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, up until about 2 weeks ago I was still using a Pixel 4. It was 5 years old but never felt slow at all.

I’ve reverted to buying the previous year’s flagships now. When you do a side by side comparison the only real difference between last year’s and this year’s is £300-400.

Because that’s still very niche. Flagship phones have more than enough power for the vast majority of users and have done for years now. The cost/benefit analysis doesn’t add up

You might be cursed. I’ve never noticed any choppy video and I was still on a pixel 4 until last week

The day 1 release suit was the worst. “Life support systems falling” every few seconds even when it’s on like 80%. Now it’s only the “units received” spam from mass scanning that’s annoying

WhatsApp (& mobile internet in general) replaced it for me. It’s no longer a requirement for both my friends and myself to be at our computers at the same time to talk shit to each other.

Don’t give them ideas

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.

Wow that looks like a generic imitation car from a video game or low budget movie that can’t afford to licence real cars.

Also its performance is something else… Power 45 bhp, top speed 78 mph, max range 140 miles, 0-60 19 seconds. Kudos to Dacia, I didn’t know it was even possible to make an electric car that slow.

I only save scummed the Gwent tournament as it’s a one-shot type deal. The rest of the game there was no need as it autosaves frequently and there is basically no consequences to losing a game of Gwent to a rando

Boy that’s a lot of work just to play some old crap from more than 30 years ago

I always get to the part with nuclear power, then I take a look at the space elevator objective recipes, realise I need to multiply my factory size by about 20 and just nope out

You’re right that the idea has come from the mind boggling number of options in vehicles these days. The company I worked for recently had over a million different combinations, and making more physical parts standard fit saves them money.

However that saving is not passed on to the customer. The company pockets it all, and makes more money on top with the subscriptions.

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.

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?

They’re boring and lame, and they have a cultish following of people who defend them not because they are actually good, but because the artist receives abuse.

This comic is a prime example of it. Completely unfunny, unoriginal, strawman argument that achieves nothing more than making people argue with each other.
