The USA has always been THE bad guy, it just used to have better marketing and propaganda.

Watching the trailer caused me deep psychological pain, but it’s a very impressive game if all the systems showcase are true.

Isn’t this dead? I remember some news about it from last year that this was being sponsored by AMD and then they backtracked from it, so the main dev also dropped it.

Is it still Enshitification if it was shitty from the start?

Lookup where the expression Carbon Footprint came from, what ad campaign birthed the term and what were the motivations of the companies involved in doing so. It’s not a matter of “and”, it’s a matter of propaganda or actual reality.

There was actually a case in Brazil recently where a girl left her male friend alone during a hike, and the guy got lost and stayed 5 days surviving alone in the jungle near the mountain until he was eventually found alive. Almost no news outlet mentions that he was abandoned, but there is a video from the girl who was supposed to be with him saying that she left him behind and out of her sight. No news outlet blamed the woman like they would if the gender roles had been reversed.

For the US (which has always been an imperialistic pos country, never the savior of the world), this is not a pointless war. Is the most simple of all modern wars: oil war. Iran has the power to block 20% of the world’s oil supply. This is as simple as it gets, you just need to drop the rose-tinted glasses and realize that the USA js not, and has never been, any sort of paragon of morality and justice. It’s an Empire built by Oil and Billionaire Pedophiles. It’ll always do the shameless thing, because it knows no shame, and it has never known any shame, it just used to be a bit better at marketing.

It’s my anecdotal evidence, but Unity games run like shit. Whenever I hop in an Indie game where they used Unity, performance makes no sense. An example of this is the og Hollow Knight, which needs way more resources than it seems it would. Now that Godot games are becoming more widespread, I have never felt that a game made in Godot was “heavier than I expected it’d be”, often the opposite. Maybe it’s just that most developers using Unity don’t know how to optimize in that engine… But it’s weird. UE5 I can usually at least see where the performance bloat is coming from, but Unity just makes no sense.

Humans are not herbivores. There are a lot of good social and ethical reasons to not eat meat, this is not one of them.

It will all just get dumped in the Atacama desert, like they already do. Every year tons of fast fashion wearables get dumped there.

20% Mostly Negative on Steam right now.

Shit! I’m soon to go Linux and now there’s one more thing for me ro figure out then. I have some stuff (not a lot, but some important stuff) on OneNote, lucky me that I made the switch to Obsidian a couple of years ago.

“A war fought is a war lost.” People don’t get how much Sun Tzu applies to modern China’s strategy. They won’t fight you in the field, that’s stupid. They’ll take control of all your manufacturing capabilities and cripple your infrastructure through dependency. That army? Literally just for show. ICBMs? Intimidation. The real war is economical.

Não acredito que tem maluco que nem tu no Lemmy. O cara chama o Lula de Narco Ditador kkkkkkkk

Essa foi longe demais. Daqui a pouco tu vai falar que o Bolsonaro não tem nenhuma ligação com as milícias do Rio de Janeiro, e também não teve nada a ver com os planos do golpe. E o Lula que é o ditador… E não me entenda errado, eu não sou nem maluco de achar que o Lula é de verdade de esquerda, mas não foi no governo dele que morreram 700 mil pessoas de Covid, muitas das quais não precisariam ter morrido.

Outra: abre o site do FMI e olha a série histórica de gráficos da economia brasileira começando em 1989 até 2025. Números não mentem, o primeiro e segundo mandatos do Lula foram os melhores que o Brasil já teve na nova República.

I couldn’t have said it better. This is it. Yes, you as a player might be someone who is more rational than emotional, but the vast majority of people living in the world in the 21st century are religious to some degree at least, and more sensitive than sensible. Let’s not forget that Catherine is not from the 21st century either, she is, from Simon’s perspective, from far in the future. Mind cloning for us today is impossible, not real, just a thought experiment. For Catherine, it was reality. Thinking that Simon is just “a big baby” is quite a wrong interpretation of the person he is supposed to be. He is not you, he is the 90%, a dude living a normal life in the 21st century, that, after going to get a brain scanner, wakes up in an abandoned underwater facility full of man-created horrors far into the future. He is not your self-insert. In a way, he is also a kind of empathy test for the audience, which the devs very much knew would be more on the rational side for this kind of game. Can you empathize with this “dumb” dude and understand his struggle? Can you understand his views and partake in his personal horror?

Oh, you’re for real an Israel apologist. I for a second thought you might just be naive, but no, it’s much worse. You’re a genocide supporter.

My cat literally loves hiding behind my display port connected monitor, bumps into it all the time, it has never disconnected or stopped working. Your cable might suck.

Nah, you have interpretation problems and a little cursing on the internet is quite inoffensive.

I hate this shit as well. People use “The Earth” to make it sound good for the environment, but it’s actually just human greed we’re always talking about. Take sustainability for example, you ask teens about it, and a lot of them will say it’s about saving the environment. It’s not. It’s about trying to sustain capitalism and our consumerist lifestyle to go on forever while pretending to give a fuck about the environment.
