I have bought two secondhand copies of a fairly common Wii game and both of them were scratched to the point of being unreadable (hexbear.net)
 

Anti-piracy Nintendo paypigs have failed to consider how effective the wear and tear aspect of data rot is at eroding media preservation

Started modding Beat Saber but 85% of the custom maps are expert+ only which sucks if you are slow and bad at games (hexbear.net)

People just let me walk around with an expired driver's license for five months without telling me wtf (hexbear.net)
 

My license expired five months ago and I KNOW that I've been using it as an ID since then for various appointments but it was only today when I went to Costco that someone finally said to me 'hey your ID is expired' since they couldn't give me my prescription without a valid one.

what the hell man

What's a game that got critically and player acclaimed that you disliked anyway? in c/[email protected]

Death Stranding is one of those games I consider to be good but at the same time I also believe that the vast majority of people will not enjoy playing it. Like Elite Dangerous.

Why do you have to jiggle the control stick in order to detach parts from constructs. Why not just have a dedicated button. Why include an intentionally unpleasant and sadistic game mechanic like that. Why

I did not care for Mario Odyssey very much.

It might just be because I have little baby hands but I found the primary movement cappy hat bounce maneuver to be extremely unpleasant to pull off, especially having played Mario Galaxy 2 recently before it.

It was a very pretty game but imo there were not nearly enough cool set pieces. But then again I am a Sunshine enjoyer so my opinion can be taken with a grain of salt.

Knockout is once again being very normal about China (hexbear.net)

Yeah this is a reasonable reaction to a Deviantart style microdrama (hexbear.net)
 

Dudes, relax

Before anyone wants to be contrarian about this: no one is going to stop you from using a stranger's weeb digital art as your profile pic. It is not illegal to use someone else's art for your profile pic without permission and no one is saying it's should be.

The point of this post is that this is an extreme overreaction to a conversation that concludes with 'pwease ask this other person for permission, the art is of their character design not mine 🥺' in a niche art community that operates on an honor system for the sake of being polite to one another.

What's bleak is that the US has the strongest propaganda engine in the world and it's not being used to terrify people about Climate Change (hexbear.net)
 

For fucking years both the Repubs and Democrats have been aware of the science behind Climate Change. They know, their donors know, the military industrial complex knows, the information has been out there.

And both parties have had the opportunity to just blast the airwaves with constant propaganda for years priming people to be shitting their pants in fear over the climate, and they haven't.

They could have been dragging the most dewy eyed, trembling elderly farmers in front of cameras every week and have these sad old Classic Americana™ white men sobbing as they talk about how scared they are of crop failures and famines. They could have been showing piles of dead fish and animals against the backdrop of classic American landmarks. They could have done medical featurettes about how wet bulb temperatures would easily kill people (especially cute old grannies and children!) in the south eastern US.

And they could have kept doing this, all the time, week after week, the most dire doom and gloom predictions and warnings, whatever it would possibly take to start warming the chuds up to the need to make infrastructure changes in the US. Until people come to them demanding big structural changes.

And they haven't. They haven't done it. They still aren't doing it.

They're really going to run the clock out on this until they die of old age or they can all go to their defensive bunkers while everyone else dies of famine and war.

They're not even going to try stopping it. They're not even going to try proposing any Big Changes that could make a difference, because they know the majority US population would never agree to it. They're just going to keep promising miracle tech and gun down refugees at the border until they can sneak off stage while no one is looking.

They won't even paint the fucking roofs white, man.
