Clbull ,

I’m contributing because I’m a bit of a meme repository and I get a more positive reception here than I do on Reddit.

Lemmy is in a healthy state.

Clbull ,

Sounds like he’s a-Biden by safety regulations.

Clbull ,

That’s one way to deal with an ageing population demographic.

Another way is to perhaps not throw every able-bodied young man into a militaristic meat grinder because you still yearn for the Soviet Union days.

Clbull ,

Doesn’t this ironically make her more qualified?

Clbull ,

A MOBA/RTS hybrid.

As in… You fight on the usual 3 lane DotA style map with towers, jungle, a main base, etc. but you control a small platoon of units you produce from a barracks instead of a champion. Your supply limit starts at 15 but can go up to a small army (maybe a cap of 50) by late game.

Your main form of income comes from killing minions, creeps, jungle camps, towers, etc.

I originally wanted to make it as a StarCraft II custom map but the map editor is more complex than actual fucking game dev software to use.

Clbull ,

Imagine that with Switch joycons.

Clbull ,

Not the same kind of racing game, but Aero GPX is shaping up to be an excellent F-Zero successor that is going to have a fully customisable track creator.

Clbull ,

Kinda…

Footman Frenzy was more about automatically massing units, buying upgrades and building deathballs. Unit compositions and counters would matter a lot more here.

This game would be more about consciously chosing what units to build and using them to fight against the enemy.

Let’s say for example… one player had two siege tanks backed by a small force of marines, marauders and medivacs. You’d fight it with two lurkers and some roaches/hydralisks.

Six teenagers in court over beheading of French teacher (www.reuters.com)

PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country’s secular values....

Clbull ,

Really don’t know what to make of this comments section. I feel like if this were the World News subreddit, this thread would have already been locked and about 90% of the commenters banned, either by the mods or the Reddit admins.

It’s surreal to see comments so hostile towards Islam, on Lemmy of all places… And some of these are arguments I often see racists throw around.

Clbull ,

I was banned from the subreddit three years ago for criticizing Saudi Arabia’s treatment of women. Because apparently the line “and other states with strict interpretation of Sharia law” was considered bigotry.

Clbull ,

Sounds like a server full of master baiters.

I don’t understand what market the PlayStation Portal was designed for.

You’re basically paying £200 for a DualSense controller MacGyver’d on a tablet screen that can only remote play PS5 games or stream from PSNow. There are both cheaper and better options which support not just Sony’s ecosystem but also other gaming platforms.

Not to mention that cloud gaming in general just sucks.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

Be like me and steal what you can from these companies. Commit delivery fraud (item never arrived when it did). Raise chargebacks etc. take what you can as that’s what they’re doing. Just don’t do it to sole businesses.

Nah, don’t do this.

Imagine being an Uber Eats or Deliveroo driver trying to make an honest living and getting sacked because some absolute bloomy rind dick cheese told people on the internet to submit fraudulent non-delivery claims.

Now imagine they alert other businesses that you steal from customers and now you’re unemployable because of what I stated above.

You’re suggesting something that will seriously fuck over the average wagie but still keep the board of directors in their comfy black leather seats. Just don’t give them your business.

I’m willing to bet you never actually worked in a customer facing job, otherwise you’d have more empathy for the average worker…

Clbull ,

The amount of people on Reddit who shill for companies like EA and Activision is shocking.

Once wrote a comment on the lines of ‘sadly, British gamers mostly have terrible taste in video games, 90% of us don’t give a shit about anything unless it’s GTA, FIFA or Call of Duty. We literally reward companies for shitty consumer practices.’

Most of the replies I got were calling me an asshole and were acting like I’m trying to police what people can like/dislike.

But still, Electronic Arts make record-breaking profits because… EA Sports: It’s In The Game (you bought last year)

Clbull ,

I’m British. Don’t put the Dutch in the same group as us. Our local ‘cuisine’ truly is a crime to food.

Clbull ,

To that I say ‘what American food?’

Because there’s a massive difference in quality between a Big Mac and a Philly Cheesesteak

Clbull ,

I’ve heard differing things about Kazakhstan’s reaction. Wasn’t there a time where Sacha Baron Cohen would have been a dead man if he entered Kazakh borders?

Also, Kazakhstan actually has a really nice national anthem that 100% does not deserve to be overshadowed by a satirical one that mocks their country.

We had BLM protests here in Britain too, but George Floyd isn’t the main reason we’ve grown to distrust cops.

Two years ago, a serving Metropolitan police officer ‘arrested’ a young woman who was walking home from her friend’s house on the basis of her breaching COVID lockdown guidelines. He then raped and murdered her. The Metropolitan Police then proceeded to brutally crack down upon a peaceful vigil held to mourn her.

Wayne Couzens is thankfully serving life without parole for his sickening crime, and the ladies who were manhandled, tackled down and detained during the vigil have been compensated by the courts. This whole scandal because the catalyst that led to Cressida Dick resigning as the Met Police Commissioner (long overdue), and investigations that found institutionalized racism and misogyny in the Met.

Another example is the ‘Kill the Bill’ protests, which were protests held against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill which was going through Parliament, which essentially wanted to give the police greater powers to suppress peaceful protests and dish out ten year prison sentences for causing a public nuisance. This came off the back of environmental groups blocking roads to protest the government’s inaction on climate change.

Protests to oppose the bill led to a riot in Bristol where a police station was vandalized, and a later protest which was cracked down upon with violence. I remember seeing a clip on Twitter of a police officer bashing a woman in the face with his riot shield.

Half Life 3 has been delayed by another three months.

EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year (www.cnn.com)

EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year::The European Union is pulling its advertisements from Elon Musk’s X for now, citing an “alarming increase” in hate speech and disinformation on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Clbull ,

Is Elon Musk finally in the ‘find out’ stage of this whole fiasco?

Clbull ,

No, actually I don’t. Everytime it cracks me the fuck up, almost like Elon Musk’s clown act.

Terms of Service (media.kbin.social)

alt text(parodical) YouTube popup: Going to pee during the ad break violates YouTube’s Terms of Service - It looks like you selfishly left the room while our ads were playing. Don’t you know that by watching youtube you entered a CONTRACT?! - We killed the competition by operating at a loss for a decade. We paid good money...

Clbull ,

There are people who called the main lemmy.ml instance a community of tankies, so I’d take a lot of these claims with a grain of salt.

Clbull ,

Ironically, MM/DD/YYYY works better for chronological sorting than DD/MM/YYYY, so long as you don’t go between years.

Didn’t think I’d be saying this but the Americans have an edge over us Brits.

Clbull ,

What I said, MM/DD/YYYY is less flawed than DD/MM/YYYY for chronological sorting.

Asian YYYYMMDD way is the best way for computing…, but the American way at least preserves the month and day structure.

Clbull ,

A sequel to Team America: World Police where Vladimir Putin is the main villain.

Clbull ,

Is this more of a ‘fuck Jared Leto’ thread?

Clbull ,

I’d prefer it if Lemmy didn’t go mainstream. Reddit went down the toilet once it did.

Clbull ,

Adobe to the EC: “Figma balls!”

Clbull ,

So they paid Kenyan workers $2 an hour to sift through some of the darkest shit on the internet.

Ugh.

Clbull ,

Isn’t CSAM classed as images and videos which depict child sexual abuse? Last time I checked written descriptions alone did not count, unless they were being forced to look at AI generated image prompts of such acts?

Clbull ,

OpenAI shot themselves in the legs with a 12-gauge shotgun when they fired Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.

Expect Microsoft Copilot to eclipse ChatGPT.

Clbull ,

With SteamOS and ChromeOS now having millions of users, Linux attacks will become more commonplace.

IIRC ChromeOS is either built on or can be configured to run applications like a Linux distro?

Clbull ,

This looks like Zero Punctuation but with a slight rebranding so as to barely make it visually distinct from their work with The Escapist.

I’ve noticed that Yahtzee was swearing a lot more and that there was no longer ‘fully uncensored content on the Patreon.’ I’m guessing the Escapist were the ones who forced this change on ZP because the big corporate suits saw demonetization as an income loss.

Clbull ,

2 and 3 without question.

You’d make ludicrous money from the construction industry with an unlimited supply of gravel, while being able to teleport 7 inches would be useful for break-ins.

Clbull ,

Another thing to consider, if you miss your mark, do you blink as close as possible to the object you’re trying to go through or does it impale/telefrag you?

Clbull ,

Well option 3 suddenly sucks a lot more.

Maybe it’ll be a neat party trick.

Clbull ,

He looks like Senator Armstrong from the Metal Gear Rising series…

Clbull OP ,

Firstly, these screenshots are from The Elite’s and RWhiteGoose’s own Discord servers. He was part of the site’s council that effectively moderated Goldeneye speedrun records and set precedent for new rules, hence why they didn’t do anything until this all came out.

Secondly, Karl barely took part in discussions on these servers. Of the 150 screenshots, he appears in a grand total of one where he debates the taboo surrounding white people saying the n-word with Goose. He even addressed the interactions he had with Goose and all the allegations made against him by Tomatoanus and others in a video.

Clbull ,

Where I live… try 70% of your paycheck on rent. Heck, a lot of agencies and landlords won’t rent to someone like me unless I was earning £10k more.
