People have been saying this game is exciting because of the lack of mtx, but it seems to me that any big rpg gets a lot of attention. Eldan Ring got similar praise last year. Bioware was making these kinds of games fairly consistently about a decade ago and then stopped to make shit like Anthem. It's a design decision not a budget problem.

Yes, DeSantis schtick is getting old. It's not a real policy. Most people don't even have a clear view of what woke is even supposed to mean.
Even Trump doesn't care for it.
“I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear ‘woke woke woke.’ It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is,” Donald Trump

True. Dallas and Houston have a lot of tech too, but Austin has become San Francisco 2 fairly recently. Dell was the big home grown tech company a lot of these other companies and start ups are from California. Nobody would accuse Dallas of being like San Francisco because it's more traditional corporate tech. I think sxsw attracted a lot of people from California.

Well from my perspective it's not that people hate California it's that they hate the influx of Californians in their state. Tons of tech people moved from San Francisco to Austin and now it's near unrecognizable. Austin a long time ago used to be a small city with a lot of charm now it's the tenth largest city in the US. It's not just Californians moving their but they are the biggest group and they are pretty loud about where they come from.
Everything gets more expensive, they bring some of their failed policies with them, and there are a lot of weird ideas that come out of California. I don't mean your generic lefty policies that may upset some old timers in Texas but like the weird transhumanism shit that tech people are obsessed with. It feels like a cult, another thing California is known for, and it's basically the opposite vibe of what Austin used to be. I personally have met a lot of Californians I really like but it's not hard to see the culture clash. Also when I say California I really mean San Francisco and LA, not like Sacramento or the other parts of California. It's the tech people, the Hollywood people, and the groupies they aquire. They leave California due to costs and it's somewhat chaotic nature but then start to transform their new home into California.
If you've ever met old timers in Texas you know great don't like change. They talk about building an overpass as a sign of the apocalypse. So that's where I assume most of the hate comes from.

Lemmy feels like the first real alternative to reddit. Everything else was a ghost town or had no moderation so only banned subs would move. This recent exodus won't kill reddit but it created a viable reddit alternative for when they inevitably do something worse. Reddit ran as a number 2 to digg for years before digg screwed up. I can see the same happening here.

Like calling someone a tankie, woke, or a fascist you don't really need to know the definition of money laundering. You just point it at someone you don't like and hope it catches on.

Speaking of which whatever happened to FuchsiaOS? Did they kill it? It would be a shame if they did. I was interested in it because it was an open source OS that wasn't Linux or bsd based.

I know there is some controversy with the ads and that it's closed source but wow this app is really nice. I never used it for reddit I used rif so I didn't understand the hype but I get it now. I'm holding out for an app with multireddit though. That's the one feature I really want.

Get ready for more unhinged shit like this soon because the only reason this show exists was the 2007 writers strike. If it weren't for them introducing the financial instinctive of golden stars I'm pretty sure it would have turned into Lord of the flies. The first episode they were all at each other's throats and the dynamic changed after there was a prize to be won by working together.
I'm expecting more crazy reality and game shows soon. And maybe AI tv too. Either way it's going to get weird fast. The studio executives all think of themselves as creatives and they will throw out every insane thing they can think of to get your attention.

Flatpacks give me the least trouble so I guess those. All though appimages seem alright too. Snaps however seem to never want to install. I like the idea of easy one click installs for every distro but I think we are a few years away from that.

Got to hand it to Sony for not falling for the create your own streaming app trap. Everyone else tried to battle Netflix and they are all losing even Disney. I think there will be at least 3 dead apps by the end of next year. MGM+ being an obvious one. I can see Disney+/Hulu, Max, Netflix, and maybe one other one coming out of this alive.

More tech to change things in post. I feel like Hollywood is relying too much of this kind of technology to fix poor planning and writing. Look at all reports about marvel films being radically changed in post. You can tell when a film is a patch job.

CNN —
A man dubbed “the Easter bunny” by police has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for stealing 200,000 chocolate eggs.
On February 11, 32-year-old Joby Pool stole £31,000 ($40,000) worth of Cadbury Creme Eggs, after breaking into an industrial unit and making off with the haul in a stolen truck, the PA Media news agency reported.
The milk chocolate eggs, filled with a “yolk” of yellow and white fondant, have a cult following in the UK and are exclusively sold around the Easter period.
Cadbury, which is owned by US food company Mondelez International, told CNN it sells 220 million Creme Eggs in Britain every year.
According to PA, Pool was jailed by Judge Anthony Lowe for a year and a half at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Thursday. Half of that is to be spent in prison and the other half on license, with his previous six months in custody counting toward his time behind bars.
Pool had previously pleaded guilty to theft, criminal damage and driving without insurance.
The court heard Pool had used a stolen tractor to tow the trailer full of eggs away from the industrial unit, PA reported.
In an earlier court hearing, Pool’s then-solicitor John McMillan told the court: “He stopped the vehicle when he realized he was being followed. He realized that the game was up – he realized the police were behind him and pulled in when it was safe to do so.”
McMillan added: “He wasn’t offering any resistance and he was then arrested.”
Tweeting after the arrest, West Mercia Police said they had “helped save Easter for Creme Egg fans” calling the incident an “eggs-travagent theft.”
CNN’s Lianne Kolirin contributed to this story.

Doesn't matter what is fair. Russia has nukes and will use them if they feel threatened. If Russia ends up getting hit by a Ukrainian bomb then they might retaliate by hitting the ones who gave it to them. Best way forward is to make a truce that pleases no one but keeps the peace.
chickenwing 1 year ago • 100%
Well you can start by not threatening Russia with invasion. Russia is propagandizing this as a fight for their survival don't add fuel to the flame by saying your going to invade them. The US has invade and left a few countries over the years and it didn't take threats to make us leave. We left after the public turned on it and it became politically unpopular. The same will happen in Russia but not if you threaten them.

You can prevent WW3 by de-escalating right now. It would help if we worked on diplomacy rather than sending a bunch of bombs to Ukraine and hoping it all works out. You realize that it's not the 40's anymore and WW3 could mean nuclear armageddon right?

FDR got us into WW2 you want this to escalte into WW3? Be careful what you wish for. What exactly does your "denazify" Russia entail? Removing Putin? Because that could require invasion and if you think Iraq had blowback try that shit with Russia.

Agreed. I think his look in mk11 was the best. Making him Australian gives him a lot of character he didn't have in the first game.

For years I've taken screenshots of some of the ~~dumbest~~ most important news on the internet. Join me on !vital_news [!vital_news@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/vital_news) and help me collect these important stories.
I'm subscribed to a dozen different gaming sublemmys and it would be nice to make a custom group called "games" with all those subscriptions.
I just finished playing Wanted:Dead and while it has a lot of issues I had fun with it. It had campy cutscenes, bad voice acting, and bugs galore. But I liked what it was going for. It was like a mix of 360 era 3rd person shooter and a PS2 era slasher action game. It reminded me a lot of games like Wet, Lollipop Chainsaw, and Killer is Dead. There is a lot of Japanese B-Grade action games I've enjoyed over the years. Games with poor reviews and low budgets, but also great style and unique gameplay. What's your favorite so bad it's good B-Grade game?
