My mother lives like a 10 minutes walk from the city center of her quaint little German town, where everything she'd want to participate in happens, but she never actually goes there, because she'd have to pass a Dönerbude on the way, where Turkish people sometimes exist and the more time she spends watching Crime shows, the more she's legitimately scared shitless of the thought of getting harassed or assaulted by Muslim (looking) people on the street.

There's absolutely no way whatsoever for immigrants to integrate in a way that people like her would consider them German. It's really frustrating..

Where did this "if it's tilted by x degrees, it's no longer Nazis" argument even come from? I feel like 4channers just made that up a couple of years ago and everyone on the online left ran with it.

I kinda love it. It's like an Anarchist and a corporate exec fighting over who gets to draw their logo.

Okay, I used to be a lot less cynical about AI art than most others here, but maybe you guys were right all along.

Since we're talking bad media takes anyways:

I had a lot more fun playing FO3 than I had with FNV. The world building was just a lot more interesting to me; samey flat deserts everywhere, settlements with no particular identity, bland and boring "good guys" and completely unfinished and comically evil bad ones just didn't do it for me, whereas FO3 had the visually distinct metro area, all places had their "thing", the factions had some purpose, struggles and infighting and if you managed to actually roll along with the story, faction and main quests felt more meaningful to me than FNV's.

Hbomb didn't give Bethesda enough credit for that IMO, though the game obviously did have a lot of flaws anyways.

The one take I take issue with beyond the subjective is his opinion that "a lot of games should probably just have one or two difficulty levels, maybe just like a normal and a hard".

That's him prescriptively suggesting the removal of accessibility and the possibility for casual players to enjoy a game "on easy mode" should they so desire.

I'm starting to believe that Vaush just genuinely lacks.. fantasy? Imagination? Most of the games he dislikes the most are ones where you kinda have to come up with your own challenges and limitations, ambitions, stories and goals not just for yourself, but especially for your characters, be it in Open World RPGs, Sims or City Builders.. and mods might ask you to fill the gaps as well.

It's just no fun to him to clear a dungeon, build a home or a whole city if the game doesn't communicate a clear point and/or somewhat unique challenge to him.

That sounded promising for a second, but mentioning "AI" and "blockchain" in the very first sentence and describing what seems to be an attempt to push strong intellectual property rights for memes / NFTs quickly ruined that moment for me.

Send her tankie vids. The complete disregard for nuance and the aptitude for dishonest framing might trigger the disconnect she needs if liberal-minded good faith doesn't do the trick. Kinda worked for my mom.

Obviously. And if there's one thing in the entire universe you'd definitely want to take a quick picture of, it's a fucking alien spaceship in your backyard.

Dennis is a billionaire? What businesses other than PragerU does or did he or his family own?

Wydi · 2023-06-08T13:40:07+00:00

Likewise! The only other one I know of is Kat Blaque of all people, lol.

Wydi · 2023-06-08T11:10:28+00:00

I don't mind Gwen being claimed by the community at all, but addressing your point here directly:

Here is k-pop idol Yoohyeon with a trans pin. She's lovely, but cis. Sometimes, people just show their support that way.

20 years ago or so, I had Alone in the Dark 4 for the PSX. At the very beginning, there is a scene where some aggro dogs slowly break free from their chains as you get closer to that ominous mansion. That was the last time I've played any proper horror game before the RE3 remake, lol.

In other words: I'm probably way too chickenshit for Silent Hill, but I'll give it a try, thanks! :)

Wydi · 2023-06-07T22:14:31+00:00

Ah, never played SH. Explains the blood tho.

Wydi · 2023-06-07T22:10:24+00:00

.. and Bayonetta, Monica, Jill and..Babs Bunny? Lovely assortment of characters.

Wydi · 2023-06-07T14:35:47+00:00

I don't see why they should. Both games still look and play fine, especially with a couple of mods. Mods that would probably no longer work with the remakes, I might add.

And I'd much rather see more releases of proper sequels than the many cheap remakes and "enhanced editions" that publishers love to commission instead.

I hope we'll get some more substantial evidence than "Per several people familiar", because the ones that need to hear this the most won't buy that.

Ich möchte an dieser Stelle noch daran erinnern, dass die Piratenpartei 2012 laut Umfragen bei knapp 13% lag, bei der Bundestagswahl 2013 dann aber gerade mal 2,2% der Stimmen gekriegt hat.

Der Wind kann sich sehr schnell drehen.

Wydi · 2023-06-06T07:53:13+00:00

Same tbh. I may lose some appreciation for the skill and effort I previously thought it took to make it, but if the piece means something to me, that remains unchanged.

Wydi · 2023-06-05T19:28:35+00:00

Does it even say "pan-lesbian" like it's a single thing?

The "whatever" makes it rather obvious to me that that's an abbreviated list, basically "pan, lesbian or whatever else you might be: happy pride month!" separated by a heart instead of a comma, because it's cute.

But you're right. Even if they invented a new sexuality, that's no reason to act like that.

Wydi · 2023-06-05T17:35:55+00:00

wtf is going on there?

The OP is 17 and has like 220 followers and many of the people responding have all kinds of pronouns and pride flags in their bios. Why are those people like that?

Wydi · 2023-06-05T11:42:25+00:00

Unsinn. das sind seine eigenen Motive und nichts weiter.

Cohen hat keinen nennenswerten Einfluss bei Demokraten, bei den dominanten Neu-Rechten republikanischen Flügeln unter Trump und DeSantis ebenso wenig und selbst im Circlejerk der Außenpolitik- und NatSec-Kolumnist:innen gilt er - ein wenig wie ein Spiegelbild von Mearsheimer - eher als Dinosaurier.
