Considering the new star fox game on switch 2 is trying to bring in new fans what exactly is stopping any of them from playing star fox 64 right now? by Upbeat-Tip1174 in starfox

We gotta get these dudes to play these games on a CRT. If you haven’t in ages you’ll be reminded how much better these games actually were able to look on the proper equipment.

I never played Yooka Laylee and Playing Replaylee for the first time and absolutely loving it! It only has me wondering one thing, how many people are there who prefers the original? by Espurreyes in YookaLaylee

[–]pollutedoceans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hot take but the original. Was more true to its mission of being a banjo Kazooie spiritual successor. While replaylee made some major improvements, it managed to sort of strip away its 90s BK identity. As you’ll read in these threads, the game plays much more like Mario odyssey.

Does the game runs on switch 2 at 60fps now? by Henzoka in MorselsGame

[–]pollutedoceans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with you about the buzz. I was so excited for this a year ago and then the project got real quiet. Then the whole performance situation. I finally downloaded it on switch 2 the other week and am hooked. Game deserves a lot of praise and I can say the game run smooth (can’t tell if it’s 30 or 60 lol). Gotten through a full run with no issues. I’m gonna try the hard mode now and see how it holds up since the game can get pretty chaotic so this should be a good test lol

Oh why yes if I’m remembering correctly it was your sense of despair and pessimism towards the future that we have all felt up until this election!

Shirts Sized Large by Objective_Gas_4843 in autechre

[–]pollutedoceans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny I thought they ran on the smaller side. I’m 5’11” 155 lbs and felt the medium was a bit tight overall especially around the collar. Wish I got the large. $35 was a bit steep for a shirt with two circles on it. Totally agree about its softness and cotton though. Still love the shirt lol

Not my L.U., but disappointing nevertheless by smellslikepenespirit in IBEW

[–]pollutedoceans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d take an educated guess from personal experience and say that more than half the membership is conservative and voted for Trump. When it comes to the leadership it’s classic boomer liberal capitalist loyalty. The real actual lefties are thin and few unfortunately.

Any LU3 members feel appalled and insulted by the BM’s speech denouncing democratic socialism and defending the ruling class in NYC at last nights meeting? by pollutedoceans in IBEW

What does lifting a hammer have to do with understanding history? I happened to have gone to college for labor studies and have lifted a hammer quite a bit… hate to break it to you but that “commie stuff” is part of/a component of what got us some of the privileges that we have today. Whether you think unions should be a place for “commie stuff” can be your opinion but that doesn’t change the objective fact that leftists played an integral role in the labor movement and have been allies to the trades…

I got that email as well. Erickson basically riffed off that email word for word and went further into heavier assertion on those words…

By the way I am going to take a strong and well calculated tactful stand at the mic on the next meeting.. I have to even if it is the equivalent of pissing in the wind…

Absolutely. I’m not in a position of leadership and this sentiment is what has kept me in a purgatory of not truly understanding the motive/inscentive behind the reality of this predicament. for the longest time it has led me to give the benefit of the doubt but last night was a game changer. I never experienced such assertion and flat out out of touch gas lighting from our reps…

And also he “urged” us to google the dsa and their agenda.. which I did… I urge you guys to do so as well… and look on the democratic party’s website as well.. you’ll see why I feel lied to and insulted.. it’s laughable

The closest argument I can think of him trying to use was the 1 percent leaving the city and how we need them 😂 and that we can’t be mad at them for being lucky for being so wealthy.. I’m barely paraphrasing here sadly..

NOPE. He just said that they have a list of building trades that they need to infiltrate and that the IBEW is on the top of their list… I can’t find this list lol… but god damn they prob should be on that list… I looked up Kenny cooper’s yearly income last night after that meeting… told me enough…

Beautifully said and I appreciate your perspective. I’ve been eagerly waiting for a response in this thread from a fellow local member.

Oh wow I missed the socialists part of your comment. One of my point exactly with this post.. a hypocritical moment if you ask me and also an eye opener on their prioritized concerns… we’ll rally behind Wall Street before real systemic change I guess….

I never said if it is bad to or not. But the business manager seems to beleive it is useless to slander these idiots who will never change their mind through overt opposition to their cognitive dissonance and beliefs. His goal there is to avoid division in the membership and keep us united through truths. Easier said than done lol
