This is the bit that I've had a hard time with. And, to put it in less snide allegorical terms: Israel is in many ways the "invader". They took land, took homes, that weren't theirs. That invasion has been justified through massive harm to their people, and the need for a "safe space" they can call their own. But while that's the in-person justification by individuals, the backroom justification used to ship the weapons is achieving a "Western presence" in the middle east.

Something the Jewish community might not get is: They're not the only group that's been targeted for hate throughout history. The holocaust didn't even specifically target jews. We don't get to make a "Transgender state", or a "Black American state", and especially not displace others for that. In some ways the world needs to accept that, whether by 10 miles or 100, we'll still be neighbors on this planet and not totally unreachable. Set that distance, and it means you only get boiling points like 9/11 rather than shots fired in a neighborhood.

From what I know, most of the effort goes to moderation - both when posting text, and video. We only get to see the moderated content, so we don’t know how much horrible shit there is.

Maybe I'm a simp for IOI, but the CEO's allegations that the game might be getting paid-off negative press makes me curious. There have definitely been games in history that I've seen overwhelming negative reactions to from the internet, I tried them out and...they're actually really fun. Sometimes it just feels simpler to join the bandwagon without trying a game out, not knowing a good 60% of that bandwagon might be paid trolls. I've always hated vague statements like "The game was released unfinished" or shit regarding paid extra content.

Anyway, all that is just my opinion that I'm going to wait and see, at the very least.

From what I can tell, this region is notorious for gangstalking, especially against gay men. Many of these reports could likely be falsified to justify the idea of killing him.

I don't see any inconsistency about the fire if the article itself says that the cause is under investigation. Joss believed it's possible he made a mistake, but it seems more likely to be caused by the same people that threatened arson, and possibly the same people that murdered him.

Munitions stores are now stocking bullets forged from Enlightened Bothsidesism.

Let’s walk back and compare to a social cause that I think most people agree on.

Police violence is a problem. It’s a problem for all races, but black people have been disproportionately targeted for a long time, and are in all forms at greater risk. So, it’s fair to organize social movements around supporting that demographic to show they’re recognized and they matter; Black Lives Matter.

Male social isolation is also a problem. It’s been a problem for everyone, and loneliness affects all genders under modern social technological trends; but men are overwhelmingly gathering to movements that target their demographic and give them a sense of identity association. (Women and trans communities also gather to their exclusive groups to help identify their unique problems). Even if you don’t agree men are really victims, they can be warped into becoming perpetrators, creating more victims, if their mental health needs are not addressed.

And so, it’s fair to organize social movements around supporting that demographic to show they’re recognized and they matter; Men’s mental health matters. This of course does not need to detract from any other social causes happening.

The Geforce app used for drivers, and the app to connect to Geforce Now, are installed separately. In fact, you'd likely install the latter on weak devices that don't even have an NVidia GPU.

Yup. You log in to something like Steam or UPlay, and it lets you play games you have on your account. It’s only their supported list sadly.

The service is fast enough I’ve been able to play mouse-based shooters. Latency is not perfect, but home monitors and input devices sometimes have comparable imperfectness.

So far as I can think, wasn't the only handheld that failed the Playstation Vita? And that had very visible reasons for the failure - designing itself around an obtuse storage medium, and requiring first-party memory cards. Even with those drawbacks and with no first-party support, it had a tremendous following.

It honestly could still be a worthwhile device to chain off of, since none of the current offerings fit in a pants pocket.

For those who don’t know, GeForce Now is a cloud option when you don’t have access to a strong PC to run a game. Back when Cyberpunk 2077 was unattainable for many, my advice to some was to run it through GeForce Now.

Interestingly, they also have “day passes”, making it practical for when you are out spending most of a day away from a gaming computer. Save files still synchronize to local games when you’re back.

I’m guessing this is basically how the Xbox works already.

I’d really rather gamers focused their energy into showing support for the developer groups making cool projects, than specifically deriding any works made under publishers they dislike.

Once every few years, EA and Ubisoft produce something that’s really cool; and much as we’d rather the publishers were replaced with better ones, at the least we can be happy that developers got to put out one or two good games through them.

It will be very funny if Microsoft releases their handheld, and is instantly better with Linux.

This gets trickier with games, because an experienced game designer can, for instance, look at the UI design and graphics programming of a Ubisoft open world slopfest, and say those parts were masterfully done (even if the overall game isn't so fun). And, even the best of video games have bits of them that weren't as good.

I only have cursory knowledge of this incident, but: It's possible that was the right outcome. A lot of middle managers do some heinous shit, and then report only positive news to upper management with a "Don't worry about it" attitude.

We all know there's also evil CEOs in the world as well, but maybe the investigation found this wasn't one of them. 'Course, maybe they were just better at keeping plausible deniability.

I still think Death said it better in Hogfather.

My solution is to do all my printing at the library. All the problems related to keeping my ink cartridge ready are now their problem.

There was definitely a point in my life that I saw weed users the same as heroin, etc.

I’ve never used either, but thankfully my views have changed anyway. It does show how much harm it causes when your informative spiels get one thing wrong.
