They asked about school shootings, not mass shooting.

There is nothing literally taken from minecraft. All the textures are original, and not even that similar to minecraft. I’ve talked with people like you before who just has no fucking clue about something that is so obvious to just about everyone else when it comes to stuff like this. It’s very clearly NOT minecraft, nothing in anything shown in the images or anywhere else from the game gives any hint at stolen models, textures etc. There are tons of block games like this and many that look way more similar but those have never gotten a DMCA.

Did you miss the “autoplay and highly personalised recommender system”? Those are the two big major differences and what makes people so addicted to tiktok etc. in a much worse way than forums in all forms (like reddit and lemmy). Reddit and Lemmy doesn’t have any thing that curates what you see based on your habits, that’s done by yourself or not at all.

I actually made three new friends on new years eve completely through mentioning Linux. We were at a party and I had a really bad year last year so I was rusty in the “talking to people” department, the few people I knew there, who are indie games devs that don’t use Linux, said something (can’t remember exactly what) that made me reply with a Linux joke and those three people moved their chairs closer to me with a “ooooh, a linux nerd, let’s fucking go” energy. We went on such a nerd dive that they party host told us that we aren’t allowed to talk Linux anymore or we’d have to leave.
We talked a lot more through the night and had to really concentrate to not get thrown out, haha.

That really doesn’t fit here IMO. It took decades of bullshit, law breaking, blatant spying, hostile persuasion etc. of US IT being forced onto the world, and without Trump and the fucking nightmare circus that’s going on this wouldn’t have happened. The world would have kept bending the knee and even inviting all of it forever, it took THIS MUCH to get the world to take a step back and realise that this isn’t a good thing.

They could remove that competition by making a better product, but that is somehow always the last thing they’d ever think about. It never stops being so fucking weird with all these business people who go to great lengths to do shitty stuff and always end up making it worse for everyone except a quick buck for themselves, even though they could easily make a lot more for a longer time by simply doing a good job. But no, that would require anything other than immediate greed. Absolutely vile people.

The Oblivion remaster is a lot more than just modern graphics though… There are a ton of completely changed mechanics, new ones and others that are just tweaked. It’s very much not just a graphical refresh.

How is this a TIL? There are hundreds of games released every day, obviously just about any word combination with one word being different will exist.

Meaning it’s not full SS… And don’t misunderstand me here, they’re very much on the SS path, it’s just very clear what they meant and I feel you deliberately chose to not get that.

It’s not even about anyone daring to question the authority, it’s anyone who they decide in that very moment is a threat (based on no logic at all). There are so many videos of American cops demanding people to do things they clearly can’t do or just are impossible to do, like two different things that are exclusive to each other. And tons of other videos of people doing exactly what they’re told but no the cop(s) already decided that they’re a threat no matter what.

Nah, time travel and transrace!

Because the poll just ended… it’s been opt out since before the poll and nothing has changed, yet (if anything does change). How is this not obvious?

Quite*

I don’t see how few comments is a bad thing? Do you really sit and scroll through the vile idiocy that is tiktok comments? Nowhere does more comments etc. mean it’s better. If anything less people is good.

Not at all, it’s mostly due to how easy it is to fake now. There are still lots of sightings, especially of UFOs but very rarely do they go “viral”. And the vast majority are pretty easily explained which happens a ton with both new and old ones. But then there are others where all we can do is go “huh, that’s weird”.
I’m far from a conspiracist but there are things that are just so odd that it’s hard to explain. Doesn’t mean it’s aliens though, obviously. And as we can’t just go back in time to discover what it was there’s nothing to do about it.

Or just the screenshot button that’s on almost all keyboards… and cyberpunk has a built in photo mode, as most games do, which would have worked just as well.

Did you somehow miss the anti-ICE demonstrations throughout most of the US the other day? Something that’s been widely reported both in MSM and everywhere else (including here, being at the top of all several times). And I’m not even American and saw it everywhere for a couple of days. Yeah, there are some people who root for ICE, but it’s not even close to “most”. Same as some still like Trump, but the majority hate him.

Herbivores*

How has no one said this yet? All this talk about what defines they eat and not one person who said the most obvious thing, something that everyone should know.

My younger half brother, 13yo, just bought a PC with his own money that he’d saved for years. He gave me a link to one and I told him he can easily get much better specs than that for the same price, and told him I’ll help him get the parts and build it. He told me he would and then about a week ago he told me he’d just bought the one he found at first… I just feel like saying “that was dumb, now you’ll have to spend more sooner to upgrade because it can barely handle the games you wanted it for.” but I won’t, not that harshly at least. Still think he should have just given the money to our mom or his dad so they could have stopped this from happening.

Both.
