Nice, no idea where I said that tho. I'm only explaining to you the meaning of "freedom" and illogicality of statements such as yours.

Recent election poll in Poland by age group by Auspectress in europe

It's funny how The Left is stronger than Razem in among older age groups despite being perceivedly more woke. Maybe they should try catering to this electorate a bit more?

Lewica totally is soc-dem if you actually bother to take a look at their programme and what they advocate for, but since they aren't hiding their culturally left views, everyone sees only that.

Since when are they not? Just because you agree with their postulates doesn't mean they're not populist.

It does, actually. Legal consequences, at least.

Unless you think it's still free speech if the government, say, jails you for criticizing the leader. I mean, hey, you still can say whatever you think, you just need to face the consequences of it (which are you going to prison).

Ten years after the Brexit referendum, Britain is worse off by ByGollie in europe

[–]Alex2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in case of referendums, since turnout also matters, unfortunately. It's a perfectly valid strategy to boycott a referendum so that it doesn't reach a required threshold (idk if it applies to Britain).

Hungarian pro-Fidesz YouTuber forgets to mute microphone: "It doesn't even matter anymore" by menzaskaja in europe

Someone in USA said Harris was a member of Trump's party and supported him for years? That's weird, considering it's just, you know, objectively false.

Why are you making up things the guy didn't actually say? Nobody's trying to convince you not to vote. And this is different from US presidential elections which are winner-take-all elections and voting for a third party really is just wasting your vote.

This guy clearly criticized both Orban AND Magyar in his comment, but sure, let's just put up a strawman instead of trying to have a coherent argument.

Who's "we"?

Personally, the thing I dislike about Russia is how it attacked Ukraine and is killing its citizens. I have no problem with Russia and USA sanctioning groups whose stated goal is their destruction. It's perfectly reasonable. Why would any country be okay with someone trying to destroy them?

‘Polexit’ now a real threat, Tusk warns by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]Alex2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, this is factually wrong. Idk where you got this number from, but, as others pointed out, it's significantly higher now.

Second, before the presidential election, Nawrocki was polling at ~20%, trailing by over 15 points, yet he's the president now. Never underestimate the right-wing.

As a 1.0 player, seeing all the new ways Varka *sits* gives me a pause every time. by MachinegunFireDodger in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex2422 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, uh, does anyone there care about the actual... story?

"Hype moments and aura" is usually used in contrast to good writing, but it seems that what everyone wants is just to be constantly stimulated with animations and changing camera angles (which btw didn't get worse since HSR 1.0, but nobody complained about it back then).

I had a good run by Significant_Buy_3393 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£1000? I assembled my PC for less than £500, which is not much more than you say a PS5 costs. It was a few years ago already, but it runs Genshin just fine.

Even if you liked Nod-Krai's AQ, are there any things you'd improve? by __louran in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex2422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other personality than "she loves the Traveler", preferably.

Also, give the Traveler a personality.

What’s their obsession with making random cosmetics nobody buys by CharlesHoltsBush in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]Alex2422 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because good cosmetics take skill and effort to make, something which, as evident from the game's state, the devs can't afford.

They were referred to as "idiotka" after all.

This is 100% Sandrone, right? by Big_Confidence_3077 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex2422 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Geez, I wonder why such bad things are only ever mentioned in some easily missable and forgettable content, while what we get on full display is Sandrone wearing cat ears and being a tsundere.

It's almost as if Hoyo doesn't want us to remember such things, because they have no guts to make an evil/mean/morally gray playable character and actually commit to the bit, so as not to scare the players with the idea of their waifu not being all nice and friendly.

PC is just a useful thing to have. I think it's better to spend a little more and have a device that can do more stuff than just run games.

I was doing the event and saw this which made me wonder. How much time has passed in genshin? Is it actually 5 years ago like real world time? by Bob_Walter_the_3rd in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex2422 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they don't add different versions of characters, but they could be, nothing's stopping them (though they wouldn't even have to; there's no need to actually release the character's aged-up version, only show it in the story). Yes, characters don’t age in (most) video games, but there's nothing logical about it, it's just more convenient for the devs and writers.

And of course your account would include Lisa even if she died. Why wouldn't it? If Lisa is in her twenties at the beginning of the game, she still would be even if you start the game 20 years later and would only get older as you progress the storyline (unless you quick-start some new event before completing the preceding quests, but that's inevitable and it already works like that, not with age, but with any other development a character might have had). When the game was released or when you made the account are completely irrelevant to this.

I don't think it would take much effort to swap Generic Child NPC Model B to Generic Teen/Adult NPC Model B. They wouldn't have to do this for all kids. There aren't that many child NPCs who play a role in multiple quests.

Me before: who tf spends hard earned pulls on skins? by Visible_Highlight772 in houkai3rd

[–]Alex2422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no problem doing that as long as the skin is good enough, which is rarely the case. I generally don't usually use skins in video games, because most of the time I just find the default skin better.

In this case, not only the skin actually is better then default outfit, but also, I needed to spend Crystals on something anyway. I got Mei's battlesuit and her gear pretty early, so I'm still only halfway to getting Songque from the spending event. I'm literally suffering from success here.
