- Comment on Cities Skylines II is an absolutely beautiful game 1 year ago:
People really hate that you didn’t pay full price for this game they all are shitting on, huh?
- Comment on 'This is only the beginning': Metal Gear Solid fans lose their minds as David Hayter returns to voice Solid Snake in a new teaser 1 year ago:
No, that was just the first time he actually paid attention to the English VA. Kojima never paid much attention to the English VA in the MGS games. The Japanese VA had some interesting tricks like having the Solid Snake VA also voice Solidus and then having his father voice Old Snake for MGS4 (while the original did the mo-cap).
Rumour is that Kojima never really liked Hayter as Snake. And Hayter’s VA quality kept getting worse and worse. Compare his Peace Walker performance to MGS2, it’s like night and day.
- Comment on New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safe 1 year ago:
The fact that “believe” is the operating word here is why medical science should be spread.
- Comment on Complaints about poor NHS dental services rise 66% in five years 1 year ago:
You really have to think all US hospitals and healthcare looks like it does on TV to believe this.
- Comment on What android phones do you recommend and why? 1 year ago:
I had that with my original Pixel but Google replaced the phone under warranty up to two years later.
- Comment on They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust. 1 year ago:
IIRC this happens in the show or book of Station Eleven where a kid saves Wikipedia offline on his PS Vita (somehow) and it’s the only version of it out there post-apocalypse.
- Comment on Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains science 1 year ago:
He’s way more full of himself than most entertainers. That’s what makes him so unlikeable to many.
- Comment on Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia 1 year ago:
Stop giving the attention whore attention.
- Comment on Panik 1 year ago:
This is a shitpost
- Comment on AirVPN discloses server seized in 2015 1 year ago:
Seven years is the standard government record retention period in Ontario, where the server was taken from.
- Comment on AirVPN discloses server seized in 2015 1 year ago:
Seven years is standard for gov record retention. It probably wasn’t their timeline.
- Comment on Looks like someone figured out a workaround for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 offline mode on Windows 1 year ago:
It’s just an environment variable?? If that’s all it takes, there’s no reason this can’t have been implemented across the board.
- Comment on [HN] YouTube de-monetize journalist Richard Medhurst for reporting on Palestine 1 year ago:
Just because you hear those words a lot doesn’t mean you should go around saying it.
- Comment on Russia and China-backed hackers are exploiting WinRAR zero-day bug 1 year ago:
Yes, WinRAR asks for money.
- Comment on Some Walmart employees say customers are getting hostile at self-checkout — and they blame anti-theft tech 1 year ago:
Hostile to the point of attacking the employees?
- Comment on CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024 | Schreier: Kotick will depart after 33 years, employees are "very excited." 1 year ago:
I’ve never seen any other industry be bewildered by the idea of caveat emptor as much as gamers. My favourite are the ones that act as if Steam allowing bad quality games on their store is a bad thing because it means they could spend their money on a bad game. The idea of “just don’t buy it” is a mystery to them.
- Comment on CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024 | Schreier: Kotick will depart after 33 years, employees are "very excited." 1 year ago:
A big upgrade.
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 1 year ago:
Maybe. But in this case, this person is in good company about their approach to free speech since it’s the same thing every celebrated free speech thinker also said. Them being part of Hexbear is immaterial to the thought expressed, which is not a Tankie thought.
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 1 year ago:
Hexbear does encourage reading the original material instead of others people’s thoughts on them. A lot of free speech diehards would be gobsmacked if they ever really read all the defining arguments for free speech and realized that they all have railguards suggested.
- Comment on In a leaked memo, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke put limits on employees having side hustles, saying Shopify requires 'unshared attention' 1 year ago:
They and their companies don’t make headlines.
- Comment on Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough” 1 year ago:
How can wokeness be a specific academic concept? That doesn’t make sense, CRT is CRT and it’s just an academic lens.
But what are some examples of social inequalities that are not inherently bad? Your other examples are not social inequalities. You’re looking at something like suggesting what kinds of systematic racism are good actually, not looking at things like the difference in pay between an engineer and a janitor.
- Comment on Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough” 1 year ago:
Wait, what is woke then
- Comment on Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter? 1 year ago:
Don’t give him ideas.
- Comment on 'A cavity is not a vagina': Trans woman refused healthcare in France 1 year ago:
It’s like everyone from aussie.zone is a capital G too.
- Comment on YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead 1 year ago:
Utilities aren’t the same thing as platforms.
But giant media platforms run by giant tech corportations who have repeatwdly shown that they don’t give a shit about people? If they’re not putting railguards on their algorithm and content out of choice and are consequently creating mass murderers, then they should be regulated to have some railguards.
No corporation has proven that it will make the best choices for society, it’s up to people to force them to.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
What makes this rightoid lunatic right here but not some other rightoid lunatic situation? These people lie and manipulate information all the time to make false conclusions, that’s their whole MO.
Why should we assume that he’s right in this case and that it’s not yet another case of right wing misinformation?
- Comment on As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲 1 year ago:
So many FOSS evangelists sound more like “What do you mean making a website costs more than $20?” types than they realize.
