  No. Bikers do not have a “complicated history” with Nazi iconography. Maybe some WWII veterans could have an excuse because there killing Nazis and were displaying their captures, no one today has any excuse.

  You know what you call a non-white person wearing Nazi symbols? A Nazi.

  Windows PC or Linux PC? Cause Windows PC aint gonna run shit with the build quality of the hardware and OS of the average PC.

  Four, hardware requirements delaying would be purchasers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes a modern game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A major complaint about modern movies is the prevalence of realistic lighting. Night scenes are getting so dark, you can’t see anything. This came up in a recent RLM review where they shared a story about some actor in an unrelated movie asking the director where the lighting was coming from in some night scene. The director said the lighting was coming from the same place as the music. It’s more important to convey an idea or feeling then it is to convey realism. For the media illiterate(like CinemaSins), it’s easier to complain about unrealism then it is to complain about meaning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who needs it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever notice how any time a Chinese app gets highlighted as being for data harvesting, there’s a bunch of people crawling out of the woodwork to claim “whatabout american apps!?”, but whenever an American app gets the same exposer, noone ever goes “whatabout Chinese apps apps!?”

  Highly personalized, targeted ads are more dangerous because they can create tailor made political ads. This was happening with Cambridge Analytica and it’s why having any political discussion online is impossible anymore because you’re never really sure what the other person “knows” anymore. Before that shit, everyone got the same speeches, news and ads.

  You also have the blackmail factor. I do consider Chinese officials getting blackmail material on American politicians and businesses more dangerous then American companies doing the same. It’s a small margin, but there is a difference.

  The best I can do is minimize how much they get from me, give them bad data and block any ads. The few times I see targeted ads seems to imply they think I’m a conservative woman. Who the hell else would want Concern Carry Yoga Pants?

  These data harvesting creating fake profiles to sell to ad companies are not my concern. Let these shit companies cheat each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who needs it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering the few times I’ve seen targeted ads, it’s never actually relevant to me, I doubt their profile of me is in anyway accurate.

  I use blockers so facebook doesn’t know what websites I’m visiting.

  Is Dark Ages really more grounded? What the hell does that mean here?

  I had issues with Eternal demanding I use the weapons the way the devs intended, but when I saw parrying was a central part in Dark Ages, it was an easy decision to wait. Icon of Sin was peak because it was chaos management. I managed the Marauders, but just couldn’t be assed to beat the Dark Lord.

  Good thing the indie scene is making their own Doom likes.

  The show should have been ended a long time ago and the writers and VAs could have moved on to new work, but networks are risk adverse

  Missing the bot comments that don’t reference anything specific in the original post. Sometimes they reference the title, but not the content.

  1. Clearly you didn’t read the part where I mentioned nuclear powered cargo ships.

  2. I like how you’re putting more emphasis on jobs then medicine. I wonder where you’re getting your proprieties from.

  3. If you want people to carefully read your whole post, maybe you should carefully use proper grammar. If you’re going to write an essay, at least use proper punctuation.

  4. I don’t expect anyone to follow any plan. I expect them to do the same thing they did through covid. Make the most selfish, self-centered discussions and cause the most unnecessary amount of suffering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ah yes, the insane plan of consuming less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You really want me to care about your convinces when you don’t care about the ecosystem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Guess we better just ship fertilizers instead of tvs and phones.

  Also, there are concepts for sailing cargo vessels

  Also, we could make nuclear cargo vessels.

  Saying we have to use bunker fuel to maintain our current life style or that we need to maintain current life style is just a lack of creativity and buys into the dogshit status quo that capitalism has trained into you. We’ve know about climate change for over a hundred years and every time anyone suggests doing anything about it, the cudgel of “whAT aBout tHe eCoNOmy!” gets brought up. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care about your pretty little life style. I don’t care about your 401k plan. I just don’t care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. I want less consumerism. I know it will effect me, but I already do my best to minimize my impact. Hearing the whines up materialistic shits will only make it better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ships can use sail.

  Also, we don’t really need this much consumption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Half disagree. They’ve taken a lot of risks in the past with designs that other companies wouldn’t have. Things that didn’t always pan out well and become the butts of jokes.

  But yes, they’ve been a litigious company with ties to the Yakuza that people frequently forget as well.

  Halo 1 was never difficult with Cortana telling you were to go and the waypoint on screen. Assault on the Control/Two Betrayals has arrows on the hallway floors and I never got turned around in The Library.

  If you really want labyrinth level design from Bungie, the Marathon series is were it’s at and completely explains why there’s so much hand holding in Halo CE.

  The worse thing that can happen to your niche hobby is for it to go mainstream. US anime has been consolidated into the Sony/Crunchyroll/Funimation/Rightstuf monster.
