  When they got long enough to cause a serious delay in the movie starting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get rid of Whatsapp?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Just leave and dont use it. None of my friends ever follow me but I dont stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This isnt really on topic but what we wanted was a more realistic Sea of Thieves and Skull and Bones was like ship arena battles, it was bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone Relate ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What Team is making it tho?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the last of us⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Peak time to be alive tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨good momma⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Please, my titties, they’re very sick

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨START STOCKPILING⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah I’ve read this SCP before

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ghibli posting⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I kinda came here to say this. It really doesnt feel right doing that to Miyazaki after all the passion he put into the world. This is a slap to the face no matter the context. It is against his every wish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk and his DOGE nerds reveal bombshell plans to turn government into an Apple store 'experience'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So what do you think happens to the bottom.filong cabinet when nine others on top of it are full?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Profane Language⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell yeah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Profane Language⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Space Station 14 vibes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there democratic countries whose democratic institutions survived an auto-coup attempt?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Historically? Never, the ones that appear to survive are stripped and repurposed for something nefarious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What phones are the government people using that are supposedly secure enough to discuss war plans? iPhone? Android? Some special custom-made phone specifically for the government?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This administration is using off the shelf iPhones.

  Usually you get a secure phone (regular brand) thats enrolled in the government’s MDM. Which I imagine has special images and phat protections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End-To-End enshittified⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Trying to hit send and pulling this bitch up every time is peak modern design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t been on Space Station 13 since Space Station 14 came out. The controls are just actually intuitive and BYOND is dead in the water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is chasing an old high⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Agree to disagree I guess. The engines opened the flood gates, before bad games were news worthy. Now they’re the norm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is chasing an old high⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You could, but my point is that it is easy to just slap things together using those engines, which usually results in similar feeling, low quality mechanics. Its easy to just use Input.GetAxis and apply some force for an asteroids clone, but now it doesnt feel unique. Thats what I’m trying to say. You dont have to use these, and you can make unique experiences with them. But the ease of access will also increase the amount of low to mid quality games out there, leading to people getting this feeling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is chasing an old high⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes they absolutely do provide input detection

  https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.8/manual/index.html

  https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/enhanced-input-in-unreal-engine

  https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.0/tutorials/inputs/index.html

  Using these in conjunction with their physics or even just their built in systems for positions gives games a certain feel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is chasing an old high⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s see, Secret of Mana? No third party game engine

  Chrono Trigger? No third party game engine.

  Final Fantasy? Hmm, NO third party game engine!

  Now its not necessarily the engines themselves that turns pixel art games into the same slop. Its the constant use of the inbuilt systems for movement and things like that. Thats what makes them all feel the same and not.like the games they are imitating. The movement is different because its a system built by the third party companies generically not hand crafted for the game. That alone works miles towards a game feeling unique.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is chasing an old high⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for explaining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my dreams in colour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The criminal dinosaur foreigners should be deported back to Pangaea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is chasing an old high⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its because they all use Unity, Unreal, or Godot, anon. Its the game engines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who's fastest, Sonic or The Flash?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, I dont think many have played Sonic CD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who's fastest, Sonic or The Flash?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sonic has totally traveled time by going fast, look at Sonic CD. https://aminoapps.com/c/sonic/page/blog/sonics-top-speed-how-powerful-he-really-is-100th-post-special/Z6Qo_B1xiBu0oDKbk4RqbzEvNNRvlv14jNQ

  We need this crossover comic if it doesnt exist already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember the good old days?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather burn every city to the fucking ground than rob any of our children of their childhood. Catch my kids with the molotovs.

  Theres a hole from here to hell.

  Its this game but with x is how we got most new genres.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's wrong with a technocracy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much, a lot of decentralization can have this problem. But our current state speaks plainly against centralization and even ours was supposed to be separated to a degree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's wrong with a technocracy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A decentralized coalition government would probably be the sweet spot for now. Anything based on merit or qualifications or whatever will just be seized by people with agendas or will be designed with a bias to begin with. Technological based ones will just be ruled by the people with the technology. Our only viable option right now are liberal democracies that actually invest in their populace’s education and electoral information. I’ve grown more towards anarchism in reality, as I no longer believe people can be trusted in a post-truth society. Even the EU is clamping down on climate protestors. Its authoritarianism all the way down.
