Idc what anybody says cliffski is my kind of curmudgeon

Rting this only because I keep seeing people responding to this with credulity when that lady's (wrong) opinions are actually pretty mainstream

I see it with dads at the playground a lot, this mentality is very prevalent in Poland (in my experience?

As someone who actually likes babies and kids I actually restrain myself from being too friendly with them because people do assume that the only reason a man could be friendly with a child is if they are a predator

Worth also noting that the most obnoxious and performative "ughhhhhh kids get them away from me" i have ever been subject to was from a lady

And there is a casual truth to it, I see it all the time when I'm out with my kids. Many many exceptions but there is a real trend. Is it based in some essential sex characteristic or is it just that people internalize this stereotype? Idk, both maybe? Iiam and I don't really care

Not gonna wade into the pragmata or whatever discourse, I have too many real kids to worry about virtual ones butttt

It's astonishing how many people believe that stuff about men hating kids, that lady is wrong but she's expressing an extreme version of a very normie pov

I'm glad NYC finally invented trash cans

Mea culpa

Ok I'll admit I don't know anything about this I just wanted to rag on Americans who talk cluelessly about eastern europe

it might have been I honestly bailed at about halfway through

Gah if only I could figure out why a bunch of Estonians might have complicated thoughts and conflicted feelings about real-existing-socialism's rise and fall

I am reminded of one of the worst pieces of longform games crit I ever read, "disco elysium should be more hopeful about communism"

Yeah enhanced edition is basically cyberpunk 2.0, no reason to play the earlier one

Yeah despite the fandom and excessive franchising they are actually good. Even the bad ones (the bad Lucas ones at least) have a charm

You are confusing two different events.

19 April 1943 | Groups of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began the uprising against Germans. Their heroic battle lasted 27 days.

Today we remember the bravery & sacrifice of people who chose to resist against impossible odds to die in dignity & save the human spirit.

It's true

Willems makes really good YouTube and this is his best so far imo

And yeah someone should give him a feature

Carrion is great

Rting this everytime I have a great poop

But this is also true of MMOs and online card games and we already have a perfectly functional word for those

Chess.com isn't a live service game even if it is a "live service"

But by this definition, concord and highguard would not be live service games!

Cyberpunk 2077, NMS, Bolatro, and WoW are all in the same genre, amazing

*I assume I don't know anything about it tbh but it looks like "an overwatch" from the promo art

If you don't consider the monetization model to be part of the definition of "live service game" then no man's sky is a live service game, and that's insane. Right? We can agree that's nuts? It would make the term basically meaningless.

This imagine dragons thing is a character shooter*

Yeah this movie was really good

Alex blechman is the funniest poster on this site and I'm always thrilled when he goes viral and bewildered it doesn't happen more often
