Just got around to beating Titanfall 2 for the first time. It was a great plaaythrough, and not that long at all. You can beat it in under 8 hours, no problem. I think it took me 6 or 7 hours. Def recommended if you're into scifi shooters with mechs and kick-ass set pieces.
This. We as a community can do our part to downvote bad info (at least on kbin, idk if Lemmy has downvoting or not) and commenting to let people know what's up--but that will only go so far and we're not gonna catch everything. We can also report harmful misinformation that we see, but all the same, plenty of users will still receive and buy into it before it's dealt with. We need well-moderated communities for a reasonable level of peace of mind.
I wonder what the full scope of privacy benefits might be here? Obviously, if you log into your account and interact with videos, YouTube will be able to see that--but are you protected from other forms of tracking? If you don't opt to login, how private is it really? With NewPipe, I know it's completely private, whereas with Vanced, there were some inevitable privacy holes. I'm really curious where this application falls in all of that. It'd be nice to see a breakdown of what this app does and does not do for one's privacy.
I love most names. I know that sounds stupid, but I have a weird fascination with names. I love meeting people with names I haven't heard before, it makes me really happy. I also love to introduce my friends to people with fake names, like I might introduce two people to each other as Telemachus Entwhistle and Victoria Saint Watercress, then walk away and let them figure out their real names. Sometimes I use people's full names in fake anger, but make up a middle name, like Aloysius or Jezebel, or make up a name that their already full first name might be short for.
One of my favorite jokes in all of TV is the running gag on Psych where the main character introduces his friend and partner, Gus, by a different name in every episode, like Lavender Gumes or Galileo Humpkins.I really don't know why I find it so amusing, but I love it.
I think some of my actual favorite names, like ones I might really name a kid, would be like Ruth, Miles, Olivia, Matthew, James, Joe, Sorrel, Elan, Evan, Lyric, Bear, Atticus, and Cynthia.
I know you didn't mean it this way, but the implication that there are "breeds" of people can be very offensive, as it compares someone's lineage to domesticated animals. Racists have long used the term "breed" to describe disenfranchised minority groups in an intentionally derogatory manner. Culture and heritage are baked into our identities, and they are very dear to many people's hearts and vital to our sense of self, which is why you're getting the responses that you are.
It's also not scientifically accurate, because breeds are bred. They are not naturally occurring variations in a species, they are bred for a purpose, by humans, through artificial selection. It's why there are breeds of dogs, cats, and horses, but we don't normally use that word for starfish or rhinos.
Humans don't have breeds because we are not bred with intention in the way that dogs are. We are products of our environment, our culture, and our history. Race is a construct, and the closest thing we have is ethnicity, which is essentially just our ancestry's geographical origins.
Rogue One was the first time I feel like we got to see Vader as properly terrifying. That was my favorite appearance of his until Jedi: Fall Order came out, and omfg he is even scarier in that one. I love scary Vader.
Kenobi was hit and miss. There were moments like when he had Kenobi backed into a corner, then Kenobi lit a fire between them and escaped, like Vader couldn't deal with that? I feel like he would have like parted the flames or tried to pull Kenobi into them or something. He just let him go, but then we see him indiscriminantly killing people in the streets and it's like, "okay, there he is."
Yep. I haven't played since then, partly for the reason you said and partly cause they took away Linux support at the same time, even if you already owned the game on Steam where Linux was fully supported.
How old are we talking? Final Fantasy VI, Super Metroid, Resident Evil 2, and the OG Tomb Raider series are all pretty old but great.
Portal, Portal 2, Mirror's Edge, Alien Isolation, Child of Light, Celeste, Tales of Berseria, Final Fantasy XIII, Slime Rancher, the newer Tomb Raifer games, and A Plague Tale are a few games from previous gens that hold up really well.
A more recent game that flew under a lot of people's radars is Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and it was a lot of fun. Also, Atelier Ryza and Alba: A Wildlife Adventure are very worth mentioning, too. :)
