Candlelit MtG? They were either having a terrible date or daring the other to burn their decks

Isn’t Gamestop also running HumbleBundle? I kinda expect the final amount the charity gets to be 60% of the auction, tops

“And here we have yet another product of double human stupidity: one for stapling an electronic and another for buying the entire thing for over 120k dollars”

If I’d had the chance to speak with them, I would have told them the truth [about inter-Korean history] and warned them that they could eventually face punishment from the North Korean regime, simply because they had already experienced life in the South" says Mr Lee

Given the rest of the article, it seems that the current SK president is trying to play nice with NK and isn’t exposing these drifters to historical facts. I still doubt they and their families will have a good time back home.

Brazil recently had an “experience” in getting more lax with gun restrictions. While people were mostly in favor of that before it came into effect, ~4 years later more people were against letting any idiot have a gun.

For every “CAC^[1] kills a robber” there are dozens of “CAC kills family/wife/police/random person”. Not only that, with how lax the law got, said CACs also became a bridge to sell or loan guns to criminals, which would usually have to buy them off corrupt police or army. Overall, people feel less safe, because now any argument with a rando can end up with you being shot, even if you’re not even involved and just happened to be nearby

One thing to keep in mind is that most police forces exist to protect wealth. If you have wealth, you’ll be protected. If you don’t, you’re a target. Does the police need guns? Not always. Not every criminal is armed and not every armed criminal can only be taken on by “a good guy with a gun”

You cant both abolish the police and then also disarm the citizens, gotta pick one.

You can, but you also need to reorganize a lot of how society works, especially in regards to wealth distribution.

Bethesda could earn a significant amount of goodwill back by simply using OpenMW on a Morrowind Remaster and helping with its development, even if only for a year.

Starfield is already Starfield with magic, tho 😬

God does not wish HolyC to compile to lowly ARM architectures

Or a fake limited time choice, as in, the character speaks as if they have to act or choose quickly! But if you don’t press anything, they’ll just stand there in a dramatic pose. Or go ahead and act as if you pressed the button anyway (Saints Row 3 had those)

Pretty sure Half Life 1 and 2 work that way, since the cutscenes happen entirely in game

As someone working with systems development (IT, programming), it’s not so much that we don’t have stuff to do, it’s just that it’s easy to get away with slacking off.

I just wish it would say why the game still isn’t available

Flower doesn’t know and the best guess is possibly what he said, a mess of rights across Valve and Vivendi (bought by Activision in 2008)

Never heard of this game before and man, what a shitty situation the Rewolf team ended up in.

Unskippable cutscenes. While I do love Soul Reaver’s storytelling, sometimes I just want to skip the damn thing and get on with the adventure.

Walking simulators. The devs just wanted to tell a story, not make a game.

Once fell for a high yield bitcoin scam.

How much is the pay for those gigs?

Again, there are better ways to state the point you wanted to get across. Hate and empathy do enter into it, especially hate, because it’s always one of the shortcuts for gaming and changing existing human systems. Blame the different, claim to be pure and superior, get a following, storm the enemy. This isn’t new or exclusive to any culture, it’s been around since before the first cities were founded.

Also, the humans involved in attaining power are not necessarily smart, they can be delusional but charismatic leaders, which immediately makes “the human is better than the system” wrong. Pol Pot is perhaps one of the best examples: he wasn’t smart by any measure, but was charismatic enough to have a loyal following and had enough enemies, real and made up, to blame for every woe the people suffered. Solano Lopez, Paraguayan dictator in the 1860s, is another great example of delusional leader - his generals and captains knew that contradicting his military orders, even when they were suicidal and tactically unfeasible, meant being executed as a traitor. Delivering factually correct news that the Paraguayan army was defeated at any skirmish or battle also meant, at the very least, prison time.

So your point is “hate the game, not the player”?

Keep in mind that, unlike a car or a toaster that rely on the laws of physics to function, human laws rely on human enforcement, which is why they can be ignored, changed and gamed. Unenforced laws are the same as said law not existing.

Still, there are many better ways to state that (people put that person in that position because the system worked as intended/was gamed) without sounding like we should feel empathy for people that tend to be terrible to large populations

Fiction is fake, op is writing a gay character, making this a 4chan greenpost, which is a sign of mental illness

Eh, old fucks and young fucks alike have fucked shit up since we learned to walk upright. The main cause of many of our worldly problems for the past ~150 years is ultra rich people.
