Etterra , in Never forget what they took from us...

Don’t forget the needless implementation of always-online single player games. Even for single/multiplayer games like PoE or anything Diablo, there’s literally no technical need to have a connection. It’s just fancy DRM for Blizzard and an excuse to milk you more microtransactions for PoE.

And before anyone regurgitates Blizzard’s BS about anti-cheat, it’s very possible to keep multiplayer characters on the server and single player on your computer and never have them interact or permit single player loot to be sold on their marketplace. Not to mention their regular online check for D2R. Blizzard has ALWAYS used aggressively hostile DRM. If they could virus bomb thieves’ computers then they absolutely would.

Just in case you missed it: there have been serious accusations against Till Lindemann, the singer of Rammstein, recently. Apparently his band managers contact young female Rammstein fans on social media before concerts, inviting them to secret after show parties where they get lots of alcohol and Till can choose one to drug even more and take to bed with him. Multiple women have come forward with similar claims and the social media thing has been well documented as far as I know. The case went to court but was dropped because there wasn’t enough proof and now he acts like nothing ever happened. I think everyone listening to the band should know about this.

Assuming consent in general, the only illegal part was

Till can choose one to drug even more

punkisundead ,

I judge people on plenty of things that are legal. You probably do it too

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Rock stars, groupies, parties and drugs are as old as music itself.

Consent is the only issue here.

amelia ,

Rock stars, groupies, parties and drugs are as old as music itself.

That doesn’t apply to having a team that does sex casting on social media for the artist though.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Disagree. I don’t see why someone’s popularity is relevant.

The only thing of importance is freely given consent.

Stitch0815 ,

“Hey he only raped someone! Leave him alone already. Also other people also did it before.”

This is what you sound like.

Besides your point beeing incredibly idiotic, there is also way more to the story, like abuse of power. If you bring somone behind 3 lines of massive bouncers and take their phones away basically nothing you do afterwards has anything to do with consent.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

So all bands should allow phones backstage and have no bouncers?

Consent is the key issue here, for both drugs and sex. I’m making no apologies for anyone who abuses either.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

Drunk and drugged people can’t consent.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Agreed. Rockstar status is irrelevant.

Belgdore ,

Ah yes, the only illegal part is the rape.

Johanno ,

Well the court case went by innocent, because none of the women who claimed to be drugged showed up.

You can make with that information what you want.

Draedron ,

I wonder how someone is supposed to defend themselves against accusations when even a lack of evidence is not enough for people.

lauha ,

While the allegations are serious, we cannot keep spreading rumors that have not been shown true. It’s a work for the justice system to determine the guilt. Obviously I am against sexual abuse, but social media is not a justice system and there is a huge risk for innocent to be lynched.

Stitch0815 ,

Maybe But row zero alone is enough reason for me to say fuck them

MehBlah ,

Be cause no rock star ever sought out consensual sex.

Great, this post has been removed. So much for freedom of speech at this sub.

Leviathan ,

I disagree, how can someone’s share of responsibility in a situation that includes the actions and motivations of another person be 100%? That’s incorrect at best.

computerscientistII ,

Great. removed by mods. So much for freedom of speech at this sub.

StaySquared ,

Probably an accusation created by the FBI because Rammstein made a song about America. /shrug

cows_are_underrated ,

As others already pointed out, none of the woman accusing Lindemann was willing to go to court with their claims. Even tho, that so far it looks like everything he did was legal you can still talk about him absuing the power he has over his fans. I kinda doubt, that a lot of girls would say no, if a 40 year older rock superstar asks for sex. Legally speaking she may gave her consent, but morally I think that he devinetively abused his power and status.

  1. Just avoid AAA slop from big publishers, problem solved.
  2. Quite ironic you’re using an AI generated image for it considering the same AAA publishers are considering using it. I really hope you don’t think “DEI” and “wokeness” are responsible for these AAA publishers pushing multiplayer-first games on us.

Ui, den Eintrag in der FAQ gibt’s ja nach all den Jahren immernoch Ü

Ihr seid kein Metal. Ihr habt keine Gitarren. Ihr seid Schwuchteln.

Danke. Endlich sagt’s mal wer. Und - wie läuft’s mit deiner Band? Wann spielt ihr auf dem Wacken? ;-)

Should I watch Megamind?

I know nothing about it except that memes indicate people like it. I’m usually on board with a DreamWorks or Pixar movie but I’d mentally sorted this one into the ‘not for me’ category along with Minions for some reason (not intending to compare the two).

Varven OP ,
@Varven@lemmy.world avatar

Yes the first one yes definitely just don’t watch anything after the first one after the first one it’s a cringe fest

logging_strict ,

I live for cringe!

Dead Snow I was sad.

Dead Snow II i’m still besides myself. They hit the ball out of the genre!

But if you can’t appreciate (good) cringe then the point would be missed

@Varven@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not talking about good cringe I’m talking about bad cringe

Nefara ,

Yes, the first one is goofy but it did the whole “what would an actually average person do with superhero powers” shtick before it was cool, and managed to make it funny and pretty sweet too.

BadNewsNobody ,

IMHO…fuck yes! It’s a funny and clever movie that should’ve gotten more recognition but was overshadowed by other releases that same year. As a grown man on the edge of 40 it’s one of my favorite movies and never fails to get a laugh. Endlessly quotable, lots of clever little jokes and gags that are hilarious when you notice them.

I’d say it’s absolutely worth at least one watch and if you like it enough to watch it again you’ll definitely notice some things that you didn’t the first time around and get a whole new set of laughs.

MindTraveller ,

Yes, it’s a commentary on the way that generational systematic racism and overpolicing negatively impact black youths. And also a deconstruction of incel ideology.

cordlesslamp ,

How DARE YOU put the sacred name of Megamind equal to those yellow turds.

Kacarott ,

To be fair, the first despicable me was decent imo. But the abominations which followed…

cordlesslamp ,

Yeah, I agree with you. Now it feels like they’re based their entire studio’s identity on those yellow turd and milking it to the bone.

Snowclone ,

The whole idea was to make money the whole time!!!

Snowclone ,

It’s surprisingly funny with a lot of absurdist humor, there’s a lot to like, but also not every film is for everyone.
