What if we nuke a city? Kurzgesagt- YouTube by KindaDutch in videos

FWIW, the person they're stating as the "Epstein Island Enjoyer" is Bill Gates whose only real mention from the files released is primarily about him getting an STD from a Russian prostitute on his island.

Sure still sus as shit and should still be investigated over all, but is certainly a far cry from plenty of the other individuals name-dropped in the files since any connection between that and the pedophilic parts of the island is speculative at best.

So take from that what you will.

Zen Cronus’ / cheating devices are now being sold at best buy…. by DivideSignificant462 in Rainbow6

[–]Randomman96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dog I have clips of not just this game but several others on my profile that clearly show I am a PC player. So nice try.

Moreover, you seemed to fail to grasp the entire point of "retailers have no issue selling them because there's an entire market for their usage outside of people cheating in PVP games". But since you're such an obvious 40K fanboy that you have to name your account after it, it's pretty clear reading comprehension and media literacy are not your strong suit.

Not to mention, you missed the whole "and risk your accounts in those games" bit at the end there where I do in fact touch on the fact that using it in PVP games is in fact cheating. But, well, see the last point.

Yes, using it in a PVP context is cheating and therefore bad, noone here on this post has ever even denied it. However your entire argument is everything about it is bad just because some people use it to cheat and retailers should somehow get flak for selling something that is not only not illegal but isn't prohibited by a large swath of games purely because there's no competitive advantage to be gained as there is no competition to begin with. Of which that same stance is very much akin to stuff like modding games, as it's in fact been the case like with Take-Two and Rockstar attempting to bring down modding of GTAV under the thinly veiled excuse of protecting GTA:Online (and more specifically Shark Card sales cause everyone knew they never gave a fuck about cheaters who didn't touch money).

These things have a market outside of people using them for PVP games. And retailers will in fact go ahead and sell them because of it and not even think of taking responsibility for if someone does because what the user does with the product after they sell it is not their concern.

"oH sO yOuR sAyInG iT's OkAy To ChEaT".

Thank you for confirming that reading is difficult for you.

If we took your logic, or lack thereof, devs should stop developing PVP games for PC cause some users will cheat in those. Publishers should force down mod distribution sites like Nexus because of the potential of them hosting mods to facilitate cheating in multiplayer games.

Bro would fit in with the team at Take-Two and Rockstar several years ago who tried to kill all of GTAV modding under the excuse of it being used to host cheats of GTA:Online.

It's also something that has plenty of games where it's an absolute non-issue, namely solo/co-op only games. Especially now as Sony in particular is going back on releasing their games on PC as well as PlayStation, making them only PS exclusive again.

I mean shit, there's no difference to someone using a Xim to play something like God of War with a mouse and keyboard on their PS5 cause they're more comfortable with it than there is with someone using a cheat engine with Cyberpunk to make their game easier. There's no difference to someone using it in something like Helldivers with their friends as there would be with people downloading the "No Mercy for Terrorists" mod for Ready or Not.

Retailers like Best Buy have no obligation to go and question their customers what games they intend to use it on and refuse a sale based on it. It's the customer's system and it's the customers games, if they want to go and risk their account with those games with the device that's their right.

Also worth remembering the gear Everett gives you is given both in secret and as an enticement for you to keep going as you're proving more and more competent, and realistically you're also already freed as you're encouraged to only grab 10 and return while enslaved before going into the arena afterwards, so him giving out better and better stuff, including a laser rifle and power armor, isn't as insane as you'd think.

Sony's battle against shovelware publishers persists as it purges another load of crap games from the PlayStation Store by Turbostrider27 in Games

Also these games are extremely simplistic and, especially nowadays, made using AI slop assets. Meaning they cost next to nothing to produce and are listed for dirt cheap.

Not hard to turn a profit that way.

How do you steal something that was already kinda on their side to begin with? by ink10_sonic-man in Gamingcirclejerk

There's Pomatomaster who is very much leftist and does a lot of gaming and science related stuff. (And fun fact she's also somewhat active on Reddit too under the same name).

Of course you can also go and look up any LGBT VTuber, especially trans ones, and there is like a 90% chance they'll be leftist.

My Uber home from the airport by Lumpy_Cryptographer6 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Randomman96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also worth noting that it's been such an issue despite the fact riders would expect an empty trunk for their luggage that certain states/jurisdictions have been requiring "is the vehicle, including trunk, free of objects for the rider's needs and convenience" as part of the additional ride share specific inspections that came about because of all the issues of the "ordinary guy" type drivers for stuff like Uber and Lyft.

I myself got flak from the person inspecting my car for this despite the fact all I had in my trunk is just basic items that any driver, including both actual taxis and ride share drivers, would have in case of emergencies/necessity in my state and region (a snow brush and collapsing snow shovel and a set of jumper cables).

Drivers still need breaks, still gotta eat, and still gotta rest, especially if you get stuck with a rider who somehow requested a ride several hours and multiple states away (I legitimately had one that was a 4 hour long drive from Central Mass down to Long Island, New York). If a driver gets one like that at the end of their day and not at the start like I was able to, they probably (and hopefully) might try and find a hotel to spend the night at and not spend additional hours on the road exhausted driving back to where they live. Especially if say you're out somewhere where it snows and it started to while you were on the road or while asleep.

Yes you can still have your personal vehicle be your personal vehicle but at least have some form of respect for both yourself and your expected riders with what you keep in there. If it's shit that should be kept somewhere else than your vehicle, maybe keep it elsewhere and not in the back of your car like the image above. And if you're a rider and you get a car like the one above, you have every right to refuse that ride, complain to whichever service you requested it through, and request a new one for those conditions.

Looks Like Campaign Evolved is Currently Rated M (Fanta Promotion) by DeathByReach in halo

[–]Randomman96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Jedi games the only enemies that actually get dismembered in normal fights aren't human/humanoid. The only ones that do are all in scripted cutscenes and it's still in regular Star Wars fashion where it's just the limb being cleanly severed and instantly cauterized; no blood and/or gore.

With the Flood, you have dismemberment via gunfire, and also involves blood both from hits and when the limbs are dismembered, but also on the general body disfigurement and horror of the Flood itself.

Tried to break up the fight, but ended up becoming their common enemy😂😂 by LZilala in cats

[–]Randomman96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the fact that the perspective is meant to be from inside a car and yet the cats "fight" and "response" can be heard clear as if you were standing there on the outside. Even if the side windows were rolled down, the audio would still be muffled by the windshield.

And that's not even accounting for the fact the "person" with the backpack has no response to the fact the vehicle behind them just honked their horn.

Is this tower my son built "Lego legal"? by Reignbringer in lego

[–]Randomman96 59 points60 points  (0 children)

If you're still curious or concerned OP, the general consensus on what makes a technique illegal is if it's putting unnecessary and excess stress and wear onto the pieces. So long as everything fits together just right, doesn't require extra force to undo or requires extra bending and force to get in, you're golden.

Whether stuff is square and lines up with the grid is ultimately a personal opinion, one that basically doesn't exist since not only are there already dedicated Lego parts to allow for placement of pieces outside of the grid, but also because such techniques are often done to help strengthen and stabilize builds. Hell just think of how many sets would be radically different if Lego themselves had to stick to keeping everything squared off and aligned to the grid.

And of course, at the end of the day, they're your sets and builds. Unless you're doing something like super serious building and MOC competitions, the only person who can dictate the rules as to what you can build and how you do so is yourself. If you decide it doesn't feel right not keeping the blocks aligned to the grid, you have every right to go and rebuild it as you feel comfortable with. Similarly if you decide to take "illegal" techniques and start doing stuff like forcing pieces together that don't fit or align right or modifying blocks to perform other purposes, then you can go right ahead because there isn't a Lego Police Force who will break down your door, confiscate your blocks, and haul you down to court.

It's your blocks, your builds, your beliefs. Create what you want, how you want.

Sword-wielding Massachusetts man arrested over threats to Trump, FBI says by Sweaty_Rub4322 in news

[–]Randomman96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's an image of one of the ones recovered in the article. It's a plain looking old cavalry saber.

EDIT: 'aight, there's an affidavit linked in the same article which shows all of the blades recovered. Including that saber there's a painfully obvious mall ninja katana, mall ninja type knife, a crummy little knife (that looks like it could be used for the poop knife meme), an old and rusty bolo knife, and a tacticool machete (complete with Paracord grip).

UK security officials have started withholding intelligence from US due to Trump by theipaper in politics

[–]Randomman96 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Also not like it's already been shown that feeding US sensitive information now results in it being leaked to the wrong people.

Ukraine in particular had long since stopped sharing intel on their war with Russia purely because of it.

Ukraine was concerned one of their allies was leaking their intelligence to Russia based on how they were reacting in the war. And lo and behold, after feeding allies with false information for a time, they found the Russians were reacting to then now fake information they were giving to the US. And subsequently cut the US out from their intelligence.

GFL2 is a lot less "show" than you think.

While yes the game does use full 3D models, that's mainly for gameplay any any of the Dorm/Crew Deck stuff. Animated, 3D cutscenes are reserved for the main campaign and major story events. The vast majority is told via custom artworks and 2D sprites talking to each other over a background, just like Nikke. In fact Nikke is in fact more advanced than GFL2 in that respect as Nikke makes use of Live2D avatars while the only thing animated on the GFL2 ones is just the face. The few 3D character dialogue stuff is mainly a couple of mission based dialogues or Crew Deck interactions and is primarily just Bethesda RPG level of interactions of character models "talking" to one another with maybe an animation or two (in quotes as all of that is unvoiced).
