  • Where are all the Democrats saying that Democrats would be anti-genocide after the election?

    Guess who is still in power, and guess who just backed out of their ultimatum and refused to reduce military aid to Israel even after they failed to let aid in.

  • That contextualizes their motivation to post this in a whole other light if true...

    "Look at these people (whose infrastructure we destroyed and who we have made desperate through starvation and inhumane treatment) acting so uncivilized (trying to get to the aid before we have a chance to destroy it)"

  • I'm also not sure what point you're trying to make but it's worth pointing out that "drawing borders" and "European colonization and ethnic cleansing / genocide" are very different degrees of fuckery and you're conflating both types here.

  • Do you realize that the Democrats have been in power the whole time this full on genocide has been taking place?

    Democrats were the ones giving false ultimatums.

    Democrats were the ones making excuses and giving the green light.

    They're exactly the same on this issue. Do you think Democrats have held Netenyahu back at all?

  • that's just simply not true. if you look at the project lifecycle for a game very little resources are spent in preproduction, the bulk of the time is in production. preproduction usually has all of the core mechanics and ideas implemented by the end, then it's just about executing on that plan. there's not a lot of experimentation and iteration once you are in full tilt production mode

  • yes and if human well being was the goal over profit. profit benefits the few, and it's an amoral driving force. unfortunately it's been conflated with freedom and fairness.

  • If your goal is to achieve realistic looking city streets the best way to do that isn't an expensive online infrastructure and much more advanced simulation.

    If the developers had the skills and time to do that they could more easily have more dense NPC crowds and richer local simulation.

    The reason the games aren't already like that is likely just cost, talent, and target performance, which you'd need a lot more of to execute your plan.

  • I am doubting myself now after not being able to quickly find a verified source but I've worked with lots of smart TVs and seem to recall Samsung or LG models using this simulated effect. It would have had to have been simulated since there was no signal coming in, and I recall the pattern being noticably pseudo random.

    As for why: I have no idea! Maybe just for user familiarity reasons, since a lot of people grew up with that kind of analog feedback that the antenna wasn't getting a signal.

    Take what I said with a grain of salt, though, since like I said I wasn't able to quickly verify it. It's a vivid but ambiguous memory, though, since I also thought it was strange
