- Comment on Starfield's abandoned gore and dismemberment system sure would have made it less grey 1 week ago:
As far as I know there have been no meaningful changes to the game other than the addition of a ground vehicle and the dlc everyone seems to hate.
I really really really really wanted to like the game, but the bean counters won again and had an incredibly soulless safe product released for all audiences. As they say, a game for everyone is a game for no one. :/
The way I got around what you mentioned in the spoiler was to just save my second playthrough as the “real one” so what you do still mattered.

…I may or may not have just bought a new NVME drive so I could handle the lorerim mod and not have to delete everything else on my drive.
500GB total is pretty disgusting for a mod to be honest.

- Comment on Iraq War was preceded by the largest worldwide non-violent protests in history and the war happened anyway. 5 weeks ago:
I was just recently informed of a podcast called “blowback” the other day on Lemmy and their first season actually goes into Iraq and the lead up to it. It’s a very good podcast for anyone interested in the topic of American intervention in other countries. Very well produced for the subject matter.
Long story short there was nothing that was going to stop us from going after Iraq. “We” wanted that for a long time and it’s not just a simple “cuz oil” thing.
- Comment on If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation? 5 weeks ago:
Depends on the structure of the simulation. If it’s general enough then they didn’t specifically plan to have this capacity, it’s just the result of the inputs and constraints of the simulation.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 1 month ago:
It’s so fucking disgusting to be honest… I’m just a worthless dumb shit uneducated factory worker and at 17 I could see right through that garbage… I was going to join the military after highschool to get training since I’m poor and had no real direction to gamble on college, and then take it from there whether to stay in or not.
Once talk started of invading Iraq I immediately said fuccccck that. I still blame Bush partially for my current situation. :/

- Comment on Disney Said to be Considering a Surprising Replacement for Bob Iger: EA CEO Andrew Wilson - IGN 2 months ago:
Man it’s weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams “funny feeling” this morning and he has a line about “Robert (Bob) Igers face” and I thought hmm I actually don’t get that, I don’t know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol
- Comment on THE HECK? Documents show FEMA official ordered workers to ignore houses with Trump signs 2 months ago:
… because right wing people have been threatening FEMA officials because of bullshit lies about immigrants taking enough FEMA money stopping FEMA from helping “real Americans” and helping immigrants “invade.” This what happens when disinformation goes too far…

Looks like I’ll be cancelling my already stupidly expensive Internet service… I hate these fucking people…
Back to the stone age with all of their fucked up “policies.”

If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?
Tech CEOs: Who the fuck cares? I got my ad revenue, I couldn’t care less about society.
- Comment on 4 or more hours of daily screen time linked to more anxiety and depression in teens, data shows 2 months ago:
I’d be curious to know the relation between that and simply watching the news. Maybe it’s not social media, or screen time, but simply being aware of the state of everything that is linked to anxiety and depression.

- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 2 months ago:
The east end actually is considered rural, at least according to ups/postal deliveries lol
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 2 months ago:
Yes, people from cities moving to rural towns does impact housing prices which should be a net benefit for the town as it bring in income from outside. It could be a negative when the volume of outsiders is high enough to displace long term residents, but in a vacuum people moving into an area that isn’t overpopulated already should be a good thing.
It’s absolutely a negative for those in the area. I’m literally priced out of the entirety of long Island now. There is literally nowhere I can afford that isn’t in an uninsurable flood zone and I’m too “worthless” to move. Anywhere with work for someone like me is just a shithole city so I just move from renting to renting in a worse environment. :/
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 2 months ago:
I get roasted for this every time I mention it because I think people on sites like this generally fit in this category and feel personally attacked, but I honestly believe a large part of it is from WFH becoming more widespread during COVID. People were able to leave the large cities where their jobs were all located and could move wherever they wanted to so that competition for housing drives prices way way up. The few friends I do have all work in software development and all moved during COVID away from their offices and into houses. They all had a similar story “the realtor told me any house that’s on the market for more than 5 days has a major issue, stay away from those.”
Tie that into the expansion of investment companies buying houses with the intent of renting them forever and the NIMBYism that keeps new construction from being made because “My PrOpErTy VaLuE!” and it’s just a recipe for disaster…
I hate that I’m going to be stuck renting someone’s garage or basement and paying their mortgage in rent prices for the rest of my life…

Ahh negativity bias, my other middle name.

- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 2 months ago:
There is no amount that could answer that because the Ad profit is on top of the already existing product. It would always be viewed as a “loss.”
Not that they’re losing on the cost of operations and development of the OS, but because the ad revenue is in addition to the product…
Greed fucking greed fucking greed. Greed turtles all the way down…

I was punished for an entire summer and made to sit at the kitchen table and read every day so I read through my mom’s anne rice vampire books (could never get through memnock the devil though it was so boring) so needless to say this was extra funny to me!
Thanks for the laugh and the reminder of that summer! Remember to smash that like button and subscribe!

That is true, I was just trying to think of some possible reason to want to be hidden. I didn’t even realize they were filming people until the OP replied to me. That made it way worse :/
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
What evidence do we have that this is real life???
Donald Trump could very well win. That’s proof this is reality, because any movie maker worth their weight in salt would never have such a cartoonishly horrible person be a viable candidate in a realistic setting lol
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Ohhhh that’s even darker than I dared to guess… Voter intimidation? They’re probably looking for “illegal voting” and know their actions are frowned upon by most so they dont want people to recognize them in town.
Kinda really stupid because you immediately draw attention to yourself dressed like that… But then again the type of person who falls for the Trump election lie doesn’t exactly have logic listed among their strengths…

I’m thinking they might be ghosts! It’s close to Halloween and they sometimes creep out of the graveyards to illegally vote and steal our democracy!!!
Lol seriously though, if I had to guess it’s just people wearing ghost costumes for Halloween even though it’s slightly early.

I mean other than being an asshole, he isn’t wrong. We’re going to lose because of the electoral college (but mostly because of Citizens United and propaganda…)
