I don't know if you'd call that skeuomorphism, and we have icons that are similar.

I'm not sure what you would call the opposite of 'flat' in terms of these designs, but I think that's what you're referring to.

Bernie would have won.

I blame everyone who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primary for our 2 Trump presidencies and so should you.

Yeah, that's about the response I would expect from someone like you.

Gonna block you now. You need to spend less time on these forums to fix your worldview.

That's not true.

You should spend more time off of these forums so you don't have such a myopic view of the world.

That would be nice.

Americans have proven that they don't want anything that reduces the disparity in wealth, though.

That's why democrats nominated Hillary Clinton instead of Bernie Sanders in 2016, resulting in a Trump presidency. I also think that if Trump didn't win in 2016, he wouldn't have had a better chance in 2020 or 2024. So I actually blame 2 Trump presidencies on the people who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democrat Primary.

That's not at all what I'm suggesting and this isn't specific to fascism.

Greed and unchecked entitlement is what made America what it is today. As long as people can't see past their own wealth, these problems will continue to perpetuate. This generation is proud to take advantage of others and envies those who get rich off of exploitation.

Framing it as a culture war instead of a class war helps contribute to the steady decline of America.

Edit: The fact that you immediately jumped to 'fascism' instead of 'greed' or the growing disparity in wealth further proves my point that these problems will not be solved in our lifetime. We're not even looking in the right direction at this point.

Everyone reading this right now should recognize that America will be on a steady decline for the rest of our lives.

There's no point in waiting for it to improve. There's no point in waiting for it to fall.

Just accept that it is a trend that will not end while we are still living. Don't waste your life waiting for the day that never comes.

I've noticed shitty men have it too easy. It's a cultural problem centered around what we value.

I'm interested in something that games and front-ends can implement in order to play online and connect with friends, independent of the actual front-end in use.

This would allow gamers to connect without being reliant on companies' stores.

Is there such a thing? Are there any discussions about creating one?

I'm replaying through all of them up to A Crack In Time a second time. It's nice to be able to see these games through a critical lens. As a kid I guess I just implicitly thought Up Your Arsenal would be the best cause it was the 'newest', but I'm noticing it's actually a pretty weak entry. The online mode was fun, and I guess as I kid I just didn't notice how much the single-player took a hit. Still a fun game, though.

I'd say right now, probably the first one is my favorite. For some reason, it just feels like they put more effort into it than the others. The tone of the game seems quieter and more natural than the other ones. While I love the environments in each entry, it's the first one that felt like the environments and navigating them took a bigger part compared to blowing up robots. I also like Ratchet's personality in the first one, even though he was criticized for being kinda mean. The transition to a 'nicer' Ratchet in subsequent games feels a little muffled, like they're making him something he wasn't supposed to be.

I haven't played A Crack in Time or past it because it doesn't work on RPCS3.

I don't want to be notified everytime I get a reply to one of my posts. Is there a way to turn this off?

I want to install Debian directly onto my USB drive. Is there an easy way to do this directly without having to reboot to run the installer?

Broken hinges legitimately should not be a thing, but here we are (thanks capitalism.)

Which gaming laptops can people buy and be sure that their hinges will not break even after many years of normal use? I'm fine with paying more if it avoids repairing or replacing it before it's past its usefulness.
