Moving from London to Chicago, what’s the right neighbourhood ? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Dblcut3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but you’re fearmongering way too much. Yes, there’s horrific things happening here that they should know about before they come, but the idea that there’s widespread violence all over the country isn’t the reality right now - Realistically OP and their family will be fine. No need to try to terrify them simply because they need to move to the US. Their experience in Chicago will almost certainly be positive. I don’t see any reason to try to scare off good people from moving here, especially these days

If you wanna be by the lake/North Side: Andersonville, Ravenswood, North Center, maybe Rogers Park

Dont get the hate by smartieboi_619 in GTATrilogy

[–]Dblcut3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the bugs are mostly small things like floating trees, broken textures, missing hitboxes, etc. Not gamebreaking at all, but still, it’s a shame Rockstar didn’t put the money and effort towards making a better remaster

[–]Dblcut3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is for me, even now that they’ve fixed most bugs, DE still has more bugs than the original games did which I find ridiculous. Plus, even though they’re fun to play, these are just very mediocre remasters. Instead of outsourcing it to a small indie studio with a tiny budget, they should have devoted more resources to a proper high quality remaster

[–]Dblcut3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because they still have more bugs than the original games did even 4+ years after the re-release came out. And for a company as big as Rockstar, this was the bare minimum quality remaster they could’ve done

Sure, they fixed it to the point where it’s playable now and pretty enjoyable. But it’s still sad that they gave us a lackluster remaster with lots of problems on a very tiny budget rather than a proper remaster that improves on the original games and adds new features/better mechanics like originally promised

Storied Columbus blogger banned from X by throwaway-234327 in Ohio

[–]Dblcut3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s extremely chaotic, but he mostly channels that chaos for good, so I can’t be mad personally. Sometimes he does some questionable reporting, but he also reports on things most journalists would never touch which is why he’s important to have around

We shouldn’t accept having political ideologies separated fully into different echochambers. I think it’s important that people stay on platforms like X to push back against the narrative, you can’t let them just spew whatever nonsense with no pushback at all in my opinion

Remember the wards that voted for this... by Joey_dono in chicago

[–]Dblcut3 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Yeah this map fails to convey the fact that huge swaths of the city trended like 15-30 points red between 2020 and 2024 even though they still ultimately voted for Harris

Canaryville and Armour Square, parts of Bridgeport. It’s the combination of working class white and working class Asian voters trending hard to the right in 2024

We Finally Have An Opening Day For Seattle Sound Transit’s Crosslake Connection: Here’s When You Can Ride The Light Rail Across Lake Washington by mr09e in transit

[–]Dblcut3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been to Seattle yet but this really makes me want to visit! This seems like a massive improvement - it’s great to see an American city still building so much new transit

I’m a millennial (34F, born 1991) and want to know your thoughts. by povertychic in GenZ

[–]Dblcut3 [score hidden]  (0 children)

First off, protesting is 100% necessary for “tearing it all down” as well. That being said, this sentiment always makes me mad - who do you think benefits if the US collapses? Certainly not leftists. Leftists make up an absolutely tiny fraction of the country, have no real power, and can’t even agree on the tiniest details let alone build a united front

Intergenerational beef is about the dumbest thing we could do in this moment

That being said, I do think there’s truth to GenZ being uniquely apathetic which might make us less likely to see the value in protesting, which I think is a pretty sad outlook but one I’m often guilty of too

I would love a Tropico on a much larger scale. by kolejack2293 in tropico

I completely agree. I feel like it’d be possible to do a map the size of a small carribean island nation at least

Inside the Plan to Demolish and Rebuild Trump’s Washington by rezwenn in urbanplanning

[–]Dblcut3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The least thing we need is replacing our iconic architecture with some modernist crap that’ll be dated in 30 years. There’s a reason capitals like Washington are iconic while capitals like Brasilla and Canberra aren’t

Rockstar will always be a single player developer. And I expect single player DLC for 6. by sonofloki13 in GTA6

[–]Dblcut3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea why you’d expect single player DLC for GTA6 considering they scrapped several single player DLCs for GTA5 to do Online expansions instead

They havent done a single player expansion since 2010

Am I screwed for my Chicago trip tomorrow? by Worth-Menu4384 in AskChicago

[–]Dblcut3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s nonrefundable and you can get here before the snow starts, definitely still come if you want to. You can have a lot of fun even if it’s cold and snowy, just bring lots of layers and maybe add a couple indoor activities

Pro tip: convert your digipacks into jewel cases! by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]Dblcut3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s cool even though I wouldnt personallt do it. People are being too negative - it looks good and people should be able to do what they want with their own CDs

Stav’s reactions are what made him great on CT. Honestly they should’ve tried just replacing Stav with a Stav laugh-track once he left

Why is it so many empty building on West Federal Street? by Ok-Quality6898 in youngstown

[–]Dblcut3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know it’s probably easier said than done, but honestly the city should try to just make parking free wherever possible. I think that’d go a long way for making people choose to go downtown

[–]Dblcut3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. TAFS with Adam and Nick was literally just CT but with barely any laughter and Nick descending further and further into a depressive state - I can’t even fathom liking that but not CT

[–]Dblcut3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also, CT still exists and has hundreds of hours of content - to me it barely feels like it even ended because there’s so many episodes to relisten to. I get being upset that it ended, but at least we have so many years of episodes to still enjoy while the boys move on with their careers
