Snapchat and Instagram are in a traffic jam for third place, with the ephemeral messaging app used by 60% of respondents and opened every day by 58%.

Interesting. When I was in high school 6 years ago everybody had snapchat, and most people had instagram. And I mean everybody. Everybody I knew had me as a friend on snapchat and your clique was whose snapchat group chat you were in.

It’s a slap in the face into every victim of an actual genocide.

As opposed to comparing the death rate to the Rwandan genocide? You are literally using dead human beings as a statistic here. The "other side" isn't. C'mon man.

I’m not doing that.

You literally are. You are comparing different genocides and using one statistic to claim that the term "genocide" doesn't apply. Which is especially odd to me considering the term "genocide" has never had a number attached to it. This is why we're able to call the Rohingya Genocide a genocide even though it "only" killed up to 43,000, when the Holocaust killed 6,000,000. The numbers here do not matter.

using death tolls as a dick measuring contest to determine what is and isn't a genocide is really disgusting. I hope you know that. I gave you an upvote because I appreciate your take on this and your sources for everything else. But I really hope we can exist in a space without saying "It doesn't count as a genocide because enough people didn't die." Fuck off with that.

It belonged to a pliosaur, an extinct marine reptile that terrorized the oceans from the earliest Jurassic to early Late Cretaceous periods, approximately 150 million years ago.

Considering the pliosaur was alive from ~200 Ma to 66 Ma, 150 Ma is one hell of an approximation lol

"we've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing"

if you think Israel is an apartheid state or Ukraine is a nazi state, consider blocking me.

Doing a lot of putting your head in the sand lately, have we?

sounds like the steam store already

I can tell from these 6 words the only game with a semblance of sandbox elements you can think of is Minecraft.

Since GTA 3.

GTA is both a narrative series and a sandbox game series but is primarily a sandbox series. In every GTA game you can just do whatever you want once you get past the first 1 or 2 boxed-in missions. I think GTA V is the one that takes the longest to get you going.

Agreed. 3, SA, and VC were so successful that when similar original games came out, most people just called them "GTA clones." Just like with Doom back in the 90s, where any FPS was a Doom clone.

"degenerates?" Really? Are you 14 years old? We can use other words that aren't neo nazi rhetoric, thanks.

Also:

GTA doesn't have that so I made up my own scenarios.

Congrats. You're playing a sandbox game how it was meant to be played.

There was an article on here a little while ago that said games are getting so massive that a 10 - 12 year development cycle is not only unexpected, but should become the norm soon

GTA V came out when I wasn't even in secondary school yet and now GTA VI is supposed to release when I should have a degree.

I'd rather they conserve resources to make a finished game on some platforms than an unfinished one on many. Look what happened when CDPR tried to release Cyberpunk on 9 platforms at once.

Holy shit dude that's crazy

That is not what all trailers are.

It's a teaser.

It may not be political but it did seem they leaned into the whole "Florida man" stereotype. Plus the alligator walking into a gas station.

nah here's the real one

Then they can just say that.

See, my issue (not the person you're talking to but the person who sparked this conversation) was with the original commenters generalization.

I get you. I really do. But when you get rid of all the fluff and just say "people laugh at you, you're hurt, you're fragile," it has implications that go way beyond Elon Musk. That's the issue. If they had bothered to specify the stuff you did then maybe I wouldn't be upset by it, but they deliberately chose not to. Just like the people you don't like deliberately chose to buy that car.
