summerof69,

Anyone with good media equipment cares when they consider purchasing a game. Nobody needs this info every time they launch it.

summerof69,

It gets good reviews because it’s fun to play. The game is good at its core: you have to scan machines, aim at weak spots, move a lot in the battle to avoid damage, choose right weapons, or you can override a machine and enjoy the show, there are so many options and challenges. Besides, let’s not underestimate the value of good graphics. They make the world nicer, more enjoyable, make you want to come back and play again. I understand that this game is not for everyone though.

summerof69,

I wouldn’t say that Horizon aims to be super realistic. I mean, it’s not far away, especially if we compare it to Elden Ring. But in Horizon colors are saturated, the game looks too beautiful and vibrant to be realistic in my books. I would say Hogwarts Legacy is a better example of a too realistic game: colors are bleak, objects and textures are much closer to what we can find in real life, it does look generic as you say (at least IMO).

summerof69,

You can try, but people won’t be as thrilled for TES or Fallout without Bethesda, for example.

‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms (www.theguardian.com)

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah....

Nukes in Palestine? Even Russia can’t use nukes safely in Ukraine due to the potential pollution of their own territory.

summerof69,

That still makes USA easy mode compared to most countries.

summerof69,

I live in one of the grey countries. You can create an account, but Sony offers different stores in different countries, so you have to pick another country. They even sells consoles in many of the grey countries. The biggest issue is that you probably won’t be able to buy anything without extra hustle because your card is not issued in the country of your PSN account. Also, this is technically against their ToS. But you can create an account to play Helldivers 2.

With that said, I can’t speak for all countries. Maybe somewhere it’s really impossible to create an account without VPN.

summerof69,

And that’s why they can afford investing in VR and in games like HL: Alyx. I enjoyed it very, very much.

summerof69,

Whataboutism in replies? Color me surprised.

summerof69,

Like, what is your version of what’s happening that polls aren’t reliable now?

Didn’t they explain?

In this case it’s clearly biased against people who don’t answer random numbers. The “not answering” cohort may be correlated with other population groups like people with higher education and higher earnings. The survey may be systematically missing this chunk of the population, making the results biased too.

Higher educated democrats not surveyed -> the survey misses their opinions -> the survey is wrong when the results come in at election time.

summerof69,

People think they’re bad now, because Hillary and the media said

No, this particular user thinks polls are bod because younger voters, who are more likely to vote for Democrats, are not going to pick up calls from random numbers. They were very clear. Why are you inventing arguments that were never mentioned in the discussion?

summerof69,

I’m not “inventing” arguments, you’re just ignoring explanations.

I didn’t ask you for any explanations. Don’t take too much responsibility on yourself and play the lecturer. You failed to understand what they were trying to say, I tried to help. That’s it. I’m not here for your explanations, you have neither expertise nor credibility to teach others.

summerof69,

Have a nice life, I won’t be spending anymore time on you.

Thank you.

summerof69,

You have to conquer areas of the city to proceed with the story. You go to some place like a factory, kill everyone, leave, a boss of the factory becomes alerted, comes to the factory, you go back and kill everyone again to get to the boss, kill or hire the boss. And that’s like 80% of the game. I think there were 20-30 repetitive missions like that with 0 substance. But Mafia I and Mafia II are fully focused on the story.

summerof69,

Mate, if you cared about your time, you wouldn’t argue on Lemmy under a post about something you didn’t even read.

summerof69,

London is the capital of Great Britain.

summerof69,

But that’s not important now.

summerof69,

I did read it. But y’all love getting on your high horse over false assumptions 🤷‍♀️

I didn’t bother reading it either

🤡 🤡 🤡

summerof69,

Truth social sounds so silly translated to Russian. I wonder if it’s as silly in English to native English speakers.

summerof69,

Lemmy.ml is still focused on FOSS and Privacy

Meanwhile at c/worldnews they remove replies where people disagree that Ukraine is run by fascists and Putin should take it.

summerof69,

It’s simply easier for Death to update Wikipedia before the act. Death doesn’t want to be late for the party that comes after.

summerof69,

Why hate them? What did they do to you?

summerof69,

Because there’s no “Germany” in this movement. Different lands, different governments, different offices, etc.

summerof69,

Why multiple fronts? The current conflict may be frozen under “right” circumstances, Putin will have several years to resupply. It doesn’t matter if Ukrainian allies have more economical and technological power than Russia if people in places like Germany cry that Currywurst now costs 1 EUR more than 2 years ago, and just want this to be over.

summerof69,

If I remember right, most polls show people are against sending weapons. This might be why Scholz is cautious about sending Tauruses. The Baltic states have warned for years that Russia is a threat, even before Ukraine was invaded in 2022. But others didn’t listen to them then, and many still don’t take them seriously. The truth is, Russia is doing better than Ukraine’s allies because people think the conflict won’t reach them, and they prefer not to support politicians who would sacrifice short-term benefits for long-term security.

summerof69,

And I explained why.

summerof69,

Canonical has nothing to do with Arch Linux, so I don’t see what’s the issue.

summerof69,

Why? I don’t see what blocks people from using it with a PC.

summerof69,

Where does it say that you can’t make an app? From my understanding, you can’t distribute in their store. Nobody is taking away your hardware or blocks you from using it.

summerof69,

How does this contradict what they said though? Just because some niche community knows these games, it doesn’t make them platform-selling games. Valve had HL2 with episodes, Portal, TF2, CS, and Dota 2.

summerof69,

Correct.

summerof69,

If by “this” you mean “go to a community with ‘Memes, Jokes, Vents and Banter’ with a straight face”, then you’re the one who might have the answer!

summerof69,

I think they’ve just had the IPO, that’s why we see it. But I wouldn’t worry in the long term unless something major happens, but that applies to any major social media.

summerof69,

Probably bosses are trying to convince AI that AI is ready.

summerof69,

Yeah, people should use proper software to deal with their mental problems. Arch Linux, for instance, comes with a bare minimum, offering the user repositories with fresh packages and AUR to build anything they like.

Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

summerof69,

I got a couple of jobs thanks to LinkedIn, I don’t know what problem people have with it. Yeah, the content is questionable, but nobody asks you to spend time scrolling the feed.

summerof69,

for 99% of employees

What’s the source for this data?

summerof69,

posts an unfunny toxic joke

omg people are so stupid for not understanding my brilliant sarcasm

summerof69,

True that. The system that we have is the product of many painful lessons, taught to us by global crises and crimes. People, who oppose this system, should stop reading nonsense on reddit and 4chan, and start with books and lectures from educated economists.

summerof69,

Are you seriously suggesting me to contact my MEP based on the clickbait title you’ve written? Wow.
