I don’t even think they hated us. What i remember is that they mentioned the sub in some negative joking way in like 2018 and we just kind of ran with it. I kinda doubt they even know we exist

We don’t? We changed the name years ago.

Also this is a fan site.

Exterminating Palestine is a higher priority for Harris than winning the election.

There’s apparently a whole genre of memoirs like this in Israel. It’s called “shoot and cry” or something.

I think we are/were/have sent that upstream to the main lemmy code doohickey.

Ugh. Yeah. That dry, awful sunburn you get from being outside when it’s -30, cloudless, and there’s fresh white snow on the ground. : p

I’ve heard a significant complaint is that all the pretty dresses aren’t available until fairly late in thegame.

Yeh. The first mod I usually download when I get the Skyrim itch is the one that removes boob windows because, like… it’s fucking cold?

Me asking the person on the other end of the phone why they aren’t flipping over the tortoise to decide if I got a real person.

Remember folks: acta non verba.

Should we give people an incentive to vote by promising material improvements in their lives then fulfilling those promises?

No! We will scold and shame!

we/our

Map game fortnite could legit be something.

Yeah nah legit a lot of HRE principalities were pretty much just one broke ass elector with no qualifications against the world.

That’s absurd. God was shot to death in a back alley in Vienna in 1892. The cops never really bothered investigating, just wrote it off as another coke deal gone wrong.

It’s just like, they yell at us constantly and then they anoint someone who gets up in front of the world and says shit like this. There’s nothing we could possibly do to them that’s worse than what they do to themselves.

The most Shonen Jump of all possible games.

My group calls it “Jank Tolerance” and breaks it down in to categories like “Slav Jank” for eastern European games with bizarre UI choices, weird bugs, and strange oversights in design, but it’s worth it because there’s often a different approach to game design and you get ideas that european/american studios wouldn’t try. “German Sim Jank” refers to unrealistically ambitious German sim games that you tolerate because there’s nothing else like them. “Indy Jank” is indy games where you deal with the bugs because the vision is there and you can put up with some issues for the experience. “Bethesda Jank”, of course, pretty obvious.

Differences in Jank Tolerance can drastically change people’s perception and enjoyment of a game. Helldivers 2 is my latest thing, so I’ll use it as an example. People were upset that Chargers, a giant tank bug, would “ice skate”. I could never figure out what they meant because it turned out that “ice skating” was just an animation error and a bit of physics engine jank. To me, so minor that I really didn’t even notice, but for people who don’t willingly subject themselves to Dwarf Fortress or Kenshi or similar weirdness it was a real, serious problem.

FMV games

Wow I had forgotten those were even a thing. They were kind popularish back in the early days of CD-ROMs when game companies didn’t know what to do with the unfathomably large 600mb of storage capacity.

Also waiting in the water to catch the guy as he falls so he doesn’t splash is smoooooth as hell.

I mean, whatever, it’s an interactive way to watch movies I guess? Detective movies in particular seem like they’d work well because you could have the player/viewer work out the mystery together with the detective in a psuedo-interactive way.

27. Don’t be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.

28. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

29. Never turn your back on an enemy.

30. Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth.

31. If you can see the whites of their eyes, somebody’s done something wrong.

32. “Two wrongs is probably not going to be enough.”

33. Don’t expect the enemy to cooperate in the creation of your dream engagement.[

34. Don’t try to save money by conserving ammunition.

35. Only cheaters prosper.
