“We just have to stick with him and things will get better.” - Loser Conservatives

I work on a help desk. We hired multiple Zoomers and they literally don’t understand how computers work. They don’t know what the registry is. Or what POST means. Or how to properly back up a user’s data without using automated software.

They’re fucking dumb. Nice. But dumb.

The SS1 remake was pretty damn good.

The thing about remakes though is they can lose what made the original good. So while someone who never played the original might really like the remake, a die-hard that’s always liked the original may feel kind of betrayed by the remake.

I never played SS1, so the remake was something new for me and I liked it. But I grew up with and revere SS2 as being one of the best games ever made. So I’m almost kind of glad this is just a remaster and not a remake.

LET’S GO!!!

Finally gave Star Citizen a shot a few months ago when it had a free week.

It was awful.

It looked great. Everything else was dogshit. The inventory system was trash. Everything, and I mean everything, was beyond tedious. The game felt very empty. Movement didn’t feel good. Bugs galore.

And that’s after well over a decade of development.

Pass on this hot garbage.

My friend with young cousins was telling me that kids are using “sigma” instead of “cool” now?

“That’s so sigma, bruh.”

The fuck?

I couldn’t do the fetch quests and just clicking on boxes for combat.

That’s literally all MMO’s.

I would hope someone takes this world and updates the graphics

They did at one point years ago. It looks a lot better than it used to. But they’ve pretty much maxed out what that engine can do. It’s not going to get better looking.

It’s the only MMO I play largely for the lore and because it’s the largest non-procedural game world ever created and I love getting “lost” in it. But they’ve already completed the LoTR storyline and while the new areas they’re adding still look great, the stories and quests are getting pretty boring. Gameplay is getting boring too. I haven’t purchased the newest expansion and I’m not sure I’m going to. Been playing for years, so feels a little weird to just quit.

They pissed me off when they completely re-worked the Loremaster class. So annoying to play now.

I remember liking it, but it’s been, what, 20 years?

Thx. Fixed. Posted this while multi-tasking.

Fighting fascism is timeless.

I browsed through it and most of it is still applicable.

Thanks for the comment. It clued me in to the fact that the thumbnail image I uploaded replaced the link I had to the manual at gutenberg.org. It’s fixed now. No IP tracking from Gutenberg.

Also should point out that we’re moving into a political climate in the U.S. where everyone should have a VPN and use it whenever possible.

No. But they expect everyone else to.

I asked what specifically you had an issue with, and gave three possibilities. Which one are you saying no to?

I said “no” because I mean NO to all three. I’m not typing it 3 times for you. You are not important enough to me to say no to each of your questions. You get one no, because I utterly disagree with you, in a sweeping manner.

Genocide is not infinitely better than genocide.

Sure it is, when the alternative is a WORSE genocide. Are you so simple that you can’t grasp that death and lots more death are different things with different degrees of severity? You keep saying hefty words like “evasion” and “delusional”, but you’re an individual that can’t tell the difference between a person that expresses their disapproval directly to the person committing a horrific act and a person that says “full steam ahead” to that person. So I’m going to use a hefty word on you. Ignorant.

Again - genocide is not a “single issue”.

Yes, it actually, literally is.

It shows that on the spectrum of morality, a politician is at absolute zero.

Yes. The world is black and white. There are no shades of grey. To simpletons.

If war crimes, or what you perceive to be war crimes, remove a candidate from contention for you, then you’d never vote for another president, ever. Very mature stance you’ve taken there.

If you vote for someone like that, no much how much anguish you supposedly subject yourself to while you’re doing it, you’re a fool and a useful idiot at best

Or you’re simply an adult trying to make sure the significantly worse option doesn’t become reality.

But you, you are simply someone sitting on the fence, dishing out morality from what you believe is your high horse.

Because your alternative to voting for 2 “genociders” is to either not vote or vote 3rd party, which are unquestionably stupid things to do. Why? Because not voting is profoundly stupid. And voting for a 3rd party that CANNOT win, is also profoundly stupid. The 3rd party candidate with the most votes only got half of a single percentage of the total votes. A 3rd party CAN NOT WIN.

So excuse me if I’m tired of listening to someone pretending they’re a moral authority while contributing absolutely nothing to the situation, at all.

First of all, just because he did something good

He didn’t. You’re just ignorant.

So far this new president helped stop the genocide that Biden was supporting.

I’ll take “Utterly Moronic Comments Stated Unironically” for $500, Alex.

No.

I’m being an adult that accepts the reality I live in.

In that reality there is basically no scenario where America gives up its most important long-term ally in the Middle East over a never-ending religious conflict they’re having with someone else.

So, being that’s the reality we live in, I can determine that the situation is INFINITELY better off in the hands of one party than the other. So I voted for that party to mitigate the damage that we’re now going to see due to a bunch of idiots that didn’t want to accept the reality they lived in and ended up making the very thing they cared about worse.

I also voted for that party because I’m not a moron single issue voter and I know there’s a lot else at stake right here at home.

I mean if we’re taking 2024 as a lesson, I guess Democrats should run a campaign of non-stop fear and hatred based propaganda lies.

Apparently that’s what gets votes in America.

Agree with most of what you’re saying except

see them doggedly defend Biden for stiffing college debtors

Biden did more for college debtors than any president, ever. Did he entirely eliminate college debt? No. No one who was critically thinking actually thought that was going to happen, because what was probably going to happen was what ended up happening. A bunch of roadblocks got thrown in his way, including the Supreme Court. But he still eliminated many millions of dollars in college debt for a lot of people.

There’s no doubt that the Democratic party is not particularly great at running campaigns. But that doesn’t absolve the American populace from their duty to be reasonably informed. The Democratic party can run a dogshit campaign and people who are reasonably informed can still look at the hard data and see which party is a better bet for the economy and average Americans.

And to be clear, in a sane world, they did run a better campaign than the Republicans who ran on hate, fear, and absolute ridiculousness. IMMIGRANTS ARE EATING PEOPLE’S PETS IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

That shit worked because Americans are pretty goddamn stupid. That’s not the Democrat’s fault, especially since they actually vote in favor of our educational system instead of trying to privatize it, like Republicans. The brunt of this shitshow we find ourselves in falls squarely on American voters and their lack of education/morals.

Yup. I hope the “Biden is committing genocide” and “Dems didn’t solve every problem known to man” are happy with their new president they helped elect.
