I wonder

Did the Romans also declare History Was Over during the high-point of their empire?

Cuz the Americans did.... A-that when the Soviet Union crumbled and there was no one else to challenge them.

I do

Largely because the CIA still exists and who knows if they won't miss the good ol operation condor days.

Cyanide and a belief in reincarnation.

Because often the reason your turds are Like That is genetics and the only solution would be to become a different person.

Exactly at 0

Stepping back and looking at technology as inventions and the stuff they do and the ingenuity that goes into them, tech is dope. And even useless tech is fun as a toy.

But for Capitalism Reasons, whenever some new technology gets announced my first thought, by necessity, is "okay cool. How are they gonna use this to fuck us over and/or to kill people here in the global south"

Because the answer is not, has never been, and never will be "they won't". There is ALWAYS a knife under the pillow with capitalism.

The name was passed around to a dozen corporate holders that didn't bother using it until someone bought it a few years ago for a "revival"

Gotta say. Love the isometric pixel art in this trailer. Looks like something the real microprose might have put out in the 90s

Hentai, antidepressants, and lo-fi beats.

"Your willy is rubbish" sounds like an insult Caddicarus would use

maybe, but for tryhard games you’d make a tryhard character anyway

That's the thing though

I have no idea how.

Since PF2 came out I got by just fine on making unique and fun but entirely unoptimised characters. So I never bothered learning what synergises with what to make a tryhard character.

I wouldn't know

I make all my choices based on sheer Rule of Cool-ness -- I start with a vibe and build for that.

BUT. None of my GMs are tryhards, so maybe if I brought my characters to a tryhard session they'd get wiped.

 

Like I'm not one of THOSE. I know higher = better with framerates.

BUT. I'm also old. And depending on when you ask me, I'll name The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as my favourite game of all time.

The original release of that game ran at a glorious twenty frames per second. No, not thirty. No, not even twenty-four like cinema. Twenty. And sometimes it'd choke on those too!

.... And yet. It never felt bad to play. Sure, it's better at 30FPS on the 3DS remake. Or at 60FPS in the fanmade recomp port. But the 20FPS original is still absolutely playable.

Yet like.

I was playing Fallout 4, right? And when I got to Boston it started lagging in places, because, well, it's Fallout 4. It always lags in places. The lag felt awful, like it really messed with the gamefeel. But checking the FPS counter it was at... 45.

And I'm like -- Why does THIS game, at forty-five frames a second, FEEL so much more stuttery and choked up than ye olde video games felt at twenty?

This meme¹ made the rounds here on Lemmy some days back.

And NSFW artists in the Furry fandom will often talk about how payment processors give them guff.

It holds true in lived memory, but like...

... Why?

I actually understand it for Google Ads and the like -- Google, Metabook, Bytedance et al. are really just advertisement companies with a side-gig in providing online services, and if you're an advertisement company, then "how other corporations perceive you" is what you live and die by, which forces the whole "corporate sanitisation" thing down on the users. -- So like. It does make sense, even if it's hateable.

But for the likes of Visa, and Master Card, and whatnot -- It doesn't? As I understand it their whole thing is they transfer money between parties and take a cut of the transactions. (and also give credit and charge interests on that and such) -- Why the fuck would they care what those transactions are about, so long as people are... Transacting, and thus giving them their cut?

I know this isn't quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can't think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A -- Non-youtube-y place.

Bonus points if it plays nicely with Lemmy, opening on apps and such.
