  • The IDF is a military force actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide. Israel itself is a colonist state that only exists thanks to constant violence threatened and perpetrated by its military and the US. It is not in any way antisemitic to criticize these entities up to and including advocating for their dissolution. Anyone who takes this valid criticism and turns it into "Jews Bad" is either incapable of understanding the complexity of the issues here, is a bad faith actual anti-Semite looking for an excuse, or has fallen for the ubiquitous state propaganda that has been conditioning this exact response.

    States and militaries are not culture. Nationalism is not identity. Fascism must be dismantled whatever form it takes.

  • Yeah the whole article including the headline -- "terrifying"?? -- is 98% slop. Depressing.

  • For downvoters: China has no global "social credit system". There was one medium-small city that implemented what we imagine for a bit (though with the harshest punishments being things like inability to purchase luxury train tickets, not imprisonment like the propaganda says), but abandoned the project. There is a "social credit" or "public trust" system that has pretty wide adoption, but in almost diametric opposition to the Western propaganda, it's not for keeping tabs on citizens, but rather government officials and contractors, to ensure interagency knowledge of any impropriety. I.E. precisely the sort of system that would help prevent a cadre of hacks and conmen from infiltrating government agencies and abusing them for personal gain.

  • What are your favorite games that you never see mentioned anywhere?

    Jump

  • Nice, came here to mention Sacrifice! A remake would go so hard, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

    TLJ is also solid.

  • What's a good instance to be on at the moment?

    Jump

  • Yeah I've been very happy here. Despite a reputation as a "tankie instance" I find that we mostly just don't put up with fascists which is sick imo.

  • The Terminal Question

    Jump

  • Umm, what I said: the updates happen faster. If you have a GPU maybe you should try it?

  • The Terminal Question

    Jump

  • If you're on a high-refresh display, the GPU acceleration allows for much faster updates. Makes it feel much smoother. It's of course not needed, but neither is a lot of stuff we do.

  • The Terminal Question

    Jump

  • Uhh, switching terminals is nothing like distro-hopping, that's a ridiculous analogy. You might need to configure the new terminal, but that's it, and there's no cost or conflict.

  • I love foot. The only caveat is that it's only for Wayland (no X support).

  • Thank you Ubisoft!

  • Stray was so mid... If it didn't have cute cats it would have been forgotten instantly.

    I was most flabbergasted by the fact that you never hunt anything!! What a miss! How do you make a game where you play as a cat without any stealth stalking of prey??

  • Tunic is awesome and I wish more people talked about it

    Jump

  • Hmmm, something isn't adding up here. While there are a couple places where the combat is annoying, it's really only the bosses and maybe a few enemies in the endgame.

    The blobs absolutely have tells, I can't remember what they are but they exist. If you've played literally any action game before you should be able to beat that enemy pretty easily, it sounds like you were pressing the wrong button to dodge or something.

  • Is there a community where I could share my favorite Japanese music discoveries once a month?

    Jump

  • I'm interested in music discovery communities as well. I think if you're posting once a month you don't need to limit yourself to Japanese music communities, unless you want to.

  • If you're wearing sunglasses when you're out, do you take them off when going into a store or do you keep them on?

  • Police unions are the only bad union.

  • Super Meat Boy 3D Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • This does look a lot more faithful to the gameplay of the original than that weird mobile game they made a couple years ago. I'm sure the move to 3d means the precision won't be quite as demanding, but hopefully the extra dimension will make up for that with interesting new challenges.
