Easy: unjust, unfair, dumb.
Nazis easily pretend to be the nice people following the rules and if you get angry you’re the bad one. Don’t be nice to Nazis. Yell at them, insult them, punch them. Enforcing laws to protect oppressors is nothing more than protecting oppressors. “The only legitimate violence is state violence” and all that propaganda.
The Nazis are the ones breaking the “be nice” rule in the first place, they just do it while speaking nicely, they talk about enforcing rules and protecting order, but somehow they always dodge the question of how many people their order is killing. That’s not being nice. The rule is only there to forbid you for fighting back.
If you think that the “be nice” rule should punish calls to take down Israel or contest german support for the genocide, but not punish that same support for the genocide because it’s nice and polite… You’re just protecting the genocide. It doesn’t matter if anti-genocide comments are not nice enough for you - they shouldn’t have to be nice. Especially not when the German government literally makes it illegal to denounce Israel, even nicely.

Again, only because you are picking a very reductive surface level quote.
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 3 days ago:
You are reducing both sides to an extreme and extracting a single quote from both of them - “corporate media is lying to you to protect politicians preying on children” . You understand that one side is right and the other isn’t - where do you think the difference appears? Certainly not at the extreme surface level of a single quote you are picking.

It’s not announced yet but it’s almost guaranteed to come out next year.
- Comment on ‘Textbook definition of terrorism’: Tehran denounces Pelosi’s call for US to exact ‘pain’ on ordinary Iranians 1 week ago:
Apparently this is coming from a Politico interview on feb. 13 in the Munich conference where she said “just weaken their economy, because they do have support in rural areas, make them feel the pain as well” (I’m only finding videos on Facebook and Instagram for the moment) and she was saying this in the context of stopping military actions, so there’s some twisting of words going on.

You are talking about the business extension that was already available everywhere, but it requires buying it. The article is talking about Germany and the free version that Europe forced Microsoft to enable for everyone, even without a subscription - but only in Europe. That one is only one year.
- Comment on Leaked Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Test Presentation Impreses After Cancellation 3 weeks ago:
The Sands of Time remake was announced years ago and a lot of players were really looking forward to it, it was one of their most popular games. That talked about it a couple times in recent years, but they announced its cancellation the other day.
I liked the '08 game a lot more, and I’m not super fond of the designs they’re showing in this leak, but it’s clear that they were treating it as a decent remake but not AAAA graphics, just a nice upgrade making it look 10 years old instead of 20 years old, and the higher-ups want more of the next gen visuals slop and called it “doesn’t meet our standards”.

For the record, I’m basing this on the movie, idk if the comic is fundamentally different or mostly aesthetically so.
The main difference was he didn’t nuke various cities, but created some giant mutant psychic squid and teleported it on New York, killing millions (somehow, between the splash and the dying psychic squid causing mass mind liquefaction), and making the world think they were being attacked by some space alien, rather than making Dr. Manhattan the enemy. Movie version was quite a nice twist.
Killing the people has never been proven to be a very effective way to stop a rogue government, if the government is not physically impacted by random civilians getting killed, however many of them are killed. But in Watchmen, he didn’t simply kill civilians - he faked a common threat that the governments would be afraid of to divert their attention. Space squids in the comics, Dr. Manhattan going biblical in the movie. Depends how hard the governments buy it. In the movie, Dr. Manhattan siding with that idea means he could probably sell it well enough to make it believable - giving the world an ultimatum after someone else already pressed the button. Who knows about the squid version. The conclusion given in the comics / movie is that he was kinda right as long as Dr. Manhattan said screw it and supported it (mass slaughter notwithstanding, of course). The whole premise also does rely on the inevitability of shit hitting the fan, which… yeah, world with or without superpowers, it’s hard to reject that notion. But today? Who knows if some sort of walking god nuke just glassing Moscow, Washington, and a bunch of other big capitals would even be enough to curb down the delusions of our major fascist nazi nutcases, outside of actually vaporizing the entirety of their armies, including the fascists in chief themselves in all countries.

What do you mean? Capcom immediately announced it as classic Mega Man 12, and showed gameplay too, no one is expecting it to be Legends 3.

Nintendo got a Gamecube emulator running on the NVidia Shield, in China only. The version of TP released on it got upscaled textures - different from the Wii U HD version. Never went anywhere else. This was around 2019.

My first assumption giving them the benefit of the doubt would be that it’s a rhetorical question to point out that there is a proper response and the car should have been taught to do that instead. Even if a lot of actual drivers don’t know the answer.

Well, also yes, ipso facto? If we’re offspring of sapiens sapiens and sapiens neanderthalis, that means they had viable offsprings together, therefore they’re the same species, QED…

Rebirth lays the groundwork for Shinra starting a world war to generate more lifestream material (anguish of war victims) and “replenish the planet” so that they can pump out more Mako, it seems to be going pretty hardcore about Shinra being pure casual evil ultra imperialist capitalist.

How about
Middleman anonimizer, pornhub sends the message to a middleman, the middleman puts its own token on the request, sends that to the gov, the gov responds yes/no to the middleman on the authenticity of the message, the middleman forwards the response to pornhub. The gov doesn’t see pornhub, pornhub only gets the yes/no response, the middleman only sees the message with no ID and the response.

- Comment on Lara Croft is a Sociopath 4 months ago:
I think the writers pretty much admitted they had no plan for Trinity, seeing how their goal completely changed from immortality to apocalypse between Rise and Shadow. They were just the reason for Lara to track them across the world and stumble on ancient stuff.
- Comment on Lara Croft is a Sociopath 4 months ago:
I’m looking up the opening scene and I can’t find the therapy session itself. Maybe it was only in the trailer, I remember people thought it was weird when they released that trailer because it was unexpected at the time that this was the direction they were taking? But the game does have you find tapes of Lara’s recorded sessions talking with the therapist, like how she’s having control issues and it turns out she has become a different person in a bad way.
- Comment on Lara Croft is a Sociopath 4 months ago:
The third game of the reboot trilogy starts with her tracking this evil organization that’s been screwing with her family, finding the item they’re trying to steal to trigger an appocalypse, stealing it first, and almost triggering that same apocalypse because she doesn’t know what she’s doing, thinking she’s doing good. Second game also started with her tracking the same organization to figure out what they’re doing, and from that, she stumbles into some archaeology. It’s a long character arc, she learns that she can be good at figuring out ancient stuff, and she finds out the hard way that she can also fuck up badly when she doesn’t know what she’s doing. It’s supposed to end at the point where she’s mature enough to do better. We just see all the “fucking up” parts.

The second game of the reboot trilogy starts with Lara in therapy session about how she became a thrill addict from her survivor’s guilt from the first game and how she’s liking it.

That was very clearly on purpose, she starts panicking about the first guys she kills to survive, and near the end she’s screaming I’m gonna kill you all. That is the narrative arc. Welcome to trauma stories?
