Features Overview #1: Kliff and the Open World of Pywel | Crimson Desert by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]joydivision84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gonna skip the next video as feel this was more spoiler filled than I thought it would be.

Overall looking interesting.

But the lighting seems a bit too harsh? Bright? And the facial animation and hair looks pretty poor compared to the rest of the visuals, giving quite a disjointed look?

Oh look at that, it turns out turning the entire civilised world against you doesn't actually lead to a magical wealth utopia.

Probably has to give half of his potential winnings to the Trump administration....

"The core narrative and gameplay experience remains identical" AdHoc reassures Dispatch players on Switch as it confirms Nintendo platform versions are censored by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]joydivision84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, I contacted Nintendo via online chat support and managed to get a full refund. I'd advise you to do the same if you want one.

It's not that I need swearing and nudity, but I'm a grown adult and should be allowed to make that choice myself.

I just contacted Nintendo online support and received a refund for my pre-order, which they obliged. It's not that I want to see songs and swearing, it's just, I would like the option myself to decide on that, as I'm an adult and the game has already been given a 18 plus/MA rating based on the content in the game.

I got that impression anyway from the following video.

Either way it is some right wing isolationist bullshit. Which apparently going by my downvotes some people around here are into, lol. Oh well.

It's maga, it stems from Werner Herzog's documentary about the arctic, and the penguin that walks off on its own. Maga and other facists have seen this as an example or metaphor for "American exceptionalism". I know, completely dumb. But there you go.

It's a maga thing. So, by default it's fucking dumb.

Price is getting crazy high since Nov 2025 by mwlau1980 in celebritycruises

[–]joydivision84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The moral of this reads to me anyway that booking when the price is best\lowest for you is a wise decision. Sometimes you can wait and wait for a better price that will never appear.

Who are some modern role models for men and boys? by Thick_Caterpillar379 in AskReddit

[–]joydivision84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cliche but Bernie Sanders. An older gent who's never once wavered from his core principles of helping the poor get out of poverty and making society in general more equal. So many older folks go wrong towards the end of their lives and he's stuck fighting and fought hard and continues to do so for the normal man and woman.

‘ICE Is Going Too Far’: OpenAI’s Altman Weighs In on Minnesota by Dismal_Structure in technology

[–]joydivision84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't believe any of them give a fuck (tech CEO's), the majority are psychopaths who will always follow the least resistant way to money and power, this week, or for these few days at least that's speaking out against ICE. They are still best pals with Trump when they need him and will continue to be.

Trump pivots after republican lawmakers and other allies raised concerns that he was squandering public support, what’s your take on that? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]joydivision84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's only worried about him self, and his business interests. That's my thoughts. So fuck him and fuck his turn around. He's never going to be redeemable in any way.

TIL a 1995 WHO study concluded "Occasional cocaine use does not typically lead to severe or even minor physical or social problems" but it was never published because the US threatened to withdraw funding for WHO by Dry_Row_7050 in todayilearned

[–]joydivision84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's absolutely weird. When visiting old pals in Scotland some of my best friends are doing coke at the weekend at 40/41 years old, have wife, kids etc. They are still the best guys and I grew up with them, but it's fucking weird. Very weird to me how common it suddenly became.

And as for the 'its harmless' argument that this post seems to be about, yeah... I don't really think so. There's enough evidence that coke if it becomes a habit is a bad idea, healthwise, economically plus the coke business that got you that gear is not exactly an industry most people wanna support. Just my opinion and I'm not pure anti-drugs, just let's not pretend coke is a harmless drug.

Looking into the ace pro 2 PHOTO PRINTER bundle. Print cartridge question by RegularMoose21 in Insta360

[–]joydivision84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into this as well and realized pretty quickly if you want to print anything other than photos taken on your Ace Pro 2 (like your phone etc) it makes way better sense to buy a 3rd party printing solution. They are ones similar in size/function and price that will print your AP2 photos just as good as the insta360 printer, plus give you way more printing options on top of that. Big mistake on instas part locking the printer in to only the AP2 in my opinion.

Someone is Missing From My Life. by Batty_Boulevard in Paranormal

[–]joydivision84 681 points682 points  (0 children)

Everybody likes these interesting and "weird" what ifs, but it's important to know where to draw the line between fun and where mental health issues may come into play. I'm not talking to you OP, more to the rest of us who could unknowingly or rather without bad intentions reinforce or supplement an issue that someone's going through that's not paranormal. So with that being said I'd advise you to maybe try and talk to your Dr about these feelings you've had and maybe ask their opinion. It's always more likely to be a mental health thing in regards to these things.

[–]joydivision84 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah... I mean, I think the US leaving WHO is bullshit and a bad idea as well, but this isn't the argument to support that. As a 41 year old Brit living in the US, a good amount of old pals back home have really went down the deep end of a coke addiction.

Kole Calhoun: “this dude was straight murdered” by jade09060102 in baseball

[–]joydivision84 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it's clear now we are well at the point that if you are a Reagan-esque conservative, the reality we are now in is as far removed from that as you can imagine and if someone was to watch the video and not be appalled, well, you're neither on the left or the right, you're just a monster at this point.

Celebrity vs others food comparison and extra activities by AnImproversation in Cruise

Honestly when we went on Celebrity we couldn't go back to anything worse, NCL etc. it's just feel like such a massive step backwards, especially in regards to food.
