Definitely upload it.

In Diablo 3, I always saved the NPCs in Act 2 while doing bounties, even though there was no incentive to do so. Dunno if it counts as feeling good, but could never bring myself to ignore their cries.

After 9/11, USA went into a bloodlust, invading Afghanistan because they (Taliban) wanted proof that Osama bin Laden was involved with the terrorist attack first. bin Laden fled to Pakistan, but the USA didn’t invade them, nor threatened to. Instead, USA just kept their boots on foreign soil because, hey, free real state and cheap poppy, amirite?

Just to add to your point.

From way before 9-11

Before the Invasion

After the invasion.

Afghanistan was fairly cut and dry. The Taliban refused to turn over bin Laden and the US invaded.

That’s incredibly false

This has been known for quite some time. Propaganda really is a hell of a drug.

They’re mostly a bunch of neo-colonists that believe in western exceptionalism and won’t spend any time learning about the country the west occupied for over 20 years, let alone the complicated dynamics of the country.

I mean legit half the comments are variants of “We need to civilize the savages”.

Reminds me of all the crocodile tears against leaving Afghanistan in the first place “Think of the women!” they cried, well what happened when the country was dealing with a famine (which of course impacted millions of Afghani women) and the US stole half of Afghani assets at a time they desperately needed it? crickets.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

Remember when the Afghan people had a phenomenally well equipped and well trained army, and then they just gave up inside a week because things were “hard”?

You didn’t read the Afghanistan Papers did you?

It’s not about specs or scope, it’s about designing a game to be actually FUN.

This is the key point that these publishers and studios are trying to avoid.

• How much of most AAA budgets are spent on designing microtransaction psychologically manipulative money sinks (dark designs)?
• How much of most AAA budgets are spent on creating addiction in the player-base so that they keep playing the game (and spending money)?
• How much of most AAA budgets are spent on bullshit DLC (not actual new content)?
• How much of most AAA budgets are spent on bullshit to satisfy shareholders?
• How much of most AAA budgets are spent on shit the devs don’t want, but executives do?
• How much of most AAA budgets are spent on bullshit padding for marketing purposes?
• How much of most AAA budgets are spent on bullshit DRM?

And keep in mind, by budgets here, I mean both the dollar amount AND time spent by devs that could be spent elsewhere (which is part of the dollar amount since salaries, but I wanted to make it clear that time spent is also important).

Some of the absolute best games in the industry have literally none of that, and people still want to play and buy them years after release because gasp they’re actually fun, but these publishers and devs don’t want to compare to those, because they WANT the industry to be a bunch of “GAAS” bullshit that’s basically a vacuum pushed into people’s wallets, cause hey, if it worked for Candy Crush…

Best thing i could find on it. doesn’t seem like it’s actually a controversy

A single console is one of those things that sounds great on paper, but considering how scummy the industry has been lately, would be used in the most anti-consumer way possible.

A single console on the market = Monopoly. Those are never good for consumers.

My guess is that at least one of them is going to require a download code which sucks.

That site didn’t give much info.

I’m guessing you only looked at the summary then.

It says they are hard working people who are underexposed to political info and don’t feel they can decide.

That’s not what it said.

Besides that making them fucking morons (sorry), that still doesn’t excuse their inaction.

There’s plenty of data there that explains their inaction. Your refusal to read it doesn’t make you right.

It all comes down to giving people a reason they can understand to take the time to vote.

Again, asking an hourly wage worker that can barely make ends meet already to travel/transit and then wait 9+ hours in line to vote is completely unrealistic and not something they should be blamed for.

But hey, like the other guy, keep calling them fucking morons, I’m sure it’ll work out great. /s

Lazy idiots like you rather come up with excuses than actually go do what you should be doing. You’re the typical “lazy American” stereotype that fascists count on to get into power. Congrats asswipe.

So I guess your voter outreach is nil then.

Keep it up, I’m sure it’ll work out great for you and the causes you champion.

“Download our app to see our menu”

walks out

People should really read the Afghanistan Papers. It makes the picture much clearer on why this epidemic is so … muted.

People like that person would rather hate and feel morally superior than spend 5 minutes understanding the reasons.

Instead of just flat out hating on them and calling them lazy, maybe do some research into why there are so many non-voters.

And yes, suppression IS a big enough reason to. Who the fuck on an hourly wage has the luxury of driving/transiting to a distant poll station and wait in line for 9+ hours to vote?

But hey, if it makes you feel better to dunk on them as “Lazy”, keep at it, that’s sure to convince them /s

but asking us to pat some dim motherfuckers on the back because they couldn’t be fucked to fight fascism themselves and wanted us to do it at the ballot box is some straight bullshit.

Not only do that, but they actively BOOST fascism. They keep using the pied piper strategy over and over again. If they’re that bad (and I’m not denying that they are), why in the world do they keep signal boosting those fucks?

Cause it makes for an easy election win cause they don’t have to promise anything, just point to the contrast. I.E. they keep risking the fate of the entire world to win elections in a way that doesn’t affect their corporate donors.

Just insane.

did nothing besides force people to pay for private insurance that covers nothing.

Which also as a result gave insurance companies even more money to use to fight against any reform to healthcare.

They use our own money against us, and it’s insane we keep letting them, but rock and hard place.

I’m still uninsured, nothing has changed for me since the ACA. Here’s the thing – I’m not interested in “incremental generational change”, because I need healthcare myself in my lifetime. And I’m especially not interested in hearing that rhetoric from politicians who get a supermajority and do nothing with it.

I’ve lost good friends to healthcare costs. Incremental change doesn’t mean shit to me anymore. They’re dead, they’re not coming back.

“These updates depend on many device-specific non-Google hardware and software providers that work with Google to provide the highest level of security and stability support,” said Peter Du, communications manager for ChromeOS. “For this reason, older Chrome devices cannot receive updates indefinitely to enable new OS and browser features.”

Bull. Shit.
