Played this back to back with the walking dead from telltale. Do not recommend.

We include the other countries by putting all their players on US teams.

[Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Does that include buying magickarp for extra pain? Hopefully you are using an emulator so it at least loves faster.

Israel's end is near 😎 in c/memes@lemmy.ml

What stupid fuck wouldn't know about Israel in 2025? People still know about lots of countries that haven't existed for centuries.

American Employee: What Constitutes A Resignation in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Start looking for a new job. The culture is going to change and the expectations are going to change. You can try and leverage more money or promotions, but you are going to be in a company we're the majority are people that can't leave.

What is your least favorite Marvel movie and why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Pym particles are the speed force of the marvel universe.

Why the gradual death of the console exclusive makes business sense in c/gaming@lemmy.ml

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

It took music a while to learn this, and most game companies already knew it. I just wish streaming platforms would learn a bit faster that exclusives aren't that useful.

What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It's not trivial to be an astronaut, but most didn't need to be. Flying the ships, docking, and landing on an asteroid all require intense skills. The drilling required a similarly intense set of skills that you can't gain in a week. You can probably teach someone the bare minimum of putting on a suit and working in it.

I don't understand the the thinking that astronauts would be amazing drillers. Drilling is functionally a trade, the education aspect isn't the key factor, it's the experience. The movie actually does a fair job explaining why.

Plenty of Germans punched nazis, it didn't stop them from rising. Removal of them is different than preventing their rise in the first place. Kind of like pests, you don't tent a house to prevent termites.

There's a huge push to simplify a lot of history from that era. Probably because there's a lot of uncomfortable things that actually happened. It's way easier to say nazis bad and Hitler dumb, than confronting that nazi Germany was economically superior to most of Europe at the time. That a huge amount of nazi policies enjoyed popular support globally. That holocaust included, the nazis really weren't that bad compared to Japan/USSR during the same period.
