I'm going to be angry about microtransaction once the game actually runs. A 5800X3D and 7900XT should not be getting 20 - 40 FPS with medium settings at 1440p.

FYI there's already a solution: Public transit. I understand the US doesn't have it but the solution already exists.

In Russia the olicarchs are directly ruling the country so you can't criticise them without endangering your life. In the US the capitalist class heavily influences the politics but isnt the one directly ruling the country so you can criticise the politicians all you want. That's the difference I was pointing out.

In the US you can apparently sue software companies that make software sometimes used for piracy so it apparently doesn't even need to be illegal there for people to shut it down if they are rich enough.

Oh yea, true but that less about politics and more about capitalist creed. The US also has a police system that seemingly runs on the ritual sacrifice of innumerable black folk and pets but that is also not relevant.

US politics is absolutely retarded but at least you aren't going to fall out of a window for criticizing the president.

I can see why they would do this if their servers are in the US, Japan, Germany or another country with insane copyright laws. If not this move is stupid, almost as stupid as hosting your server in one of those countries.

Veebimajutus. They are a local registrar in my country and I like to support local businesses.

They made a lot of errors but the greatest was probably appointing a guy in charge of agriculture who knew less than nothing about it. Forcing farmers to plant crops way too densely because "communist plants won't compete for resources" causing several huge famines was probably worse.

At least during the soviet occupation they gave you fruit to show up and vote for the one choice. I got my first orange that way.

Depends on the moon stage, your horoscope and your palm reading.

I have tried it on several setups and I get different results every time.

Thankfully I started in tech before video games were really a thing but I have had coworkers from gaming industries and they were the most jaded people I had ever met when they started out. They were also universally shocked how little work they had to do for the money they got.

Oh yea, I can't remember what game it was but the fact it had a launcher where you had to click play with the touch pad was enough that it wasn't verified. It's a pretty high bar.

My first impression on reading the title was UNGA was doing a vote to do some Islamophobia but India was like we can hate all religions equally. The article cleared it up but I liked my version more.

Could entirely be. I just remember seeing the UK as a country of origin when looking for a slow cooking Tikka masala recipe and being disgusted with myself for enjoying English cuisine. Like there was no warning, no beans involved or anything.

Nah, living next to Russia is a pretty good educator on that. I know there are way too many people on Lemmy who go the other direction with US exceptionalism and make the assumption that the US is the most powerful and everything bad is their fault while usually being American. I know you aren't going to believe any country does bad things that are also anti US, I'm just shouting into the void when I'm waiting for something or another to pass the time.

I have rotated between countless titles over several decades. What I do hasn't really changed. Currently I'm not even aware what my official title is and when someone asks I usually say something along the lines of I make IT go but in my native language.

Sure would seem that way if you stopped reading right there.

The US definitely has the greatest advantage in spreading disinformation but in terms of who does it to the greatest scale would probably be Russia.

When I was young the soviet propaganda was more of a joke around here during the occupation since it was insanely obvious but currently Russia is very effective with it. They managed to basically take chunks out of 3 countries before any other country even did anything really and help quell to riots in Belarus that would have most likely lead to Russia losing dominance there.

All while the US has media dominance across the world and most countries still heavily dislike the US. In terms of effectiveness the US propaganda in their media is about as effective as the Soviet era Russian one. The US is definitely not getting their dollar value for propaganda.

Yea, Singapore noodles are from Hong Kong and Tikka Masala is from the UK of all places.
