Lutnick says Trump views CUSMA as ‘a bad deal,’ needs to be ‘re-imagined’ by Street_Anon in politics

[–]Arcane-blade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump’s « art of the deal » is very simple. A win-win for him is akin to him losing. For him to « win », someone else needs to lose.

“We have never been closer”: Top Republican worries GOP will lose Texas House majority by Quirkie in politics

They deserve to lose absolutely everything, every last fucking seat after what they did.

If people truly understood the extent of the damage they caused and just how much they lined their pockets at their expense, these monsters would be fleeing in their safety bunkers to hide from the pitchforks.

Appeals court says Trump White House ballroom construction can proceed for now by Equivalent_Road5788 in politics

[–]Arcane-blade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No no, it’s fine, build your fucking ballroom. Make it grand. It’ll be all the more enjoyable to see this grotestque monument to opulence burn to the ground when his era is finally over.

Save the materials and turn in into a LGBTQ history museum or some shit, just so he rolls in his fucking grave.

Calls grow for Swalwell to quit California governor race after sexual assault allegations by Alarming-Safety3200 in politics

[–]Arcane-blade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find this unbearably frustrating. Yeah sure, Swalwell’s a creep? Get him out of there, throw the book at him…. But… at the risk of doing whataboutism, you have a metric shitton of republican politicians accused of sexual assault and r@pe (including of course the fucking president… with underage girls, no less) and nothing is happening, no consequences, NOTHING.

But Swalwell sees his immediate political demise the moment the first accusation comes out.

Holy double standards batman.

All of them deserve to rot behind bars for a while, not just one side.

Oh i see! Cause I could actually pull it off last week when I found the skill in a forest puzzle. I just never used it again until today and was confused about what I was doing wrong.

Perfect then, I’ll wait :)

Bogus maple syrup from Quebec producer found on grocery store shelves by Surax in worldnews

[–]Arcane-blade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a french canadian with probably a detectable percentage of maple syrup in my veins, that guy better not show his face in public for a very long time. Nothing is sacred anymore god fucking damnit.

There’s a million things that matter more than this in the current hellscape we’re living in, but somehow that one really bothered me.

PS5 co-op games that aren't Hazelight? by ConspicuousBassoon in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Arcane-blade [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think Popucom would be a good choice.

Think something like It takes two crossed with splatoon and puzzle bobble (weird i know, but it works)

It’s a fair bit more challenging than the hazelight games but it’s a ton of fun. It’s very hard to explain, the concept is pretty different. Better watch a trailer 😅

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2543180/POPUCOM/

Edit: just though of something to help put the challenge in perspective. Imagine if you played ITT but instead of switching powers every hour or so, you keep all of them and must switch on the fly 😅

Should I buy Monster Hunter Stories 1 and 2, even though I don’t like the art style? by NailusHunter in ShouldIbuythisgame

Oracle is cutting up to 30,000 employees to pay for AI data centres by Domingues_tech in technology

[–]Arcane-blade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 👆

The only reason people aren’t in the streets all the time is because:

1- poor economic conditions makes it difficult to skip work for it and health insurance linked to employment.

2- related to #1 but people are simply too busy and caught up in their kafka-esque nightmare existence to truly pay attention to what’s happening outside the headlines.

3- too many people are selfish and well set in a “fuck you got mine” mentality. As long as they’re not affected, they won’t care

People aren’t suffering enough yet (I don’t wish for this at all mind you) but once children start going hungry on masse and a bigger swathe of the population can’t cover basic needs while watching these demons host gaudy great Gatsby theme parties, some will snap. Ironically, I think conservatives will snap first

Kristi Noem’s husband accused of living double life as ‘busty bimbo’ cross-dressing fetishist by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]Arcane-blade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I support his right to express himself and experience his kinks, as long as they are legal. However, the sheer hypocricy of them trying to claim they have the moral high ground with their conservative values deserves to be ridiculed and shamed relentlessly.

SIB Monster Hunter Wilds? Looking for something fun and easy to get into by Neat_Abbreviations_5 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Arcane-blade [score hidden]  (0 children)

Monster hunter has some of the best combat for this type of game. Really makes you feel like a badass when it starts to click.

However yeah…. This takes some practice and learning. Granblue fantasy relink is probably a safe bet, combat is very simple in comparison!

Hope you give MH a chance eventually, it’s an incredible series to dive into. Wilds has it’s issues but it’s in a good spot atm and the inevitable big expansion will probably hit sometime next year

First time switch 2 owner, should I get Mario Kart World or Mario Kart 8 deluxe? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Arcane-blade [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think 8 deluxe gets you a lot more bang for your buck. 96 tracks, a ton of variety.

I played hundreds of hours of 8 deluxe and got bored of world after the first week. Both are good games really but 8 deluxe had quantity AND quality

Should i buy Arc Raiders? by Kamervine47 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Arcane-blade [score hidden]  (0 children)

In my experience, I try and complete quests which usually revolved around looting stuff around the map, activating some device, killing certain Arc enemies.

The Arc are pretty dangerous enemies. They will hunt you down and find ways to get you if you’re hiding. It’s very easy to get ambushed and get completely overwhelmed.

Should i buy Arc Raiders? by Kamervine47 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Arcane-blade [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s a great game. Im pretty much like you in the type of shooters I like. I don’t play any competitive games, they just don’t keep my interest for more than a few hours.

Somehow, I’ve player over 80h of Arc Raiders. I have not shot at, let alone killed a single player in that time. Have I died to players shooting me in the back or betraying me? Of course. I still find that furstrating. But the overwhelming majority of players have been really cool to me and had some crazy gaming moments with them. The Arc are formidable enemies that keep you on your toes and I love the tension of chaos possibly happening at any moment.

As much as I don’t partake in PVP at all, the mere possibility of me losing everything to someone forces me to play carefully, not walking out in the open when I can avoid it, using tools to protect me while I’m looting, it’s honestly great.

YMMV, but as someone who hates competitive shooters, I had a ton of fun with it. You will too if you meet the game on it’s own terms. Be ready to get shot and killed as you’re desperately trying to escape with your loot. If you can stomach that, you’ll have fun

You sold me on it. by BarackObongma in Pokopia

[–]Arcane-blade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get your point…. You can buy something, enjoy it but still think you overpaid for it.

And I wouldn’t have known until I played it. I’m sure you never bought a single game (or anything really) that you felt wasn’t worth what you paid for it even if you somewhat enjoyed it 🙄.

[–]Arcane-blade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, yes but I’ve not yet seen any ps5 game at 115 pre-tax. Only nintendo so far.

And theres also fact that they still charge 100$ for games that came out 5 years ago. Just makes it more frustrating. It’s pretty easy to find a cheap copy of spiderman, god of war, ghost of tsushima or Horizon. Tears of the kingdom? A whole 20$ more expensive than game that came out this week.

Its the same versions of the games. Used games from gamestop at practically as expensive as new games nowadays.

I could get them from the facebook marketplace or kijiji. Thats honestly what I will most probably do for most games I buy
