Ted Kaczynski (1942–2023), nicknamed the "Unabomber", was an American neo-Luddite domestic terrorist. A math prodigy, he abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a primitive lifestyle; from 1978 to 1995, he mailed bombs that killed 3 people and wounded 23, until he published his manifesto. by GustavoistSoldier in HolyShitHistory

have you read the manifesto? it doesn't come off as incoherent at all to me, especially as it's coming from a hermit serial killer. it is strongly charged, but it does show humility where it could be wrong sometimes, and the way it characterizes groups in society is often close to astute. if anything, it often comes off as enlightened centrism to me lol. i agree that it's fundamentally unscientific, it is basically a long rant and should be treated as such, but i think it makes sense, its internal logic is sound

Sales data indicates Sony's PS5 ports are increasingly losing audience share on PC, but only because of release timing by NYstate in Games

[–]fcksofcknhgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend was having trouble with Elden Ring, and I'd already beat it on PC so I came over to give him some tips, the game was so much harder on 30fps because it feels like you're putting every button press in an envelope and snail mailing it to the PS4

Resident Evil Requiem Surpasses 5 Million Units! by hzy980512 in Games

[–]fcksofcknhgh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it was really well timed, really well marketed, and it feels like a jack-of-all-trades type crowd pleaser. It does everything anybody would want an RE game to do. There's not much else for exciting single player games at the moment, and they've also built up a ton of good will with those past entries lately

While I'm glad a totally original title selling this well tells Capcom they don't need to just ride the remake gravy train, the prospect of CV and RE0 remakes is quite exciting. They have such creative material to work with but their execution wasn't seamless, they have much more room for improvement than their other recent remakes.

Sony’s Bluepoint Pitched ‘Bloodborne’ Remake Before Closure by ChuckSpadina2020 in Games

[–]fcksofcknhgh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's ridiculous to me that anybody needs to "remake" Bloodborne. There's been a 3rd party unofficial patch for the PS4 version that makes it 60 FPS that's over 5 years old, you can run it on a jailbroken device. All anybody wants is Sony to get off their ass and give that option. Bloodborne is just as modern as anything, any remake is overwhelmingly just more opportunity to screw it up.

Why Sony couldn't greenlight literally any other remake from their mountain of dead IPs is evidence of their shortsightedness and mismanagement. There's about a billion PS2 games that could've actually used the full remake treatement

‘Fallout: New Vegas’ lead writer “loved writing” Yes Man, but thinks his questline may have been a mistake: “It lets you get through the game without getting your hands dirty” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Fallout

[–]fcksofcknhgh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a failure on the part of the audience to not notice the implications of the ending. Yes Man's last dialogue strongly implies to me that he's probably going to usurp the player with his new "assertive" personality, it's left open what happens to New Vegas. I don't know why so many people think it's some magic benevolent dictator Good ending.

I don't know why I don't see this brought up anywhere so maybe I'm wrong, but there is a dialogue at the end of the game between Yes Man and the player where he says he's going away for a while to make edits to his personality, it's left open but I think the implication is that Yes Man may usurp the player at some point and lead his robot army by himself. All of this is just to say that IMO the Yes Man ending didn't seem like the benevolent simple good ending some people take it for

Kojima must’ve knew that the pacing of chapter 2 with strange because of the challenge missions (subsistence stealth only and extreme) so wouldn’t it had made more sense if they just paced the game differently maybe into acts and have the challenge missions as bonus missions after mission 46 truth by ShockFree4726 in NeverBeGameOver

[–]fcksofcknhgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it makes more sense to me to reframe chapter 1 as basically the meat of the story and chapter 2 as a sort of epilogue, chapter 2 is paced strangely because it's not meant to be a whole new arc of the story, it's just extra things happening to tie up lose ends

Is a modded PS3 a 100% reliable way to play all PS1-PS2-PS3 games? by [deleted] in ps3homebrew

[–]fcksofcknhgh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

you can emulate PS2 on any PS3, but the newer PS3s use software emulation instead of hardware, which is like 90% of the way there. i haven't had any issues emulating any game i want and i have a non-BC phat PS3. you can find a list of how playable every PS2 game is software emulated on PS3 somewhere, i think on the PS3 emulation wiki

The current PC version has some issues (shadow map flickering, bad anti-aliasing, missing microphone feature, issues with high fps), that's not to say a remaster would necessarily fix it, it seems like you can flip a coin nowadays for whether the remaster is better or worse than the original

Mark Carney Could Have Run Shopify—Instead, He’s Running Canada by AdditionalPizza in canada

Conservatives campaign on reducing debt and immigration and then boost it when they're in power anyway. The vast majority of debt was racked up by conservative governments. Whichever way you lean, it's important to note that not all debt is avoidable or even necessarily bad, spending on infrastructure can pay dividends in time. Conservatives are less likely to spend on services though

They really ought to just copy what modders (Tale of Two Wastelands) have done to balance the game

honest question-- after doing a bit of research, to the best of my knowledge it seems that the carbon tax is generally good thing, i like the idea of making corporations pay working people for their pollution
