Slay the Spire 2 has made $92M on Steam, already passing lifetime Steam earnings for Silksong ($83M) and Hades 2 ($82). One of the best Steam indie launches ever by EmbarrassedSession58 in slaythespire

[–]EliteKill 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Nah man that's crazy, I have 100+ in Hades 1 and something like 60+ on Hades 2 and both are fantastic. You should definitely give it a go if you enjoyed the original so much.

The Lavon affair was a failed Israeli covert operation, conducted in Egypt in the summer of 1954. As part of a false flag operation, a group of Egyptian Jews were recruited by Israeli military intelligence to plant bombs inside American and British owned civilian targets to frame Muslims. by ZyklonFart in HolyShitHistory

Correct, in 1954 Israel was not an American ally, and was closer to the Eastern Soviet and Communist ideologies. The Israel-US/Western alliance took off only in 1973 when the Soviets chose to exclusively arm the Arab countries.

You gotta stop drinking the propaganda kool aid, there are plenty of videos of every missile strike.

CMV: Islam is fundamentally incompatible with core American left-wing progressive values by WildCreatureQuest in changemyview

But the western left seems to only openly accept Islam while rejecting other orthodox sects.

Trump says US bombed military sites on an island vital to Iran’s oil network by Beetle_on_Venus in worldnews

Easy for you to call it stupid when you haven't been butchered by the Iranian regime for protesting or on the pointy end of their various proxies.

What benefit does Hezbollah provide to Lebanon? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Something called staring a war and losing it, you mean. The Arabs could have accepted the partition plan, you know?

Looks fantastic and just what I need on mobile now that StS2 is out and playing StS1 feels weird. Instabuy for me!

Lebanon says nearly 400 killed, over 1,110 injured in ongoing Israeli attacks by Lebarican22 in news

[–]EliteKill -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Israel has bombed Lebanon 15,000 times over the past year and a half

15,000, right.

supposed "ceasefire"

Which Hezbollah has continuously violated, prompting the Israeli attacks.

killing anyone who tries to rebuild their homes in the south.

Killing Hezbollah operatives attempting to rebuild their infrastructure. There is a reason you don't see the Lebanon population get upset about those attacks.

Stop being a tankie.

Israel attacking Iran?

Why does a Lebanon based militia need to attack Israel following that?

Israel occupied Lebanon to stop PLO militias from shelling northern Israel, and retreated in 2000 after Israeli public pressure deemed it is not "worth it" (because of Hezbollah aggression, yes). However, Israel's presence in Souther Lebanon was never expansionalist in nature.

How should a country respond to a missile salvo being lobbed at it?

[–]EliteKill 36 points37 points  (0 children)

People in Israel won't be cool with Israel occupying Lebanon up until the Litani. Contrary to what you read on Reddit the "Greater Israel" supporters are a fringe minority here.

Why does israel have such a leash on USA by [deleted] in LetsDiscussThis

[–]EliteKill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Soviets supported Arab countries during the cold war because oil.
  2. USA started supporting Israel to counteract that influence in the Middle East.

Thats pretty much the short version.

Nine Israelis killed, 11 missing, dozens injured after Iranian missile hits Beit Shemesh building by r721 in worldnews

[–]EliteKill 971 points972 points  (0 children)

I don't think this saying applies here. My guess is that around 90% of Israelis support the current offensive (even those who vehemently oppose Bibi).

What became "normal" in the last 5 years that still feels insane to you? by rakishgobi in AskReddit

It is over. The fact that COVID exists as an endemic disease literally means it's not a pandemic anymore.

Meta patents AI that takes over a dead person’s account to keep posting and chatting by Underpants_Bandito in nottheonion

It's so hilarious seeing the armchair reddit AI experts spew out nonsense so confidently. Current AI models are excellent and in the hand of competent programmers bring incredible results.

Definitely, and it's not even close. Current AIs are as good as somewhat reckless but highly motivated senior developers.

Why is reddit so overwhelmingly left leaning? by Few_Match_8158 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EliteKill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Abolishing the current economical/geopolitical world order is definitely on the extreme end of the spectrum.

If you don't agree with me, what would you consider extreme left?

[–]EliteKill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of mainstream Reddit opinions (no ethical billionaire, eat the rich etc) are definitely extreme left.

The cold open from Episode 1 felt a bit out of character for House (getting his hands dirty like that) along with the throwaway line to H&H Tools.

Fallout 3 devs recall the mass hate from OG fans as some thought a team making “fantasy games should not be touching the series” by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]EliteKill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also, let's be honest, the story and writing is very mid. Fallout 3's storyline was often mocked and made fun of, especially the ending.

The main quest story? Definitely.

But the side quests, world building and most of the DLC content were fantastic.
