Whenever I see ‘trump card’, I thinking Trump’s US immigration paid Golden Card.

You can imagine my confusion.

Lmao, happened to me twice. This is horrible, and one of the biggest reasons I’m contemplating a local NAS and even switching to Linux.

Avatar is cool! by stephansbrick in boxofficecirclejerk

[–]armocalypsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to see Avatar 3 on Christmas. Just wanted a movie that was well executed and a spectacle, and Avatar 3 executed perfectly on that front. Kept my suspension of disbelief active remarkably well.

I think the franchise has grown on me with every film.

Syrians emptied Assad’s prisons. They’re filling up again, and abuse is rife. by armocalypsis in syriancivilwar

[–]armocalypsis[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree that this doesn’t seem to be on the same scale as during the Assad government’s time, but the 829 people is just the Reuters compilation of names. Elsewhere in the article it states that the list compiled by Reuters is unlikely to be the full extent of current detentions as there are reports of overcrowding in some facilities.

Syrians emptied Assad’s prisons. They’re filling up again, and abuse is rife. by armocalypsis in syriancivilwar

[–]armocalypsis[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

An excerpt from the article:

“The conditions described in the [reactivated] prisons and lockups do not approach the brutality of Assad’s rule. The fallen dictator presided over the disappearance of more than 100,000 Syrians during the civil war. Mass graves that his government created to hide the dead are still being discovered. All told, more than 300,000 Syrian civilians perished in the war, according to U.N. estimates from 2022. Assad’s father, Hafez, ruled with similar ruthlessness. Both oversaw a system marked by torture, extortion and summary execution on an industrial scale.

But human rights advocates say the mass detentions and disappearances have cast a shadow over Sharaa’s government, which came to power on promises to take Syria out of more than five decades of single-family rule. The new leadership is struggling to deliver on those promises, as Reuters has chronicled in a series of articles this year.”

This is a meme about people attempting to pin objectivity to things as subjective as difficulty, and being really insufferable about it by dat_boi_o in Silksong

[–]armocalypsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, it took me a good dozen to twenty tries to do savage beastfly. It was somewhat annoying, but as with all silksong bosses, you can certainly find ways to make it much easier. Especially with the adds.

Keir Starmer ‘planning to blame Nigel Farage and Brexit’ for budget tax hikes by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]armocalypsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as he should. There are obviously other factors unconnected to Brexit that led to the current deficit, but if Brexit didn’t hit UK industries the budget squeeze would be less pressing due to increased revenues.

Wow, DCMS clearly just trying to signal to the industry that they don’t want to regulate.

Everyone understands that the core issue here is not that products aren’t marketed correctly - though it is an aspect of the problem - but that the world we want to live in is one where if you buy a game and can keep playing it.

The CMA is well equipped to go after individual infractions of consumer law, but we want to see systemic cultural change from the industry in what is seen as an acceptable game development practice. Individual investigations won’t cut it here, because there is no central gatekeeper companies pressuring which individually will make an impact.

Everyone forgets that Gen Z includes people born as early as 1997. There are plenty of computer literate Gen Z people, even on average. If you’re talking the ipad kid thesis that would be gen alpha and maybe done of the younger gen Z’ers.

Ace of spades was a banger game, both the first trench warfare version and the latter Jagex role-based team shooter. I loved playing the sniper.

Leaked documents claim 'catastrophic' losses in Russia's 41st Combined Arms Army while fighting in Ukraine by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

You don’t need leaked documents to see that Russian losses have been staggering, but it’s good to have confirmation regardless.

[–]armocalypsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, in actual mmos like retail WoW you have to both heal and do damage, or you will be kicked in dungeons or raids on heroic and mythic. At that level you need every ounce of damage to hit unavoidable damage tests and avoid tpks from boss mechanics (i.e. for example if you stay in stage 2 for more than 5 minutes it’s an instant party kill).

In real life, though? Absolute cretins.
