Veilguard, Session, and a lot of Skate 3. It’s all been an adventure.

Oh yeah. I’m still regularly playing Skate 3 and making video clips from it. I mix it up though. I play tons of old console and PC games (Steam Deck), and occasionally get into a headspace where I dive back into retro games. N64, NES, Genesis/Master System, etc.

On the flip side, I’m playing Veilguard right now. I usually don’t buy games on release day, but I make exceptions. The other exception I made was Elden Ring and I have nearly 400 hours into that. No regrets.

Woof. What a disaster. That dude always struck me as a grifter.

What’s happening with Mr. Beast? I’m out of the loop.

It’s such an easy one to misspell. I was a graphic artist for years and it’s not the first time I’ve seen this error. Glad I could help! Lmao.

“Get you spot” - typo??

This is pretty neat! The new tech for big screens is unreal.

I’m not sure how you’ll be using these tools but Jan might be an option. There are some free AI models you can download and use right in the app locally. https://jan.ai/

Yep. They’ve gotten smarter. Some of the plugins and tools websites use to create a paywall will actually only render part of the article to the browser before the user signs up. They used to simply mask it and you could remove the paywall via editing some CSS in the browser’s dev tools to see all of the text, but that’s not the case anymore.

He would probably hide sensitive government docs in there.

This strikes me as state-funded or state adjacent hacking. Kind of like how the destruction of Twitter eliminated a source of on-the-ground, 24/7 information for the working class on all of the events our governments would prefer we not see so that their propaganda can be produced more lazily. Destroying the Internet Archive acts as another hindrance to the working class when it comes to staying informed and enriched.

I love whoever made the Road Rash, Skitchin’, and Skate 3. Other than that, EA can fuck off. That ship has sailed and I no longer pay attention to their catalog.

To give you a more adult answer, it would be absolutely insane to allow anyone the power to decide whose life is forfeit and whose isn’t. We’ve witnessed that slippery slope before with the death penalty in Texas and Missouri. If we allow that kind of thing to continue or go unchecked, where does it end? How long before someone decides that something else justifies it and where does that power cease to continue expanding? What about rank when it comes to war crimes like you mentioned earlier? It’s easy to say “fuck that guy, they deserve a slow death,” but if society put that into practice, it would be chaos and would set a terrible precedent. Executions are a definitive characteristic of any authoritarian regime.

There are also special cases where a cop or a soldier goes off script and summarily executes someone unarmed. Do they deserve death because of their carelessness for the life of another? I know if the person killed was a friend or family member, I’d hope for the culprit’s death, but I’d never feel like I should be allowed to decide that.

This kind of thing can lead to a very deep dark hole where society blackens and removes all humanity, and leftist movements exist to preserve life.

I don’t believe in the death penalty but I also won’t cry over the death of a fascist carrying out genocide. If he dies a lonely death in a cell, that’s still the same outcome, even if power is a vacuum. It was also a late edit in jest, but I also hope he bites it asap.

I’d take rotting in prison forever. That’s acceptable.

I think we can make an exception for people that have carried out, or are actively carrying out, a genocide. Same would go for Hitler if he wasn’t a coward that did it himself.

I’m okay with fascists and other repeat offender threats to the planet being thrown in a prison forever. They don’t have to die and no one has the right to determine whose life is forfeit and whose isn’t. But if they repeatedly endanger the lives of others, including animals, they need to be away from society.

Texas is set to execute yet another person and Missouri executed an innocent man despite the DA’s objection and new evidence.

The death penalty is acceptable for people like Netanyahu.

I actually found The Messenger after completing Sea of Stars and being so invested in it. I looked the devs up and decided I’d buy all of their stuff.

I liked The Messenger a lot.

I have all nsfw content filtered out on my main account and my own instance doesn’t allow nsfw subs.

Sounds like you need to diversify your Lemmy subs honestly lmao.
