On machines that were actually strong enough to run it, it was mostly fine. I played on PC and while I admit the later balancing update was probably necessary, I didn’t run into most of the real nasty bugs people liked to talk about. I had a great time putting in 100 or so hours in version 1.

A solid 80% or more of all the problems Cyberpunk had at launch stemmed from trying to launch it on last-gen consoles. It absolutely was not intended for PS4 or XB1 and targeting those platforms was a mistake. Once they pulled availability for those and buckled down on getting it prettied up for next gen, the quality jumped by a mile within the next year and a half of updates.

The launch was rough, I grant you that, and maybe I’m just simping for CDPR but even at the time I was in the vocal minority saying, hey this game really isn’t that bad if you give it a chance and run it on hardware that it was intended for.

And of course now with its updates and DLC it’s just genuinely a great game.

I don’t know about the rest of them, but Ben Franklin sure envisioned some orgies. Attended a few of 'em too.

Just because EA claims something is an expansion on the box, does not make it true.

You could ask the same thing of Wizards of the Coast who sent goons to a guy’s house over some Magic The Gathering cards.

We live in an age where these two things are becoming interchangeable.

And the price of groceries will skyrocket 3x and everyone will say “I can’t believe Biden could do this to me”

That sounds like an awesome gig for 99% of the time and an absolute bitch and a half the 1% of the time you’re needed.

Metaphysician here. The platonic ideal of gluten will induce the platonic ideal of diarrhea. Honestly I’m not going to call that a good trade, but that’s an exercise for the reader.

Genuinely curious how long you could continue getting people to sink advertising dollars into the bot playground. If he played it smart I bet he could get a solid decade or so of people paying to show ads to AIs without telling them all the people are gone. Maybe longer, if he’s really smart and actually tells them for real that there’s no people in there but that their marketing materials will be incorporated into the AI in/output.

Did you miss the two separate articles in which he’s on tape calling the representatives of Georgia and threatening them to “find” more votes?

Well, I’m glad you asked.

These were the quick easy ones I found on the first page of search, there are more.

Yes. Yes we are. On account of the massive amount of fraud that’s been coming out of his corner for 8 years and counting.

That Trump is committing voter fraud is a given guarantee, whether it lets him win or not is what’s up in question.

Because when you get pissed off at one shitty video and click off it to find a better one, that’s free real estate in which to double your ads.

And what are you gonna do? Go to Peertube? YouTube is too gigantic to have a real competitor no matter how much we try. It is a beast so massive and bloated at this point that we just can’t kill it without legislative interference. And Google knows damn well that they’re basically the only game in town so they aren’t afraid of significant user backlash.

Playing OOT first is not necessary, you’ll pick up all the relevant plot without it. However, Majora’s Mask was made as a sequel to OOT, and having the knowledge of the OOT world and characters will underscore a lot of subtext in MM that you’d likely miss otherwise.

(Nearly) every character in MM is a character from OOT, but shifted one timeline over. They’re the same character but they aren’t the same people. Seeing what’s different between the two iterations speaks just as much as seeing what is the same.

Naproxen is my number one go-to answer for any sort of minor aches and pains. Headache? Cured. Muscle pains? It doesn’t get rid of them, but it does make it a lot less noticeable. Hangover, stomach ache, stubbed toe, hurt feelings? Naproxen has you covered. Love that stuff.

It will, however, cause internal bleeding if you drink alcohol while on it. So maybe don’t do that. I don’t drink so I love the stuff.

Any further back than 2 or 300 years and you would definitely, 100% guaranteed be burned as a witch upon arrival.

The only reason I want Lemmy to grow is because I miss having niche video game communities with more than a dozen members :c

Discord is increasingly filling that role now, but there are a large number of reasons why I’m not really a fan of that as a replacement.

Mostly I just want to talk about the new Factorio expansion with everyone…

They’ve been mandatory on all new vehicles since 2018

I’ll still vote, because it is my duty as a citizen.

Then you aren’t the target of this! Many folks refuse to vote and then act all upset that their wishes aren’t being respected. No shit they aren’t, you haven’t presented any wishes. None of us chose to be responsible for the future of our nation, but if you want to continue to live in a democracy, then you need to contribute to that democracy. It is a duty as a citizen and in my opinion should be mandatory.

Don’t get me wrong though, I completely understand your perspective. Mostly because I’ve felt a lot of it myself. Make no mistake, I am also blaming and bullying the ass off the current US administration that enabled this and the previous generations that allowed it to progress. But shitting on Boomers doesn’t help fix the problems we have today.

Just remember, a state doesn’t vote. People vote. Your state votes red because people in that state vote red. If enough people come out to flip that, then the state vote will flip. Voting in local elections will help ensure this much more than only showing up every 4 years to vote in the presidential.

We still, as of now, have a viable path forward that can prevent bloodshed and collapse of American society. I am going to fight tooth and claw to follow that path if we are able. If we aren’t, then so be it. But I will not suffer apathy to destroy my home. End of story.

Edit: but honestly, is shaming me into voting going to make the system better or is it just to make you feel better about the broken system?

If you go vote, then yes, it has a chance to make the system better. It’s not guaranteed, but nothing is.

Look, if every American goes out and votes in a free and fair election and we still get stuck with a fascist regime, fair enough, I’ll just leave. I can’t ask for more than that from the voting public. But when more than half of America doesn’t vote and then we get stuck with a fascist regime, I won’t abide that. We can and should shame non-voters for that. Your voice matters, and if you won’t grasp that power for yourself, the rest of us will bully you into it because your apathy detrimentally affects all of us.

Yep. Spin up your own website and throw a couple YouTube ads out into the world. We’ll have legislation drafted making this illegal before your first server bill comes due.
