I personally don't care a lot about Kojima's games but I still think it's absolutely great he gets to make whatever he makes because he is a unique voice in gaming! In a sea of games as a service, mindless franchise milking and countless copycats someone like him is needed to make outlandish stuff, whether I like the games or not. Tons of people do and that's great!

Yeah! I played it something like two years ago and it aged wonderful! I mean, I wish them all the success in the world but this game doesn't actually need a remake

Reddit was never toxic in recent years

Nah dude, you can't be serious. It obviously varies between the communities and the bubble you created for yourself on Reddit. But even in the smaller somewhat niche subs I frequented had people acting toxic and hostile. And it became more and more in recent years. And I am definitely not talking about all the manospehre, incel and cringe subs. Those are on a whole other level of toxic and at least as bad as similar algorithmic bubbles on Twitter.

There is also toxicity on Lemmy, too. But you can just manage what you consume so much better. Never encountered Hexbear stuff outside of drama posts for example.

Yeah, I saw Kindergarten Cop too!

Skimmed through this and in the span of probably two minutes read some of the most terminally online stuff ever. I'm gonna go kiss my kid on the forehead now and then rake some leafs in the yard.

Ich kann mir das schon gut vorstellen! Seit Jahren mal wieder war ich vor der letzten Landtagswahl bei einer Wahlkampfveranstaltung der Linken mit, neben Gysi, lokalen Linken Vertretern und welchen auf Landesebne (Hessen). Und mir hat das tatsächlich wieder ein ganz gutes Gefühl gegeben, dass die Linke nicht nur aus Wagenknecht's TV Auftritten und Grabenkämpfen besteht, sondern dass da ganz klare politische Ideen dahinter stecken, die linke Politiker, die nicht so eine große Plattform haben, auch vertreten: Mietpreise, Öffis für alle, Reichensteuer, mehr Solidarität und weniger vererbte Macht und Reichtum; Sachen, die einfach Sinn machen, wenn man ein bisschen über sich selbst hinaus blicken kann. Auf alle Fälle hat mir das ein wenig das Gefühl gegeben, dass da noch was ist in dieser Partei. Etwas das mit Themen zu tun hat und nicht nur mit Personenkult. Ich hoffe also auf die nächste Wahl und darauf dass es dann wieder eine inhaltliche Opposition gibt!

I am totally fine with them only marginally improving combat. Fighting monsters in the first Dragons Dogma is still to this day the best feeling combat in any rpg! What I hope they improve on is the story, the way the story is presented and the way the player can impact the world. The only character from I can remember by name is Mercedes and only because I accidentally let her die in her escort mission and then for her to appear later as if nothing happened.

Swimming. My brother in law is from India and he never learned how to swim due to him growing up in a place with only one extremely dirty river and no other lakes or swimming pools near his family. Apparently no one in his family can swim. He kinda can swim now but it still looks funny. A bit like I must have looked from the outside when I learned to swim - as a six years old. I always found this very odd because the dude is smart, hard working and has a degree but it took years and him becoming a dad to realize that swimming is something pretty much everyone can.

Those numbers in the hundreds of thousands (often referred to as "liquidated" in the numbers published by the Ukrainians) contain killed, missing, Pow and injured. Also those numbers are likely inflated for obvious reasons: this is an information war just as much as one on the battlefield. There are some sources (Oryx on Twitter for example) and people who digest those kind of sources (Perun on YouTube for example) I suggest watching to be as good informed as possible. And yet there will still be copius amounts of disinformation, propaganda and fake news on both sides and we probably have to wait years afters this war has ended to know at least some truths.

Eh, I think this can work like sponsored messages on YouTube videos: probably not immediately a lot of clicks on the product but over time more and more people recognize it and know what it is. And I like to think that over time Spez will be recognized as the soulless fucker who is hated by the very community he is trying to sell. Reddit lost a lot of charm in the last couple of months, even more than was already lost before and his name is tied to the whole thing. I hope!

Im Denns (Bio Markt Kette) gibt's einen Liter Olivenöl von deren Eigenmarke. Bio, mindestens gute Qualität und für acht Euro. Hält bei uns (2½ Personen) etwa zwei Wochen. Kann ich definitiv empfehlen, wenn man, wie wir, für fast alles Olivenöl nimmt!

Wouldn't it be ironic if this shit would be an even greater downfall for them than erasing third party apps? This whole giving-awards thing was pretty stupid to begin with and didn't happen as much in the smaller subs I was subscribed to than in the big ones. It was mainly a way for Reddit to trick the hive mind into giving them money for someone pointing out stuff most people agreed on. Also: anyone remember Reddit selling their shitty nfts?
