- BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tftoWorld News@beehaw.org•You wanted a multipolar world? You got chaos. [Edit: Do Hamas represent Palestinians?]English3 years
Because it fits nearly every single clause in the UN convention on genocide? Because Israeli officials have admitted on national tv they intend to create “a second nakba”? Because they’re using dehumanizing language to describe Palestinians? Because they’ve admitted their goal is to take over Gaza? Because they’re violently attacking hundreds of people in the West Bank, where Hamas has no presence? Because it is by definition a genocide, and apologia like yours does nothing but try to push people into genocide denial.

In most cases you can, usually it’s a bit more convoluted, like inserting your disk then upgrading through the in-game pop up, or through the dlc menu while the disk is installed.
Ah, so he’s not the god king, just the representative of the god king in absentia, thanks for clarifying that for me. Doesn’t change that I don’t respect anyone who represents or is integrated into a caste-based ethnostate, but it’s good information nonetheless.
The god king of a ethnostate with enshrined caste system and slavery? I don’t really care what he thinks.
- BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tftoGaming@beehaw.org•Gargoyles Remastered's upgraded 16-bit platforming will be available in OctoberEnglish3 years
Jesus this is a terrible article, wtf is this supposed to mean?
The 1995 Disney 16-bit platform game Gargoyles is something that I vividly recall. Realizing my age next to a true gargoyle, I can firmly state that I don’t.
I bet you’re right.

Yeah, that’s why Japan is saying they’ll support the fishermen even if it’s takes decades to recover from this, right? I mean, it could be. If they expect nothing to happen, then that’s the cheapest method of taking care of them…
- BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tftoGaming@beehaw.org•The Metal Gear Solid Collection is so true to Hideo Kojima's "original vision" that it needed a new content warningEnglish3 years
Oh man, I don’t know how I forgot that visceral image. Though I kinda wish I’d kept my mouth closed and never remembered lmao. Thank you!

It’s been years since I played it, and it was only one time since it’s basically a demo, what happens at the end of MGS Ground Zeroes?

These aren’t protests by the masses, these are “protests” by investors upset that China is de-risking the real estate market exactly to prevent a Lehman style crash. They stopped publishing youth unemployment because it was useless data, the job of the youth is to become educated, not to work in the economy. Having a low youth unemployment means your youth are either not getting educated, or are being forced to work during their education.
Crank the difficulty and play as a samurai instead of a ninja. Just straight rush every enemy you see. You’ll still probably have problems trying to complete all the assorted landmarks on the map, but the combat is way more fun when you and everyone around you die in 1-2 hits and you’re constantly swapping stances to stay alive.
Honestly, I wouldn’t do a replay, if I were you. I would just get the expansion pack and play that. If you’re really itching for a replay, you can do New Game Plus and at least earn New cosmetics instead of unlocking the same ones again.

This is a video he posted, and still has up to this day, as you can see, where he dressed as a dentist and talks about removing immigrants as if they were dental cavities.
Here’s how I see it: It’s a crime that he’s locked up, the Russian state is a criminal organization through and through, but calling for the extermination of immigrants is not something that normal people do.
Now to be fair, he hasn’t made any new comments in years, but neither does he respond to requests to take down the video of recant his statements contained within it. It’s a complex situation, but I don’t think he is a good person to rally behind as an alternative to Putin. Ultra-nationalism isn’t a good look on anyone.

I’m sure it really is a sham trial, russias judiciary doesn’t have a good track record, but I’m not about to shed any tears for Navalny, dude is a bigot.
The Last of Us 2 is the only game to make me cry every single time I play it, ever. It also is so emotionally painful that I genuinely get minor depression after I do my yearly playthrough for at least a few days. I honestly don’t think there’s a game out with nearly as much of an emotional impact on me as that game.

“Let us beat swords into ploughshares.”
- BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tftoWorld News@beehaw.org•US to announce $345 million military aid package for TaiwanEnglish3 years
Straight Newspeak. You know what war deterrent is? Peace measures. Where are the brokered discussions between China/Taiwan trying to resolve the situation peacefully and in finality? Why not host both Chinese and Taiwanese dignitaries in a third country and attempt to negotiate some sort of end to this 3/4 century long game of chicken? People give the Swiss shit for their neutrality, but that’s exactly how peace happens.
Now, don’t take that by neutrality I mean to say that one should let one party overpower the other, but conversely, if we truly are the big world police, we should use our influence to extract concessions from the more powerful party to ensure fair dealings.
This is a complex geopolitical situation, not some black and white matter like so many contend.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . > This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

The DS4 was too small for my hands, I always felt slightly cramped on it, even worse on the DS3, so the extra girth of the 5 helps me feel more comfortable. I Can see why it’s not universally loved though, for sure. It’s an odd controller overall, but it works well for me.m, especially the Edge.
I feel that. I play retro games on my SBCs, so that feature is less important to me on a console style controller.
We’re quite a ways away from emulating the PS4 library, sadly.
