For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • The old jank engine is honestly pretty good for atmospheric storytelling.
    Sure, Cyberpunk is shiny and all, but there’s something about Bethesda.
    Idk how to explain, corpses in Fallout never despawn. That item you hid in the bush? it’s still there 300h later. It has a certain persistence that isn’t that common.
    It can also feel stale real quick though.
    Especially when you get into janky bugs.
    But all this needs an interesting premise, story and vision.

    I don’t have much hopes for whatever they release next.
    Nor from any AAA.
    Games is art and art is incompatible with the corpo mindset of most game companies these days.

    I’d rather play something that was made with passion than with greed.

















  • From Wikipedia:

    Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Oklahoma do not allow underage marriage. The other states allow an underage person to marry in the following circumstances:

    If one or more of the following apply:

    • consent of the parents or legal guardians of the >minor
    • consent of a court clerk or judge
    • if the minor is emancipated.

    Or in exceptional circumstances if one or more of the following circumstances apply:

    • consent of a superior court judge, rather than a local judge, is required
    • if one of the parties is pregnant
    • if the minor has given birth to a child

    Basically, in these places, there’s a loophole where offenders can marry their rape victims after the fact to make it look proper for the church or something. That and also allow parents or guardians to sell minors into arranged marriages.

    I wonder if anyone was dumb enough to oppose this ban and if so we should list them.
