That’s amazing! I’ve got the same combination on my luggage!

The article doesn’t mention his party, but yes, he was a republican.

Control 2 will not be an epic exclusive. AW2 was published by Epic, hence the exclusivity. Control 2 (and all future remedy games, I believe) will be self published by Remedy. FBC: Firebreak, their next game, and set in the Oldest House from Control, already has a Steam page and will release there day 1.

Ok? I never said she committed no crime. In fact, I specifically did say it was a trafficking case. And she served 2 1/2 years in prison for it, thereby paying her debt to society. So what’s your point?

I didn’t say you were a right wing nutjob, I said that making such ridiculous leaps in logic make you sound like one. I agree, this is Lemmy, so the chances of you actually being full right wing are pretty slim. Though seeing the term “Marijuana-related charges” and being like, well, it could be simple possession, or they could’ve beaten someone half to death for smoking their weed is the type of leap that nutjobs make.

I am simply making a point that we don’t know what the “marijuana-related charge” is.

If you really wanted to know more about the charges, you could’ve googled for 2 seconds and found the same article I did. Instead you just put out into the world that, well, maybe she beat someone half to death. Again, that’s battery.

I am simply making a point that we don’t know what the “marijuana-related charge” is.

Is basically the same line of thinking conspiracy theorists use when they say something ridiculous and then say they’re “just asking questions.” Especially if you’re using that line as a defense against pushback when you suggest that those marijuana related charges may have involved violence.

I’m not saying all this to attack you. I’m saying it so that next time you come across an article that you feel lacks some critical information, maybe you’ll look into it further rather than just suggest that the person said article is about is actually some sort of monster.

That story has a bit more info about the marijuana related charges. Not a ton, but it does have:

"A longtime Milwaukee resident, Yang worked as a nail technician and a receptionist at nail salons before the COVID-19 pandemic. She was earning a living for her children, who range in age from 6 to 22. Her partner, Bub, is disabled: he has had two brain surgeries, is partially paralyzed and suffers from memory loss.

During the pandemic, the family moved into a house that prosecutors say was part of a marijuana trafficking operation.

Yang was among 26 people indicted in a sweeping federal case in 2020. It alleged Yang helped count and package cash that was mailed to marijuana suppliers in California. Prosecutors found bags of cash taped between pages of magazines, according to a complaint."

So it was a trafficking case. Weed was being shipped from Cali, where it’s legal, to Wisconsin, where it’s not, and they were mailing back cash to pay for the weed. To me it just sounds like she was trying to take care of her family and disabled partner during a difficult time.

Also, “Marijuana-related charges” is never going to mean “beating someone half dead because they smoked your weed.” That’s just battery. Even guessing that that is code for some violent crime makes you sound like a right wing nutjob making huge mental leaps to justify how horribly this woman was treated by the govt as a good thing.

Aldi did the same thing this boycott of Target is about. So no, not Aldi first.

you’re supposed the pronounce it “Tar-jay”

Lmao, no you’re not, that’s just something people started doing to literally make fun of the “Walmart but fancy” image they cultivated for themselves.

I’d argue more a sports game disguised as a visual novel, but either way, that was a good game.

For slight further clarification on part 2, when checking for the GPU in device manager, it will be listed under “Display adapters”.

The literal rest of my life will be spent trying to fuck over America and Americans.

As an American, I’d just like to say we absolutely deserve this.

Nor do I think he’s a horrible person for edgy comments and actions that most of us have definitely done one way or another on the Internet.

Now, I pay no attention at all to pewdiepie, and this is the first I’ve heard about this paying people to hold up an anti-semitic sign as a “joke”, or whatever, but from my limited knowledge, this sort of behavior is absolutely the hallmark of a horrible person. There is a world of difference between the average “edgy” comment and paying people to hold up a sign that says “death to all jews”.

The difference between 1 billion and 1 million dollars is just about 1 billion dollars.

And maybe you could find a house for 70k in your area, but that is not common at all. The AVERAGE home price in my area is 525-550,000.

Having a single million dollars just does not mean you’re rich these days.

“Reddit continues to be anti-free speech,” Cedric Hohnstadt said on X.

I would agree with that, but I’d also be surprised if Prey was a financial gem for the executives.

One of the best ways to drain people’s energy nowadays, is via video game design.

I like to open my games with a long segment of walking while your character is injured, so they really just kind of slog along at a slow pace. Having them be injured at the start is good, because they can really get used to pressing a single button to move forward without having to worry about any other buttons. Since they’re stuck going slow this is also a good time to have a narrator or other npc explain convoluted lore of the world that you won’t really care about, but it’ll be mildly important if you put in over 100 hours into the game, so we can include that unskippable dialogue here.

Then after 8 or 9 minutes of injured walking, we’ll have a 3 minute unskippable cutscene in which our character gets healed, but then also gets thrown into their first combat. And me, I like a challenge, so the first enemy is a boss fight, but since the player probably doesn’t know the buttons yet, it should probably take most players at least 3 tries. The fun part is, you can’t save until after beating that first boss, so if you fail, you have to go through the 9 minute slow walking segment and 3 minute unskippable cutscene again.

At this point a lot of gamers go onto the internet to complain about stuff like this, and I just respond that all that stuff is unskippable to protect the narrative vision of our game. Even though really most of the story is just lifted from “A Good Day to Die Hard.”

It’s not as powerful a drain as you can get in person, but you can get little bits from a lot of angry nerds on the internet at once.

If you don’t wanna click the x link, here’s what it says in full:

This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

It seems that @elonmusk

made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new

beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

“Within the next two years, it will be completely normalized to have a relationship with an A.I.,” Ms. Cole predicted.

We haven’t managed to really normalize anything outside of cis-hetero relationships yet and you’re telling me we’re gonna normalize relationships with a.i. in two years? Sure.

And Qannon was certainly amenable to Trump’s request to push back basically every date involved in the case.

Coming up on 2 years with nothing memorable.

This implies Baldur’s Gate 3 (8/3/23) was not memorable, and I take issue with that.
