‘Get on a plane’: Danish minister urged to meet Greenland coil scandal women (www.theguardian.com)

The Danish health minister should “get on a plane and visit” some of the thousands of women thought to be living with the consequences of being forcibly fitted with the contraceptive coil as children, Greenland’s gender equality minister has said....

rikudou,

a very white way of thinking

Can people nowadays state an opinion without being racist?

Other than that the story is horrible. It won’t fix the problem for many (most?) of them, but I hope they get as much money as they can by suing the government.

rikudou,

Why do people keep calling it “the Ukraine”? Serious question.

rikudou,

I think everyone knows the name, he’s kinda (in) famous lately with all the talk about nuking Europe and stuff. It’s Medvedev.

rikudou,

When they decide they should be the president until they die and make it legal. Putin has reached that milestone a while ago.

rikudou,

Ah, TIL. It sounds really weird to me, like saying “the Germany” or “the France”.

My language doesn’t use articles like “a” or “the” so similar issues don’t exist here at all.

rikudou,

I wouldn’t count the part where he was acting president instead of Yeltsin, but yeah, since 2008 he’s stopped being sneaky about wanting to be a dictator.

rikudou,

Ukraine is not a predominant geographic feature? Like, I know what the name means, but for English speaking people the word doesn’t mean anything?

rikudou,

Fall Guys. And Pokémon Unite, but you’d have to emulate the Android on your PC and I haven’t been successful on Linux.

rikudou,

I haven’t, but it’s a bare bones emulator, isn’t it? You also need some mapping software for that game to work.

rikudou,

I’ve been waiting for release for a few years now.

rikudou,

If my high school Russian holds up, the picture says “time to vote”.

rikudou,

That was kinda obvious since the beginning.

rikudou,

Well, that sure is an opinion.

rikudou,

Weren’t there some troubles with Zelda? I think BOTW? The hardware wasn’t capable enough and it got all choppy in some parts of the world.

rikudou,

What the hell? That’s a game published and developed by Nintendo for a platform created by Nintendo. There literally can’t be anything more fair. Witcher 3 runs better on Switch than a 1st party game.

TOTK is not only 1st party game, it’s also made for Switch only, so even your weird argument doesn’t hold.

Seriously, stop fanboying so much, this is ridiculous.

rikudou,

Which “we” are you talking about? Because a lot of Russians vote for him (and I don’t mean just the fake votes, but the real ones as well).

rikudou,

Holy shit, the monarchy is disgusting in the UK.

rikudou,

Yeah, thinking society is stupid for their societal pressure versus going to jail for having the wrong opinion. Truly no difference.

rikudou,

Buy it and refund, that way you cost them money.

rikudou,

Not the OP, but IMO it’s that difficulty is an actual feature. And that feels stupid. Difficulty should be a parameter, not a goal.

I’m a story guy myself, so if the game doesn’t have a really good story, it’s not for me. And souls-likes usually sacrifice everything to difficulty. And even if the story was good, dying 20 times with every new boss would break me out of it all the time.

rikudou,

Well, the last release I know of is from 2022. You gotta expect people judging it by 2022 standards, many people will pick it up for the first time.

rikudou,

What if I’m renting them?

rikudou,

I mean, I’d be buying new laptop pretty often anyway, because I’m using it for work, so in this specific case it’s actually cheaper to rent. Though it remains to be seen whether they’ll lend me a new one once I return this one because they’ll be the ones losing money here.

rikudou,

Damn, I’ve had it in my wishlist for so long and now I’m reading the reviews and I don’t think I want this game anymore.

rikudou,

Sad, but true. Stargate could be so awesome RPG, shooter or a strategy, hell you could even make a Stargate builder game where you colonize a new planet, the IP has so much potential and they choose to do this with it.

rikudou,

@ChatGPT How much is 1 billion JPY in USD?

Edit: It’s around 6.75 million USD.

rikudou,

You mean the one and only corporation that truly cares about its users? /s

How anyone doesn’t think they’re as shitty as any other company of similar size is beyond me.

rikudou,

I’d tie its length to copyright length. Maybe they would fight Disney when they try to raise it again.

rikudou,

So, Steam exclusivity is fine, but other stores exclusivity isn’t?

rikudou,

It’s a very good game, also available on GOG. It also has a VR version which helps with immersion. Earphones are a must to properly enjoy the game.

rikudou,

Fucking site…

Other than that, great news!

rikudou,

I mean, that’s the exact response it deserves.

rikudou,

Can someone knowledgeable of the issue do a TL;DR?

rikudou,

Yeah, the main menu is a really great mini game. On some Alan Turing anniversary it mentioned that it was that day. There are probably a bunch more dates it reacts to.

rikudou,

They straight up don’t want people reselling games they own. They could do it easily, they just don’t want to.

Yeah, Steam does cool things, but the moment you start thinking that very huge corporation somehow cares about you, you’re doomed. Companies don’t care about people, they care about numbers. Especially huge companies like Valve.

rikudou,

I doubt it, it’s much easier to mod the console. Or just use a boot disc (or whatever those were called, I had the chip mod, so I don’t remember, but my friend used to have the disc which he had to insert before playing a pirated game).

rikudou,

That’s still good news for me - I haven’t been reading news about it and thought it was yet another dead Stargate game.

What games would you suggest that have LAN support these days?

While PC may be one's first thought here, I'd also be really interested in any mobile games that might leverage one's local wifi network for multiplayer.

Classics are a-okay for suggestion too, btw!

@games

rikudou,

Heroes of Might and Magic V, aka the best one (go on and fight me, HOMaM III gang). Even better with the unofficial 5.5 patch/mod which adds tons of gameplay.

rikudou,

I tried it, but just can’t see the appeal after having played 5. The graphics are horrible and the gameplay is almost the same as 5.

rikudou,

It can work, everyone loved Squid Game, so you’d presumably find many talents to work on it. Corporation wanting to make money on it doesn’t really change the quality. So it all boils down to management - if the management’s gonna suck, so will the games.

rikudou,

Well, there’s no redemption arc bigger than NMS in gaming history, being optimistic about NMS is ok and has been for a few years.
