What is the term for when the internet collectively latches on to hyperbole and half truths for something it decides to to hate; but the hatred is entirely due to the continued spread of those same bits of hyperbole and half truths; and also viciously attacks anyone who tries to point it out?
I swear, Lemmy’s hatred of Brave is like… mass psychosis? No, that doesn’t seem right. It’s like everyone’s argument against it stems entirely from surface level skimming of hit piece headlines. And then the vitriol is dialed up to 11, all based on shit that you learn is overblown to the point of comedy once you spend even a single minute reading about it.

1·10 hours agoI don’t suggest that the methheads selling their food stamps via buying food and selling it to strangers for half price suggest a food shortage in the US.
I mean you should suggest that, because thats exactly what it is. People can’t afford food, so they are seeking out lower cost alternatives. It is a sign of a food crisis. Just like people kidnapping pets to sell for food is a sign of a food crisis.

2·11 hours agoDoesn’t mean the food is reaching more rural areas, like where this dog was butchered. If an area is seeing pets being kidnapped to use as meat, that is not a good sign of food stability.

45·13 hours agoMakes me wonder if there is some kind of food shortage we’re not hearing about. Eating dogs is one thing, but the stealing of pets to use as meat sounds like a form of desperation.
I want to get back into it, but isn’t it end of life? Wasn’t the last expansion the final one?

But sometimes… Sometimes, when it’s super clear out, you can focus on a nebula and stack a bunch of images together to get… A dark smudge.
You mean the Totenkopf? The symbol that was on the hat of every SS Concentration Camp Guard and has been prominently featured in nearly every form of media that has shown Nazi’s? You mean that skull and crossbones?

Didn’t Schumer just endorse him?
God I hate when I drink too much and wind up getting a well recognized symbol of hate and fascism permanently marked on my body. A symbol that’s so well recognized that you typically have to seek out specific artists who are even willing to create it and who would be unlikely to find by stumbling into a random tattoo parlor.

Games@lemmy.world•What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??English
10·7 days agoHonestly, it was my favorite SW game I ever played. Yes, better even than KotR. I felt like I was IN the Star wars universe. Not as a mystical space wizard, but just like… A person. And I loved every second of it. The world felt so alive, especially the cities. There were so many small elements that didn’t need to be there but I appreciated nonetheless, like the street food mini game. Did I need a weird QuickTime event mini game to eat food? No. Did I enjoy the fact that you would get served a big dish of alien cuisine and then actually get to see your character eat it? Like bite-by-bite and could watch it disappear with incredible detail? Sure! There’s a lot of points like that where you can see a lot of love and passion for the game shine through.
It makes me so sad to hear how poorly received the game was. Coming on the heels of Andor, it felt like it was supposed to be a big push in trying to move the SW franchise away from the constant Jedi/Sith space wizard conflict and focus more on the universe itself. Hell, even the rebellion/empire conflict took a back seat in favor of exploring the criminal underworld. I would LOVE more of that (and yes I know about the Maul show and have been enjoying it, but it too leans heavy on the space wizards).
