  • What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.

  • Because of a single comment? No need to hold a class about your criteria.

  • So 50% score loss because of a permissive EULA, got it ...

    I'll just leave this in the "Pitchforks against Pitchford" and "Woke, must hate" folder. Call me back when they do actually include a rootkit in their games instead of jumping the gun because loud feelings say loud things. If only there was some way to get statistics of the people getting outraged because of posts in a subreddit community and the people who don't have a problem with rootkits installed by their favorite MMOs...

  • White House says Elon Musk having "unfortunate episode"

    Jump

  • My litmus test is checking out the reddit rconservative to see how this is affecting them. But I would make no mistake, Project 2025 and the MAGA GQP are extremely corrupt and haven't batted an eye for worse things, and Musk represents only a fraction of the power and wealth Trump has his hands on. MAGA was never too keen on Musk, who was always a liability for it.

    These people also have a lot of experience acting and saying what's beneficial to them, and Musk probably knows that he can't just leave and have things go back to normal, he has to find a way to "switch sides" to get people off of boycotting Tesla. Nothing Musk has said had any degree of weight or surprise, and Trump has remained surprisingly diplomatic if this was a true standoff. Whether people consider it a small possibility, trust actions more than words on the TV personality cult sideshow.

  • A grim poll shows most Jewish Israelis support expelling Gazans. It's brutal - and true

  • Trump State Department official has called for mass sterilization of ‘low-IQ trash’

    Jump

  • They want to do a Nazi. Basically, find something they can encapsulate as a minority, remove them, and then move in on their assets to sate their loyalist's hunger. It's the alternative when these sort of people don't have a Palestine they can ransack. I can only imagine the amount of corruption between the immigrants being deported and the ICE agents peddling over everything they were forced to leave behind, it probably makes civil forfeiture abuses seem like peanuts now.

  • These assholes are prepping up with a cloud service with a name change like that.

  • "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

    Jump

  • The thing about them is that they are loud, directed, and often affect the first impression a game gets. If this wasn't with The Witcher fame, the effect would be more notable, and oftentimes they don't admit why they really have a problem with the game directly.

  • My password is not accepted because it is too long

    Jump

  • Some people even suggest typing a longer password over a simpler one with more special characters. It's harder to brute force.

  • Trump admin permits sale of device that allows standard firearms to fire like machine guns

    Jump

  • It's enough to learn when you are being gaslighted about machine gun ammo consumption. Yes, it eats ammo faster, but it is also more dangerous. Furthermore, being fully automatic doesn't mean you spam it until it consumes the whole cartridge, it means you have more control how many bullets you can track with each trigger engagement. It's why burst mode exists, but better. People do have an idea in how to control ammo consumption, it is a core game mechanic with most games with guns.

  • Trump admin permits sale of device that allows standard firearms to fire like machine guns

    Jump

  • I like how you are acting like most of us haven't played an FPS. The biggest difference is that there is no balance nerf between the damage an automatic bullet does and a semiautomatic bullet does. It's certainly leading to more gun deaths in Mexico, where a lot of these weapons are getting exported down to, although it is refreshing to act like school shootings still aren't a thing.

    I fully expect for police to have to fear being "suppressive fired" soon enough, there are enough militant groups within the US that will enjoy the news, specially given the number of their members that were pardoned for Jan 6th.

  • It seemed to tangent off so I had to circle back around.

  • Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations

    Jump

  • If people need to be warned that they might be scammed by someone with an Indian voice asking them for gift cards, I think that they should be reclassified as AI mounts instead of people at that point.

    People do become more senile as they get older, but they need to recognize it as well as prepare ahead of it in time. Who knows, maybe being an AI pet mount then wouldn't be so bad, as long as it was with an offline localized LLM-like AI vetted openly and widely, not the transparent excuse for abuse this is.

  • We gonna fight

  • There's a reason the American revolution wasn't just a group of people known for just peacefully protesting and criticizing until a new king rolled over.

  • The bigger problem is that politics today isn't BS association to what "left" is versus BS association to what "right" is, it's becoming those that are willing to work within a system versus those that are just willing to exploit it. Trying to map out left and right is a concept so absurd no amount of coordinate systems is going to make people across language barriers and international barriers agree on how you label them.

    Reasonable people that disagree are going to have more disagreements than an echo chamber masking a defrauding scheme that is open to be bought by the highest bidders.

  • Fun fact, I once alluded to this on reddit's worldnews and they associated me with Hitler because apparently trying to say there is more than one dimension is trying to whitewash Nazism.

    Troll factories can get defensive, don't touch what they work with.

  • I am used to listening to streams while walking, but I've been noticing the most annoying ads pop-up when I'm interested in something they are saying. This isn't going to make me pay attention to those ads, it's going to drive me to the plethora of other services I can use. The worst thing about it is that it doesn't even pause and cache the stream, meaning that if I was listening to something interesting, the ad just causes me to miss it. Google just keeps eating its own tail.

  • Ocasio-Cortez Rips GOP for Rushing Ahead With Medicaid Cuts 'When Everyone Is Asleep'

    Jump

  • It also serves to dismantle and pacify any possibility of actual opposition growing a pair. When just saying something is "ripping" someone, it has the effect of making it seem like something that is actually effective is being done. When the cult does it, it works for them because it is intended to build cults of ideology that oppose reality by appealing to egos, but they also call for their base to mobilize in ways that are effective. Here, people and politicians just don't want to face doing what would be effective, so they just add stronger language for their usual fallback.

    Imagine if the American revolution had been about people just waiting for the British parliament and King George III to roll over with peaceful protests while they waited. The side with the gullible personality cult is the one getting mobilized and radicalized while the opposition is pacified with the illusion that due process will suddenly materialize again and that everyone will acknowledge how right they were.

    All these headlines make the relative pacifism that is happening seem like activism that is being effective. People need to realize how bad things are going to feel bad enough to do something about it, not be told that just pointing out "that's bad!" is ripping anyone a new one just because it comes from another mouthpiece. There's nothing wrong with the news getting out or pointing out how bad it is, it's the language that suggests that more is being done against it than actually is.
