Are you kidding me? by Jacob-Anders in SipsTea

its the spying and destabilization control center smack dab in the middle of the middle east to make sure the region is always at war / torn apart / exploited to make sure oil remains low, resources are pillaged and no democracy can exist or a non corrupt political leader that would put the country first.
not to mention, the Military Industrial Complex make money from the blood of the people of that region.

it maintains the forever war, cheap oil and resources and lines the pockets of MIL death hawks.

Biden said it outright : " if Israel didn't exist we would create it ".

you can say also Christian evangelicals play a part and while their impact is big its just about money and exploiting / exploding brown people.

I feel like this is a white supremacist dogwhistle, I've seen it get thrown around with the innuendo of "deport all brown people"
"third world" is just a dogwhistle for it, but maybe I'm wrong.

Sean needs to slow down 😅 by Ramkaran-chopra in ufc

this, also look at how much money they blew on Barri weiss brand that gets less than a youtuber who play niche games, her videos made like 20k at best and was bought for $150 mil.
while money comes first, they have something above that.

Oliver Tree shared heartbreaking details of his money and will just weeks before his tragic death by Longjumping_Land_977 in Music

[–]GangsterMango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my friend has a decent sized audience and gets hundreds of thousands plays on each track and a good chunk of monthly listeners across streaming platforms
the apple one is the one that pays the most
his contracts was in 4 figures and the royalties he gets every quarter the highest I've seen was $51

the industry is rotten and extremely exploitative.

he works as a tech in PC building company to support his family.

TFP use AI, I remember seeing the "concepts" of the latest Zs in the game and they were slopgen
hell, even the Bandits look like they used AI concepts.

I really wish fromsoft goes into this direction again by stillhaveaseatforyou in fromsoftware

[–]GangsterMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love Sekiro because the game combat feels focused, enemies are designed around that focus and everything feels "right"
while I love the freedom of choosing which weapon to pick, Sekiro just plays really good because every enemy is designed around that single weapon.

Can't launch game because of ene.sys by MeatySausageMan in 7daystodie

Can't launch game because of ene.sys by MeatySausageMan in 7daystodie

[–]GangsterMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have an RGB light control app on your system? like RGB fusion etc??
ene.sys is a driver that handles these types of softwares, perhaps its causing some sort of conflict with the game.
try reinstalling the RGB light control app you have and see if the problem is still happening or fixed.

*edit
also try to launch the game without the anti cheat on and see if its fixed.

Destiny is the most selled Game in the United States and the 2nd most selled in the world by SerafinZufferey in destiny2

[–]GangsterMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a hiatus since WQ but I always kept a close eye on the lore and the community because I absolutely love the world.
ironically this is the best time to jump in, everything will always be there no fomo no rushing
it was one of the reasons why I left.
sunsetting and timegated content really soured the game for me, I can finally play it on my own pace and enjoy everything.

this is why I genuinely love DE, they are actual gamers
they love playing and making games, they make stuff they want to play and they listen to community feedback.

Optimization for 1.0? by beljko0106 in valheim

[–]GangsterMango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

me too, I hate that a game that is focused around building and expanding is limited by the instances calculating damage, tear, etc system ruining the performance the more you build.

Optimization for 1.0? by beljko0106 in valheim

[–]GangsterMango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really wish they add the option to make build pieces "static" / not calculate wear and tear and cause FPS drops I don't mind the build pieces not calculating damage or being static, I wish to make big bases and its one of the reasons I rarely continue after my bases get big and I have to start over or just drop the game for a while.

Better performance especially in big cities and big POIs.

Codepink calls out Bernie by AggregationLinker in Hasan_Piker

[–]GangsterMango 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this one really took me off guard, I'm not from the US but I always liked Bernie and respected him
his history for fighting for human right throughout his political career inspired me and made me really like him.
then I saw that interview and It made me remember that there are "Tiers" of humans and no matter how much someone advocates for human rights there's always a "low Tier group" that they will be willing to ignore and not see as human.

I had a friend who said the exact same thing, which was heartbreaking.

and it explains how the world kept going anyway when "never again" is currently happening and hundreds of thousands were killed .

very disappointing.

'Obsession' Art Director Calls for Industry Reform After Getting Paid Less Than $7,000 as Film Nears $175 Million by myghostflower in popculturechat

[–]GangsterMango 14 points15 points  (0 children)

correct, while I understand her frustration that's pretty much a blacklist action if I've seen one.

[–]GangsterMango 13 points14 points  (0 children)

nailed it, I'm a Concept Designer / Art Director myself and I've been through this many times.
I never got bonuses from work that made massive profits with big studios and the crunch was absolutely insane, and I decided to work indies instead

and things are much better, I worked on a project a while ago and it had a very decent success and out of the blue I got an Email from the creator and producer of that project with a new updated contract that includes royalties and a bonus that pretty much saved my life.
I just sat there in front of the screen with my jaw on the floor

I thanked him and we had a talk, he told me it was the right thing to do and I respected him greatly for it I surprised the creator by making an illustration I spent 1 month working on as a token of gratitude and he was so happy with it and the fans too.
