100%. I don’t want to spend my free time scrolling past the political options of every single fuckhead in the world, these topics achieve nothing but pissing each other off. Block, block and block again.

I still remember the old-school crude internet saying of bygone days: “Arguing on the internet is like completing in the special Olympics; even if you win you’re still retarded”

Yeah all of my hobbies are ghost towns here. I don’t care about Linux, US politics or Communism so I filtered them out. Now all that’s left is general interest posts and AI generated porn.

Canal boats were traditionally towed by horses alongside on the tow path, but the paths don’t go through tunnels so it’s feasible that this was what they did to get through

“Israeli Jews are white” - Lmfao I can’t believe that people still believe that old racist trope

Hmm which state is apartheid again? The one that is 20% Arab where they have full rights… Or the one that is 100% Arab where anyone who is not like them is killed with extreme prejudice?

No one is stopping them from forming their own state on their own land. In fact most of the world supports it. But they choose not to because they want the entire land that Israel is on despite not having the rights or the means to obtain it.

It’s impossible to remove the state of Israel without evicting / killing it’s Jewish population. They are surrounded by entire states that base their culture on wanting to kill as many Jews as possible. What do you think would happen if the entire land suddenly became Palestine and they weren’t permitted to protect themselves anymore?

Usually standard graphics at 60fps instead of ray tracing and stuff at 30fps

Same with me and Black & White 1. I loved the hell out of that game and didn’t know about his reputation. There’s still a massive shortage of god games out there over 20 years later.

I only played the two “new” ones. They were both good, fairly interesting, but not amazing. It’s hard to say, but it just felt like something was missing from them. Maybe it was a lack of things to do between missions beyond finding my way into a few random apartments for no real reason?

It’s worth noting that I’m generally not into stealth games, I get impatient and just want blood, or think I can sprint past a few guards without being seen. (I think I fucked up in the police station in HR, and the entire interior of the building was just corpses)

Out of the two human revolution was a bit better but there wasn’t much between them.

I did like the aesthetics and general mood of the games though, and cyberware will always be cool.

I still would have played the next one if it hadn’t been cancelled sadly.

NO

I’m pro-socialism and heavily regulated capitalism.

All that far left Marxist Communist crap is for people who like to pretend that it doesn’t fail every single time.

Remind me what happened to the Soviet union with their “Democracy”?

The line is when the communist system collapses as usual and a dictatorship seizes power.

Because it fails and morphs into an authoritarian hellhole every single time without exception?

And they’re still selling it on Steam. A game that they have no intention of finishing.

BOTW - None of the things you mentioned were original for that game either. I remember gliding around as Spyro all the way back in the 90’s. Even the Just Cause series had them before Zelda. Stamina bars have been in so many games I think you’d need an archeologist to work out where they originated from.

The Pals are obvious rip-off Pokémon, but as Nintendo / Gamefreak don’t give a shit about making a half-decent game from their own IP, I think it becomes fair game for other companies to have a crack at it.

Yeah it’s a bog standard survival game at its core with not-pokemon tacked on, so if that’s not your thing then avoid it

I disagree with cordless Dysons. We have the V8 Animal and it’s pretty pathetic. It struggles to pick up anything denser than dust and the very smallest of crumbs, and the battery life isn’t enough to do a full clean of a house in one go. Most of the time we have to get out the old corded one to finish what the cordless couldn’t. I think brands like Shark and Vax are supposed to be better but I’ve not tried them.
