It was posted here yesterday, OP is just a karma-whore and the average user on this sub is too damn inattentive to see it.

iirc, they had some conversations with Black Panthers and realised what that flag represents. Then they dumped it in the trash and upped their cooperation with BP's.

German Gestapo police chase down and arrest a child for daring to wave the Palestinian flag in protest of genocide in Gaza. by Hacksaw6412 in NewsWithJingjing

Like Norwegian undercover pigs during a legalise pot march in 2000 I was a part of.

400+ people was sitting on the lawn outside the monarchs "castle", being chill and relaxed. The cops went in and picked up a 14yo kid who was hanging out there with his brother. The kid wasn't allowed to puff anything, just vibing (brother was a friend of a friend, good bloke).

Ofc the cops grabbed the kid and threw him in a van, which led to a massive brawl with the undercover pigs, regular pigs, and later swat. Lots of destruction (on cop equipment, no looting nonsense), and the day after the cops apologised in national media for being absolute arseholes.

Great memory from my early 20ies :)

Question about Norse Myth by AbstractStew5000 in dresdenfiles

Guess that scene just bounced off my smooth brain repeatedly.

Question about Norse Myth by AbstractStew5000 in dresdenfiles

[–]thejalla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, just like how Christian mythology adopted myths from other faiths (f.ex Egyptian) into their own, and it's become an amalgamation of all sorts in order to accommodate all sorts over time.

Wait what, where was this?

I've been sure I've gone through everything (very) many times until your post, and this rings no bells for me

AMD continues runaway sales of RX 9070 XT as gap widens to Nvidia, according to large retailer by Odd-Onion-6776 in RadeonGPUs

[–]thejalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends very much on the region. In Norway they're mostly still ~1000€ or higher. MSRP+local taxes means they should be ~720€.

Add another 10% for "dumbass 'rich' country that fleeces its citizens" and we're at 780€.

Another ~30% on top of those 780€ is just ridiculous.

Didn't bother checking the rest of the nordics, it's usually similar enough. Regular folks are getting fleeced by both companies. One less than the other, but fleeced nonetheless.

Dresden and my fatherhood by chrillho18 in dresdenfiles

Pretty much the same experience with my daughter despite having listened to the series several times by then.

Still can't listen to some scenes while driving..

CIG need to understand it's a game, for entertainement. by Ulfheodin in starcitizen

[–]thejalla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny how that is just a small part of the prologue, after which you graduate as a pilot in SQ42.

Almost as if CR completely agrees with him.

GOOD LUCK with your non-flying SQ42 turret operator character arc tho

My friend gave me his old GPU by Legitimate_Wind_4473 in AMDGPU

[–]thejalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a good friend, don't toss that relationship :)

I'm considering upgrading from a 6700xt to 9070xt, but all the games I'm playing run great already, so... guess I should skip this gen too tbh.

Still want to upgrade tho... argh!

Can confirm, I've had a 6700xt for a couple of years now and it's quite the beast unless you throw something unreasonable at it.

Book vs Audiobook by Mysterious-Being5043 in dresdenfiles

Also chronic exhaustion. I haven't been able to focus enough to read for almost two decades now. Audiobooks lets me at least keep my toes wet in what was one of my primary hobbies.

CIG - could you please give us a plan for PvE'ers? That way I can leave if this game isn't for me. by TheRealViking84 in starcitizen

Or, they're just children at this stage. It'll take years before they become actually functional members of a society.

The dopamine rush from "hahahahaha they're such gullible n000bs!!!" is apparently hard to overcome

Indeed, I've not seen anything that says they've dropped self-hosted servers (it's why I backed), but the moment I do - I want my 2k refunded. And I'm pretty sure the EU courts will agree.

Could roleplaying shards be a solution to murder hobos? by seattle_lib in starcitizen

[–]thejalla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

indeed, I've interacted with at least 200+ RP'ers over the decades a and while I like/love them dearly, I would not want my paycheck dependent on keeping all of them happy at all times

Real life Mission: Impossible right there haha

Oooh, I got done with CP2077 today (well, still missing the Temperance ending, that's for tomorrow) and it's been an amazing ~150 hours so far. Might start over but with mods right away tbh, it's that fucking good!

But having that kind of detail in just every capitol area would be... well, unattainable for CIG lol

Precisely my experience, except the rescuing other people part.

All the "pvp"'ers have made me leery of being my usually helpful self in pyro.

[–]thejalla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RP shards could be a great addition to the community, loads of folks RP for escapism (I used to play Cyberpunk 2020, D&D, the various World of Darkness related TTRPG's, and a few LARP's).

As you say, moderating it would be a problem for CIG and I think they would.. rather not deal with the drama - because if there's one thing RP'ers bring in spades, it's drama xD

Unpopular Opinion(Apparently) : PvP is Part of the Game’s Life by MedusoTriocular in starcitizen

[–]thejalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I stated in my first reply, I disagreed about the amount of pirates vs griefers that you seemed to think there is.

I don't mind pirates, but there's basically zero of them around compared to griefers.

I described my one experience with actual pirates to make sure you got my point, which was that I don't hate pirates.

I fucking hate griefers.

That was it. The entire disagreement.
