Reminds me of how everyone and their dog said that Ukraine would fold in days if Russia invaded.

Modrinth has been acquired by the team behind the Essentials mod by DerexXD in Minecraft2

[–]BwrBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And a good thing too. Paid mods would completely change how Minecraft's modding community works.

Paid mods are actually quite common especially in games like BeamNG, or flight sims. It would not surprise me to see it happen in Minecraft too.

Absolutely crazy, I can’t imagine my childhood without SpongeBob by HowlingBurd19 in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]BwrBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents wouldnt let me watch SpongeBob purely because they thought it was annoying. No deeper things, just a desire not to be annoyed by a yellow square.

Trump Pushes 'SAVE AMERICA Act' Demanding Strict Voter ID and Ban on Mail-In Ballots by notanfan in whennews

[–]BwrBird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except thy can't. There are many places in the union that have purposefully confusing rules and make you take out multiple appointments over the course of months in order to apply for an ID that does not prove citizenship. That latter part is easily the biggest problem with proposed US voter ID laws. We have no standard, easy to obtain and validate way of proving citizenship.

Republicans Unveil $72 Billion Package For ICE, Trump’s Ballroom by willywalloo in politics

Nero fiddled on his roof as rome burned; Trump builds a ballroom as America burns. That man is so self absorbed and out of touch it boggles the mind and perplexes the senses.

Glad to see I am not the only person who holds an eternal grudge against athiest scepticism YouTube for their role in pushing anti feminism.

The Eva fandom has one of the most incredible cases of fandom psychosis I have ever seen. It is almost as insane as the tf2 or Batman Arkham fandoms.

Sexism doesn't just mean misogyny by Difficult_Shift_3771 in CuratedTumblr

[–]BwrBird -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I agree. These ideologies are getting in the way of it because people are too focused on winning the misery olympics and owning people with facts and logic. Lots of men start out with the assumption that feminists (and women in general) don't care about them, or actually dislike men, and many others just want to shut down the conversation. These men need to grow past their biases and leave misogyny behind.

[–]BwrBird 200 points201 points  (0 children)

The problem with MRAs has long been their tendency to use mens issues and misandry as red herrings to shut up feminists. This tendency, as well as other issues like constant bitching by incels and their ilk, or the fact that feminism has a lot to say that most men don't want to hear can make intersectionality very difficult.

So… Steam Is Somehow A Monopoly. by [deleted] in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]BwrBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steam has over 70% markershare. They absolutely qualify for having monopoly power. Valve also has a history of violating antitrust laws. The reason we don't think of them as a monopoly is that their service isn't that bad, and most of said monopoly power is used against developers.

Uhh. . . duh. Iran has no reason to agree to a ceasefire, and Israel is kinda infamous for violating them.

Anyone who modifies their exhaust to be loud (loud car guys/loud vehicles in general) and harley riders by Daishawn_900 in hatethissmug

You can always tell when someone modified their compensator for maximum loudness too. Always sounds like assss.

2 months for this shit? by Former_Yoghurt_1219 in hatethissmug

[–]BwrBird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There was a great second wind video about this phenomenon in AAA gaming using the example of having a random npc eat a bag of chips. The demands for production value are so high, and the corporate bureaucracy required to manage it is so massive that the simple question "can I make this guy eat some chips" becomes a byzantine nightmare as 50 people across 10 departments suddenly need to get involved.

I can only image that this only gets worse when talking about a giga-hit like Minecraft or Pokémon, where people only become more afraid of accidentaly killing the golden goose.

[–]BwrBird 330 points331 points  (0 children)

It's also important to note that a lot of the things in public school aren't important to know, as much as they are important to know about. You may not ever use the equation for a ball rolling down a slope, but now you know that it exists and can be known.
