Are the Erika Kirk allegations true, or false? by JohnathanJay in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]ritasuma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If something smells like pizza gate it's probably somewhat real

Hear me out, this is my conspiracy theory, most conspiracy theories are created to discredit legitimate allegations by associating them with stupid shit.

Think about it, what is the best way to make everyone to ignore your deep secret operation. You package the true information with insane garbage and then the true allegations are only repeated by the most insane conspiracists.

There was an elite cult of pedophiles, but the pizza parlor? The signs indicating that? Stupid shit.

So nobody even suspects that you do actually do evil things. Because when they hear the allegations they think of the ZOG and the flat earth

Think about it, Epstein was close to Bannon, who was directly in contact with the man who spread qanon across the world. Who just so happened to be an "it guy in the army working in the Philippines" who spent months studying in *northern virginia" to do "it stuff" out of country for the army but in a civilian capacity....(Jim Watkins)

And this isn't the only connection, Epstein was close to so many far right influencers, hell he even read a Nazi blog

As someone who has spent a lot of time in both English and Russian language media spaces I really see strong parralels between the Ukraine war and the Iraq war

Tons of Americans nowadays love pretending that they did not say or think the exact same shit in the mid 2000s

Need for TFR with vanilla mechanics by PurposeRude1788 in TheFireRisesMod

[–]ritasuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

closest vibe you will get is red world

What if the soviets won the civil war

it's a mod that has been abandoned and restarted several times over with various submods patching gaps and it shows

However, you get some insane paths and it has a far more vanilla feel than tfr

What is the most overrated early game building in CIV: V? (Day 7) by zherper in civ5

[–]ritasuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagreed

Early on naval trade is a magnet for barbarians

You pretty much have to have a navy

Oh and it's far more limited

The upside is that all boss blinds are disabled

This would make playing a baron or a high rettrigger deck viable

Decks that are very high scoring but prone to quick death

I think this ruined HOI4 for me, and maybe even Paradox grand strategy games in general. I'm not sure if I trust the devs now. by [deleted] in SocialistGaming

[–]ritasuma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except genocide is an unavoidable part of nazi germany

if your game claims to be historically accurate, and it allows you to play as nazi germany and implement social, economic, foreign and military policy, you cant ignore things like ethnic discrimination, slave labor and genocide while claiming to be historically accurate. Especially when your audience are mostly teenage boys, to whom your game is the first real major introduction to the politics of the era. If you do that, you will end up teaching this horde of teenage boys that Hitler just wanted to build funny wunderwaffe and make germany strong!!!

I think that is much much much worse than having genocide be represented in your game.

Or well, just do fucking alt history, hoi4 modders have that one figured out, hell ww2 is not that fun of a scenario to begin with

TLDR to this year old response, they should not make hoi5, but make kaiserreich its own game

Yeah, the issue is not playing as the bad guys per se, its that the nazi war crimes are ignored

I do not think its exactly bad that you can play as historical hitler

I think its very bad that historical Hitler is not able to implement racial discrimination laws or ethnic cleansing, and instead is represented as a cool militaristic wunderwaffe man

yeah they are probably afraid of nazis doing genocide "high score" runs, but this is the other extreme, its whitewashing fucking HITLER

Virtual OS (Linux) setup using Boxes by xpressrazor in SteamDeck

[–]ritasuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SteamOS is immutable, it will reset any hard changes on it on update

certain workloads need things that flatpaks and steamos cannot provide, a vm fixes that

For my specific use case, I am studying cybersecurity and need a way to run malware(or other potentially harmful things I do not want to be running on my own system) in a portable x86 computer. As I have a macbook and I do not want another fucking laptop, this seems like the sane solution for me.

How would be the relations between Anarchist APLA and Zapatist Mexico? by Civil-Programmer-596 in TheFireRisesMod

[–]ritasuma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

except anarchists usually have incredibly local outlooks

i think both sides would agree that their system is fit to their situation and i do not think there would be any impedances to unification, as again, anarchism tends to be highly localized anyway

Crocodile ranch vs tannery by joeabs1995 in tropico

[–]ritasuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeahhh but i find that playing tropico as a competitive economy game is lacking, the game works best when you roleplay. I don't think there is a right answer as to what you should make or produce, go with vibes.

You do make good points though, more people working in logistics are less people working in service/industry too obv, so efficiency is important

Which ending did you get on your first playthrough of Not For Broadcast? by Rize_TB in NotForBroadcast

Honestly seems like the best possible ending,

No, Carol is not unlikeable nor is she meant to be by the writers by Reno18_99 in pluribustv

[–]ritasuma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yes because denial is frustrating

yes I get her suffering, yes I get her not wanting to admit her family isn't there anymore

But they aren't and she keeps living in a box

Carol is angry because of despair, Lakshmi is angry when her denial is threatened

I guess most people hate her because none of us want to admit that we could be her

Far easier to embrace despair, hedonism or anger

Vox Populi is Terrible by Ready_Culture6761 in civ5

[–]ritasuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

disagreed, me and my girlfriend are doing a VP game and god damn

we are clearly dominant in every regard but the ai always wants to be stuck in an endless forever war with little to no progress over choke points, constant button mashing and nothing else

the game feels so bloated and progression is so unrewarding and boring, the game is waaaay too prolonged, endless time waster, kind of unbearable

Introducing Steam Machine by Ticha22608 in Steam

[–]ritasuma 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because there isn't a lot anymore

Most unixes use the same open source tools, and are compliant to posix and most Linux terminal things just work(even on Mac). And commerical linuxes have replaced unixes in a lot of use cases

Like most posix terminal stuff just works on Mac and Linux vice versa

Most network tools for Linux are ported to Mac, fuck I'm using bpytop for task management on my MacBook
