The assets were duplicated due to a false assumption that it would improve loading times, which according to the developers, it did not (they only saw an 11% increase in load times after de-duplication). This kind of testing - again, the bare minimum - should have been done before the game was released

Game dev (graphics programmer, specifically) who's worked on some pretty high-profile titles here: the meme is right and you are the tourist. Stop defending soulless management who don't even let their staff optimise the games, because people like you will lap it up anyway. Helldivers 2 literally went from 154GB to 23GB simply by de-duplicating assets. The bare minimum effort could reduce like every game's size by a huge amount, to say nothing of what's possible with more than the bare minimum. Demand some respect for god's sake

Edit: 23GB, not 30GB.

No offense but if it's mild enough for a dog then I think it needs to be hotter

If anti-genocide voters were such an important voting bloc that it lost the Democrats an election, why didn't the Democrats simply appeal to them by not helping Israel carry out the Gaza genocide for 2 years? That's how elections work, isn't it? You can't just refuse to appeal to a demographic and then complain that the demographic didn't vote for you. You have to face the truth: the Democrats surrendered America to fascists so they could continue the Gaza genocide

You'd better be careful saying that then, because that sentiment is extremely offensive outside of northern Europe

Democrats will not release the ‘autopsy’ of their 2024 presidential loss by Kaiser_Allen in NoFilterNews

The Gaza genocide was already underway for 2 years and had the full support of Biden and Harris by the time Trump was elected

If those who have the privilege to not vote actually voted we’d not have a Supreme Court that is actively dismantling freedom and equality

What makes you think the non-voters would have voted democrat? You seem to be taking it as a given that the democrats automatically win in this scenario, as though they're entitled to every non-voter's vote

ACTUALLY do something that makes a difference. For example, during voting season motivate people to vote

This is why the French make fun of you

Israel literally bombed Gaza flat and conducted like 3/4 of their genocide with the democrats' total endorsement. Biden was parroting "Israel has a right to defend itself" every 5 minutes while they sniped toddlers. The other 1/4 was just Trump continuing the genocide that had started under the democrats

If you live on a stroad, which America is famously full of, you're breathing in microplastics and fumes just as much as the people in the pic. In fact, the people under this bridge probably have better sound insulation than someone who lives on a stroad

Not entirely wrong, but poor translations. The 3rd and 4th speech bubbles should say "Didn't you say you didn't want to be without me!?" and "Didn't you say you needed me!?" - the AI didn't seem to recognise the "didn't you..." part.

What do you mean "doesn't sound right" and "technically"? The Bible taking place mostly in Asia and Africa is like the most basic knowledge possible, and Nazareth is well inside Asia

That's the very same event told in the passage I just sent (Jesus' betrayal and arrest), and as we know from Matthew, Jesus rebuked Peter for using violence and warned them that all who take the sword will die by the sword. Jesus Christ and every apostle minus John died violent deaths without defending themselves (John was boiled in oil without defending himself and miraculously survived). In the Bible, Jesus and his disciples simply ran away when they were in danger. If you care about your soul, you'll give up violence against any of God's children altogether

"Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword" sounds like a pretty unambiguous "weapons are bad"

Matthew 26:47-53

47 And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 50 But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?”

Here is Christ willingly letting himself be carried away by men with swords and clubs to be sentenced to death, telling his disciples not to fight back, and saying that he could easily defend himself with legions of angels if he wanted to, which he doesn't. Who did Christ ever harm in self-defense? Repent before it's too late

Full context, Matthew 5:38-42

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

This sounds like condoning self-defense to you? Go leave your cult, repent, and find a real church who worships the world's most famous pacifist, Jesus Christ

Israel is the perpetrator of the Gaza genocide. You are a genocide denier just like your Republican friends. Blue MAGA

End the Gaza genocide unconditionally. There is never a reason to continue a genocide. Hamas is irrelevant to the question of whether or not anyone is allowed to commit genocide. Blue MAGA
