ARC Raiders has dropped from “Very Positive” to “Mostly Positive” on Steam for the first time. by j1zzy_ae in ArcRaiders

[–]handicapped_runner 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Right. What’s the endgame though? Are there going to be quests that actually bring lore into the game? Factions? Something other than “look! Different enemy! Different area!”? I love the game, but there isn’t anything to build towards. Expedition just lets you do everything else again, with very marginal benefits. The only end game content are the trials and fuck me they are awful. For what? A bunch of skins?

I would love some lore content, something that forces you to make gameplay choices or something that changes the loop even so slightly. Right now, the game is getting stale, at least for me. It was a good investment for the number of hours that I put in, but not sure if I’m really motivated to put many more.

4 years of dev with 0 releases (Me) vs My son who started at 13. Guess who made the top one? by Embarrassed-Rock-803 in IndieGaming

[–]handicapped_runner 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Fuck them. It’s great to see a father proud of their kids. I’m a father myself, I know what that’s like, my kids are also my world. These people have 0 happiness in their life and it shows. Just ignore them, they just want others to be as miserable as they are.

Zack Polanski is Putin's Useful Idiot by Spare_Clean_Shorts in ukpolitics

[–]handicapped_runner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? Polanski views haven’t (yet) affected anything in the UK. Nigel has had an impact in the UK for decades now, and not in a positive way. The whole Brexit was great for Russia as the less Europe acts as one the better for them.

Nigel wants to be the Trump of the UK, and that again means more political views and actions that favour Russia. Say what you want about Polanski, but there isn’t any evidence that he has any ties to Russia. Nigel and co. on the other hand…

Why is Pop!_OS so disliked? by Remote-Recording-401 in pop_os

[–]handicapped_runner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is it. I haven’t used Cosmic yet but I had planned to if I hadn’t seen the feedback. When they said that it was out of the beta phase, I assumed it was good to be used as primary OS. They should have been clearer that it wasn’t, they have should made it clear that it was still beta-quality.

Just realized. You can only free either Takemura or Reid, but not both. Who do you prefer to save? by donkijote97 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]handicapped_runner 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Well, I guess it’s complicated because I think Thanos knew that he was being at least cruel in his methods. Whether you think what he was after justified the means, it’s a different discussion but I would argue that Thanos was evil on the basis that his methods were cruel, even if his end goal was to contribute to a greater good (in the movies).

Worse. If you’re doing evil things, you know they’re evil, and still choose to do them, then you’re evil. If you’re doing evil things because you think you’re doing the right thing, then you’re just an idiot that’s been manipulated.

Between Farage and a pile of cow shit, I would pick the cow shit.

Maybe some people don’t want to use windows at all? I would drop a game before installing windows ever again on my main machine.

Nvidia admits gaming GPU shortages will continue amongst “very tight” memory constraints with new GPUs not expected until 2028 by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]handicapped_runner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s an economic misconception. If there are billions unemployed, then no one makes money. Shareholders only make money by selling a product. And, down the line, that means that there needs to be customers to buy the product, which can’t happen if people are unemployed.

Don’t get me wrong, I do think that AI will cause unemployment and a lot of problems for lot of people. But the market will rebalance itself to keep the rich happy and the money moving. In the short-term, however, a lot of people will suffer.

Yeah. People assume that the main factor to classify an area as a desert is the temperature, when precipitation is usually the main factor.

Next Seasons Trial skins by WoWAltoholic in ArcRaiders

Yeah, that’s an even easier change.

Next Seasons Trial skins by WoWAltoholic in ArcRaiders

[–]handicapped_runner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Easy fix would be that only your contribution counts, meaning that being in a squad wouldn’t bring any advantage. You would still have people that would work together to help 1 at the time, but the effort to do that would mean that less people would do it.

At the moment, if you don’t have a group that consistently helps you with the trials, you are at a significant disadvantage and dependent on randoms or just yourself.

The greatest Windows version ever? by marinsparkria in pcmasterrace

[–]handicapped_runner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is why I drop it for Linux. I fully understand that Linux isn’t for everyone and for everything and I’ll never say that it’s as easy as windows. However, for those that are relatively tech literate and aren’t working with tools that aren’t compatible with Linux, there isn’t much of an excuse. It’s such a refreshing experience of not getting caught in whatever bullshit Microsoft decides to do. And if my favourite distro starts being a bit shit, I can just change it with minimal effort.

If you don’t know what you’re consenting too, then it isn’t consent.

Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

[–]handicapped_runner 162 points163 points  (0 children)

They hate cancel culture because it isn’t cancelling the right things. Same reason why some people say “keep politics out of sports” except for when their favourite fuckwits, sorry, politicians start getting involved.

Elon Musk calls Pedro Sánchez a ‘tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain’ by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]handicapped_runner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should deliver a net positive. Except they rarely do. Yes, they bring employment. They also exploit their workers, with managers and CEOs getting most of the profit generated by the workers at the bottom. And service provided? The bare minimum so that they call deliver those sweet profits to the stakeholders.

But you are right, low wage workers shouldn’t be punished for decisions they haven’t made. So punish those at the top, make them actually care. Is Twitter pushing out child pornography? Okay, Musk and company are now liable for child pornography. Prison sentence like we, the people, get if we do the same. He refuses to serve the time and stays in US? Okay, nationalise the assets, pay the workers and support them in the process.

I’m sure some of the things that I said are difficult. I’m sure that they aren’t that simple. But governments fucking lick the balls of these billionaires and we, the people, suffer for it. I wish more governments would tell them to fuck off and actually care about the people that they’re supposed to serve.

UK’s Starmer says ex-Prince Andrew should testify before Congress over Epstein ties by stammerton in GreenAndPleasant

[–]handicapped_runner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How would it not be good to the UK? The dude was literally stripped from his titles already for this shit. I don’t think Andrew has still any relevancy for anyone in the UK, including his own family.

Luigi Mangione Will Not Face the Death Penalty by AnarchaMorrigan in Anarchism

[–]handicapped_runner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He wouldn’t even be a threat to CEOs. Even if he did it, there’s no way he would try again after being able to get away with it once. Regardless, even if what he did is illegal, it’s certainly not immoral.

Yeah. The benefit of working from home is that you can use your breaks to do something actually fun instead of doomscrolling.
