  • I've literally restarted explorer before to accomplish certain workarounds (like getting the old right click menu back) and had zero issues with data loss.

    I don't see how you could have lost data because the shell crashed when I intentionally killed it and had zero interruptions to my workflow. I'm pretty sure it's just a way to interact with the file system.

  • Hamas didn't have a plan beyond "shake the hornets nest and hope the other side puts us in a better position after the rubble is cleared." They just wanted to cause a disturbance that would put them on the world stage again.

  • Bioware really loves giving zero information for years and the pretending their trailers are of any value at all.

    Mass Effect hasn't had content since 2017 and we have like two minutes worth of "show nothing, hit nostalgia button" trailers since then. DA looks to be in a similar spot.

    Is it an EA problem? A Bioware problem? Who knows lol just can't wait to finally see the franchise I love most shit the bed on launch. Again.

  • You're wrong about China, in my time in service we were always more wary of them than with Russia/NK.

    China learned the lesson Russia failed to do, build an economy first and a military second. Sure they stole most of their R&D'd technology, but they have it, and they understand it well enough to keep up with our military technology. Unfortunately they also have the population and ability to mass produce that could keep a war machine turning for a long time even in a traditional engagement.

    Are they as well trained? Probably not. They're still a powerhouse of a country and our most significant threat.

  • I didn't say there was a rule for it.

    Four years isn't enough time for technology to develop and make a significantly more powerful console, that would be like buying a new 1100 dollar phone because they made the camera slightly better and the battery not as shit.

    Consoles aren't just PC's, their physical architecture is completely different. Even if it was the same, I wouldn't go out and build a completely new PC every four years because that would be a waste of money. I wouldn't even notice a difference on most games.

  • 4 years is the typical halfway upgrade, not a new gen. Gens are usually 7-8 years.

  • Funny, cause Michael Dorn and Mirina Sirtis were in Mass Effect. I guess Bioware knows their crowd.

  • Common mistake, you're thinking of the goodwill he used to have with his audience that he shit in.

  • Yeah it's difficult to have kids when you and your spouse can barely afford a one bedroom apartment together, people have longer debt payoff periods now due to the skyrocketing rate of education. That needs to be taken care of before you incur the debt that a child leads to.

    Cars, housing, education have all become insanely overpriced and it's seriously slowing down how quickly people can start families of their own.

  • There's no way in hell that isn't an old wives tale.

    1. There's no blue collar worker's because it doesn't pay enough.
    2. Educated people can and should work in blue collar fields, but unfortunately our society bases everything on money, so leaving blue collar work for higher paying jobs is literally the dear and fluffy capitalism you love so much. Anyone with an education is going to seek the highest paying job possible and none of those are blue collar.
    3. "working class" doesn't mean field hands and electricians, it means everyone that isn't a multi millionaire. I work in IT and am still working class, you work blue collar and are working class, the salesman that works for a bank is working class. Unless you're the owner of a business entity and do not have to work to pay your bills, then you're "working class."
    4. The conservative ideology has ground the middle class into non-existence through the deregulation of the market and the abysmal failure of trickle down economics. Compounded by the uselessness of the Democratic party (cause they're all just old money career politicians too, what a surprise) not doing a damn thing when they're in control of the legislative branch. Not because educated people made fun of yokels too much. You're drawing conclusions out of your feelings, not reality.
  • You're asking a question meant to illustrate that I don't know what I'm talking about because you didn't understand my original comment or you are trying to discredit me because you believe I'm conservative. I'm not, I just think the meme itself is derivative and doesn't understand the POV of conservatives. They aren't convinced gay people have all the money, they just hate LGBT people in general because they're bigots and believe the economy is shit for different reasons entirely.

    Strawman arguments seem to be a commonality everywhere, it's not really useful outside of circle jerking that you're smart and no one else is.

  • Sorry I'll try to illustrate this better.

    Liberal ----> Communist

    As in, anything to the left of conservative which is the majority user base of the lemmy community. Yes I'm aware liberals are capitalists still, don't try to play these stupid games you know what I meant.

  • Bugs and performance aside it was still a mess with very little to make it an lifelike and interesting place. The combat was unbalanced as hell, with only a few things being viable and the most effective classes in combat could be multi-specc'd. Sure why not have a hacker that can slow mo and use melee while also being proficient with guns? No way that could break the game balance.

    Literally just overhauling the police system doubled the interactivity of the game by allowing you to actually engage with the crime&justice system beyond getting instantly killed by MaxTac because they can spawn three stories up and four blocks from where you just killed someone with a silenced sniper rifle.

    I've a day one buyer and I wouldn't even consider the game worth full price until 2.0. I'd say it was maybe worth 30-40 with 1.6 because most of the egregious bugs had been removed.

  • Making fun of conservatives on a largely liberal-communist website, damn nothing braver than that lol
