Most of those look worse in the bottom pictures tbh. A couple of the top ones look a little too bright and washed out, but the bottom ones just look low contrast and dark.

I don’t know if you’ve tried crosscode, and its been a (long) while since iv3 played chrono trigger, but from what i remember of playing it they gave me very much the same vibes, and i was totally blown away by crosscode. Most fun ive had playing a game in a long time, with a surprisingly engaging story.

How many kids have given themselves alcohol poisoning their first few times drinking because they didn’t understand the proper dosage? Thats a much more serious and significant problem, but nobodys suggesting alcohol should only be available in individual serving airline bottles.

Music also. Cant begin to count all the great songs that have really resonated with me and then find out the artist overdosed or blew their brains out.

Had to do the same thing on connect with all her messages. Wouldn’t let me delete them either. Very strange that it’s a bug that affects multiple clients.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 3 weeks ago:
Im almost done playing crosscode and i was floored away by how engaging and fun it is. I never thought id invest 60+ hours in it so willingly and eagerly. Honestly the best time ive had in gaming in a long time.

I thonk this one is pretty forgivable. Everytime should be a word imo. It has a lot more justification than some of the words that have recently been added and accepted into common use and vernacular. Everywhere, everyone, everyday, everybody are all words and set a hell of a precedent. How is everytime different, besides being a poster word for pedants to pick at.

You could do something to help an enormous amount of people. But realistically in the world we live in that would probably still involve killing someone.

Wow this thread is kinda fucked. Im way more left than most to the point that i think supporting biden/harris leading up to the last election was a mistake, although i would’ve begrudgingly voted harris when it came down to it. But this is just vindictive and unproductive. How about “lets both admit the corporations and their stooges have fucked us for way too long and come together to stop them” rather than some stupid childish finger pointing shit. Like i get the rage, but keep it pointing at the ones who are actively fucking you over.

Use some reading comprehension. I think they still teach that in US schools, though maybe not for much longer.

That post was a hypothetical comment about if the US became an invading force in Canada. It wasnt about ‘ordinary citizens who want to burn it to the ground’. If you care so much maybe go out and do something about what your government is doing.

- Comment on Anon shares his taste in music 5 weeks ago:
How does someone’s entire conception of video games still involve quarters in (after) 2023. Thats honestly insane to me. Like how do you let that person create any type of art, let alone a tv show based off of a video game, if they have that little awareness of the world around them. Like ehst did this guy do before this. “We want you to make a commercial for our new operating system. ‘Oh computers, thats easy. Most computers are pretty simple. You feed in a punch card and you can make the computer do things. MacOS XV changed all that, it doesnt even need punch cards.’”’

But if being without a room is a form of suffering, then wouldbt it make more sense to distribute that suffering equally, so that no one person has to bear an unendurable length of time without a room, instead each person is just momentarily inconvenienced as they shift.

I remember my buddy getting a whole bunch of viewsonic CRTs from his dad who worked at a professional animation studio. They could do up to 2048×1536 and they looked amazing, but were heavy as fuck for lan parties lol. I loved that monitor though, when i finally ‘upgraded’ to an lcd screen it felt like a downgrade in alot of ways except desk real estate.

Just to note, in a few years theres a convergence of when the major union contracts are up for renegotiation, so they’re already planning for a general strike. So it sucks having to wait until may 2028, but do what you can to get as many unions off the ground and onboard in the meantime. Getting any new unions going would probably be the most impactful thing you could do regardless of if there is a general strike, as it increases the negotiating power, and anyone not in a union is in a really difficult position if and when a strike does happen.

How would someone even know you’re ‘praying’ in public ynless youre making a spectacle about it? Thats what people dont want in the streets, large public demonstrations that seek to suck in and take advantage of vulnerable people. People know they can go to any of hundreds of churches or religious institutions if they want that sort of thing, but accosting strangers in public with your religion is not appropriate. You wanna sit on a park bench with yojr eyes closed and talk to god in your head, no one is going to stop you though.
- Comment on Capcom is experimenting with generative AI to help generate the “hundreds of thousands of ideas needed for game development" 2 months ago:
The Sopranos ran from 1999-2007. The Wire was 2002-2008. Its always sunny in philadelphia started in 2005. Curb your enthusiasm started in 2000. Scrubs started 2001. So its not even just that two of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time were made in that time period, but some of the most groundbreaking and influential comedy shows also. If you think breaking bad was some sort of turning point for TV you missed a lot of history.
- Comment on moms rule 2 months ago:
Maybe 28 would be a better average, but even if wvery women in your line gave birth at 12.5 that only doubles the other. And its fair to say not every mother would have been a first child. Also many still would have been born later than 25, so it probably evens out pretty well.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director thinks GTA 6 might have the "clout" to normalise a $100 price tag 2 months ago:
Why does the price have to increase? As you said, if rising sales covers the rise in development costs, then also raising the price on a digital good that is infinitely reproducible at no extra cost is just double dipping. These game publishers make crazy profits. Prices for everything don’t have to just keep rising perpetually.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 2 months ago:
Thats literally what i said, if youre gonna order, order from ubereats or doordash where they can refuse to take orders, so if someone is working they must be really desperate and unable to go without the income. At least theyre making the choice for themselves. Dont order from a pizza place because although they might still have to work, they’ll at least be making a wage if theres no orders and just get to kick back. I personally barely order delivery anyway.
- Comment on Based Red Dead 2 months ago:
Not to say that youre wrong, or to imply that ‘woke’ is a real concept beyond whatever makes fascist chuds feel bad in their undeveloped brains, but being anti-racist is a lot different than being not racist, and takes a lot more courage.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 2 months ago:
Well they’d be in just as bad a situation if no one ordered at all for a week. Theyre without income either way. I honestly think its better for doordash and ubereats drivers if people still order in poor weather. Pizza places on the other hand where the driver may at least be making some sort of flat rate, they may just prefer to sit there all shift with no orders.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 2 months ago:
I mean theres nothing that unsafe about the roads in the picture. Thats like regular for a lot of places and people don’t just stop living. I worked as a delivery driver and had to drive in way worse conditions, whats shown wouldnt even have registered as a hazard at all.

Although considered informal, anyways is not wrong. In fact, there is much precedent in English for the adverbial -s suffix, which was common in Old and Middle English and survives today in words such as towards, once, always, and unawares. But while these words survive from a period of English in which the adverbial -s was common, anyways is a modern construction (though it is now several centuries old).
