I find it really useful to shut down discussions where no one is budging and are just overall a big waste of time. As an example, if I’ve been trying to convince someone that the earth is round for 10 minutes and they clearly don’t have any interest in changing their view, I’ll just spare me the trouble and say it. If they still refuse to let it go, I start blindly agreeing with them, that usually does the trick.

Politically speaking, it makes sense not to turn him into a martyr. However, I don’t think politics should have an impact on the police…

Astronauts, on the other hand…

ITT people are all dismissive because you can’t actually be anonymous on the road (license plates, speed cameras…), but, honestly, I just want a car that doesn’t listen in on my conversations, sell my data to brokers, require any passanger to accept the privacy policy, or record the times I have sex (jk it won’t be able to if I don’t have any)

I am not at all representative of my age group (I am on lemmy ffs), but yes, I do know what winamp is/was.

Better hardware absolutely cuts loading times.

Unfortunately they patched the mscz downloads and now they’re charging for merely viewing more than one page of certain scores. Musescore4 is great but I hope musescore.com burns.

There is a button to change the color scheme to B&W

Getting worse every year too

You should get your lemmy checked for dementia

Until a court rules in favour of this no one will budge as this is just an opinion. I do hope it comes to that as since Spain ruled that charging for not planting cookies was a okay browsing news sites has been miserable.

There are many kinds of evil, and also the morally gray. Evil doesn’t have to be evil just for the sake of it.

At the end of the day, these kinds of videogames tell stories, and a story full with nonsensical evil will only appeal to those freaks you talked about. In the other hand, if it is handled correctly, the story will appeal to a much broader audience. As an example, at the end of The Last Of Us (the show, idk about the game), the main character refuses to save the world because it would mean the death of the only family he had left, and massacres a lot of people in a mix of survival instinct and paternalistic rage. It is horrible from a moral perspective yet it is a good, engaging story.

I feel like, in the same sense, a character with impenetrable morality and no conflict would not be very entertaining to read/watch/play.

As for the workload, I’d rather they didn’t give me the option to be evil if the story is going to be bad. The devs themselves choose to make different paths, so at least have them be equally fun. (I’m not getting into pressures from above for “branching narratives” or any other marketable terms. Replace devs with “studios” if you wish.)

How will small artists get to make themselves known, though? Not everyone has the option to play live.

As much as I want them to give HDMI the middle finger I don’t think they have enough leverage in the GPU market to pull such a bold move off.

I recommend watching a youtube recap of the history of the fandom as it really helps contextualize the whole comic, and it is quite fun, as such an excentric comic attracted an equally excentric fanbase. There are plenty of fun and gross anecdotes. As for the bucket, you can watch for yourself, but let me warn you…

I got into it blind and only learned about the fandom and the surrounding history after finishing it. It felt like reading a parallel story and it was actually pretty fun, but it only cemented my feeling of not wanting to be associated with them. I mean, the bucket. Just wow.

Exactly

Homestuck, Undertale, Hazbin Hotel, and all those popular pieces of media that get overshadowed by their shitty fandoms

¿Por qué no los dos?
