I really dont understand how anyone can look at the modern era of politics without a consideration for game theory, it is so useful for resolving these more nebulous or philosophical idea when it comes to thought conflicts. If your 'opponent' is constantly escalating and you arent responding, you are functionally forfeiting. and we all know the fascists are escalating as often and as hard as they can. if you seek peace or de-escalation you have to negotiate, and they wont do that. if you seek neutral ground you have to respond with equal escalation. and if you want to win you have to apply overwhelming force.
most conflicts in politics are not zero sum like this so its not a useful tool most of the time, but fascists are literally out for the destruction of democracy by definition, its existential by nature.
It's one of the most unique action game experiences you can find. And it's a decade old. It just doesn't have competition. It has issues certainly, but that didn't stop me from putting 250+ hours in it.
i dont know that i agree with your second point, the gunplay looks so much less unpleasant from the trailer they just showed off. payday 2 feels almost like a roblox or browser fps, and 3 looks like a more proper modern game in terms of animation and speed. its a really important aspect of any shooter, hell its 99% of the reason Destiny players stick with that game, similar with call of duty. god knows it isnt the actual game design.
I follow a lot of legal content and work in a legal field, but I am not a lawyer and this is just an opinion from the outside:
Trump has 2 wildcard advantages that make the outcome hard to predict.
1: this is being presided over by a judge who has shown incredible favorable bias towards him. Even with the circuit laser eyed on the case breathing down her neck to make sure she plays fair ball, there are simply a ton of areas where she can fuck the prosecution over and the circuit can't do shit. This is the structural nature of federal court. The only thing holding this back from happening is that it would cause such a massive national shit show her life might legitimately be in danger if she did this. (I don't not advocate violence In any way. But that kind of backlash would not surprise me or feel karmically unjust)
2: it only takes 1 juror. 1 trump fanatic to lie smoothly through jury selection, and then sink all charges by folding their arms. Now this feels unlikely just because the venn diagram overlap between "can make plans, lie smoothly, and stick to their guns through social pressure" and "Miami trump supporter" is very narrow. But it can still happen.
Other than this? Well intent, with someone like trump, who lies constantly for no reason about everything and doesn't talk to or listen to his lawyers, is actually a pain in the ass to prove. That being said, the evidenciary outline the case opened with indicates that they have genuinely strong evidence to prove intent, so I think he's sunk on this, especially when you consider he couldn't really get new lawyers in time for the trial start.
It's incredibly important to mention whenever discussing this: if he were literally any other person on earth he wouldn't be treated so nicely: skipped mugshot, no bail, speedy trial, etc. And he would absolutely go away for 20 to life. I say this as a professional, not a partisan.
It's fine and worth visiting, unless there are topics related to economics or business and then you can REALLY tell the site is filled with silicon valley bros
I would legit use a mod that changes the master sword slightly: no longer breaks, but the weapon power you get from fusing is significantly lowered, so it's never going to be the highest DPS option. I know this doesn't feel great diageticaly but I like it a lot more than "your sword is tired, put it away for a few minutes"
I'm on jerboa, and like others are saying "active" is pretty ass and 'hot' is okay. My main actual complaint is the inability to sort comments! Please God, I'm tired of seeing the rare hateful message with 1/2 up votes on top, and then a more normal good comment with 50 up votes beneath it. Going to be a real problem for onboarding people and optics.
Being able to sort the communities in lemmy on the all communities tab would be really fucking helpful, because I'm pretty sure I've subbed to like 50 dead communities
I 100% agree with you on all 3 fronts. Especially 3. If they chose the model S to be their more open and experimental option that would be incredible for the more hacky parts of the tech community, just like the steam deck has been
Soooo excited for the capcom conference Monday, and boy let me tell you I never thought I would say that. Capcom is on an unreal streak after a lot of stinky butt releases. It's 530 est if anyone was curious

the viewpoint "these immigrants need to be gunned down and trans people need to be eradicated" are not things i "dont agree with entirely" they are a vile evil toxin that cannot be tolerated.
yeah obviously, idk who is pretending otherwise?

it makes sense that only the people who are meh or okay about the situation are left lol

Truly attempting to create the worst of both worlds. Happy I dont live there, even if im not living in a tremendous place lol

a Florida Man poser, truly the lowest of the low

Frog suit is such an ass pain to get though, you've basically finished the game by the time you get it, unless you literally just focus it down early

They did the math and realized that if every jurisdiction gerrymandered as hard as possible, republicans would be hurt a lot more than democrats
I actually have a mild excitement for it, I have enjoyed the creators past work
I get all of my pet stuff from Chewy, they have this post in two colors. It's very nice I can honestly recommend it.

I did pay $41 for it early 2022, sad to see it's price jump.

Image here, initially made the post with HEIF version and I guess lemmy doesn't support?
Wouldn't this still be pretty massive at large scales like datacenters?
