Damn americans! They can’t be ever pleased. First time a president does exactly what he promises and everyone is losing their minds as if he was being a dictator…

/s

Considering the amount of people that either voted trump or not voted at all, I’d say that there’s a portion of americans lying.

Nah, he’s cutting corners in bomb detecting dogs, it’s gonna be a Carrero Blanco 2 electric boogaloo

I thought that we already established that in Magastan “illegal” is only for poor people.

Guys, if you live in Magastan, talk to your doctors, ask them to give you any shot they can of anything that needs a booster over time (or that you miss) and do it ASAP. If a new pandemic from a new virus comes, you’ll be fucked, but at least you won’t be if what you suffer is an epidemic of a fucking preventable disease.

Pity they released him so fast. Idiots like this are part of the reason the whole world is now suffering the turd presidency, so no amount of schadenfraude will be enough when it comes to them.

Well, unless you have a way to check that every single user on the internet is not a velociraptor, it’s not a given.

I just like being clear about myself.

(It’s also very annoying when people keep calling you velociraptor just because they saw jurassic park and think they know how a velociraptor looks like)

“In free countries, like the United States is, leaders don’t get to pick who covers them day in and day out”

I love how lately, we need to clarify that the US is a free country, as if it wasn’t a given.

Well, you are assuming a lot of things I haven’t said there.

First of all, I said that in the AAA world, original games are rare. They exist, but they are rare. And there’s a reason: an AAA game is made by a company that has a stakeholders board deciding what has to be done and what not (which is the reason why people say BG3 is not an AAA game but an indie). Since those boards want their money and only that, they don’t care about innovation or anything else.

This doesn’t mean that AAA companies don’t make original games, it only means that they rarely experiment and tend to focus on already succesful formulas.

Second, I never said that AAA games are just “big games I don’t like”. As I said, sometimes they do good games. But seriously, how many times have you seen an AAA company take a serious risk in what they do?

Also, I don’t think it’s just the usual three. I think GTA is doing the same. What are they gonna do with 6? Just GTA V but bigger. That’s exactly what I mean when I say that they don’t innovate.

For the record, an AAA game is a game with a big budget from a big studio. I think everyone can agree that an Assassin’s Creed is an AAA game while shovel knight isn’t.

I agree with the sentiment. People think that non 3d graphics should be cheap because they don’t understand the amount of work that can go behind them.

Take chained echoes or sea of stars, two modern pixel jrpgs with “premium” prices. If someone thinks those games shouldn’t cost their full price, they are out of their minds.

Same with shovel knight. I bought the treasure trove and the amount of fun it has give to me puts so many 80€ games to shame.

That’s the problem with many modern AAA games. They lack innovation. Since they only look to maximize profits, they stick to reliable formulas that are known to be profitable.

This is the reason why I only play indies nowadays. How many AAA studios have new ideas? Sure, we see, every now and then, a new game that really feels new, but they are rare. Meanwhile, the indie sphere cooks new things constantly. Sure, not all are pretty or good or polished, but at least they try new things!

Proton.me is their real url, but is that link taking you to proton.me?

He’s doing you all a favor. You don’t need meds; to cure the depression you just need to get off the bed, have a walk every day and smile more. Right? Right?

smh…

(just in case, /s, it’s a shame that we can’t tell anymore without announcing it)

It is sarcasm. I… expected not to have to say it but in hindsight I realize that the amount of people that would say it seriously is so high I should have added the /s

Awesome, now they just need to consider the judges an enemy of the country so they can ignore or remove them

I wonder how much of that time was simply because of the time it took then to simply change things. Logistics were slow, as were coms. Changing trade routes and establishing new ones took years.

Now? If you want to start a new trade route with an alternative country, you need a phone call (hyperbole, I’m simplifying things for the sake of the discourse). Rome took centuries to fall, but nowadays, that could happen in a matter of months.

I’m not sure if you are a bad troll or just not very intelligent.

Not much. A series of tweets saying:

he loves hitler

he is a nazi

elon stole his nazi swag

(Yes, all three consecutive).

Then he went and said that he is autistic.

And I wish I was joking but it’s all true

No, that xkcd is relevant because that’s exactly what free speech means. Your government won’t arrest you for saying stuff, but for the same reason you are free to speak, we are free to act within law against you.

And there is no law forbiding people from boycotting or unhosting or simply not listening to what you say.

You are free to speak, we are free to listen.
