@Gaigous And it all could have been so unbelievably easy... It didn't have to come to this. Offline modes, server kits, server spoofing patches, EoL "community hand downs". There are SO many ways to solve the issue... and they chose escalation... Reap what you sow.

The 'Games as a Service' model was forced on everyone by the Games industry, whether it's Always Online or Microtransactions, not a single Gamer consented to such unethical business practices becoming the norm, we resisted for years and they used global the marketplace to abandon us. Now there are people actually saying it would be "going too far" for us to reverse that engineered outcome, screw that noise! This type of Law is good for all Gamers, and it will force the industry to reorient its business model accordingly. America has the largest consumer markets in the world, so if you think all those massive corporations will just abandon our money, you are fooling yourself, they will bend over backwards to retain access, it's time to grow some balls and demand better.

@NoSaltAllPepper @Gaigous Ruin what exactly? The already dying AAA industry? The very same industry that keeps making the same live service slop over and over and over again DESPITE no one buying it? Sorry you have been sleeping under a rock lately, champ. But this industry is getting what it deserves.

@Gaigous Nobody force others to play GAaS. Corporations followed the habits of gamers and leaned into it. Folks are short sighted. This will ruin a lot.

@timeextension64 LRG fucking things up? Say it ain't so!

@chantalshamsock @DanFriedman81 Are you for real? Are you genuinely insane? "The victim made it out OK" yes, apart from most likely being heavily traumatized and potentially having a prominent scar as a lifelong reminder of said trauma... God you're vile...

@DanFriedman81 the child is alive. she slashed him across the face. you engagement baiters always neglect to include the most important part, which is that the victim made it out okay. ketv.com/article/omaha-…

Two years ago, Naomi Guzman doused her father in lighter fluid and tried to set him on fire, then broke into a church and threatened a priest with a knife. She was found incompetent to stand trial and released. Today, she abducted a toddler and stabbed him before she was shot and killed by police.

@pr0ud_americans I still remember that one guy who joined an anti trump rally, got a megaphone and just started reading passages from "Mein Kampf" and people cheered and applauded him for his "powerful anticapitalist speech" So yeah, he's not too far off.

Check this out, comedian Dane Frisby absolutely nails it...😂

@shethinkslibrty @pr0ud_americans A little too close to home, eh?

@pr0ud_americans Anyone who still uses Hitler and the official story about him and WWII as fodder for anything? That tells me they're as ignorant as a box of rocks. Oh, and not funny. 𝑨𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍.

@stoneymacaroni @hubbard_en98653 @blightersort @YeaYourself Aaaand he blocked me... I wonder if the lil guy eventually finds out i'm not even American, which is why his little tirade felt a little... unhinged...

@stoneymacaroni @hubbard_en98653 @blightersort @YeaYourself I sincerely hope this wasn't meant as a gotcha...

finally got to see the video and there's a lot of interesting things going on here. first, there's an element here of the "my culture has a beautiful unique tradition of gathering for a large meal!" type discourse where people from lesser cultures grasp onto mundanity as if they were the only ones who ever did it, always silly. >"in my culture, we like to make loud noises when we are particularly excited!" oh, you mean like "hip hip hooray?" >"no, in my culture it's very different, you couldn't possibly understand. but this is just "hip hip hooray" only at an inappropriate time. second, you can even see this during the video in Sabrina's confused reaction "your culture is yodeling?" bc, yes, obviously, yodeling is a part of Swiss culture. but Swiss culture has a lot going on so they don't go around yodeling at inappropriate times and then angrily inform people that it's just fine bc "that's just Swiss culture". so in this one brief interaction we see the truth laid bare: 1) loud noises to emote excitement is not some unique part of just your culture, that's a human universal. 2) that said, how it is expressed obviously varies. in Sabrina's culture, it shouldn't be expressed during a concert as she's trying to bring the mood down to instill a particular emotional vibe. 3) but somehow, everything today is lowest common denominator. the 'culture' that is the ugliest, most anti-social in western civilization gets to win, every time, bc "diversity is strength" or something. it's dis-civilizational. this is a relatively modest example of the broader phenomenon driving everything to shit.

@ledinnerblaster @lunch_table_ @found_it_funny The last 20 years of governance made us the butt end of quite literally every joke. Sit your ass back down my friend, we ARE the definition of stupidity. Germany isn't the clown, we're the entire circus.

@lunch_table_ @found_it_funny No, actually, it can't. Because Germany is not stupidity.

@stoneymacaroni @hubbard_en98653 @blightersort @YeaYourself Ah, Canadian healthcare.

@hubbard_en98653 @blightersort @YeaYourself "Im a nazi" Go do the thing.

@YeaYourself @Newaccount39696 @blightersort "but cultures change and evolve" Precisely. And you have cultures who, in fact, didn't do that for thousands of years. Making them very much "lesser" than their contemporaries who did change and evolve towards a greater good.

@Newaccount39696 @blightersort I dont think having horrible aspect to their culture, from my perspective, qualifies the entire culture as lesser. What culture does not have this? Yes some have really disgusting aspects but cultures change and evolve. Always hoping they improve.

USA: 250 Years old My dinky home city: >1100 years old The oldest building in the city: 490 years old. I think you might want to sit your diapered ass back down for this, champ.

@mtaushb "Ist es nicht" hat mich sofort überzeugt! Ich mein, es kann es ja nicht sein, sonst würde er ja nicht sagen es sei es nicht! Argumentativ einfach unschlagbar!

Domas zieht das jetzt voll durch mit dem bösen Orbán-ÖRR, der weg muss, und dem guten BRD-ÖRR, den nur böse Antidemokraten abschaffen wollen.

@Cacophanus From how i see it (Directly based on his works): His works are often inherently political, without being specifically "local" or contemporary and vague enough in the right places to be understood by anyone.

I think the outcome is the same for both; more people can watch and enjoy anime.

We finally found it: Anti-PR "Do you have a crippling social media addiction? Are contemporary social politics the love of your life? Do you need to look up the words "Escapism" and "Fantasy" in the dictionary? Than this product is for you!"

Watching modern "fans" talk about geek stuff like any other trendy thing to wear always makes me feel like this

Japanese manga-ka, if an American 'fan' harasses you and demands you change your art for their stupid political/moral/social hard ones, you have our permission 100% to tell them to suck dick and fuck off. WE ARE TIRED OF THIS SHIT TOO.
