But remember, we DO. NOT. LET. UP.

Not until every vote has been cast. Not until it’s over. Don’t get cocky, this is the narrowest race I’ve ever seen and by god there is no room for apathy or overconfidence.

Peak Konsi content, this might not normally be my style of character but I LOVE it when she gets to nonchalantly and completely accidentally upend people’s understanding of reality

WotC and failing to understand their own game, name a more iconic duo

Alright. That’s a perfectly reasonable concern. Do the Democrats have a concrete plan prepared to ensure that this doesn’t turn into Bush v Gore round 2? Because if Trump manages to legally contest this to the Supreme Court, then little problems like ‘Justice’ and ‘Truth’ certainly won’t get in their way of installing a dictator.

I’ve had some issues with Invidious being unable to play specific videos once or twice, but the issues tend to go away after a couple of days.

I mean, we know Google and Youtube are both multi-billion-dollar corporations that are absolutely enraged by the idea that there could be any possible way for a commoner pleb like you to NOT have your online experience absolutely crammed with as many privacy violations and hyper-targeted ads as possible. Invidious having to constantly stay ahead of such powerful entities’ attempts to block them out means that some errors and periods of downtime are perfectly excusable- what’s important is continuing to support them in their fight.

People really need to understand that for 3rd party candidates to actually be viable then they need a dedicated support base within the existing government structure.

You can’t realistically vote in a 3rd party president until you’ve first built up an actually effective support structure of 3rd party mayors, senators, and other politicians to prove that your party can function effectively in government rolls and that it has the reach, policies and platform to actually appeal to voters at large.

(On god we need Ranked Choice voting though. Here in the UK and in America. Fuck First Past The Post, all my homies hate FPTP)

Ooh, very nice! I’ve visited the country once, and ever since that visit whenever I taste dill I’m instantly transported back there. You guys have some really underrated good food!

“Roll a death save.”

“No.”

“…No? You can’t just not do that?”

“I don’t care.”

“That doesn’t make any sense!”

“Too bad.” Gets back up with 50% HP

Oh yeah, I wouldn’t say that Nintendo are paragons of virtue or anything. But they are far, FAR better at making games that offer a wide variety of experiences (edit: when compared to Sony/MS. Indies are king). Similarly, sure the Switch control scheme isn’t something nobody had ever conceived of before, but it’s very distinctly different from the Xbox/Playstation controllers.

They’ve got like… what, 7 or 8 IPs that they actively maintain, right? And about 10 more derelict but still iconic IPs. Plus some stuff made by other companies that’s exclusive to their hardware.

-Mario -Zelda -Pikmin -Splatoon (Hey look a gun game) -Fire Emblem -Donkey Kong Country -Super Smash Bros

Dedicated 3rd party: -Xenoblade -Pokemon

All these games have really different themes and gameplay styles and aesthetics, and that is the reason why I’m convinced that the Switch 2 is perfectly positioned to just completely take over the market the way the Wii did- Nintendo is large and competent enough to avoid the issues that plagued the PS5 launch and later life, and fresh enough to get people interested, unlike the Xbox.

Where Sony/MS have uhhh… Looks at the PS5 exclusive games… Looks at Halo/Call of Duty/Fortnite…

Pffff. The AAA industry is notorious for being about as stale as a three week old french baguette. If it isn’t a Gun Game made for chasing the most recent trends, then chances are they don’t even want to sniff at it. To say nothing of the absolutely egregious thirst for Profit that plagues a lot of titles. It’s one thing to be a $70 game, and another thing entirely to be a $70 game with a subscription, ingame puchases, and day 1 DLC.

Sony and Microsoft can have their pathetic little ‘arms race’ about processing power and framerates and 150GB+ games.

In the meantime, Nintendo is likely going to step right up with something that has a nice fresh, intuitive control scheme like the Wii or the Switch, with a solid release library that covers a variety of styles and appeals, and promptly curbstomp the living shit out of the competitors. The market is absolutely wide open for a smash hit console in the near future, coming off the backs of the PS5’s no-games failure and the fact I haven’t even heard about the Xbox in about 3 years.

Just please remember: Don’t let up until the results are being read. Every vote counts and nothing could be worse than pissing away a win because we got cocky based on some early signs

Oddjob is banned. No exceptions.

Yeah, checks out. I’m just a UK guy, but when the Tories were all having a media circus about “Oh inflation is done now, we’ve stopped inflation, the cost of living crisis is done!”, I mean… no amount of lying to my face is going to stop me going to the shops and wanting to scream when I see the price of Everything has jumped up by 20% again.

I can’t imagine that’s any different at all in China. You just can’t really hide something as objective as the cost of a bar of chocolate.

This may sound strange, but honestly once you understand the game it’s really the other way around!

The official 5e devs do NOT have any clue what they’re doing in terms of encounter balance and design; almost everything gets crapped on by a good spellcaster or Ranger, and they play it pretty safe and corporate with stories too. Half of 5e adventures are copies of old adventures and it really shows because all the copies of old classics are actually way more respected and generally liked (Curse of Strahd, Sunless Citadel, White Plume Mountain) than 5e originals (Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen). Notable exception being Dragons of Stormwreck Isle. Despite being the smallest original adventure in 5e it’s honestly good.

Still, I really appreciate the meme for our community! You’re the backbone of lemmy with all your posts my guy

Gonna say it, this REALLY feels like a case of the news cherry-picking what parts of a protest they show. Between the unreasonable viewpoint that’s directly adjacent to a very sensible and popular viewpoint and the fact we KNOW the media have a very vested interest in trying to push pro-genocide narratives (such as anti-Israel protests being pro-terrorist)…

Yeah, even someone as gullible as me? I’m not buying this.

Wew, 10% per year? That’s actually pretty solid, if I’m not missing anything. And having a good deal that lasts THIS long actually flips the normal shitty status quo of multi-year contracts on its’ head, now they won’t need to go to the effort of big strikes for a good few years while they’ve got these fair wage increases locked in.

Adblock my beloved

Isn’t this the plot of Fire Emblem Three Houses

Well the primary reason they would “backfire” is because Trump is perfectly consistent about being full of shit. There is literally no way that he’s going to do something that benefits anyone other than himself. We’ve had 8 years to learn that.

Holy sunk cost fallacy, batman. How fucking much does it cost to operate an ENTIRE GODDAMN NUCLEAR REACTOR just to fuel a tech project that nobody wants???
