It doesn’t. But it irks me that when the USA does the same shit, if not worse, and just as blatantly, no one cares. But when it’s China it’s instantly nefarious and dangerous, when in reality it’s a world superpower doing exactly what the “good ones” are also doing in this case.
And I’m not pretending that China is less autocratic than our western democracies. But our state surveillance has nothing to envy to theirs.
Well, it looked like world war Z with a Evil Dead skin slapped on. Then probably got out competed by wwz with a Warhammer 40K skin (Space Marine 2)
I mean, the NSA doesn’t need to do the same because they’re wiretapping the entire fucking country (see : room 641A, Edward Snowden…) so they already get every American hackaton’s results
Otto von Bismarck moment.
(Context: dude instated pretty much the first pensions system in the world to try and stop the Marxists gaining influence, and allegedly asked the guy in charge of making the program to set the retirement age at a value where most of the population would die before reaching it. Iirc they settled on 70 years old, which is definitely too old for the average 19th century factory peon)
Are they still selling the horse armor ? Because the horse armor mod was my only mandatory mod when playing the OG, just to give Bethesda the middle finger
I always sacrifice some small piece of fruit or meat to them when the wasps are getting annoying. 65% of the time, it works everytime and they fuck off with their gift and never come back
KF2 has some amazing animations for guns handling (and great feeling when shooting) that still hold up to this day. Such a shame that they ruined the art direction with all the shiny shit.
Yep. Joining your favorite TF2 server on a Saturday afternoon and seeing that half of the server playing sandvich heavies, doing a conga line, having a full on philosophical discussion in the spectator chat, or annoying the engineers as a group of spycrabs was peak gaming
Edit : also trying to make the highest tower of players by jumping on each other (until some guy inevitably pulls up with a ulapool caber and blows up everyone)
Here’s hoping KF3 doesn’t suck (unfortunately the odds don’t look too good currently)
PC on the floor under the desk, 27" 2k IPS screen (looks great but unfortunately has some tearing issues due to mediocre top-to-bottom refresh speed. Fortunately I’m getting older so I really don’t give a fuck about losing something like .016 seconds of reaction time to vsync), with his 24" ancestor on the side. The even older 24" that used to be my second monitor has been commandeered by my dad for his home office, so no third screen yet. (tbf he did technically buy it back then, since I paid half of it with my allowance and he paid the other half).
If you want to put a ban on something quit tip toeing and define the weapons you want to ban and their variants using specific language such as semi-automatic rifle, fully-automatic rifle, barrel length, etc
That’s how you get weird-ass weapons designed specifically to work around the law though. E.g in Russia they regulate harder any weapon that has rifling on more than half of the barrel (otherwise it’s considered a hunting shotgun iirc), so of course there are tons of Russian civilian weapons that are basically military stuff with shitty rifling and locked to semi auto
I think the idea behind this is that algae are more space-efficient than trees at producing oxygen and/or capturing CO2. Of course this is also ignoring that the bulk of a tree’s volume is high above the ground, and they also provide other things like shade and shelter for insects etc.
in 2004, a new category of astronaut was created: the commercial astronaut.
Let’s not mix the people who saw colleagues die and put their own lives on the line for science with the human billboard receiving money to advertise a rich fuck’s commercial vanity project that’s already been deemed safe (in no small parts due to it being tested by actual astronauts beforehand).
Lots of pillows

Orientals, and yes they do. But some breeders do select gigantic ears that will always look “off”
Edit : paying the tax with my oriental void spying on me while I browse Lemmy on the toilet
Me too
You have to do some work for the tower’s master and/or you need to gather informations for the knight. That could be stuff like cleaning their orbs so they can ponder them later, preparing/finding magical critters to be used in their potions, putting away his stupid sentient magical artifacts that keep trying to escape or do some shenanigans… Whatever. And try to gather information/find escape routes etc. But imo if there is some knight gameplay, it should be a minor part of the experience, otherwise you will indeed feel like you’re just playing the knight.
Edit: I think you could still have a fair share of knight gameplay if you make the princess gameplay some sort of walking sim where you wander around the tower, possibly under time constraints, and when it’s over, your have a knight section. You can figure out tons of way to make these gameplay segments interact too. For example there could be roadblocks to the knights progression that require the princess to do/find something. That could be mixed with Libra’s idea of having the princess cast spells and do other stuff during the knight’s segments, by having the player find the spells/artifacts required during the princess segments
Not my top 2 favs but they’re both in my top list for sure
Because criticizing china on that stuff is like beating a dead horse. Of course the autocratic country is gonna spy on their citizens and other countries, and engage in state sponsored hacking (and, mind you, I think it’s ok for a State to use hacking defensively). But our leaders are criticizing them for that and foaming at the mouth to do the same shit domestically, which makes us look hypocritical as fuck and opens us up to stupid headlines like “Putin blasts France for police violence during recent protests” (which is very tangentially related but a very common one over here)
I guess I got jumpy because I recently watched a video about this that ended with the usual “the state pulled out an obscure old law and shut down the lawsuit and possibly proceeded to secretly fuck with the whistleblower for a while”.
