It’s also probably a bonus too. If the US takes them down like this it’s a huge sign that they’re far overstepping their bounds. Not that we really need more evidence of that, but it doesn’t hurt.

To be fair, lots of companies wanted to do business with the Nazis. Most businesses now don’t have an issue with Trump being a fascist, but that it’s unpredictable. That’s bad for business.

Discord has quite a few good features that IRC doesn’t. I will agree that it being used as a replacement for a forum, while also being unsearchable, is amazingly stupid. However, it’s used by almost everyone for a reason, and to ignore that (if you were to develop and alternative) ensures you won’t succeed. Yeah, we don’t need every feature from Discord, but easy voice/text/video chats, image/file sharing, and all the other useful things are required. Yeah, we can probably lose the emotes and crap and be fine.

People do know who he is.

Well, Hollow Knight you upgrade what, like 3 times, maybe 5. I don’t remember. It’s not many. Dark Souls is designed such that you do it much more frequently. If you want to do the spelty upgrades though, you’re in for a trip. That and many shops are total pains in the ass to reach in DS. HK does include a shop near the main base, as well as a lot of other important characters. (Also, it definitely isn’t 5m each direction. Maybe if you fight everything on the way, but not if you just run.)

It’s fine to not like it though. I think you’re misremembering how bad it was, but it isn’t as easy as most games make things. In my opinion that’s good. It makes things feel more real and earned. If everything is just conveniently at the hub or in your menu then it would just feel far too gamey and simple. There’s already plenty of games like that. HK is something different.

For fast travel, part of the design is about shortcuts, which I prefer. It’s closer to the Dark Souls 1 philosophy instead of the later games. One cohesive world that makes sense that you exist within and learn, instead of fast traveling every 10 meters.

I agree with the dash though. Spamming it to move a little faster was so annoying. I’m playing Silksong and the new dash you can hold to sprint, and it’s much nicer.

I think one issue with the game is that you should probably play largely unguided. Most gamers today can’t play games without a guide up though. Yeah, the game is going to suck if you aren’t engaging with the main premise of exploration and discovery.

I do get those, but not that I think they’re good. You have to understand the design philosophy is not to make a good game. It’s to make a game that’s addicting and wallet draining.

The timer does two things. It makes you plan your time around it, always coming back as timers end (often with notifications when they finish). It also creates an obstacle they can sell you the solution to. Its pretty antithetical to good game design, but it’s profitable game design.

Which have you played? There are multiple eras for them. I’d say Morrowind is easier to enjoy personally, but you have to be OK with reading. The later you go the more brain dead they become.

For the average person, it was the first experience with a multiplayer shooter. Yeah, there were many available on PC for much longer, but most people had no contact with them. Halo was the one to bring the internet to mainstream gaming.

Other than that, yeah, it didn’t change that much. It did revolutionize controller shooter controls though, more than any game since Goldeneye probably. Gameplay is just standard arena shooter though —maybe a little (or a lot if you’re looking at the likes of Quake) slower to accommodate controllers.

Yeah, if they’d decrease prices then I honestly wouldn’t be that opposed. Flying is very safe, and autopilot is really good. It can even land, though I think this is normally not used if you have a human pilot, but it can do it if it needs to.

We all know that they’d just be cutting employees and probably increase prices though.

Having been to a Portugal the Man concert, I’m certain them too.

The point isn’t to make dead people. The point is to be a target too dangerous for a potential enemy to want to attack. It’s to keep people alive, because if an enemy were to look at you they’d see you’re ready to fight them and decide not to; at least, that’s the idea. Some enemies are too stupid or careless that they’d do it anyway.

If the midterms go well we might get it as soon as a year and a half from now!

To be fair, we always have. Despite it being said that we don’t, that’s always been bullshit. It’s said so terrorists think that they can’t be rewarded for their actions, but almost every time they try to negotiate we do, which is probably a good thing.

I was going to say there’s no rules against saying “Elon Musk should be killed” here on Lemmy, but then I saw we’re on Lemmy.world, and I think they’re trying to be the new Reddit.

(For any mods, this is not a call for violence, simply stating a thing that isn’t allowed. Please read it again if you think I made a call to violence.)

Hopefully this doesn’t just get dismissed and we get some nice information in discovery.

*who draws pictures poorly.

Honestly, that’s pretty damning. Remember that other failed artist who had a cult of personality and hated minorities?

I don’t understand how you’re both not spiritual and believe this. However, if you’re right then those people are assholes and so I want to align myself opposite to their goals.

There’s no meaning to life, because that implies intent for it existing. It just does. However, I think it does give us an imperative to try to do good with the life we have. We’re one of the few things in the universe that can experience pain and joy, and we should be trying to minimize the former and maximize the latter for the other beings capable of them.

Nothing happens if you do or don’t, but it does make everything better for everyone if you do, which includes yourself for the purely self motivated out there. Life isn’t a zero-sum game, so we should try to make it as nice as possible.
