I mean, reading that sentence, it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if they omitted it just to spite the British.

Yeah, it’s unfortunate that death-cults preaching about the poison of reality are really bad at surviving through time.

What? it looks fine to me, outside of the general difficulty of reading regex. I mean, it’s not meant to be readable, it’s meant to catch all the different spellings if what they want to filter and do so.

This almost feels like bait, your instance is Lemmy.ml. The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, your home instance is literally the home for far-left ideology. You’ll still see a leftist bant for the reasons commenters have mentioned, but the single biggest reason is that your instance is owned and operated by them.

I’m interested to see what changes they’ll be making from 6 to 7. 6 was kinda panned on release, and games like Humankind and Age of Wonders 4 have introduced serious competition to the 4x genre in the years since.

Did he… have a daughter? I remember him being a very burnt out lonely man full of ennui, I guess in my head that meant he never had kids or married

Also that means this canonically takes place after Borderlands 1, but Atlas still has a presence on Pandora?

They’ve genderswapped Knoxx and had to create a man named Atlas to be the face of the corporation? what the hell are they even adapting? just an original story using names we know?

People love “Are We The Baddies” and “Vectron” and even the sneaky “Do You Do Poison,” but this is my vote for the best Mitchell and Webb sketch. Just hilarious.

Yeah it’s because Americans are fucking terrible at governing.

The vast, vast majority of Americans do not care about their elected officials. Most do not even know who they are, and just vote based on party affiliation or don’t vote at all. Our government structure also fundamentally doesn’t work, and we would be far better served adopting a parliamentary system like the rest of the developed world, but nobody cares enough to do anything. Our courts are corrupt thanks to Donald Trump, gerrymandering means our elections are hardly fair, the list goes on.

America has an apathetic government that accomplishes very little and is easily captured by hostile forces because it is exactly the level of government Americans are willing to put in the effort for.

The Sims 2 Castaway is basically the proto survival crafting game. It’s kinda cool to see the classic Sim stats get used in such a different way. I sometimes wish EA would return to those days of selling spinoff Sim games like Castaway and the Urbz, rather than just dumping every single new idea they get into one game as DLC.

ugh, why does it have to be self aware enough that they’re filming a B movie. Is Cocaine Werewolf not a deep enough premise for 90 minutes anymore?

but WayneTech didn’t deliver!

As my partner always says, “A ho is never cold.”

There certainly was a “golden age of gaming,” where the cost for a studio to exist and make a game was pretty low and they were more willing to experiment. The thing people forget is that there was so, so, so much trash and shovelware made during that era as well. We remember the incredible game that innovated and drove the medium forward, and we forget the movie tie-ins and genre knockoffs.

These days, AAA has forgotten how to innovate, and nearly all of it is being driven by indie titles. This is because, once again, the cost to develop is now so low that literally anyone can do it. The amount of trash and shovelware we’re getting is almost ludicrous though, so it’s a lot harder to find the great titles that are overlooked, but extremely high quality has a remarkable way of cutting through the noise.

It kinda “blows my mind” that nobody has done a dark comedy about the assassination. It’s one of those tales that is just loaded with goofs and fuckups, and then through sheer luck and happenstance the assassin got an opening. I’ve always loved the idea of multiple dueling time travelers all messing with each other resulting in the history we got.

I think this is a little disingenous. Plenty of leftists are academics who have studied economic/political theory. If you’re already willing to put yourself through reading Marx, you’re probably also the type who’s willing to read Milton.

Have you already read through Plan 2025? It’s kinda the latest huge report from the Heritage Foundation, and I’d say it does a pretty good job of outlining modern right-wing ideology. It can definitely be a hard read though, some of the things they want are really stomach churning to me.

LORE OF METAL!

And I’d do it again.

I am a pretty tall, broadly built man, so obv I’m a little biased because I’m reasonably confident that I could kill another man if it came to it. However, the concept of this question bothers me, because it doesn’t indicate what kind of bear. Trust me, if you ever come face to face with a fully grown grizzly, you’d prefer the man. Monsters are real, and they can destroy you on accident, while men have weak necks and unprotected kidneys.

If I was dead either way though, obv I’d rather it be an emotionless grizzly who’d tear me apart pretty quickly.

There doesn’t seem to be anything offered by the rental company I’m currently with, and I’ve never heard of concept before. There are security deposits, which you do typically receive at the end of the lease, but most of the ones here are non-refundable, and I did have to pay one of those as well.
