- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 4 hours ago:
There were multiple endings depending on the choices you make throughout the game. Same for the two DLCs.
The ‘good’ endings were in the base game she confronts the winter and succeeds, returns to Geralt as a father figure, and lives on as a witcher. Then in the Blood & Wine DLC, Geralt basically retires in his own vineyard.

They need to release a fake “Witcher 4” that’s just an older Geralt moping around his vineyard bitching about how his knees hurt. All of his quests would be things like pestering his workers about how badass he used to be, going to town to return a watermelon to the fruit vendor because of a mushy spot he didn’t notice when he purchased it, shit like that.
All the while, the townsfolk would slip idle chatter about crazy shit that Ciri’s doing off camera.

Start Citizen looked so fucking cool when it was announced like 15 years ago. Since then it’s dipped lower and lower every single time new info comes out.
Like, the hopefully dumbasses that got burned initially like my dumb ass did with No Man’s Sky, I kinda get… but how the absolute fuck are they still getting sales?? Are there seriously still people that don’t know it’s a scam?

On the flip side, keeping your personal online footprint small is definitely more secure.
Maybe we need a soft kill switch to disassociate content with an account after x amount of time. Like for me personally, I’ve put zero effort into mopping up old content, and as often as I post, I’m sure someone with the desire could put the pieces together and dox me.
I’ve left it up anyway cuz I don’t want to do to Lemmy what you’re concerned about, but if I could nuke all my content older than a few months into an anonymous version, I’d be all for that. Leave the info up for anyone who might benefit from it.
That said, for community building sake, I’d hate to see posts go anonymous right out the gate like some 4chan shit; and posts should be associated with an account at least long enough for mods to have a reasonable amount of time to take action against an account that breaks the rules. But again, posts that are months old? The conversation there is over - my personal involvement is moot at that point, it’s just data now.

$800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks
Cybertrucks aren’t worth the glass of the molotovs that ignite them.
Worth and cost are not synonyms.

It was posted 8 years ago, so slightly easier to gather up those relics then.
If I had to guess, the guy might have worked IT for a school or something that went through a modernization, with all the old tech going to the dumpster; got the idea and jumped on it.

Hey a dopamine hit is a dopamine hit. Someone liking your post enough to upvote it is basically getting an internet first-bump. It’s not much, but getting that approval from people does feel good.

I use Amazon like a search engine - find a few options for a product I’m looking for, go to the websites for options that look good, narrow it down to the one I want to actually buy, then order it directly from the manufacturer.
Fuck actually buying anything from Amazon.

A co-worker accused me of “Trump derangement syndrome”, and I just started spitting out a list of “Yeah! Kinda like how US troops had Osama bin Laden derangement syndrome! Or how 1930s Jews had Hitler derangement syndrome! Or how Oklahoma City had Timothy McVey derangement syndrome! Or how Union forces had slavery derangement syndrome! …ya starting to understand how fucking stupid that sounds?”
…and no, it didn’t shut him up, he just deflected to another topic, but that’s about as close as you can get to progress when debating these fucking morons.

I can’t stress enough that I’m a tech, the rock bottom of the OR foodchain, so my understanding is limited …and even if I was claiming to be some kind of doctor, I’m still just a random internet stranger, so some healthy skepticism is encouraged regardless. BUT I’ve spent most of the past decade working in rooms full of brilliant people, so I’ve picked a few things up during that time, so: some of what you’re describing is normal, like waking up during sedation, but some of it has me scratching my head. Like, there shouldn’t (dangerous word, I know) be a situation where you’re sedated and paralyzed, cuz that’s a recipe for the nightmare fuel this thread is talking about. If you wake up from sedation, you might feel groggy and like heavy limbs or not just lack the desire to move like when your alarm is going off in the morning and you’re just lying there in a state of apathy for a minute mourning the loss of your sleep… but… if you make a conscious effort to move or speak, you should (*) be able to.
And again, not saying none of that ever happened; it’d just be super abnormal to the extent of suspecting some kind of literal physiologic anomaly (which is possible!) or some kind of borderline criminal incompetence (or actual malice) on the part of your anesthesiologist.

Yeah that’s super fucked up, and kinda roots back to your right as a patient to informed consent. Office staff shouldn’t be giving any kind of medical advice - if you have a question about a med, that’s their cue to call in a nurse or doc to come talk to you.
