  • I mean memes can be a form of propaganda/there’s a venn diagram there, but considering there isn’t much subtlety in this one and some others— and I’d like to think I’m not in the mindset to take anything of this caliber from the right as any form of truth— “meme” is a considerably more apt descriptor.

  • It may be hypocritical and inconsistent of me, but left-wing propaganda is the only time I can think of off-hand where I’m pretty OK with AI usage (or is this just a really good Photoshop)?

  • Yeah what’s the metric for success in protesting a cause so embedded in the roots?

  • Anker recalls over a million power banks due to fire and burn hazards

    Jump

  • Well, better to be recalled instead of buying something off brand and replacing it every three months like I did with other batteries and cords before I caught on to those shifty Amazon scammy retailers.

    …I mean yes it’d be great if nothing was recalled at all, but uhhhh, I ain’t gonna hold this one against them.

  • You can now search for Steam games by adjustable difficulty, mouse-only options and other accessibility tags

    Jump

  • That's the one.

    Aside from that I sort by release date and check back every now and then.

    I just now noticed they had a toggle for 'Released,' so I don't have to see a bunch of TBD games. I'm just gonna start doing what you're doing and keep an eye on the list once in a while. Thank you for the tip!

  • I wish they’d expand on it and have a filter for player count in co-op. I have a game group of five and finding co-op, 5 player games is hard/most of them cap at 4.

    The ones that don’t cap at 4 and aren’t requiring high dexterity (i.e. fps) are base building survival games all the way down— which are fine for the most part, don’t get me wrong, I just wish we could find something with the production quality and premise of Outlast Trials.

    So far we’ve done: Conan Exiles, The Forest (1 & 2), Astroneer, Core Keeper, Return to Moria, Green Hell (may have been before we were at 4), Demonic, Deep Rock (with a 5 player mod), and a little REPO (which was good, but no progression system yet). I wanted to try Barotrauma but the puppet movement’s a bit janky for me.

    I know there’s a third party search engine I can use, but it’s sooo full of junk it’s hard to find anything worthwhile.

    Looking forward to The Big Walk, and am keeping an eye on Dune when it comes to consoles.

  • There was an article I read somewhere about steering people with negative traits into careers that might benefit society despite their negativity.

    The example they used with narcissism in healthcare can blend in quite well because the importance and appreciation put on doctors and nurses for by (some of) the patients they’ve helped encourages them to do the same saving for others.

    If someone’s negative trait is they derive pleasure from inflicting pain on others, what career would be good for them? Slaughterhouse employee? I have no idea where to “steer” these people.

    However part of me wonders how many more of them would be out in the real world affecting real people if certain multiplayer games didn’t have them addicted…

    …looking at you, Dead by Daylight.

  • IMO ACAB is great on a behavioral science level: it sets the anchor/starts the conversation with a statement as an absolute, which the defense then has to find exceptions to. While they do that grunt work, the catchy phrase enables confirmation bias in the fence-sitters and people who already agreed with it.

    It’s like starting a barter at an exorbitantly high price so the buyer is primed to offer a price higher than they would’ve before hearing the anchor.
