  • Bam Margera will be in Tony Hawk 3+4 after all after Hawk intervened, it’s claimed

    Jump

  • .... I don't know, is that why they tried to remove him? Are all the other skaters in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games notable in some way that he isn't?

    I'm not trying to argue some point, I just know basically nothing about this and I'm curious.

  • Why would they not include him? Is he controversial for some reason?

  • Microsoft might soon integrate your Steam games into the Windows Xbox app

  • I needed to hear that, actually. Thanks lol.

    I intended to look pretty hard at swapping to Linux this year since they're stopping security updates for Win10. I guess now I know exactly what flavor of Linux to grab.

  • What games other than Smite have a lot of pantheons (beyond Greek and Norse)?

    Jump

  • Is Valhalla anything like Odyssey where it's just outrageously long? I put like 50hrs into Odyssey, realized I'd barely scratched the game and stopped playing lol

    Which, I liked Odyssey quite a bit. There's just too much game there for me.

  • I think he's talking about actual mythologies, not fictional pantheons. I'm not sure tho.

  • How the fuck do I find out where and when all these protests and rallies are happening?

    Jump

  • Always been like that in my experience.

    I remember being frustrated asf as a teenager by people not understanding words or knowing how to spell things. My brother in christ, you have a phone and an internet connection in your pocket with access to basically the entirety of human knowledge. Fucking Google it.

  • Why there are few video games with a lot of mythological pantheons?

    Jump

  • I'll list a few other pantheons on his behalf if it makes you feel better:

    Voodoo, Yoruba, Celtic, Japanese, Polynesian, Aztec.

  • Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved?

    Jump

  • I used to be into HP fanfiction and my god I got so tired of hearing about HPMOR. I didn't hate it, I didn't feel nearly that strongly. I got a handful of chapters in and put it down, but that's reasonably normal for me. But my god you could not escape that fic. It's fans were rabid and it's detractors were even worse than that. If it could vaguely fit a req, they'd bring it up. And then get three replies about how it doesn't fit the req and it's the worst thing since My Immortal within fifteen minutes.

  • How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?

    Jump

  • By nature, the fediverse is hard to tie back to individuals… But if they’re looking for you individually, they can find you

    Yeah. Bonus points if your instance isn't hosted in the US. I'm pretty sure mine is hosted in Canada, and with the way it's going currently in a year or two Canada wouldn't be willing to piss on the US government if it was on fire much less hand over a server full of IP addresses.

  • Further, pretty sure the entire contents of the internet have been sucked down into that NSA Utah Datacenter since it opened in May 2014.

    There is a truly prodigious amount of weird porn on a government server somewhere if true.

  • Do zinc tablets and toothpaste counteract each other in the mouth?

    Jump

  • I have no clue about your notstupidquestion but it's inspired one of my own.

    Why are you taking zinc? I was under the impression that intaking zinc is a terrible idea and should be avoided at all cost.

    Maybe it's specifically inhaling it that's the issue? I've always heard this in a metallurgy context: that you should be careful heating up brass/welding galvanized steel etc because the zinc will turn into a fairly toxic gas.

  • Yeah, exactly.

    Reminds me the ol "if all your friends jumped off a bridge would you do it too?"

    Some parents these days seem to think the solution is that you shouldn't be able to jump off the bridge in the first place.

    What was the 'bear vs man' controversy?

  • Since I have no clue what argument you're talking about I definitely can't provide context.

    I think maybe we're all confused lmao.

    But yeah, you summed up the original context pretty well. It was a TikTok trend asking women if they'd rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a man. A lot of people, primarily women, basically pointed and said "see how much women don't trust the average man." A lot of men pointed at it and said, "see how much women hate men." And it was a whole gender argument for awhile. I just sort of thought it was all around sad and depressing.

  • Ellie Gibson - from the Scummy Mummies podcast - said Mr Baszucki's message risked sounding "a bit of a get out".

    "It's much easier said than done, especially when all their friends are playing it," she told the BBC.

    That's wild to me. "Your platform isn't safe." "So don't let your kids use it." "But all their friends are on it!"

  • I'm confused, can you provide some context?

    I know about the bear vs man thing that went viral for awhile- "Would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a man?", but I haven't ever seen it in a Lemmy vs Reddit context.

  • What happens to all the used guns?

    Jump

  • what he thought was a quick trigger that only made it so that if you racked the slide wrong, it would drop the hammer

    Okay, until this part I was like "it's not really a safety issue, still illegal and stupid but not unsafe." Jeez. I could see modifying the barrel or stock of a gun if you just really really wanted to- as long as you don't plug it you can't really cause any harm to anything but your accuracy. Absolutely fuck trying to rig up modifications to the trigger or anything involving the actual firing mechanism. I'm not tryna kill someone on accident.

  • What happens to all the used guns?

  • Our gun laws are more permissive than most, if not all, places, but they still exist and are an absolute mess.

    Federal laws define anything under a 16" barrel as a short barreled rifle- SBR. That's a colossal no-no and a felony. That is enforced.

    The other big thing is that one trigger pull = one round fired. If it breaks that rule, or fires from an open bolt the ATF considers it a machine gun and those are pretty tightly restricted. You can't manufacture more machine guns for the civilian market, they have to be grandfathered in from before they were banned.

    There's tons more whacky Federal stuff- like how they treat suppressors. Federal laws have nothing on state laws though. Man does that get confusing when your gun is absolutely fine in Nevada but is a turbo-crime in California. God forbid you bring a thumbhole stock into California. And then there's concealed carry permits- a lot of places it's illegal to carry a handgun concealed with a permit. But the permits are all state issued and whether they're valid in other states is entirely fucking random.

    TL;DR: we get a lot of shit for having lax gun laws- and we do- but they definitely exist and navigating them can be a gigantic pain.

  • Star Wars: Hunters will go offline in October

  • Me too lmao. Turns out it's a mobile game, that's definitely why I missed it.
