mjhelto,

Microsoft is the guy who designs cupholders and never tries them out!

mjhelto,

Exactly!

At the end of World War 2, we gave a free pass to almost any Nazi who had any kind of scientific or tactical expertise because we knew the soviets were doing the same and needed the tactical advantage and knowledge to start ahead in the pending Cold War. Many of those same Nazi scientists went on to hold positions of power in our military, intelligence, and corporations.

UN adds Israel to blacklist for harming children in conflict zones (www.middleeastmonitor.com)

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has notified Israel’s Defence Attache in the United States, Major General Hidai Zilberman, of his decision to add Israel to the blacklist of countries and organisations harming children in conflict zones....

mjhelto,

So…we police the world the same way the “police” police Americans, with qualified immunity and military equipment? All the attacks on black and brown people abroad make a lot more sense when you take that “world police” and scale it down to domestic policing of Americans with similar skin color.

mjhelto,

Is it under the Los Compadres Taco Truck?

mjhelto,

May your bot eat all the ass!

mjhelto,

I hope it comes from Murkowsky! He’s definitely learned his lesson, THIS TIME.

mjhelto,

I hope you’re right. I grew up learning about the Cold War. Didn’t think I’d have to experience it, but these fuckers refuse to leave power unless they die, and even then the survivors just Weekend at Bernie’s the corpse like Feinstein.

mjhelto,

Now some want to see that shit show return.

Seriously, they should have argued that by the defense’s own argument, Biden could jail, torture, and/or kill SCOTUS judges, political rivals such as tRump, and effectively commit any crime, so long as he was president when it happened and watch how fast these fascists turn tail.

I don’t understand this country and really wish the boomers would find another hobby besides redoing all the shit the generation before them tried to stop and making everyone’s life worse to do it.

mjhelto,

I mean, do it? No reason to announce it here, and no one will care about your plethora of cameras. Why would what someone chooses to add to their property be something that “pisses you off” so much?

mjhelto,

Then don’t go on their property?

mjhelto,

This is so fucking disgusting. There is no way the IDF doesn’t have precision munitions or know what they are targeting. Also, why the fuck even look to bomb a refugee camp? Why bomb a fucking playground inside a refugee camp? How can any civil person do that to children, regardless of their ethnicity? If the goal is to rid the area of Hamas, all they do is create more of them by doing this shit.

I’m sorry, I was willing to give the IDF the benefit of the doubt, but after other instances of a similar type, there is no doubt that this and other attacks on innocent children are deliberate. This was a playground. This was a refugee camp. These were children… Meanwhile, I’ll watch as many of the world’s governments shake their fists in the air at Israel, and do nothing more to stop any of this.

I’m gonna go hug my son while I mourn the world he is inheriting.

mjhelto,

Man, fuck international law, it goes against the religious beliefs held by many committing these atrocities. I’m not religious at all, but if your god is happy you bombed a fucking playground of children, then fuck your god.

Side note, I agree with you and this was not directed negatively to the previously reply. “Your” was used generally, not specifically. I hate this world sometimes, is all.

mjhelto,

I know. That’s why I didn’t specify any specific deity and left it lower-case. They’re all the same never-ending grift.

mjhelto,

They really shouldn’t…

mjhelto,

No other game has had the impact on my way of thinking more than Outer Wilds.

mjhelto, (edited )

Interestingly enough, I did the same thing. When it launched, I was big into piracy and had a shitty job to pay for games with. Played until I could fly the ship, flew into the sky, then promptly lost control of my ship and didn’t touch it again for at least half a decade. So glad I bought it and played it without spoilers!

Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' (www.pcgamer.com)

Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I’m no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

mjhelto,

Worse than all that, it’s a fucking space sim. Why are all these space sims wanting to add FPS?

mjhelto,

I admit, I was a backer of the original campaign for Star Citizen. However, with the dev cycle what it is, I think I’ll be a grandparent before the game releases from early access. Last time I played it, it was a buggy mess, with only combat, and was not fun to me. I also admit, a lot of my angst comes from the way Elite: Dangerous tried to make FPS combat, etc., a thing. As someone who plays that game to explore, that entire DLC, as well as the alien shit they added, was part of system I had no interest in and, in my opinion, has further led to the downfall of E:D, a game that has been waiting for atmospheric landing, etc., but still, years later, barely has non-atmospheric landing.

I get the desire to walk about your ship, have carrier ships you can walk around with other players, and space stations you can visit actual NPCs in. However, if I wanted to shoot stuff, I’d play an FPS. I play E:D to explore and get that fear/anxiety/dread I only ever feel watching American politics. Just not my game play when I wanna just chill and narrowly avoid crashing my ship while exploring!

mjhelto,

You’re right, getting out and moving around and hoping into the pilots seat of your ship is cool and I love to see that stuff. However, I don’t know why it always has to tip toward violent encounters instead of just having the ability to feel immersed in a space ship or station.

mjhelto,

That’s a cool aspect of it, no doubt, I just wish it took a backseat to the core game play. We have so many FPS games, but not many great new-gen space sims.

mjhelto,

But that’s never how these things go. They put so many resources into FPS aspects that they almost entirely abandon the space sim. Just look at E:D for an example. They dedicated a whole DLC to walking around your ships and then threw ground assault missions into it.

The immersion from being a part of the world, walking around and experiencing stuff is neat and immersive. If the focus was on that stuff first and FPS second, cool, but that feels rarely the case.

Thanks for the comment!

mjhelto,

Now I have a 4 yo and experience this once every few months. One session was on my leg and computer chair, another was all over his bed, etc.

mjhelto,

I suspect that you had concerns your kid wasn’t feeling bad, proceeded not to believe them when they said they were fine, then got to clean up puke during your lunch.

The joys of parenting!

mjhelto,

Amnesia: The Bunker for me. Close second would be Outer Worlds.

mjhelto,

Unless it’s Mass Effect or Saints Row, though, right? Then err body gettin’ fucked!

mjhelto,

I learned that as a negotiation tactic. Pick the number you want to get, then ask for more. The counter will likely be around what you wanted!
