Serinus, (edited )

I’d be quite impressed if Macron sacrificed his position to fight the fascists.

I didn’t think he had it in him. (And it seems he doesn’t.)

Serinus,

J’apprécie votre perspicacité, merci.

Serinus,

Don’t connect that machine to the internet. (Not that you had plans to.)

Serinus,

They need more introductory tools/mini games that teach you the basics.

They also need regular events that bring new players in at the same time. They’ll have a better time when they’re matched against each other. You can’t really guarantee this, but giving people maybe 1-3 “new player week” per year would raise the probability.

It’s a shame they don’t have time to do this before Arcane season 2. It’s a shame they didn’t do this years ago.

Any game has churn. If you’re not bringing in new players, then you’re dying.

EVE Online from 2000-2014 is the gold standard of longevity. (After that they fired their economist and ruined the economy.)

Serinus,

Please consider going into poly-sci/law/history, keep your nose relatively clean, and try to run for office.

Serinus,

Can you not?

Serinus,

And then you get to be extra sad when you can’t get out of the 1960s fridge.

Serinus,

What political positions didn’t you like when she was running?

Serinus,

I also voted for Bernie and then for Hillary. But I think Hillary did just have bad feels built against her for 30 years.

Serinus,

Unix time starts January 1st, 1970 and counts the number of seconds since then.

Right now it is 1718265480 (approximately).

That’s stored in a 32 bit signed integer. It hits max int in January of 2038.

Serinus,

Well, the ability to expense things is nice. Congressmen shouldn’t have to sleep in their office.

Serinus,

It’s more than a shot. It changes your appetite.

Serinus,

Maybe Boomers shouldn’t have fucked the world and every younger generation.

Serinus,

They make it easy though. They’ll tell him the crime to commit.

Serinus,

30% is the standard. And it’s absurd. They all do it because they all have their own walled garden territory, and it doesn’t benefit any of them to lower prices.

You’re telling me that Steam does 30% of the effort to create and publish a game?

Serinus,

Steam would be profitable at 12%.

Serinus,

Term limits absolutely don’t prevent corruption.

Serinus,

Because new people can’t be corrupt? For the record, George Santos was one of the newest members of Congress.

Just because you don’t know their names doesn’t mean they’re clean.

Serinus,

Term limits go both ways. They can introduce or reduce corruption. In general I think they add corruption, even if they wouldn’t right this moment.

I’d rather pack the court or find another solution to fix corruption in the current court.

Serinus,

All democratic government relies on some amount of good faith. Many of the rules are set up to be guidelines for resolving disputes in a civilized manner, and preventing any single bad actor.

The place where this was most respected was in the transfer of power between presidencies.

That goodwill benefits everyone. If you break it, all hell comes loose. It’s why the Dems have worked so hard to stick to the good faith, even though the other party clearly hasn’t.

Serinus,

There is a process. They can be impeached just like the President.

It’s more than just the Judicial branch that’s broken.

Serinus,

This is how dog whistles used to be done. He can send a message to neo-nazis while having plausible deniability with further context. He’s able to both condemn and support D-Day at once.

Serinus,

I wonder how many employers you’ve just scared the shit out of.

Serinus,

Upvote doesn’t mean agree. But it’s an interesting point.

Serinus,

Also the IDF was fired upon when they raided. That makes this just war. Hamas chose the war zone.

Serinus,

An extremist would say that this can’t end until one side kills the other, so might as well get it over with.

I don’t believe that. I think as humans we have an obligation to try for peace without murdering half a million people. Unlike most people here, I want to believe that someday both sides can find a way to peace.

But if you insist that one side is good and one side is bad, then this can’t end well.

Serinus,

I would argue that one side is fighting to achieve peace

Hilarious. Which side is that?

(The second part I won’t argue. The inevitable annexation is deplorable.)

Serinus,

If Hamas hasn’t given up their hostages, they must not be that interested in peace.

Serinus,

Yes, “lemmy.ml” is how sources work.

Serinus,

With Gyroscope aiming you use the stick for large, broad movements, but for small adjustments you move the controller itself. It’s new as of about 2016ish.

The explanation and video here is good.

Serinus,

Plus, the more the world bends to that threat, the more every other country will pursue nuclear weapons. Giving too wide a berth to Russia is more dangerous for nuclear proliferation than bowing to their threats.

Serinus,

If there’s an LCS watch party around me I’ll certainly try to go.

Serinus,

Unless it’s badger, badger, badger era. These kids don’t even know about Trogdor, the Burninator.

Serinus,

We’ve heard this bullshit so many times. You know what happens? They do it anyway.

Serinus,

PC gaming is much cheaper. A desktop, while being more expensive initially, will last much longer than a console. And the games on PC are much, much cheaper.

Serinus,

Those are quite some claims. Some I’ve never heard of.

You’ll have to excuse me for being skeptical.

Serinus,

That’s quite a stretch to blame America for the AfD.

Serinus,

Maybe it’s a good way to test the waters to add to their concrete examples of bias.

It’s not like they expect the gag order to be followed or enforced anyway. Judge Merchan has enough issues with that, and we already know Cannon will have less than no interest.

Serinus,

the 2016 election was good for your democracy.

It was not. The damage done in those four years far outweighed any lessons learned. Hell, we were supposed to have learned with W.

Serinus,

Something, something $600 Faker skin. I don’t follow exactly what the deal is.

But I have better things to protest over, and a cosmetic only skin ain’t it. I can just… not buy it.

If I’m going to be mad about something, it’s going to be something worth being mad over. For instance, the Blitzchung incident that made me quit classic WoW just before hitting level cap.
