Vegans complaining about other people needlessly injecting themselves into conversations is peak copium.

Sorry that the developers don’t cater to making life easier for people that haven’t bought their game lmao what an entitled take

At this point, I just use someone complaining about the national debt as a secret code for them saying “I have zero idea how economics works”.

I would love for them to bring back places like the Bell Towers in DS2. Does elden ring even have a mirror knight type boss that can summon people?

Ah yes, how greedy of a company, to checks notes stop you from telling their online distribution service that you own something you don’t.

Pirate all you want, live how you want. But valve is a company, they do sorta have to follow those pesky laws and regulations.

Snipers, famously useless in real life due to ballistic physics.

Given that both of your examples are commonly authoritarian if not outright fascist in ideology, I’m not exactly sure they’re too interested in class solidarity?

Glad you can grandstand but “you and the inbred moron who voted for the people who enabled things to get this bad are both getting dicked, so you should accept their opinions as respectable” is not the slam dunk argument you think it is.

Why would they design it to be any better if you’re still willing to pay for it?

It’s not a majority, but it is a higher risk factor. Especially when Sweden/Finland produce a lot of metal bands and are also a higher risk factor for nazi sympathy - by and large they certainly don’t idealize them but they also aren’t always vilified to the same level as you might expect elsewhere

Read “Nationalism” as “your comment is inconvenient to the tankie narrative”

It’s not a job description, it’s a skillset. Any public face would want it.

Maybe the fact you assumed it was specifically more negative because it was tencent says something else 🤔

As someone who’s played their fair share of assorted DnD systems, 5E has a number of issues that really hold it back. For instance, you’re not really supposed to long rest between every fight, but how do you tell players that without a proper DM? It’s a very weak mechanic that’s apparently too iconic to have just axed.

Don’t get me wrong, 5E works better at what it’s supposed to - easily accessible and relatively low math tabletop roleplay. But a computer can do so much more.

TLDR: the last time someone that didn’t understand economics paid off the national debt, it didn’t end well.

If there is a finite amount of money you can print before suffering the effects of inflation, deficit spending allows you to increase the amount of money in circulation without just printing more. If I owe you 100 trillion dollars, you owe Japan 100 trillion dollars, and Japan owes me 100 trillion dollars, this is good for the economy. Yes, it probably sounds like voodoo magic. No, I’m not qualified to help with that.

Now, there is still an upper limit on how much debt is okay, generally tied to interest rates. We’re beginning to scratch that upper limit thanks to deficit spending during covid, but it’s by no means problematic and things would overall probably have been worse without the extra spending.

One of my boys is particular. You can scritchie his belly, but it has to be a specific way. You can scritchie endlessly, but if you stop, move, or get it wrong, the hind legs come out.

Given that Lego is a privately owned Danish company that seems to be a pleasure to work for, I’m quite happy with the pricing compared to alternatives.

Ah, the age old “welp, the only people that stuck with us through all the bullshit clearly have zero standards or expectations, no point in improving anything”

Right, totally has nothing to do with big oil spending billions on propaganda and practically inventing the idea of an individual’s “carbon footprint” themselves.

And the books! The big takeaway from scott pilgrim really shouldn’t be idolizing either scott or ramona. They both need therapy.

Risky play for someone said to be able to walk on water.
