Let’s abolish all copyright then

That's a great idea! Copyright is completely broken and only benefits large corporations with the lawyers to enforce it. It is nonsensical and the constant extensions to US copyright have diluted public domain and open-source works. In fact, the constant and rampant breaking of copyright and stretching the definitions of fair use is a side effect of the public’s lack of options in the public domain space.

Yeah, this is what I don't get. "Good artists copy, great artists steal." This is a quote for a reason. Everything is just a remix of something else. Just look at the shit Andy Warhol put out.

Also, you can't copyright AI art, so I'm not sure what the point of paying money for AI art is for.

Metroid Dread's difficulty was wack, in comparison to more perfectly balanced ones like Super Metroid or Metroid Prime 2.

I had to stop playing when I was wondering what the hell I was doing with my life trying to fight this same stupid boss for the 10th time, which wanted me to deal with awkward diagonal shooting mechanics and focus on some tiny weak point, while trying to dodge whatever it was trying to throw at me at the same time. Maybe it was Drogyga? I forget.

I was already not in love with the instant death mechanics with frame-perfect quick time events that purposely change the fucking timing. just to make it an RNG nightmare.

You have constitutional amendments for this exact scenario.

WTF does this actually mean? You do realize that constitutional amendments require a 2/3rds majority, right?

And what the hell amendment are you suggesting?

I didn't really see anything block-worthy in that comment.

a brutal blacksmithing action game with a cruel Dark Souls core

And this is why I didn't finish Metroid Dread. Good job continuing the trend of Dark-Souls-ifying everything that is good in the world.

The top oligarchs like Elon barely even registered it.

Elon admitted to Jon Rogan a week or two ago that he's using his kid as a human shield to protect himself from an assassin.

If you wanna know what they’re afraid of, look at where they spend money - buying politicians and opposing attempts to regulate them and break up their monopolies.

Actually, mob justice and dying actually does scare them. It's the one thing they can't just buy their way out of.

Cut billions of dollars in aid to the poorest people in the world? Without having any authority to do it? An average person would stop and think “how many people are going to die from this?” Or, more selfishly, “what consequences will I face in the future if I do something so fundamentally evil?” Or, more practically, “is what I’m doing legal, and will Trump and Musk throw me under the bus and claim I acted without orders if I get criminally charged for this?”

These kids aren’t thinking about long-term consequences. They’re thinking “the richest man in the world chose me to transform America and I have to live up to his expectations”.

You've almost got it right. An average person would stop and think about shit like that. A psychopath would not.

They may be young adults, but they are still adults. Adults still go to prison for doing stupid shit that gets people killed. All of these adults are getting people killed. Literally.

They know why they are in that department and job. They want to take an active part in dismantling their own government.

Fuck these people.

Is "my homie" the new "some people say"?

I'm sorry, but that video is tiny. Can you make it any bigger? I need it to cover both of my monitors.

Sounds like a shit place to work for. Hopefully, you found somewhere better.

Ditto.

This is also a really good game on phone. Easy to pick up, very good UI for mobile, and you can pause at any time.

For people who pirate HBO service products, no changes, your lifetime subscription to piracy is still valid.

Damn right it is.

This post should be pinned on some Wall of Shame.

I'm torn on this one. Unfortunately, the Telsa charger plug format has essentially become the standard for EVs. Either your EV car uses it, or you carry around a converter, so that you can use a large chunk of non-Telsa (or Telsa) charging stations. So, vandalizing charging stations makes the already hard-to-find EV chargers even more scarce.

I think it's more productive to vandalize advertisements for Telsa.

Thanks. I'm glad somebody watched it.

I think the only hard part is trying to figure out what you need to do next, which a walkthrough can help with, if you're stuck. The combat and puzzles are challenging, but it wasn't overly difficult, IMO.

I was hoping this, too. I know the SS1 Remake had a long history of scope creep, so maybe they didn't have the appetite to tackle the same thing with SS2.

But, even if they took what they had with the SS1 engine and build the same thing with SS2, it would have been much much better, and not take nearly as long as the SS1 remake. They already have most of the assets and interfaces built.
