Anyone who uses the word liberal as something negative immediately loses my respect.

Ban happy power trippers are not very liberal by any meaning of the word. The word is being actively tainted, intentionally, especially here or Lemmy, because authoritarians take issue with it. So it’s being used as a synonym for weak, hypocritical, naive and ignorant.

Israel is not a liberal state. It is an apartheid state, a deeply authoritarian militant regime. But you don’t actually take issue with the authoritarianism. You do, however, take great issue with the gay little city of Tel Aviv being allowed to be what it is in the middle of the pointless war.

To be clear on what I think of Israel and Palestine, I think they are undeterrable and I don’t care to see more failed attempts at deterring them. They both deserve a cold shoulder from the rest of the world. If we can save out some who really want no part of it anymore, sure. But the rest can fight until they figure out which god is strongest for all I care, including the surrounding countries with a stake in it. They’re religious zealots of the worst variety, they deserve nothing when they commit to such a mindset.

If Israel falls because they became like their last oppressor and lost their allies, I would think it appropriate.

Not inaccurate, if it’s analogous to preemptively defending or disclaiming something about whatever point you’re trying to make, trying to avoid the downvotes and questioning that follow if you offend or confuse too many redditors.

He’s claiming Twitter is more or less “hardcore” and requires a certain level of mental fortitude to stick with. Instagram much less so.

I don’t know how Bloodborne compares to Dark Souls, so I don’t get what he thinks the distinction is there.

FlyingSquid needs to be booted from everything they mod.

“Mushy peas are dried marrowfat peas which are first soaked overnight in water with baking soda, and then rinsed in fresh water, after which the peas are gathered in a saucepan, covered with water, and brought to a boil, and then simmered until the peas are softened. The mush is seasoned with salt and pepper.”

So that’s not more or less how they’re made for a chippy?

Until one side wins the scale war hard enough to swarm a populated area and execute the first robotized massacre.

Or mushy peas.

Oh right, I forgot those exist.

Why don’t they count as veg?

Also, if you want to sell birroa tacos, do you have to serve with carrots now? If you sell hot dogs you also have to serve with whole decorative compliance onions?

You mean because Finland and Thailand are squished?

I’d like to see you try to block in the Japanese flag in the Polish flag.

Yes. Astrology shit.

Boomerization of millennials. It’s tough to watch.

Yeah this new stock of devs just don’t have it in them to deliver anything great. Their values and language likely prevent them from even considering something more visceral. Wouldn’t be surprised if most of them have lived such uninteresting lives they have nothing to draw from. That’s at least what they write like.

Seems they don’t know why their hero kills, they don’t believe in the culling the player enacts. They’d probably rather he didn’t.

They seem like they’d prefer to make Animal Crossing in space, they don’t really want to write about empire, conquest, terrible crimes, deep-seated hate. Ending threats.

They don’t even want to know how the tools of the trade work. Just look at the animations for the models, you can tell that whoever worked on then feared being put on an FBI watchlist if they looked up a video on how pump action shotguns work.

These kinds of dev teams are fully incapable of writing good villains and a cast of characters with wildly different moralities that are grounded in something real.

They’re not interested in combat games. They shouldn’t touch them. They should leave and make room for those who want to.

Yeah, they banned touching other cars. Double disqualification.

Welp

I agree, that looks like a fascist to me. And they’re on Midwest social, that’s all you need to know. Ban. Defederate.

Too fucked up and funny for contemporary audiences.

You can have a commune of wiccans represented respectfully in the game, with a soup making minigame, a small patch for planting and harvesting vegetables you can use, and a short quest chain featuring a little “theatre” performance event near the end, where you get to play the role of one of the fae. You even get a “play dead” button. The commune will feature interesting and iconic characters with appropriate jokes.

It’s just how some lumpy butts fold. Badly.
