If I care enough about a game to pay $70 for it, I want to own it. And I want to be able to let a friend borrow it. And I want to be able to sell it.
I know people like their convenience. But I don’t really understand it either unless it’s a game you might want to play in the spur of the moment (Call of Duty or something like that). If I’m playing a longish story-heavy, I’m just leaving that disc in my console for awhile.
They made that ad and released it the same day after Xbox announced their disc games would be one-time use activation keys.
I think it’s probably more focused on those impacted most and (unfortunately) where the most sympathy is.
A lot of transphobia is under the guise of women’s rights (sports, bathrooms). But also, anyone can (usually) participate it men’s sports and men are generally not threatened by someone using the men’s bathroom. That doesn’t always apply. But it’s usually women who suffer the most.
If a Colorado court can decide to remove a candidate, then all the republicans need to do is get a majority in the courts of swing states and they would forever have the presidency.
It should be up SCOTUS to validate or invalidate Colorado’s findings. It would never be Colorado as the final word. That’s how the courts already work. Lower courts rule and higher courts can take further action if needed.
I’m all for SCOTUS reform though.
Ideally the courts would rule on it and it would be up to congress with a supermajority to reverse it.
To be clear, a court did rule that he committed treason and was barred from running. SCOTUS did not say they were wrong, they only stated that they (the fucking courts) did not have the power to APPLY THE CONSTITUTION.
So yeah. It would be up to the courts to apply the constitution and SCOTUS would have the final word. I’m not sure why it would be any different from any other ammendment.
I don’t support the death penalty because those individuals are no threat to society, many of them are innocent, and the government shouldn’t have that kind of power when it’s unnecessary.
None of that applies. Also, I don’t wish him dead. I just want him gone. The method of his removal is just a secondary concern.
Technically he’s barred from office per the 14th amendment.
Technically is great until it’s ignored.
The two worst reactions that I saw were gaming and NFL. You’re right that most of the subs were fine. It’s the big ones that were addictive to a point I didn’t realize until something happened.
Some of my favorite subs would have a total meltdown, like end of the world shit, because it closed for 24 hours. Then when the app bans happened, there were the blackouts and once again, people were angry at the audacity of the mods not being submissive.
They want their content above literally anything else. Take it away for a moment and their entire world collapses. And when you see the all consuming, brain-dead, content they were viewing, AND THE IMPORTANCE THEY PUT ON IT, it’s no wonder why they have the reputation they do. That was very sobering.
I think even 10 years ago Reddit was a lot bigger. The niche subs still had some traction. Like, Morrowind there 10 years ago had more stuff than the Elder Scrolls community here does. (I could be misremembering, but that feels right.)
BUT you’re right that it wasn’t endless filler back then. There was an end, and then you were done.
What I hate about Lemmy is the lack of content in semi-specific communities.
What I love about Lemmy is that there’s so much less content overall. I run out of content and I log off. Reddit was a bottomless pit.
Banning 3rd party apps was the tipping point for me. Their official app is shit.
Playing one of the big multiplayer arcade cabinets like Simpsons or X-Men was the original couch co-op with whoever was at the arcade not playing pinball or pool.
I bought the 4-Player co-op X-Men arcade cabinet from Arcade1up and it’s been a blast playing it all the way through with my son.
No. It could create a security breach. It DOES pose a security risk.
Most awe inspiring: Morrowind
Most depth of interest: Final Fantasy X
Most emotional impact: The Last of Us
Bloody scenes? The whole game is made up of bloody scenes unless you’re intentionally avoiding doing the finishers. And even then it’s just less so.
Business/tech conservatives fucking love them. And a lot of apathetic Americans (which is most) literally do not care about any of the Elon stuff. They just see an EV car.
Now, the only market for Cybertrucks are the douchiest rich tools. There’s other cooler EV trucks if they didn’t want to buy a drivable billboard.
…Actually, the only people who SHOULD want it are people with a business because it actually works pretty well as a drivable billboard.
So, similar to the non-conforming clothing bill that was changed to be obscene clothing because the former was blatantly unconstitutional (although I’m surprised they didn’t want the fight).
Except that was targeted at everyone (specifically drag, but all ages) where this targets kids. So I’m guessing the argument is “child abuse”.
It’s on sale on PSN. I might actually pick it up now.
Oblivion may have technically better graphics. But it’s ugly. Everything is orange and shiny.
Plus the level scaling is the worst in any game I’ve ever played, by far. And level scaling is already not a great system.
Morrowind is dated, but still has a great look. The gameplay is tough at first glance, but is the foundation of a great role playing system.
Oblivion needs a remake more.
