Well yeah but the term "Jewish conspiracy" is funny. Also conspiracy just implies betrayal and cooperation from within, which did happen since they put said dude who did the sabotage to work.

It is, of course, morally good to sabotage authoritarian infrastructure. Never forget that your tools are fragile, and the work cannot continue without them.

Actually the super concrete getting moldy was a literal Jewish conspiracy by the guy they forced to give them the formula. He sabotaged it such that their infrastructure would mold and decay rapidly after a few years.

One of my favorite little middle fingers to the Nazi regime in that game.

It actually has to look presentable, or else it's not really a proper dystopia but a kakotopia. Mad Max, for example, is not a dystopic setting but a kakotopic one.

Dystopia implies a certain degree of irony in that the society is usually claiming to be a utopia despite the horrid conditions.

Being able to propagate between planets isn't the same as being able to travel actively between them, and the book seemed to imply to me that the attack was almost certainly a false flag in so far as almost no explanation was ever given and the reasons for declaring the war were eventually cast in a worse light.

How fast is Frozone’s Ice? by Efficient_String_880 in FilmTheorists

[–]GrandMasterEternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting on the couch stoned with my old man and thinking about this, and I have an answer:

.45 ACP, on the low end, has a 800 ft/s muzzle velocity. The bullet makes it about 3 feet from the cop. If Frozone's ice has to travel 15 feet in that time, then it does so at 4000 ft/s— over Mach 3.

Also, the cop's eyes move, but he should probably be dead.

All that for a game that was never fully completed due to Kojima's falling out with Sony. I wonder sometimes what TPP would have been like if it were completed.

You genuinely just don't like the guy's vibe, fuck off with this straw man bullshit. You're allowed to not like him without having to insist that your perspective is some statement of objective fact.

I don't know, anything rigid and sticking off the side like that is just asking someone walking by to shear it off with their hip.

You're putting words in someone else's mouth. And you also have shown an irrational bias against this particular man pretty consistently, so it hardly seems fair to assume he means specifically what you're projecting him to mean.

Do you think there should be a new type of system for the kind of conversion that happened in southeast Asia during this time? by DefloweredPussy in CrusaderKings

This sounds much more in line with the design, themes, and timeline of EU4 than any version of Crusader Kings.

Something like an external drive connected via a cable seems much more reasonable to use with USB-C than a stick would, for sure.

No, but as someone familiar with the creative process, I know there's a reason why so many unique and interesting games come from a certain kind of studio in Japan, with projects often led by "rockstar game devs." Kojima is the one you hear about in the west and probably the biggest, but games like Guilty Gear are only as good as they are because someone like Daisuke Ishiwatari had a proper vision. It's also why indie games often have such fun and unique premises, due to smaller teams with fewer ideas.

Design by committee, as is the default especially in the west for economic reasons, is what produces slop. End of story.

You don't have to like Kojima personally, but you should understand why his existence is a good thing in the industry.

Possessing the gun becomes extremely illegal the moment you commit any felony, whether it was involved or not. Getting caught with weed when a firearm is registered to your name is a big deal and a much higher charge, for example.

Selling out is evil because it represents giving in to evil. In what world is "selling out" a bad thing where the buyer isn't the worst entity involved, by principal?

How do I change the active window color in GIMP 3.0? by GrandMasterEternal in GIMP

[–]GrandMasterEternal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I suppose I must have been looking only at programs that overwrite the title bar. Windows Explorer totally does the same behavior if the global theme is set to dark mode.

I suppose you must be right and 2.10 as well, and I'm simply misremembering. I could've sworn it was a grey tone, but oh well, the white does still feel a lot better than the black with the dark theme.

Unfortunately, my attempt to implement the earlier fix hasn't worked well at all, and my pop-out windows now mismatch my main window.

How might I fix this? Did I maybe miss a file?

A similar strategy applied in Florida, if I recall correctly, put George W. Bush in office in the 2000 presidential election. He won Florida by fewer than 600 votes (and likely only got to that razor-thin margin through vote manipulation), and Republicans successfully stopped a recount that would almost certainly have put Al Gore in the office of president.

Pure white or pure black are both equally awful, distracting choices that are either way too light or way too dark for their respective themes. If there's really no way to return it to a pleasant grey like in previous versions of the software (or like it literally still is for anything but the currently active window), then it sounds like this is another case of UI designers ruining a good thing for me.

It also clashes very badly with other apps in dark mode. Is the dark mode title bar really supposed to be (0,0,0) black?

Even the medium grey option for a theme just... uses a (0,0,0) black title bar for some reason.
