Nah, same here. I never connected it online. I just use it as a display

American prisons are a horror show, I can confidently say I would rather die.

This is such a non fix being spun into a fix that this premise is garbage.

‘It’s torture’: brutal heat broils Texas prisons, killing dozens of inmates in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Ah so the workaround is that as long as cruel punishment is normalized, it's always acceptable. You can do something unethical today, and as long as people let you get away with it, it's completely moral.

Thanks America!

This is criminal, but I guess it's okay because the 13th amendment says prisoners are property so they don't have to worry about their health, safety and rights.

Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

It happens yes, but I stopped because I understood that insects / mold / organisms grow on fruit and vegetables, so I think of it as gross now, but it beat a hairbrush handle.

how to get Mushimesama Futunari DLC now for 360? any other release? (lemmy.world)
 

I have Mushihimesama Futunari on Xbox 360 for a long time, store closed and I learned black label DLC is now going.

Are there any option? I can't find physical DLC disk, maybe it never exist.

I have options?

It's kinda like buying banana ketchup when you mean to buy tomato ketchup. Sometimes you just look at the shape of the bottle or the area and your brain turns off.

Don't break law and you have nothing to fear, China tells Taiwan staff of multinational firms in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Well before I got voted down, that was my point. China and Taiwan consider both territories as China. This literally means that Taiwanese see Taiwan as China, and both belief systems are in agreement about there being one China, they just disagree about how that works.

Foreigners don't get that Taiwanese see themselves as Chinese, and it's just infinitely more complex than they are two different countries, mostly because that's not really the case.

I low key love it. It's unconventional, but it's not hard to read

I never hear people talk about the animals that are likely dying of a heat stroke (lemmy.world)
 

Sorry for the poor title, but even when people talk about climate change, and know it's hotter for them, people don't actually seem to talk about the impact on the rest of the biosphere.

I can't tell if it's not thought about, or just not discussed as much because it is not 'relevant' to their lives.

I can barely function outside for a few minutes without being drenched in sweat, and some of it is probably poor health and not being used to it, but I can tell sl with certainty that I can't survive outside in this heat, and I'm living as a result of a trick or technology.

The animals though? Some of them are straight up fubbernucked. There will be mass animals die offs and people won't even notice.

Remakes and faithfulness to the original vision (lemmy.world)
 

I think about this from time to time, but most recently it's the Persona 3 remake that's got me thinking about it now.

The original game was dark, gritty, and I'm really concerned that they're going to downplay that for the more colorful 'mainstream' style in Persona 5.

I loved Persona 5, but 3 has my favorite aesthetic, my favorite 'feel'. I'm worried they now feel like the dark blue, and 'gun' motifs are more controversial now.

I'm also highly disappointed that the extra content from FES and portable won't be in it, that feels like half the appeal of a remake for this title.

I want to like it, but I probably won't.

With the release of Phantom Liberty, I truly hope this game is remembered fondly (lemmy.world)
 

Maybe I like bad games, or maybe Cyberpunk 2077 was never quite as bad as people say - I'm not sure because I unironically love Forspoken and think it's one of the best games I've ever played.

I did hate on the game hard at release, and a lot of it was well deserved, trying to play it on PS4 or Xbox One ( I picked it up on both ) was actually awful and unstable, I couldn't progress past the club at the beginning of the Street Kid life path so I eventually hung it up for a while.

I bought it at launch, and it was a bad launch, reminded me of the launch of No Man's Sky, except visually the game was stunning, and there was a lot more substance, but it was actually broken.

I ended up giving it a real try at the end of 2021 when I managed to get my hands on an Xbox Series X and it was a drastically different game. This was before the 'next gen' patch, but it had enough fixes and ran butter smooth on the Series X that I ended up getting enthralled.

Y'all this game is good. I had a great build that was frustratingly nerfed hard at the next gen patch ( RIP Overwatch ) but wow the story and world is so interesting, and I feel like this is this AI revolution story just waiting to be told in the background - it's good shit.

I haven't played since the next gen patch, so all that will be new to me along with Phantom Liberty so I'm looking forward to a drastically different game than I played a year and a half ago.

I think CDPR finally did it, or will have did it upon release.

I can't wait.
