Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.

I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

Like statistically the cops actually help in any of those situations.

And like the police aren’t the biggest thieves out there.

It’s from two days ago, dude.

Facebook is serving up articles from 2018 like they’re brand new.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

The date on the article is “August 26, 2023 7:01 AM ET”. That’s not two months. That’s why I’m grumpy.

We have very different ideas of “old news,” and feel free to block me if you don’t like what I post instead of complaining on two different posts.

I’m so tired of tech bro billionaires who think they’re the only ones who can “fix” things.

This is him getting loudly and publicly booed, which I personally consider good.

Nope, the rebrand was just for Elon’s ego.

Y’know, I’ve never understood claiming “who cares” when someone must care enough to comment. When I truly don’t care about something, I just scroll past it and ignore it. If you’re truly “moving on,” why not just, well, move on?

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Then curate your feed better? The only one responsible for what you see is you.

And scrolling by is a lot faster than opening a post to reply to it.

It certainly gave me a moment of pause, and I had to look up who they were.

Thing is, Elon styles himself a gamer, so this one might sting a bit.

Then he’ll go roll around in his money and do some ketamine, so hey.

I invite you to read Ronan Farrow’s recent piece on him and tell me he’s talked about more than he deserves. We need to be talking more about the shit he’s doing, because he’s got a lot more power than folks realize.

…I think you missed a word there, because I’m not quite following your first sentence.

@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

“Sick” wasn’t there when I read it, and it made it less than understandable.

And sadly, Elon Musk has more power than a lot of people are aware of and a lot more folks really do need to care about what he does.

To this day, I really wish BioWare had iterated on their mechanics in Mass Effect instead of trying to make it more of a shooter in RPG clothing. I liked how certain classes could only wear certain armor or use certain weapon types, and how you had more choice in how your Shepard was built.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

I’ve had people on here yell “spoilers!” over a thing you literally find out in a character background video in the character creator before the game starts. It’s wild.

I stand by my feeling that if someone is that sensitive about what they think is a “spoiler,” then they’ve really got to not click on anything related to the game, especially comment sections, where people talk about playing the game. It’s on them at that point, because most folks don’t define “spoilers” that broadly.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,

I just started Act 3, and yeah, there are some bugs with the dialogue, like Gale chewing me out for making a decision in a quest I hadn’t even started yet (I was very confused when he started chewing out my character for making a deal with a devil, a deal I had not even gotten offered because I hadn’t started that quest line, and I was like, “Wait, what?”) With luck, the next patch will fix stuff like this.

For some reason, my game really likes bugging out with Gale dialogue, like Gale acting like we were in a relationship when I had just turned him down flat. He now is benched and doesn’t get to come out anymore.

It’s completely acceptable to not want to hear about major plot points when a game has only been out a month or so, but folks getting mad about stuff that was in promo materials and you can learn before you even start the game proper have really got to recalibrate.

I want to play FF16 but can’t until it comes out on PC, in a good year or two. So am I on game forums or posts about FF16? Nope. I even avoid twitter threads (or did when I was still used twitter), after clicking on one and finding out about a character death randomly, that everyone there knew about because they were playing the game and assumed everyone reading it was, too.

If you’re going to a place where people are talking about a game, you had best be prepared to be spoiled. If you’re not, stay off them until you’ve played the game. You can’t police people talking about minor or funny events in a game they figure other people know about, just because you haven’t played it yet.

PlayStation Portal Doesn’t Have Bluetooth (gamingbolt.com)

Sony has officially unveiled the PlayStation Portal, and as a cloud-exclusive Remote Play handheld device, it’s obviously got a few caveats attached. The fact that it can’t play native games – or any native media – is, of course, one of them, while it’s also been confirmed that even the cloud library of PlayStation...

They’ve intentionally left out everything that could expand the potential user base for this. It’s like Sony wants it to be as niche as possible.

We have no idea if that’s actually what happened. That’s what the police said happen, and they lie.

They also said nothing about her driving at them at first - first they said she was resisting arrest. They’ve already changed their story once.

Fox News apologizes to Gold Star family after facing backlash over false story | CNN Business (www.cnn.com)

Fox News apologized Saturday to a Gold Star family for publishing a false story last month claiming that the family had to pay $60,000 to ship the remains of their fallen relative back from Afghanistan because the Pentagon refused to pay.

I just came back to Baldur’s Gate 3 after doing all the new stuff in Genshin. The break was good, because now that giant patch for BG3 is out, and it apparently fixes problems running Act 3, which I got to last night.

I managed to get turned into a cheese wheel by an angry djinn, so everything’s going great in Act 3 so far!

It absolutely did NOT seem easy at the time. People were lynched and churches were bombed. The same way people talk about BLM “rioting” today, they talked about King at the time. In 1968, King had an UNfavorability rate of nearly 75%.

Whitewashing and romanticizing history does not help.

Right, but the cases you’re used to are very different than a small, start up tech company making computer parts.

It really is a ship of Theseus question at this point, huh.

Arcane was really good, though? Even if you don’t think it deserves the top spot, you still have to give it that.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

It takes the first few episodes to really set everything up on the board so it can then start moving the pieces, to be fair.

The last few episodes are just massive gut punches it took all that set up to give impact to.

But to each their own. Not everything is for everyone.
