to be loved and protected.”
Again, no matter what symbol they used, someone with an agenda can interpret to mean something that it was not intended in order to further that agenda. And the only people making that claim here has an agenda. Again even if you were right and the creator secretly intended to connect the two, you have to be able to prove that the participants were in on it. Which no one even attempted to do.
- Comment on Oscar celebrities accused of wearing 'symbol of bloodlust' originating from Palestinians 'lynching' 2 Israelis 2 months ago:
So you are citing a Fox News article, so that’s -1 off the bat.
The article itself did not properly tie the celebrities to the lynching.
The article talks about how Israelis consider the pin to be associated with an event in 2002. That involved 2 victims. Which is not only a stretch, but even if it were true, still does not mean the celebrities would be in on its secret meaning.
Honestly, i feel no matter the symbol that was chosen i am sure that there would be some connection made to discredit their actual motivation, which is to pressure a cease fire. Which is objectively moral.
Also even if it was true, the assertion that wearing the pin makes one an antisemite is false because Israel is not the Jewish people. You cannot blame all Jews for the war crimes of Israel, and Israel cannot frame criticism against it as antisemitism.

I see the decision you made as the ultimate end to this path you and lemmy world tread. At this rate all federations should defederate each other, or just shut down the whole fediverse. We can go back to individual hyper-specific forums on phbb again.
I mean there is obviously a line between what should federated and what should not. But i feel the reasoning here is fundamentally different then the others chosen in the past.
