  • What determines what "too big" is?

    Ease of travel and speed of travel. Even a small map can feel cumbersome, repetitive, and boring. If the missions are designed poorly, and the game mechanics ignore an entertaining user experience, walking down the same hallway a thousand times can feel like a chore.

    “Too big” is a relative feeling that involves many factors.

  • I’m watching a friend play it on Twitch right now

  • I’m pretty sure it was something like “Dracula doesn’t have a castle because he’s a vampire. He has a castle because he’s a Count.”

    If this is annoying and pedantic, I apologize. For whatever reason, the original post isn’t displaying for me.

  • Charlie seems the most sensitive an empathetic, so…

  • This headline is fantastic for Mamdani, plus serves as yet another example of Trump shooting himself in the foot. I want to put it on a billboard.

  • While I think it’s an awful style choice, I am 100% in favor of MAGAts being visibly identifiable from a distance.

  • That’s a good question, and it deserves a better answer than I can provide

  • If you hate Putin’s bullying of Ukraine, definitely watch this video. It’s only 20 minutes, and it’ll make your day.

    If you’re a fan of Putin, just keep your head buried in the sand.

  • I only use it to cover my ass because I’m not sure I’m right

  • She’s using her emotional problems as a way to manipulate you and avoid responsibility. Is that something you want more of in the future? You are an ideal victim for this type of emotional abuse, and she’s unlikely to change without professional help. Are you staying with her because you care about her, or because you’re afraid of what will happen if you leave?

  • One of the few good things I will say about Trump is this: his bumbling, greed, and tantrums have provided the wake-up call that the world needs. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT RELIABLE.

    If your company is still uses software that relies on foreign servers, why? (This is a rhetorical question, but if you want to respond anyway, please do!)

  • This is the funniest article I’ve seen in a while.

    “I’m doing everything I can to make the nation a less tolerant, more hateful place. Why can’t I find love?”

  • If a perishable product comes in an opaque plastic container, that’s a deliberate choice. Always be suspicious of it.

  • You reminded me of one of my favorite quotes. I bet your wife will like it too:

    “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain

  • I'm definitely not pushing my wife in any direction, just listening and supporting.

    I hope your wife realizes how lucky she is

  • I’m glad you took a stand. Surgery is “bad”, but it’s a lot better than just pretending the problem doesn’t exist.

  • Thank you for the compliment. Your marriage is my primary concern. I hope things work out as well as possible!

  • Good thing we didn’t give them reason to distrust us by having ICE arrest a bunch of their citizens who were in the US legally… oh, wait…

  • This is by far the most reasonable compromise I’ve seen. OP, if the MIL absolutely must visit, this is a completely fair thing to demand in exchange. You are making a sacrifice for the sake of your wife. If you’re willing to be flexible, she should be, too.

  • However she has become more racist and judgemental (anti-trans etc) in recent years. Hates Joe Biden and Kamal Harris but can't or won't say why.

    I’m gonna guess that it’s because she watches Fox “News”, and that she can’t say why she hates Biden and Harris. She’s simply heard so much anti-Democrat rhetoric that she’s parroting it.

    Ethically, the choice seems easy. While specific events may be unpredictable, the themes of hatred and authoritarianism were obvious to anyone who was genuinely paying attention during the campaign. They knowingly voted for a complete piece of shit. They voted for someone who had tried to overthrow the government when things didn’t go his way. He had already been convicted of bribery and sexual assault before the election even took place. The man is simply unfit for office.

    Your level of resentment is by no means “locked in”. You have every right to be angry.

    The best thing you can do is communicate. Talk with your wife. Show her your post. Don’t keep your resentment bottled up - that’s not healthy. Hopefully, the two of you can come to a solution that doesn’t harm your marriage. If her family doesn’t like it, too bad. Through their (deliberate?) ignorance, they helped create this problem in the first place.

    Just finished watching Station 11 on Max. SOOOOO good!

    Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?

    Off My Chest @lemmy.world

    Ever have one of those close conversations with some, and walk away thinking “yeh… I’m a good guy” (or whatever pronoun you choose, of course). I just had that happen. It’s a nice, reassuring feeling.
