Well for starters we would need to actually have a decent third party that’s worth voting for

That excess deaths number is the total for all above-ground nuclear bomb tests ever done combined.

Should be allowed anywhere people acknowledge reality lol. The number of people on Lemmy who think that they’re gonna magically change the world by complaining loudly on a tiny Internet forum and labeling literally everyone that disagrees with them for any reason a genocide supporter is utterly astounding…and more than a little ironic given how many of them are out here fangirling over Mao and Stalin.

Like, holy fuck dude. The far left echo chamber here is so far off in la-la-land it makes the people I see ranting in my Facebook feed seem well-informed by comparison. You guys literally have no idea how anything gets done in the real world lol.

Keep it up with this “all or nothing” mentality, and you’re gonna get nothing every single time.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Replace ‘anti-semites’ with ‘right-wingers’, and there’s your answer

I don’t spend enough time on Facebook to bother with any of that shit, I just notice it’s incredibly prevalent whenever I do happen to open it up

Facebook, if my feed is any indication.

If it’s anything like what happens in the US they’re dumping “excess” production to keep prices artificially high.

We already have that. You can spend your entire life in a loving relationship with somebody and still not have rights to medical information, power of attorney, or any of the numerous tax benefits that come along with marriage

Sounds like a great way to make sure the number of marriages plummets even faster than it already has been

“Anything”

They grasp it just fine, but they make money of covering him and have enough of said money to insulate themselves from the consequences of their actions.

None of us signed up for this shit.

Some parts of the interface are actually pretty similar to the old Kings Quest/Quest for Glory games lol. For instance you still cycle through the cursor with a right click to look, talk, walk, and left left click to use the action shown by the cursor etc. The combat is substantially different, and sort of like KoTOR you can pause during combat and plan the next moves for all your party members. It also helps to have at least some understanding of AD&D’s combat system, THAC0 in particular, as that is what the combat is based on.

But yeah if you’ve been gaming long enough that you remember the golden age of Sierra games then you will probably be able to appreciate BG1 and 2

That was the plan from the start.

• Take-Two, apparently

IMO the user interface/controls/gameplay of BG1 just feels so dated compared to modern games. If you didn’t play it back in the day and have that extra nostalgia bonus when you go to play it now, you may just find yourself thinking the game is super clunky and wondering what all the hype was about.

That being said, the story is second to none, and the story of BG2 is arguably as good or better. So if you don’t mind the somewhat-dated play style and want a good story, they could be right up your alley.

Followed by the first ever post-credits scene to also be a full-blown sequel, 28 Seconds Later

Oh it’s still incredibly USA centric, at least as far as the content shared and discussed in English is concerned. The userbase just gets their biased talking points from Russian bot farms instead of US media outlets lol. I guess that counts as more global.

Lemmy: everybody sucking Putin or Xi Jinping’s dick
