“I’ve got good news for you. It’s a suppository”

They’re going to release completely absurd and hilarious conspiracy theories and the regular followers of InfoWars who didn’t know about the change of ownership won’t even see the difference.

Placing people in positions of power based on personal loyalty over competence. This is how dictators secure their power. It also usually completely cripples the country’s ability to function at every level but the dictators don’t care about that.

This is ironically what I loved about Subnautica. The game does not hold your hand throughout. You don’t have a map, you don’t mindlessly follow waypoints, you are not being given a guided tour through the story like some ride at Disneyland. You have to learn to navigate the area yourself, memorize landmarks, and figure out what you have to do yourself with the clues around you. It is a bit of a whiplash at first when you are so used to being babysitted and guided throughout a game but I’ve found it to be the unbelievably rewarding once the “click” happens. You can absolutely miss important (and dope AF) events if you miss the timings that the game gives you. You are treated like an adult by the game. You really get the feeling of being a lone explorer, planning and going on expeditions to gather what you need whether it is resources or blueprints and it will all be you.

The risk-reward situation of exploring increasingly complex and disorienting ship fragments, slowly cutting through blocked doors with a laser while seeing your oxygen levels dwindle and hoping you can find your way back out in time were absolutely fantastic to me. The way the gameplay and the way you travel through the world entirely changes the moment you unlock the PRAWN suit, and one again with the Cyclops are absolutely amazing.

I wish this game clicked with everyone the way it did for me. It is easily my top 5 best single player experiences ever and I only wish I could forget it so I could discover everything again. But The Outer Wilds never clicked for me like that so I can understand why some people might not like it.

$100 to become a traitor to your own country?

If that’s not a cheap whore I don’t know what is.

Sounds like they’ll blend in just fine with the rest of the Russian conscripts

I’m so glad I kept my car and weathered through this shitty phase of car manufacturing.

If only there was hope for weathering through the data collection, subscription-based features and the death of sedans though…

They were born in hardship. Molded by it.

They’ll still die though.

New fear unlocked

Anything that precipitates his inevitable natural death is welcome. Even if he loses the election this asshole will divide and weaken the West as long as he draws breath.

That last one though

Considering that when people paid $100 for that OS they were told that it would be the “last Windows to be released”, shouldn’t there be a class action lawsuit?

Trump is the equivalent of a shitty seller on Ebay who has a ton of 1 star review from his verified buyers for never sending the product that they’ve paid for. It blows my mind that there are still people around willing to give working for this con artist a try.

They removed the star system a long time ago. They removed the down votes again a few years back.

They want their algorithm to be the only thing that decides whether you watch a video or not.

“countries must protect their borders from foreigners who want to cause trouble”

Australia: “ok, mate”

WTF is that Russian propaganda trash doing in my feed? Go back to lemmy.ml you tankie

In a video game, whatever allowed them to become billionaires would have been called an “exploit” and would have been nerfed in the next patch.

Channel 16 is the Naval equivalent. In North America you will occasionally hear two idiots using it to have a conversation here and there until the Coast guard dispatcher joins in and asks them what their emergency is (which usually promptly shuts them up)

In a place like the Indian Ocean however, it is non-stop chaos. It is the audio version of an unmoderated public chatroom and sounds exactly how you’d expect.

When I want to cancel I want to cancel. I don’t want to be put in line for over half an hour and then have to have a painful argument with some poor employee who gets punished if I somehow figure out the secret code that makes them cancel the account. And then have to do it all over again one month later because the account didn’t cancel because of “technical problems”.
