thedirtyknapkin , to nostupidquestions in Why do people want games that are just stories without any gameplay, these days? Why not just watch a movie for that?

i think they might mean more something along the lines of telltale games. and there’s definitely been more than one mediocre story driven adventure with bad gameplay, we just don’t remember them as easily. also, a lot of people really don’t get the appeal of role playing. so games like baldur’s gate might come off as “old ass gameplay on top of a long winded boring story” to the someone who also doesn’t like of turn based combat. I could even see a somewhat valid complaint if they were mad about QuickTime events seeming to be more common than ever. I thought those would be a relic of the past 10 years ago… looking at you spider man! every super hero game really. why are these still a thing? who likes them?

thedirtyknapkin , to news in This Louisiana Town Runs Largely on Traffic Fines. If You Fight Your Ticket, the Mayor Is Your Judge.

yes! like, I’ve worked in local news, some of it is still ok. I think all tv news is too surface level to be that meaningful, but some local channels still try to actually investigate local things that matter.

but like you said, bigger cities have nothing like that. neither do small enough communities. and many local news companies have been gutted or taken as puppets by Sinclair or fts or whoever. I was working at a local fox affiliate in 2018. they weren’t bad when i started because they were owned by hearst. Hearst is a broadcast distributor that affects minimal control over the content its stations produce. they recognize the value is preserving the teams and practices of the stations they buy. in 2019 that were bought by Fox directly. after that we were required to run every second of trump talking and kept having national anti abortion stories pushed on us. we had almost no time available for local content and even the stuff that did get scheduled would get bumped by trump being late for a press conference. he was over an hour late on average and we had to sit there and wait for him through every second of it.

the most, worst, and most blatant corruption is usually in local government. it’s just so much harder to get people to notice or care until it’s like Flint Michigan water levels of bad.

thedirtyknapkin , to youshouldknow in YSK: Pro Publica has a tool that lets you request documentation of why your health insurer denied your claim

is there data to support wait times being faster? because thinking that wait times could be any worse than that already are in the u.s. seems ridiculous. it’s not fast here.

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in Calculus? Nah, bro, that's easy stuff

hmm, this is more like realizing your preferred language doesn’t have a word for a thing and deciding you want one.

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in Now I have to turn off notifications in my niche video game server...

i just had one that showed up and started asking to to a “sound of freedom” watch party after playing one game…

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in Artists lose first copyright battle in the fight against AI-generated images

yeah Disney is famous for lobbying to protect their Mickey mouse copyright.

thedirtyknapkin , to worldnews in Dutch self-image challenged as country confronts its colonial past

i mean, that’s the audience that needs to hear this message the most…

thedirtyknapkin , to pcgaming in Skull Island: Rise of Kong is ugly and full of bugs. 3/10 - IGN

what does he care about, because the gameplay isn’t there either on this one.

thedirtyknapkin , to internetfuneral in Blarghhh

also, they’d definitely bend over to puke if that’s something their bodies were even capable of.

thedirtyknapkin , to lemmyshitpost in Pretty fly for a Venn diagram

i might have preferred a ballistic knife if we’re being weird anyway.

thedirtyknapkin , to lemmyshitpost in Equally as good

eh, you were born just in time to be a YouTube star. you just missed your boat.

thedirtyknapkin , (edited ) to retrogaming in If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?

I know this is almost a stereotypical answer, but the Witcher 3. because after that game i went and read through all the books. so if i got to re experience it would be the difference of finding siri after 100 hours of gameplay and finding siri after 5000 hours of story. "find siri’ is Geralt’s primary motivation throughout the books. i can only imagine how satisfying and emotional that scene would feel for the first time with the weight of the books behind it.

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in When did paid podcasts become a thing?

at least in America most people generally seem to look down on spending any time on anything that doesn’t make money. even if you don’t actually need any more money. the only worthwhile thing in much of society’s eyes is climbing that ladder.

thedirtyknapkin , to risa in It is funny because he does not have legs

Oh ikr? that’s been killing me the entire run of snw.
