I think Republicans saw how popular Palin was, not just in spite of, but because she was so fucking dumb. Then they realized their voters didn’t really give a shit about policies, character, or the ability to govern. Their media bubble created the perfect atmosphere for a person like Trump to get elected. And they clearly have no problems with it, so they’ll continue the trend long after Trump’s cheeseburger clogged heart gives out.

They also nearly doubled the recoil of the breaker. That’s a huge deal.

jballs,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, if they were concerned about people spamming those and nothing else, then I wish they’d balance the rewards / mission effort, rather than just extending the mission time.

jballs,

It feels like the game balance team hasn’t played the game on the higher difficulties. If your primary weapon isn’t supposed to be able to deal with tanks, then your strategems are your only option. But nerfing the railgun without giving us other alternatives makes killing massive amounts of tanks impossible. I doubt the buffs to the flamethrower and laser cannon are going to be enough.

jballs,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah I just made a similar comment. At the higher levels, you have more tank enemies than are practical to deal with using orbitals and airstrikes alone. The railgun was the only thing feasible to deal with wave after wave of tanks. Taking that away without giving alternatives is a major blow to level 7 and above.

jballs,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

I personally prefer that there isn’t one correct way to play the higher difficulties.

I agree that there should be many viable ways to at higher difficulties. I just think that nerfing the only way that seems to work without providing alternatives doesn’t seem like the way to go about making that happen.

I’ve played this game all the way through 3 times. The only thing that affects its replayability is the long-term emotional damage.

I loved the Batman Arkham games, but yeah, one and done is good.

jballs,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

I stalled out on playing this. I loved the combat aspect, but the chores and conversations feel too much like… well, chores. I just wanna fuck up some bad guys, not watch my character watch a movie with a Marvel character!

They recently released an updated version of Brothers with new graphics. But the game is exactly the same. So it’s not really a must buy for me. Especially since the original had pretty good graphics anyway.

jballs,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

But there are sequels to play! Also, playing To the Moon with someone who hasn’t played it before is just as good.

Yeah now that you mention it, I see the same thing. Still, having DALL-E do this in a few seconds was way more convenient for me than actually creating a horse from jeans and taking a picture.

You wouldn’t have as much of a problem with shoes in the house if you installed yourself some jarpet floors.

jballs,

Dammit, now I can’t stop laughing thinking about if the jarpet matches the jrapes

I think that wasn’t quite the beginning of the end, but it was definitely a warning sign for what was to become of the Republican party. I think they saw how Dubya was a moron and that was appealing to a lot of voters, so they thought “there’s a recipe for success here.”

On a random note, that just led me to this video where the guy who floated Palin’s name to McCain said it was “the biggest fucking mistake of his life”.

No problem. I keep trying to post the syntax for linking a gif, but I can’t figure out how to use escape characters in Lemmy, so I’ll just write it out. It is:

Exclamation point. Open square bracket. Close square bracket. Open parentheses. Gif url. Close parentheses.

Yep, seems like it

Glad to see them making changes. This game is fun as hell, but running into issues getting in sucks bad. Especially when you’re in a squad and someone’s game drops and they can’t join again for another hour.

I think we can all agree that more video games need over the top acting by Tim Curry.

I think that by pardoning him, that absolutely would move the country forward, instead of dividing it further.

Why are Republicans so soft on crime?

I like sh.itjust.works because it has the best name. Also the admins seem cool.

Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming (www.gamedeveloper.com)

Payday 3 launched for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in September 2023 but has seemingly struggled to win over players. The title currently has a ‘mixed’ rating on Steam with over 36,000 user reviews, although the vast majority of recent reviews have been ‘mostly negative.’...

jballs,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

I played it a lot at launch. Frankly it’s just boring after a while. There’s only something like 6 or 7 missions. You get no rewards for completing missions except for random achievements and cash, which is pretty useless overall.

There’s a self service store in the Newark airport that sells overpriced snacks for travelers stuck without any other options. It asks you for a tip while you check yourself out. As if paying $6 for a cup of juice wasn’t bad enough already.

This just reminded me of a time I, an American, was in France and some French dude tried to talk shit outside of a bar. He said, in a very French accent, “I ate l’Anglais”. Please allow me to break down what is wrong with this sentence.

  1. First and foremost, I’m pretty sure he had not actually eaten anyone and instead was trying to communicate his strong dislike for me.
  2. He also started off the sentence in English, which was a brave effort, I must admit. Especially seeing how he never learned to pronounce the letter H in his English class (see point #1), this took real courage to attempt to talk shit in a language with which he clearly struggled. However, as you can see in the second half of his sentence, he reverted back to his native tongue, so I can’t give him too much credit.
  3. Finally, “l’Anglais” is French for “the English”. As I mentioned earlier, I am American, which is not the same as being English. We had a rather nasty war a few hundred years ago that settled the matter, but apparently they have not heard about that in all areas of France.

All in all, he had 3 major errors in a sentence that contained 4 words. 2 of the words be “I” and “l’”.

There was a time in 1999 where quite a few of us had to stop, drop, shut em down open up shop.

Upon careful analysis of the top posts, I believe lemmy needs more unhinged text posts

man cannot live on memes and news alone. there is a void here. news stories breed reasoned discussion, generally filled with stringent, on topic remarks. memes breed tepid remarks, a step above twitter blue check replies, but little worth reading....

They were referring to an AskLemmy post where someone asked for dieting tips to not poop for 3 days. They wouldn’t explain why, but assured us that they weren’t being smuggled or something.
