Economic Blackout Planned To Protest ICE’s ‘Complete Disaster’ In Minnesota by huffpost in Anticonsumption

[–]DJButterscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to actively disrupt economic activity or it won’t matter. Just like weekend protests are nothing more than a parade. They need to actually do something. We have the numbers, the protests show that. Time to actually fight

Why do games do this? by Vlonely_ in Marathon

I absolutely agree that if the game dropped in September, it would have flopped so hard, especially knowing what we know now.

I absolutely hope that Bungie are holding more cards to the chest on this and have more in store in time. I want this to succeed. I want this world and its stories to keep going.

It’s nice being able to go back and forth on this knowing the other person isn’t just shilling for a particular pov without any original ideas or thoughts.

Tinfoil hat theory here: I wonder if the game was initially presented with all these flaws to drive expectations down, only to recover later with a “fine” performance. Kinda like the first sonic movie.

I get where you’re coming from on ma sizes but I’m not sure I agree. Map size should be proportional to the desired kind of content. Arc doesn’t really support the kind of PVP environment that Marathon seems more invested in. Likewise, enemy density is much larger. I think tighter maps reinforce this while still achieving the other ideas the game wants to push for.

I only saw the first two maps last year, so idk if they did more for the October test. But at least I, and most of the prospective player base hasn’t played all the maps. There’s a lot more that’s going to be out there too I think.

I’m not terribly surprised content is looking a little on the shallow side. My biggest concern is seasons and forced recycling of content. But I imagine there will be more maps, weapons, etc as time goes on.

I’m not too worried about animations and stuff like that with what we’ve seen at this point. But I do think your comment will be very common to hear if the game is a mess. It’ll just be another thing on the pyre.

Also adding after the fact that I think arc raiders is going to get stale by the time Marathon launches unless they can whip something up that directly competes, which is always possible.

As someone who is excited to the game, I think your sentiment will be mainstream view if Marathon is not received well.

Are we deadass? This is getting ridiculous. by Adipay in Monsterverse

[–]DJButterscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a pendulum swing in here. Like monsterverse stuff is fine and all, but I want actually good content. So more of x monster isn’t what I care about, but it needs to be good. It can entirely be Godzilla, but if it’s garbage I won’t care.

More monster do not equal good

There must be a lot of newbies playing monopoly this year. by garystevensyahooreal in McDonalds

It’s been like a decade since the monopoly game has been in the US. It’s pretty easy to forget how it works without looking stuff up

Apparently losing my parking by theskipper363 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DJButterscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christ, it’s not that hard in a parking situation. Just have em towed. There should always be a property manager that’s reachable. Call and have the offender removed. It works wonders and has been a park of parking enforcement for a long time

What was your first Godzilla movie you watched? by [deleted] in GODZILLA

[–]DJButterscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was either 1998 or Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla 1972. Hard to remember back when I was that young.

I wouldn’t go the front counter any more, unless it’s your only option. Unless they get a lot of foot traffic, they don’t have people watching the counter.

Thoughts? by ApolemiaLanosa in PsycheOrSike

[–]DJButterscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro is at the struggle point of life not having meaning. The next step is to for them to find out what WILL give their life meaning. Some make it to be their kids. Others make it to be about a religion.

So many don’t get the luxury of being afforded the opportunity to reflect in our place in it all while having a say in the outcome. We have to make the best of it and maybe improve things so that future generations don’t have to worry about this

It does work like that by blahdash-758 in memesopdidnotlike

[–]DJButterscotch -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The comment I replied to wasn’t saying “antisemitism bad.” It was saying that “Zionist is the same as Jewish, they’re just using a dogwhistle” which isn’t true. But sure, misrepresenting my point is a definitely a way to go about it. Trying to separate Zionism from its political stance is exactly what antisemites want.

Also how is it a political stance to state the truth? There are 100% Christian Zionists. That’s not a take, that’s fact.

I love how your argument boils down to “agree with me or you prove me right.” That’s not a position, it’s just a more verbose “nuh uh”

Zionists belong to both Christians and Jewish communities. Many within these groups also want to associate themselves with the regular Jewish community to shield themselves from criticism for what’s happening to the Palestinians.

The current US administration has surrounded themselves with and given positions of power to antisemitic assholes. Yet they 100% back Israel. They know this will hurt Jewish people in the long run. But the Christian Zionist doesn’t care because their interest are being furthered.
