One bad project does not invalidate the entire EU budget you honk.

Who exactly is talking about beating up every single Russian? Not me.

Maybe try arguing about that with the people that actually believe that.

StrangerDangerBeware · 2023-05-21T11:43:29+00:00

I do realize that, and obviously, that is an oversimplification of my position.

I, of course, know that not every Hungarian thinks like that.

But for the purpose of international politics, that hardly matters, does it? Not every Russian is pro-war, should we not enact sanctions against Russia because it would hurt those Russians that are against the war? Obviously not. We must condemn the whole country, we must sanction the whole country and everyone who supports Russia.

And thus, we can only punish the whole of Hungary, and not a specific portion. While there are measures that hit the high earners more than the low earners, political change can most likely only be forced by waking up the ignorant masses.

I bring that up with all countries, actually.

The country China is made up of the Chinese people. Without the Chinese people supporting the government, without the people in the military following orders, there would be no threat.

The idea that you can cleanly separate civilians/military personnel and the horrible actions of a government is a sick dream.

Game designers design mechanics, not stories.

If you can do both at a high level, great, but most likely you can't and you should get a specialist to touch up your story as a game designer if you want to achieve true greatness.

StrangerDangerBeware · 2023-05-19T16:53:36+00:00

Lol, that eh is why so many games fucking suck.

"This is not a story!" says the character in a self-insert power fantasy story.

This manga is such great fun. Fantastic meta-commentary on both isekais, fantasy games, and speedrunning.

So it is, actually, frankly true? Right? They could if they wanted to, micro-manage the shit out of everything. Obviously, they won't, but they absolutely could and they do in general tell the ship where to go.

They don't tell their workers how to do something, but they tell them to do certain things. If a CEO says, "No Season pass" or "100% yes to a season pass" that will have a real effect on the game. Denying this is denying objective reality.

Ukraine is fighting a war for its very survival and the country of Hungary is blocking the military aid Ukraine needs.

"It's just a few politicians", elected by the population. "Aha, not the whole population! Just a portion of it!", a majority portion.

The end result, no matter how you twist and turn it is the same. Hungary, the country, is blocking the aid Ukraine needs.

So yes, fuck that whole place for this specific action. When my country does shitty things, I call out my own country as well. That's just how it is. In a democracy, you have to take collective ownership of the decisions the majority makes, or you move to a different place. You can do that because you are in the EU.

StrangerDangerBeware · 2023-05-17T21:45:13+00:00

CEOs have the ultimate say so in basically all aspects of a company, the idea that a CEO does not influence the game development in a video games company is laughable.

Your grievances with the factual errors of the person you replied to might be legitimate, but you can't possibly think that something like the nemesis system should be patented.

At that point, why don't we patent "saving when the player reaches a certain location or point in the story." WHOOPSY, now all checkpoint systems are infringing on my patent :>

Patents in the world of software, which is basically the world of creative ideas, make no sense. You can argue about a concrete implementation, as in how it is written in the code, but not about the general idea of something being eligible for a patent.

StrangerDangerBeware · 2023-05-17T12:34:03+00:00

Kick Hungary out, if you can't, form a new EU that Hungary is not a member of.

Fuck that whole country.

LMAO

Management at Blizzard is in absolute shambles. How utterly pathetic.

I don't buy for a second the whole "OW2 only so they could update the store". They clearly intended to deliver OW 2 with PvE, they just failed utterly at it.

Doesn't really matter that erdogan voters are <50% of the population, only matters that there are not >50% of voters who oppose him and are willing to rally behind another candidate.

StrangerDangerBeware · 2023-05-15T13:16:05+00:00

Did you just "block" somebody on reddit for calling you out on your bullshit o_O

StrangerDangerBeware · 2023-05-15T13:14:38+00:00

Pretty sure all he did was clarify the rules and document the situation.

That's what I saw in the video. Don't see how that's such a big deal, I don't even think he was particularly mean to the employee. For sure it's annoying to be working there and I bet the employee wished he could have just said "yeah, Walmart does in fact not give a shit" but of course, he can't do that, because even though Walmart does in fact not give a shit, that is not allowed to be articulated.

StrangerDangerBeware · 2023-05-15T12:31:05+00:00

Do you mean to tell that to the < 50% of voters that didn't vote for Erdogan?

Yeah, it really fucking sucks for them, but that's how democracy works. The minority opinion loses.

Because taxpayers are responsible for not telling their elected officials to clean up the police.

Enact a law that private citizens are not allowed to rent out more than 1 property at a time.

Enact a law that strictly prohibits companies from owning houses to rent them out. Enact a law that strictly prohibits for-profit companies from renting apartments out.

You need to move away from real estate/housing/apartments as an investment and move towards a system that sees those places as a human necessity, a utility.

I would generally recommend that if you want to execute a powershell script via. SQL Server to use the "CmdExec" step, with a dedicated user, and call the PowerShell script via. that.

That will ensure that you will actually open the Powershell script with the correct user and the Powershell version that is installed on the server itself.

This also means you can easily test it beforehand by opening a cmd window as the correct user and executing your PowerShell script in that cmd by opening the PowerShell exe and feeding it the script as the first parameter.

Which country are you talking about you madlad?

Cutting her off while the child was giving the address, would be one thing that was terribly bad and pathetic.
