Not my president 😡
Tap for spoiler
(I live in Germany)
Exactly. It’s like a vending machine, you throw in money, and dead Russian soldiers fall out from the bottom. All without endangering the lives of NATO soldiers. How many cold war US presidents would dream of this?
I am in no way minimizing the sacrifice and suffering of the Ukrainian people, but that is happening with or without Western support - the difference is the outcome, if we give them enough weapons, they can win and end the war.
I e.g. some EU airports, you have separate lines for passport check by an officer, and lines for passport & face scan machines. This way you can choose which one to use, when you enter/exit the EU.
Yes, Russia and China is fighting a war against the West, and we are standing with our pants down. No need to start shooting, but their actions should be met with equal force (eg. make it a similar hurdle for Chinese business to operate in EU, than it is for us to do business in China). And for fuck’s sake, ban all Russian propaganda and punish domestic supporters, as it’s affecting our politics.
I played Cyberpunk on launch, sold my disc after a few days, and refused to touch it again since. If a game is marketed as a fully finished game, I’m not interested in a barely running early access version. I understand they fixed most things since, but I don’t care, have plenty of other things to play. As long as gamers keep continuing to encourage this behaviour, it will keep hapoening and getting worse.
Very important message.
The investment banker getting paid 200k per year in NYC is still closer to being homeless, than being a millionaire.
If you need to work to live, you are working class.
Some of the working class is underpaid and struggle daily, while some have more money and live fairly easy (until they lose their job). The capitalists owning the companies we work at have nothing in common with us, and they like when we hate each other, instead of them or the system.
Exactly, currently it’s just class genocide/enslavery, with some of the working class applauding it
No, we stop at the second
I was in a business trip in Turkey at an international company. During lunch I learned from a well-educated investor relations manager, how much problem the CIA and their terrorist organization Güllen has caused the country, leading to eg. high inflation.
Edit: not sure why the downvotes, this is how many Turkish people think (by their own or due to propaganda). That’s why they have laws like this
HL2’s lead designer grew up in Bulgaria, so Sofia is the inspiration for City 17, and the coast is the Black Sea coast, incl. at/near Odessa.
No, no, we can’t be mean to the rich, that will upset them 🥺
UC4 still looks so amazing, unbelievable game

Wife: “Hey honey, how’s the game going for you? You said you’ll be done quickly, remember?”
Man: “Don’t worry darling. I am winning, these losers don’t stand the chance against my powers!”
Wife: “That sounds great! How much money have you won?”
Man: “I am down 730 thousand dollars.”
It’s literal economic stimulus, US sends them old shit, and buys new and more expensive shit from local military suppliers. This is the “creating jobs” thing the right likes so much, except when it’s against Russian interests

Gamers still want the option for discs as over 80% of all PS5 console sales in the US have been for the disc edition.

Features including GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution take players to new heights.
Managed to grab a PS Portal yesterday, and it's performing better than I expected
I was debating if I want to buy one, but after trying that remote play worked well with a tablet on my home wifi, I took a leap of faith and ordered one of the last ones nearby. Picked it up yesterday.
Key points:
-Very satisfied with the performance so far, no noticable lag on home wifi. Finished Spider-Man 2 and beat the final boss on it, also tried some shooters, no issues with lag in single player games on my 500 Mbit network (meaning: maybe a partial second of stutter every 5-10 mins).
-So much smoother experience than using e.g. my tablet with a controller. Just pick it up, press 2 buttons, and you can play in a few seconds.
-The screen is also better than expected. 8 inches is super big for a handheld, around the size of the iPad mini. Very immersive, when playing. Colors are also great, and I’m saying that as an owner of an LG OLED TV. Of course an OLED screen would have been probably better, but also more expensive, and the resolution is still better than most handhelds giving us a great picture.
-The controller grips are very comfortable for even a longer session. The haptic feedback and trigger resistance feels just like the controller we are used to.
-The missing BT is annoying if you have a good headset (I don’t), but I understand the concerns with delay, though I have no personal experience on that.
-The only time connection became bad, is when downloading a game/update on my PS5 while playing, it even completely dropped once. Very annoying if you want to run an update in the background, but also not a dealbreaker, you can just run updates in rest mode.
-The price is fine, payed 219 EUR for it. I would like it a bit lower, but still okay with it (understanding the privilege that I can waste this money on something that is far from a necessity). I would not want to pay the price of a “proper” handheld for a controller with a screen.
Thank you Steve Huffman for curing my reddit addiction!
I stopped using reddit when Apollo went down, and 2-3 hours of scrolling and active posting in some niche subs turned into ~30 mins of Lemmy per day, which I find much more healthy.
I didn’t start doing yoga, painting, or a side business, just feel much better having cut back the last big pillar of my social media addiction.
So thanks Steve!
