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^[Caçador, Atirador, Colecionador (hunters, sport shooters, collectors) the term used in Brazil to denote civilians that can legally buy guns] 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.

Well, why weren't you investing 100 USD in Amazon every month since 1997, Vijay? Or since 2007?

No one wants to be on the "being exploited" end, but that's the main feature of current capitalism: a million losers for each winner

Color me prplpected

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 😬

Rookie. I'm on a wholly different intelligence power level, as this completely factual certificate certifies!

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

Makes no sense to target me as I'm not an admin anywhere and, afaik, you can always tell who's an admin or moderator on discord. But eh, these guys aren't exactly known for being smart

Easy as an adult, not so much as a kid with a similar age

Books were a luxury

I love the look of that picture, not gonna lie. It oozes the style of something from late 80s/early 90s. Is it from a game manual?

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.

The main tell for me were the letters. Too much "white scratching", as if the person was using a drybrush to write that

Huh, I'm not on discord often, but I did get some DMs begging me for a commission work, "it's cheap bro, only 10 dollars bro" - bro, I live in fucking Brazil and earn BRL, not USD.

Didn't know it was an actual scam attempt, just random spam from starving artists.
