Was checking this out recently but everyone in this thread will be dead of old age by then, it's not expected to be a fast transition.

Same hour and temperature in my area but this was outside. We are fucked.

Yes, I would like new games please. Not necessarily console related, just I don't want to be stuck in the past, I would like to have new good experiences in my favorite medium thank you very much.

How are you this thick that absolutely everyone you interacted with in this thread has said you are out of touch and you just refuse to even entertain the idea. You are the real life "it's the children who are wrong" meme.

Cheap ones and airfryers. Normal cooking temperatures are 170-200, I only go above that for pizzas. No idea what you do with 218, I would only expect burnt ousides and gooey uncooked insides.

That's just because where you live it's the wild west but in other parts of the world removing an airbag or changing an exhaust without certification is a periodic inspection failure and you can't drive that vehicle on public roads until you fix it.

Not that I'm personally a fan of the more invasive requirements, but there are things that affect others and if someone doesn't have the respect or brain cells to avoid bothering others then a common ground needs to be set for everyone's safety and comfort. That includes the noise you make going down the residential street.

This got me thinking, milionare normally means you have at least a milion right? Where $50 would be a good estimate, but the moment you have 2 milion you go half to $25 and technically 999 milion is still a milionare.

I just realised the concept of looking at boobies in a book with extra long pages must be pretty foreign to anyone born after 2000s.

I could move to Signal, open up a chat with myself and chat for a while but I think it would get pretty boring pretty soon.

I wouldn't imagine that OP meant the question as Snowden being permanently labeled a hero for all of his life actions, nor should anyone ever be labeled as such. We are judging a specific action he took many years ago and also in a context of people generally labeling his action as good or bad since then. We are also not talking about comic book characters that are consistently one way or another through all of their actions. We can agree that a convicted felon can be heroic and a puppy loving doctor can do villainous shit as well depending on circumstance, opportunity and personal moral beliefs.

But for this specific action of exposing a terrible truth and essentially losing his way of life and being forced to live as a refugee, I don't think we should get into the pendatry of what a hero in theory is or if his action led to any actual change. Being suppressed by forces with way more weight than you doesn't eliminate whatever label your actions deserve.

I think you are being pedantic. If you went in risking your life to rescue a puppy from a burning house but the puppy doesn't make it because of the fumes or you jump on a robber but he kills and leaves with the money anyway, do you stop being a hero because you failed to enact change? That's ridiculous.

Ding ding ding. It's the same people that push AI. That's why the messaging is conflicting, to answer the original post question.

 

I think what's difficult to grasp is how easy they kidnapped Maduro. If it's as easy as a few months of training, simulation and intelligence and then just do it, how is it possible that none of the other much worse world leaders have not had this happen to them until now? Has this ever even happened in recent history?

You're telling me the US had the capability to eliminate any of the worst ones in much more problematic countries and chose not to because there was no oil in it for them? That's a grim thought.

 

Like for many other people, Valve single player experiences were one of my favorite of all time growing up. I considered both Half-Life and Portal to be masterpieces. It's true they've always been distracted with multiplayer games as well, things like Counter-Strike or Team Fortress and I did play them for sure, because I was a kid and I had all the time in the world.

These days I'm not a kid anymore and so when I game I tend to look more for memorable experiences instead of mindless grinding. Obviously I remember Valve as the experts in creating memorable experiences and I would like them to keep fully exploring those talents. They don't have that many employees, but they do have all the money in the world, no external pressure, no publisher to shit on them, it's just their developers and artists and a vision. But then they use all that and create this. An Overwatch looking moba shooter, really? I'm sure people will like and play it, but is this the results of the vision and ambition of a company like Valve?

It doesn't have to be Half-Life. I remember them saying that they dont want to do another one in the series because they are looking to innovate and make something truly original. My body is ready, give me anything. I can't imagine a moba shooter really fits with this description. I'm wondering how such a low hanging concept even becomes a real product at a company as ambitious as Valve.

I hear people are having fun with the new game and I'm happy for them. I am no longer the target audience and I wish them good luck with it. In the mean time let me hear your thoughts on it. Would you like to see another single player experience from Valve?

 

I've been using sync for a while and occasionally I go looking in the settings for the feature to hide read posts automatically, instead of having to do it manually. Other Lemmy clients have this so I was convinced sync should probably have it as well, I just can't find it. Does this exist? If not, is it something that could be added? Thanks!
