In the scope of human history, we have addressed a shitload of issues and bettered the lives of billions in a very short period of time.
Yes, there is more to do and more can be done. But let's not act like there's no good done. It is incredible how better most everything about life as a human is today relative to most of our history.
So if I say you get to choose a kick in the genitals or a punch in the face, and you choose neither, then somehow you are the asshole?
Log off and go away. Get off your armchair.
It was 10 years ago.
People just want to be smug now cause it's the cool thing to do.
In the lead up to the original PS5 release, even PlayStation execs said the same thing, and that the Pro during PS4 era was a unique event and wouldn't be a thing this time around.
Spartan: Total Warrior from the PS2 & Gamecube was I think an underrated or missed gem.
You don't exactly play as a lot of mythological things, but it tells a great story with action combat around a lot of really cool mythology. Some of the bosses were incredibly cool.
She wants to have some kind of cake and eat it too, at YOUR mental expense.
No.
You'll be teaching your child that what she's done is okay. Your child will learn things about relationships that aren't good.
I like what this idiot says. Is there some way I can blindly support them to rule the world like an idiot?
- another idiot
Who's a good game? Yes you are! Yes you are!
Is VW teaching them to lie about their numbers?
Misleading headline.
From a different site:
with attackers demanding a $150,000 ransom in “baguettes,” an obtuse reference to the company’s headquarters being located in France. In reality, the attackers are looking for payment in Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency.

Collective of elites abusing private jets in addition to likely harming the planet far worse than most indirectly get together to smell each other's farts and discuss why it's all someone else's fault.
I have never seen anyone say this. Nor have I seen it on a sign or anything. I've only seen it on Lemmy.
I remember last time I shopped around for a car, just a few years ago. We noticed the Hyundai dealer in particular had a packed service department. Wonder why so many people need service.
I sincerely doubt most of these stories are actually happening. It's true. But I doubt the actual interaction occurred. Seeing this same story different ways all over the internet. I live in a region surrounded by right wingers and aside from those flags and occasional hats, I hardly ever hear anyone outright talk about their politics.
I don't understand why more people don't go no contact. Blood is meaningless when you have nothing that actually matters in common and the added layer that they don't actually know who you are and might treat you like crap.
I finally gave up and went no contact 8 years ago and it alleviated so much stress and frustration. Anything I think I miss I have realized is a fantasy that never would happen anyways.
It wasn't good. It got old real fast. Now they're giving him and Schrader their own show? And Schrader says he doesn't wanna just throw his opinions out there cause he dislikes everyone giving opinions all the time. That show is gonna suck.
Today is Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty from the Master Collection, Volume 1 on Steam. This is really just the HD edition from a decade ago though. But they did seem to enhance the visuals a bit, and like the other collection games, it comes with some background material like a Screenplay. This was probably my 20th time playing this game on yet another platform since the original.
Here messing around with soldiers. I like the markers over their heads.
Magazines come in handy.
I also like a lot of the in-game posters. There's some mods for these too. You should give Ghost Babel a try. It's non-canon, but still a great game.
More "interesting" posters.
There's an easter egg early in the Tanker if you find a specific poster of a woman in a locker and stare at it just right, then call Otacon.
Metal Gear Solid from their recent Master Collection, Volume 1. Played mostly via Steam Link and a little bit on Steam Deck. This was playing through the Japanese version (it has pretty much every version included). At this moment I think Snake's saying "that takes care of the cremation."
Here's a bonus screenshot of how this collection handles the games swap to disc 2. It does a disc flip animation showing one disc exiting and another inserting. I liked it.
And here's Johnny freaking out in Japanese.
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, Volume 1. Mostly played streaming to my TV via Steam Link, but also played a bit on Steam Deck. I think this is an English dub of the MSX version. This isn't the NES version. It was an excellent game for its time.
Snake also seems really concerned with Christmas as you can see.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Fatesworn DLC for PS4 played on PS5.
Played this game to 100% on PS3 originally. Was fun to play it again completely, and then get a bit more story beyond the original release with this DLC.
I have always felt this was an under-appreciated action rpg with a lot of great lore, fun characters, and varying environments.
The world and lore was created by R.A. Salvatore (fantasy writer), art sonehow directed by Todd McFarlane (Spawn creator), and originally funded by Curt Schilling (baseball player), and then at one point the IP was owned by the State of Rhode Island.
So basically you're getting a story in and out of the game Ha Ha. It was wild to watch this over the years come back to life with a re-release.
Note: Apparently lemmy can't handle large pics. Had to shrink it. So it gets potato quality like my previous Vita screenshots.
The best way to see the hero involves kidnapping.
From Ys I Chronicles played on Steam Deck. An excellent older game and story.
Friends and adventurers going into the unknown together. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana for Vita.
Ys I Chronicles on Steam Deck. A (very important to the lore) woman that the main character rescues is fainting because she had to walk all the way back to town. What a monster he is to not carry her the entire way! Haha.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana on Vita. Getting ready for a Gendarme mountaintop boss fight.
PS Vita game Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. This is early into the game when you find your first castaway. Adol stumbled on her bathing in the stream.
I personally always loved the Vita graphics and the feel of the handheld, so I prefer this version of the game.
Is there a good community for sharing funny or ridiculous threads of lemmy comments and conversations?
