Wonderful to see our country is continuing our tradition of nonsensical psy-ops designed to exploit a tragedy and inflict as much harm as possible. I’m glad there’s no consequences for a nation abusing their power in such an egregious manner.

Trying to remember an old Spider-Man game I played as a child... anyone can recognize it?

Hey folks, I’ve lurked on this community for a while now but haven’t really posted anything until today. Sorry if this isn’t really the right place to ask questions like this, but since this is a place for old games, I felt it’d be the most appropriate one…...

God I remember the hell out of Spiderman 2. I only had it on like a demo disk, so the game ended shortly after your battle against Rhino, so I just spent ages swinging around the city.

This almost feels like bait, your instance is Lemmy.ml. The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, your home instance is literally the home for far-left ideology. You’ll still see a leftist bant for the reasons commenters have mentioned, but the single biggest reason is that your instance is owned and operated by them.

djsoren19 ,

They have been. The problem is twofold; Airbuses are limited in the U.S., and airlines have increased the rates on those tickets because I guess a working airplane is now considered a premium.

djsoren19 ,

What? it looks fine to me, outside of the general difficulty of reading regex. I mean, it’s not meant to be readable, it’s meant to catch all the different spellings if what they want to filter and do so.

djsoren19 ,

This is one of those truly great moments where you can hate all sides of this. They’re all kinda shitty skeezy assholes, so whoever loses is a net win for humanity.

I dunno, I’m someone who was fine with the changes to combat introduced in Doom Eternal, but was honestly really turned off by how much id was kinda huffing their own farts with the story. The first game had Doomguy punch any attempts at exposition. The second turned Hayden into an Angel, the AI friend into God, the demons are extraplanar aliens that are being used for energy by the angels, and now the Doom Slayer is some destined force of cosmic balance. The little bits were of larger lore were kinda funny in the first game, it became flanderized in the second, and now for a prequel I’m worried id’s managed to fit their entire head up their own ass trying to convince everyone how cool their space marine is.

It’s the most boring part about centrists. They’re staying to freak out now, whereas leftists have seen the writing on the wall for decades, and are now desensitized. There’s a serious argument that we’ve already missed our chance to course correct for humanity’s survival, but I guess back then it was all just “panicked hysterics” over the growing power of the M.I.C. and rise of right-wing religious fascists.

djsoren19 ,

Yeah, but that wouldn’t actually solve any issues here. It would make Alito a martyr and kick off the American Civil War the conservatives keep jerking themselves off over.

djsoren19 ,

Their attacks aren’t all shitty. Far-right stochastic terrorism has killed people, lots of people really. They’ve declared war and started killing people, that anyone still treats them with kid gloves is mind-boggling.

djsoren19 ,

Sure, if you ignore all the progressives who hate Biden and protest his handling of Palestine constantly, you can pretend that both sides are lockstep behind dear leader.

Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit (www.theregister.com)

HR software biz BambooHR surveyed more than 1,500 employees, a third of whom work in HR. The findings suggest the return to office movement has been a poorly-executed failure, but one particular figure stands out - a quarter of executives and a fifth of HR professionals hoped RTO mandates would result in staff leaving....

djsoren19 ,

Yeah but they still haven’t found a way to assign a monetary value to consumer trust, so it doesn’t show up on the spreadsheets that are used to make decisuons. Only thing that matters is line go up, shareholders can always find a different company to squeeze later.

djsoren19 ,

It blows my mind that we’re still getting uninspired shitty adaptations after Fallout, The Last of Us, honestly even stuff like Sonic and Mario showed suits that people will praise any adaptation as long as it shows them what they know.

djsoren19 ,

The first Tales was well received, but it was made by Telltale and much closer to the Borderlands 2 era. Gearbox made another one recently that was terrible and panned.

I think you’re right in saying the franchise is just dead. As someone who played actually thousands of hours of BL2 in my youth, I have zero interest in the rumored Borderlands 4. I think I own all the DLC for 3 and just never bothered to play through all of it.

djsoren19 ,

This is the game series that seriously gave a quest where you tried to rename one of the enemies to Bonerfarts, and this movie is failing to even hit that level of unfunny.

I guess it’s PG, so maybe it’ll hit Gearbox’s new target audience; 10 year old boys.

djsoren19 ,

I’m interested to see what changes they’ll be making from 6 to 7. 6 was kinda panned on release, and games like Humankind and Age of Wonders 4 have introduced serious competition to the 4x genre in the years since.

djsoren19 ,

I guess it’s nice to have confirmation, but I’m not an ounce surprised that the story of Suicide Squad is “big publisher pushed developer to make live-service trash.” I’d be hopeful that the Rocksteady single-player title could come back, but Zaslav has committed to making more live-service flops. Absolutely wild that they couldn’t learn their lesson from Hogwarts Legacy, you don’t even have to make a single-player openworldathon that good and people will still praise it if you have a popular enough IP.

djsoren19 ,

People love “Are We The Baddies” and “Vectron” and even the sneaky “Do You Do Poison,” but this is my vote for the best Mitchell and Webb sketch. Just hilarious.

djsoren19 ,

It’s an annual march. They’ve never been looking to de-escalate, the point has always been to terrorize.

djsoren19 ,

Honestly, I love making friends with people who haven’t experienced some of the really incredible pieces of pop culture, because I get to see them react to seeing something incredible for the first time. Your reaction should never be "omg you’ve never seen this before, what kinda weird alien are you? and more “omg you’ve never seen this before? okay we have to watch it real soon, it’s incredible.”

It’s only really annoying if the person is some kinda incel who has made it a point of pride to be uncultured and refuses to watch or appreciate good movies/TV.

djsoren19 ,

Yeah, it varys from pretty fucked up to unreasonably fucked up depending on the state. Some states, you’re not able to vote while serving your term. In other states, you lose your right to vote for life.

djsoren19 ,

no no, I think these are the right kinda fantasies.

djsoren19 ,

Yeah it’s because Americans are fucking terrible at governing.

The vast, vast majority of Americans do not care about their elected officials. Most do not even know who they are, and just vote based on party affiliation or don’t vote at all. Our government structure also fundamentally doesn’t work, and we would be far better served adopting a parliamentary system like the rest of the developed world, but nobody cares enough to do anything. Our courts are corrupt thanks to Donald Trump, gerrymandering means our elections are hardly fair, the list goes on.

America has an apathetic government that accomplishes very little and is easily captured by hostile forces because it is exactly the level of government Americans are willing to put in the effort for.

djsoren19 ,

When I saw this headline, I thought they meant extraordinary as in “Oh cool, freak weather event almost killed me” or “fun, bank fucked me over for no reason, now I don’t get to eat today.”

I think I believe my version a lot more. The bar set by this article is lying somewhere in Mariana Trench.

djsoren19 ,

What happens to the jury now? I almost wonder if they need something equivalent to witness protection, or at a bare minimum some protection from the state of New York. MAGA is a terrorist organization that preaches swift, bloody retribution against dissidents. I don’t know if basic juror anonymity will be enough to protect all of them.

djsoren19 ,

Names are always kept confidential, but there is identifying information out there like their professions and general areas they live. MAGA was also able to figure out jury identities earlier in the case, and it’s certain they will at least be trying. If it was me on that jury, I’d prefer a preventative measure.

djsoren19 ,

Swatting isn’t infantile with our police force, it’s a good way to induce death by cop.

djsoren19 ,

Today is a very good day.

Now on the downside, convicted felons are still legally allowed to run for office. Not being able to vote for himself is delicious schadenfreude, but this doesn’t suddenly save democracy. However, I would expect Biden’s administration will push this hard, and I don’t think undecided voters want a felon in the White House.

djsoren19 ,

Also…he took two bullets, if his God wanted him dead he had the opportunity.

It’s like the question of why wear a bulletproof vest if you’re immortal, it’s not like divine protection stops bullets from hurting.

djsoren19 ,

Something something “God helps those who help themselves.” Don’t think too hard about the cognitive dissonance, they sure aren’t going to.

djsoren19 ,

The Sims 2 Castaway is basically the proto survival crafting game. It’s kinda cool to see the classic Sim stats get used in such a different way. I sometimes wish EA would return to those days of selling spinoff Sim games like Castaway and the Urbz, rather than just dumping every single new idea they get into one game as DLC.

djsoren19 ,

All science fiction adjacent shows are legally required to do at least one Inner Space during their run, that episode was just business.

djsoren19 ,

So why was it socially unacceptable this time, but not when students were protesting South African Apartheid? Or Climate change? Or any number of the other divestments that have been successful without us even ever hearing about it?

djsoren19 ,

I cannot believe it required Taylor Swift fans getting screwed over for this to finally be looked at, but it’s about goddamn time!

djsoren19 ,

This kinda shit is exactly why I love Icefrog. They’re never content with the game being balanced, once they get almost every hero to around 50% winrate they love to add a new piece to the Jenga tower of mechanics.

This patch is such an elegant solution to a bunch of very minor hero issues, while also providing a ton of shiny new toys.

djsoren19 ,

Yeah but we’ve gone so far beyond societal failure that these events are now normalized. Sure it’s a dead kid, one of hundreds this year alone. This one was at least killed by their own hand, as opposed to another kid. Since our society refuses to do anything about gun control or safety, we’ll see hundreds more shot kids before the end of this year.

You can either joke about it or collapse under the sheer horror of it all.

djsoren19 ,

They certainly could try, but who do you think actually enforces NATO?

djsoren19 ,

Yeah, I hate this American-centric idea of “Oh, only my country is experiencing this totally unique problem, I’ll just go somewhere else.”

As if late-stage global capitalism would somehow be a problem that is unique to a single country.

djsoren19 ,

…like in a gallon jug?

djsoren19 ,

Then why the fuck did they send so many troops to Libya?!

I guess I shouldn’t complain too hard, you never want to correct an enemy when they’re making a mistake.

djsoren19 ,

“Hundreds of targets have already been attacked,” Yoav Gallant, Israel’s defense minister, said after meeting with commanders in the Rafah area. “This operation will continue.”

“Yeah, hundreds have already been attacked. What’s a few hundred more,” the justifications of a fucking psychopath.

djsoren19 ,

Nah he’s great. He should take the rest of those brain worms, I think the worms should be in charge!

djsoren19 ,

I mean, Solomon left recently, who I kinda consider the reason those XCOM remakes were so good. Not sure if I’d really be that excited by a third entry.

US military says Gaza Strip pier project is completed, aid to soon flow as Israel-Hamas war rages on (apnews.com)

The U.S. military finished installing a floating pier for the Gaza Strip on Thursday, with officials poised to begin ferrying badly needed humanitarian aid into the enclave besieged over seven months of intense fighting in the Israel-Hamas war....

djsoren19 ,

Oh no, now the U.S. is Hamas too!

djsoren19 ,

Your enemy has already dehumanized you. They are fascists. You’re offering them far more sympathy and compassion than they would ever give you, and they would gladly use your sympathy against you given any opportunity.

djsoren19 ,

It’s because there’s fewer women crazies in power on the right. The ones that have been elected say this kinda hateful rhetoric anytime trans people are brought up to, but most of them aren’t elected because Republicans hate women too.

djsoren19 ,

They don’t care. Their goal is for trans people to be too afraid to go to any restroom, or for them to face consequences if they dare go to any restroom.

djsoren19 ,

I’ve got real bad news about how the rest of the world feels about those things then.

As sad as it is, America is one of the most progressive and diverse nations in the world.
