I'm glad to hear the game's gotten much better! I purchased the game on sale but have left it sitting in my Steam library for a little while, knowing that it is playing much better means I'll move it higher on my playlist.
If you get a message from someone you never matched with on Tinder, itâs not a glitch â itâs part of the appâs expensive new subscription plan that it teased earlier this year, which allows âpower usersâ to send unsolicited messages to non-matches for the small fee of $499 per month....
This might sound super weird, but whenever I actually find time to go âI have like 4 hours to spare, might as well play a game,â my brain just goes âhey, remember that movie you wanted to watch?â or âhey, remember that thing you wanted to wikipedia?â or âMight as well pay rent now, itâs due in 3 days.â...
I donât think Iâm alone in this, but what Iâm really wondering is if this is a result of getting older? Or is it because the gaming space itself has changed?
Both. When youâre older you donât have as much time to play video games so you want that time to be more meaningful and for the games you play to be more concise. In addition, a lot of games have added âhundredsâ of hours of content by large and relatively empty open worlds that are full of worthless autogenerated side quests and collectible trinkets, which is undoubtedly a worse gameplay experience.
Sorry Jack, but Iâm an anarcho-Bidenist, and ultimately like our lord and savior Joe Biden said, weâre in the beginning of a happy pride life. Walter White is gay, Jessie Pinkman is gay, and soon, you too will be gay.
Random person: Hey Hitler, can you please stop doing the Holocaust.
Hitler: Nein.
Random person: Damn, guess I canât do anything. If I used force to stop Hitler from committing a genocide I would be just as bad, because everyone knows killing a Nazi who wants to kill every Jew and killing an innocent Jewish person are equal moral acts.
I honestly donât understand how people think like this. All they do is enable fascism and the imperial ambitions of more aggressive nations. As long as we live in a world with sovereign nations, some of those nations may do something extremely wrong that requires a war to stop, and that doesnât mean you just let them do it. Ultimately, war is bad but genocide is worse and sometimes sacrifices have to be made (exclusion existing for nuclear war, which would render humanity and most of life on Earth extinct).
It is absolutely an apt comparison. Genocide is a favored tool of fascists because itâs an effective way of quickly wiping away dissident civilians and destroying the mythical enemy they have in their heads. The Nazis alive today would absolutely do the Holocaust again given the ability, and fascism is too popular in too many countries for ridicule alone to work.
I think some people have trouble conceptualizing those around them as human. From what I can tell itâs not intentional cruelty, at least at first, they just struggle to conceptualize and understand the idea that all of the people around them have just as dynamic and complex inner worlds as they do. When itâs a struggle to make that connection, itâs easy to go through life ignoring the plight of those around you, disregarding them with the same ease most people dismiss a warning on a computer.
That definitely doesnât help. In an atomized society there are fewer incentives to work with other people which causes people to either not develop proper social skills or to develop malformed ones.
Indeed. Thatâs one of my biggest problems with religion and why it makes me uncomfortable even though I ostensibly believe that people have their right to spirituality. Ultimately, with spiritual premises, people can come to faulty or unpredictable conclusions even with sound logic, and that somewhat unnerves me.
I think that all people and many non-person animals have dynamic and complex inner worlds, but Conservatives definitely have a blind spot when it comes to political evaluation. Unfortunately, itâs our nature as our species to seek out shortcuts. One of the ways we do this is by finding trusted sources to do some level of evaluation for us, that way we donât have to think about as much. With Conservatives, many of them learned to trust certain sources from their parents, religion, or their own misguided fear. These sources are conspiratorial and hate-mongering, and they usually donât apply any critical analysis to them. This leads to a self-perpetuating cycle where their sources tell them to trust no one and to be hateful and from that they donât pick up any new sources, causing them to enter an echo chamber they canât escape. Itâs honestly kinda sad and I somewhat pity them, but I still will do what it takes to defeat them politically.
Ubisoft just added Denuvo to Assassins Creed Mirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online. (meta.masto.host)

I hate how much my brain starts remembering interesting stuff when I finally sit down to play a video game
This might sound super weird, but whenever I actually find time to go âI have like 4 hours to spare, might as well play a game,â my brain just goes âhey, remember that movie you wanted to watch?â or âhey, remember that thing you wanted to wikipedia?â or âMight as well pay rent now, itâs due in 3 days.â...
I used to be concerned about a game being too short. Now I worry that it will be too long.
Title mostly describes how Iâm feeling now....
