what annoys me is that he is shown as this super genius with omega level deductions and impossible predictions, but deus ex machina apart, he is actually mediocre and his sense of justice is pretty much guided by television.
Your prudery and moralism bore the hell out of me https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18

His world didn’t have any less corporate and government corruption than ours, but he still just targeted petty criminals instead of warlords and world leaders… he cared more about punishing pickpockets than CEOs that would willingly be poisoning entire communities to save money… so why would he care about Epstein files? I bet he would be all like “wait there, we can’t just be jumping to conclusions, just because someone’s name is in there doesn’t mean they did anything wrong, we can’t just slander them blah blah blah”.
The character is portrayed like a super genius, but his vision of the world is basically that of your average police news TV host… what I believe Light would have really like is, after watching in the news someone saying antifa is a terrorist organization, is getting his hands on a police list of “antifa members”


Be sincere, what are the chances for you to empathize with the victim if it was a regular average mundane dude? Imagine the detective bursting out, “Damn you! He was a working man! He liked watching football!”


“oh, you had a million of signatures, but unfortunately this is a multi-billion dollar industry”


It’s hard when the USA send lobbyists and pays a bunch of people in high places to cancel local projects and convince others that it’s a waste of money and time to developed technology since they can buy it from the USA.


Every server of what? If you were on private central servers, like a UO shard, perhaps, because GMs were very active in the community, although shards I played would probably just tell you to block users you don’t like. Lots of games had just a lobby for matchmaking and you connected to the person hosting the match, lots didn’t even have chat outside the match, it was just a list of available games, and only moderation was if the person hosting cared. Stuff with central servers like Diablo/StarCraft… was there even who to complain to? Back in the day you didn’t like someone you blocked the person or joined another match instead of calling the cops.


I recommend Texhnolyze
Oh they are all fat and happy now :)
I added a few things to the text, but it was just more specifics about their medical treatment, that the vaccination marked the end of the quarantine, a picture of the two dogs, and that my mom says Zezé is a gift sent by Saint Francis (also added a next button at the bottom for convenience)
I’m working on their profiles now, tons of pictures to select, resize, convert, rename… I did the profile for the old ones first, and before posting the “barbarians” I wanted to tell their story


I swear people downvoting here would be upvoting articles saying “finally with auto target this FPS game fixed the problem of how hard it is to spot enemies”


“finally, decent inventory management” BULLSHIT! Diablo 2 inventory management is great, what they did now is give more slots because whiny modern players CAN’T MANAGE their inventories FOR SHIT!
This loot filter though, looks great.


Very common in Brazil: Rosa, Margarida, Jasmim/Yasmin, Lívia, Íris.
ps: Margarida is Daisy and Lívia is Lily.


Yes, I agree, this Homer guy completely lacks decorum by seeing some stranger celebrating and trying to interrupt and censor it. Like, how do you just barge into someone’s conversation and try to rule how it has to proceed? Very rude indeed.


yes


this shit is so old, but old fuck should be sucking dick and balls instead of policing how people celebrate anyway


Has a single conservative outlet consider this unreasonable though?


fucking hell, I really thought it was a satire, but what’s really scary is how many absolute morons are ready to get behind it.


This doesn’t answer who is that Dem presidential candidate who isn’t in Israel’s pocket… perhaps Paperboy Love Prince?


And who was that blue button for?


lol the downvotes
“You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”
You can buy a game license on Steam. Your only access to it is through them, you can only install and play it through their store. You need to have their program running to check your license and also probing your system to see what you are running and logging your activity. If the company so decides, they can remove your access to the game because you never bought it, they only gave you a license. This market model removes player’s autonomy and keep everything locked out of players control.
Or you can buy a game on GOG. After you buy the game you don’t need GOG for anything, you have full control of the installation file and can back it up however you want and install wherever you want. You can use their launcher if you want to log your activity for social features but that’s optional. You bought the game and have your copy, publisher and distributor can fuck off forever.
Yet, people believe not owning and controlling the games you paid for is “better”…
(not knowing how games used to be, and what online stores have taken from you, is a tragedy)
Oh, the game is not available on GOG? That’s because the publisher doesn’t want consumers to have any control over the game, they want to control how, when and where you can play it, including revoking licenses if your own self-hosted private servers don’t follow the moderation rules the company wants, and if you still buy it you are just keeping this anti-consumer market model viable - just like consumers made lootboxes, pay-to-win, battle passes, single player games requiring online verification, and everything that enshitified gaming viable. Market share is no metric for service quality.
I read it as cost of living and average wages got better, so congrats
