can’t answer for wow but i imagine the change is similar for runescape, where

• people engage with the game more efficiently than before, which slurps the fun out
• people have jobs now, so they don’t have as much free time to play games

you’ve been scammed because that’s only 6

i don’t really understand how you make use of them like this when they inherently make all of duh rules

the tld is .uk in that case

just take the L good lord

Hozier’s Moment’s Silence (Common Tongue) references Trump in the first line

Highly Suspect’s Viper Strike is more or less all about him and his ilk

• absolute population growing
• share of population with feasible access to pokemon-compatible consoles growing
• share of population who see video games as a legitimate pastime growing

i don’t get it

Like, what “leeway” does Kamala have to say anything different than she already has, which she could shift to?

a significant enough chunk of her voter base credibly withholding a vote based on a desired policy change would force a shift toward that desired policy change

i’d say biden’s platform in 2020 was significantly more left-wing than clinton’s in 2016

But that was then, and this is now.

this is the same “it’s too late” or “it’s too unprecedented” or whatever you want to pick that was exactly the justification for biden being kept in as long as he was

I think it really does show voting not for a 3rd party but voting for the other side b/c “bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe” (the title of the post), specifically wrt genocide.

people the post targets aren’t voting red. they’re just not voting at all, or voting third party. it’s an argument to a position held by an insignificant fraction of the left-anti-harris crowd.

it doesn’t address the core issue they have. they’d say that continuing to vote for the least-bad party is the reason both parties are bad, and that at a certain point you have to attempt to force a more radical change.

they’re not suggesting a third party candidate can win

they’re suggesting that the democratic platform can shift

which is what people said before biden was replaced

it was her fault for spilling the e. coli in her lap

anybody on the left withholding their vote at this point fundamentally disbelieves in a system with exactly two discrete options, so this type of post doesn’t persuade anybody

• Decay of radon-222 isn’t the only way lead can be created, just a way
• The U238 that started the chain could pre-date the earth
• Half life is only when half of the sample has decayed, but less than half could have decayed into lead

literally is objectively correct in this context

from the big stew out back

Hackers acting as if they’re doing a public service by bringing down a free publicly accessible tool is a new level of assbackwardness.

are the zendesk hackers the same as the ones who brought down the website initially?

e.g., starfield would’ve been a very different game had you been able to fly space -> surface, and had there been vehicles to do actual exploring with

it would’ve completely changed the way the game plays, and opened up new possibilities for design. it also would’ve removed many of the oft-criticized loading screens and made the whole experience flow better.

but they can’t do any of that, because the engine isn’t good enough to support it.

sometimes you can’t make a choice because the engine says no

Bethesda can’t improve because they keep catering for the lowest common denominator

even in your ideal world where they perfect the world, quests and characters, tes 6 is still going to suck if core gameplay plays the same as skyrim, which played the same as oblivion

they can’t improve that core gameplay without a better engine

new vegas and london are popular in the same way 1 and 2 are popular, which is “not mainstream enough to sustain a studio like bethesda”.

which is historically how they made up the difference between the lackluster gameplay

you and i must have been playing different bethesda games, because none of them have been particularly interesting story-wise
