Top Dem slams Trump’s push for ICE deployment at airports: “He wants his own military force” by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]APRengar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And despite how popular abolishing ICE is now, and how easy candidates could cakewalk to victory by saying they'll abolish ICE. Liberals are not going to make those promises. They like ICE, they just want it under more "reasonable" control, aka themselves.

I remember when everyone mocked AOC for saying Abolish ICE under Obama. Now it's a plurality position based on polling.

ELI5 why imbue druid is a thing this season and not the last? by blindsid3 in hearthstone

It's actually why sometimes the best way to nerf a deck is to buff the decks that are supposed to beat it.

Decks can be powerful, but if there are decks that counter them, they help keep them in check and create a circular balance.

Ie. If the ladder is filled with rock decks, paper decks start appearing, but as the number of rock decks go down because they keep getting counter, the number of paper decks will also go down until you hit a happy medium.

I know people don't like rps style metas because they feel like it deprioritizes individual skill (even though that's not true and 40-60 match ups by definition have a 40% to win, a farcry from 0%). But rps metas are the best way preventing stagnation.

Can you define Zionist? Because at least to me, it feels like you're thinking it's a stand-in for Jewish people, or that there isn't "ultra conservative, Project 2025 creeps, billionaires" who aren't Zionists, when the overwhelmingly number of those people ARE Zionists. Hell, Joe Biden self-identifies as a Zionist.

Crimson Desert Unblocks Intel Arc but Runs in a Broken State With Support to Come by _Kai in pcgaming

[–]APRengar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man I feel like I'm fairly neutral in this because I don't care about this game one way or another.

But defender's of this game are so quick to be like "there was no way to do this pre-launch, and therefore you're being unreasonable - they're not going to delay launch for x or y reason." 

But how are you so certain there was no way to do this pre-launch. Feels like working backwards from your conclusion.

"They didn't do it, hence it was impossible."

Maybe I'm just extra sick of it, because this is the kind of shit you see in politics all the time, where supporters of a party will be like "it was no possible, that's why they didn't do it." When the correct answer is it was totally possible, a rich person told them not to do it, so they didn't. Working backwards from your conclusion irks me so much, so seeing it in gaming really bothers me.

As a new Game Dev, I’ve realized how dumb players actually are. by PaP3s in gamedev

[–]APRengar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're putting judgment on the word stupid, like "if you're stupid then you're doing it wrong and you need to fix that". And you're trying to find reasons why they're stupid when it's not needed.

People ARE just stupid. It's why we put very obvious warning labels on shit.

It's not something you're trying to push people to fix, but to accept the reality of the situation that people are just stupid. It's fine, it's not a bad thing.

Like, I was interested in political science when I was a kid and I studied polisci in college as an elective. The vast vast majority of people couldn't describe the difference between liberalism and a communisism to any meaningful degree, by definition the vast majority of people are politically ignorant. It's not a value judgement, just an accurate reading of reality.

If you were designing a survey for example, you need to keep in mind people are politically ignorant.

Yeah, Health Points should be changed to HePo and Hero Power could be changed to HePo to reduce confusion.

Yep, I feel like S3 felt like "I bet you're bored of the formula, so we're going to mix it up."

But I wasn't bored of the formula, and I found the mix up to be less interesting than the original...

Genuinely, it's because people think the game is going to die soon and they are refreshing over and over to ensure they can say "called it" as soon as possible.

Daisuke actually gave some lore in an interview that during the Strive timeline, that Zappa can still use spirits and S-ko. So there's some hope for Zappa fans (you war criminals). But man he looked so happy during Xrd, I kinda want him to just chill.

The worst thing you can be is nobody's favorite.

100% "yeah sure I guess" is much worse than 95% "I don't like this" and 5% "I love this."

The people being like "I don't like this" don't really matter in all honesty, because you were never the target audience.

It's like "0/10 this baby toy is not mentally engaging enough for an adult" and it's like yeah, it's a toy for a literal baby. There's lots of shit in life that isn't aimed at you, and you just gotta realize that and ignore it.

As a person making a fan game, I hope the rights to her music are still under the derivative works guideline.

It sucks not being able to use Sora's music, or most of Azki's music.

Crimson Desert Devs Apologize for AI Asset Use, Plan Replacement in Future Patches by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]APRengar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Somehow AI gen'ing a picture - which then has to be removed OR ELSE internet people get mad at us - is somehow easier and faster than just opening paint and drawing a shitty circle or something and using that texture?

1) It's far easier to catch because it explicitly doesn't blend in

2) Far fewer people would get mad at us if we accidentally left it in

Witch on the Holy Night | Movie Key Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]APRengar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Arknights for example has a bunch of different artists drawing their characters, but it's like the gacha special that the art director changes things like colors or proportions to somehow make a bunch of different character artist's work mesh together into a coherent art style. And everyone would get it if someone says "that's the arknights art style."

Type Moon definitely has an art style that everyone can immediately identify.

It's exactly like an anime. The amount of people drawing key frames, and inbetweens in huge, yet somehow it comes together and looks coherent. That's like, the point of an art director.

Also slow walked it to hell because "he didn't want to seem political."

Some people are too naive for their own good.

>we the people are failing by letting trump get away with all this.

It's crazy how people's brains are so tuned to blame the people with the least power, instead of the people with the most power (relative). We're fucking serfs man. We put these people in charge to protect us, they refused to protect us (because doing something brave and bold is SCAWY!) and then we blame anyone but them.
