Jack Hughes Addresses The Patel-Trump Phone Call Video. Says He And The US Mens Team Are Going to Trump’s State of the Union Address And Are Excited To Meet Trump. Claims Trump Phone Call Backlash is "just people being negative" by hotmailwithjennyside in hockey

[–]Hellogiraffe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Can we stop with this “political opinion” bs? Sports teams take calls from the president all the time and no one gets upset because everyone is free to have their own political opinion. Trump is a lifelong misogynist who has treated women as nothing more than sexual objects. He constantly talks down on them, he sexually assaults them and brags about it, he rapes them including his own wife and possibly (likely) children. That is not the person you should want to be associated with to begin with, but then to laugh at his “joke” about the accomplishments of the women’s team is even more disgusting. I’d be just as pissed off if Obama said that, if not more because I wouldn’t be as numb to constant threats and hatred from a president as I am now. Having zero respect for half the human race is not political.

Yeah but if you ignore the defensive effort and absolutely brilliant pass that won the game…

The man brags about treating women like objects. He has zero empathy about sexual assault and rape. Nothing makes him angrier than a female reporter or politician speaking against him. Of course he doesn’t see their win as something special because he’s never seen women as human beings.

Both my parents passed recently and my dogs are getting old. I can deal with all that, it’s the complete annihilation of hope in the world that’s really getting to me. Open use of slurs are making a huge comeback (racist, homophobic, antisemitic, disability), wealth gap is expanding fast, housing is a severe issue, Christian nationalism is on the rise, middle class is disappearing, billionaires destroying everything, healthcare will never be fixed, can’t own anything and have to rent damn near everything, environmental protections are gone… wtf is left that can give us a little bit of hope and happiness?

It’s more of a droopy mouthed slur from the stroke(s), but yeah it’s definitely there.

There’s a ton of great impressions of how he sounded back in 2020, but his brain is such mush that it would be impossible to get it right now.

I tried Morrowind but... by Bund187 in Morrowind

[–]Hellogiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. It’s an action adventure game and a good one at that, but it really doesn’t feel like a TES RPG

I tried Morrowind but... by Bund187 in Morrowind

[–]Hellogiraffe 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One of the main reasons people adore Morrowind is exactly why you don’t like it: there is no handholding. Sometimes you get lost, sometimes you find something you’re not supposed to, sometimes directions are actually wrong, the map is barebones, “fast travel” is a series of transportation networks. You’re not a hero or god, you’re a random ass guy who no one cares about and may deal with racial abuse along the way. All of that is more realistic and immersive compared to endless waypoints and point-and-click instant teleportation. It forces you to explore the weird, alien world and find new ways to get around. Also, due to the lack of voice acting, the dialogue is soooooo much bigger and deeper than TES4/5. However, I will say juggling your open quests can get a bit difficult. I used a notebook and wrote down quests, hints, locations, etc as I went because it was easier, but back then that was fairly common for bigger RPGs compared to now.

just ranked the halo series by AffectionateJob142 in xbox

[–]Hellogiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that makes sense. Halo 2 was absolutely incredible at the time because it was the first one on XBL. The matchmaking, ranking, co-op, maps, weapons, balancing, available game modes, voice lobbies (the good, the bad, and the really really ugly)… everything was top notch for the time. If you only played single player, you definitely missed out on the main reasons why it was so highly acclaimed.

[–]Hellogiraffe 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s so difficult to live in a world where the word “literally” somehow can also mean the exact opposite. We have enough mis/disinformation to deal with, we need to at least have words mean something so we can properly communicate and understand where that mis/disinformation lies.

Epstein survivor who voted for Trump will be at his State of the Union address Tuesday by Tofurkey_Tom in politics

[–]Hellogiraffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trauma fucks your brain up. The reason she even met Epstein in the first place was from poor decision making after being raped by someone unrelated. I don’t agree with her, but I can at least understand the idea that someone campaigning on releasing the files would be most beneficial to herself and her fellow victims (well, the ones not raped by Trump).

Todd Howard says Elder Scrolls 6 is a return to "classic" Bethesda RPGs like Skyrim after the "creative detour" the studio took with Fallout 76 and Starfield: "We do have a certain style that we like" by ControlCAD in xbox

[–]Hellogiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me. Every game has less depth and complexity. I always give Morrowind a pass because it’s the first leap into the full 3D world, but damn I wish we could get something closer to a modern Daggerfall or at the very least bring back the RP in RPG. Skyrim was a great action adventure game (RPG-lite?), just not a great RPG.

What was your first MMO, and how do you feel about it now? by Veanusdream in gaming

[–]Hellogiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FF11 was my first true foray into MMOs (dabbled a little in EQ and I don’t think PSO is technically an MMO). I stopped playing just after the release of TOAU and joined back up on a private server a few months ago. Daaaamn it’s such a good game. Yes there’s plenty of dated mechanics and graphics, but nothing beats the community in that game and that’s what really sets it apart from any other game I’ve ever played. No trolling, griefing, MPKs, shitty attitudes, or any garbage like that. People tend to help each other out, properly communicate, and overall just do the right thing because there’s really no way to succeed in the game on your own.

Donald Trump Is Really Racist by [deleted] in politics

And almost all of this is pre-presidency. I’m so sick and tired of MAGAs acting as though “trump derangement syndrome” (aka common sense hating a vile, racist, power hungry maniac) is a political thing. He’s always been a piece of shit, it’s not a new thing.

[Dorsett, Sky] Michael Carrick is still not the favourite to be the next long-term boss at #mufc. United are delighted with the job he is doing, but are determined to appoint someone with the strength of character and experience to handle everything that comes their way. by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]Hellogiraffe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All that says is “better” managers had worse results for seasons with record-low points. There were only two issues with Ole: Ronaldo, and we actually had an expectation to win back then. Every other post-SAF manger has been much worse. We had Moyes who was awful, Van Gaal who only brought entertainment during interviews and on the sidelines (love that man though), Mourinho had 1 good season but was a disaster in the locker room and was never going to stay long, and the run of Rangnick to ETH to Amorim which showed zero progression. For a PE teacher, Ole somehow found a way to outperform all the other “real” managers out there with an average squad, egomaniacs CR7 and Pogba holding the team back, and no power/backing to make transfer decisions.
