    I’m sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.

    So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It’s almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn’t mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand



  • Solo had L3-37 who was presented as being a self made individual literally and she was also humanized with her body and movement being less stuffy and robotic and more human. I remember people complaining she was woke.

    Maybe it’s woke to advocate for someone having equal rights or wanting to be viewed equal to people when the story presents her as someone who is self-aware, capable of emotions, and desires freedom. She certainly uses a lot of terms that I guess people who are worried about wokeness might find off-putting.

    BUT, here’s the thing most of the time when she says that she wants fair treatment or equal rights it’s presented as a joke. Even her losing her body and the ability to freely move and pursue her own goals is treated as something of a happy ending. Remember the whole movie where she said she wants freedom and autonomy and how she’s a self made droid? Well now she’s shackled inside a computer with no ability to escape, but it’s a happy ending because the audience wasn’t meant to take her seriously.

    So in that the context of Solo the people who were complaining about wokeness were missing the forest through the trees, when the only messaging that could really be considered “woke” was something that was treated as a joke in the movie. I wouldn’t be surprised if people complaining about wokeness are just people who are upset if minorities or gay people exist and they use the term to hide behind and avoid outright saying it

    (I’m aware that there’s more Star Wars than just Solo, but I haven’t seen all the new stuff and was mostly using it as an example)


  • Israel has had a very loose criteria for military targets if you take a look at recent history. I think you bring up a major point.

    Considering Netanyahu just said he would attack foreign aid for Palestine. Israel’s actions like the IDF sniping kids in convenience stores, and taking shots at the Japanese medical personnel during the cease fire of operation pillar of defense/cloud, and targeting media offices should call into question, what does Israel consider a military target?

    Learn to read in context.

    The context of your post is that Doom will run on anything, but it won’t run on Steam Deck.

    If I take everything you say out of context then well…

    Crisis (2007) is famously unoptimized and will indeed run on Steam Deck (on high settings too) if you use a fan made launcher.

    So your example of a game that runs on Steam Deck is an unsupported game. That won’t run after a fresh install.

    The difference between Crysis and the remaster is that the remaster is actually optimized and you can probably get it running on a lower end PC, while the OG Crysis can run as a slide show on some modern systems because it’s so unoptimized. When people say “But can it run Crysis?” they aren’t talking about the remaster.

    The Steam Deck compatibility on store pages is not a comprehensive list of games that will run on Steam Deck and that’s lame, but that’s not what you posted about

    Since you can’t figure it out on your own and are demanding to be right (without bing correct)

    Your post says it won’t run Doom. It will.

    Why have one that doesn’t actually communicate the status of a games playability? Why have a status called “Playable” and not use it to communicate that yes in fact the game can be played on a SteamDeck.

    I agree completely and would have if that was what you posted, instead you said

    Turns out the Steam deck WILL run Crysis but not Doom
