The new Hong Kong 2097 is a “mind-numbing” twin stick shooter in which protagonist Chin makes a comeback. This time, he’s tasked by God to wipe out the population of the fictional country of “Amurikka” and establish a utopia. The sequel promises a more solid gameplay experience than its predecessor, but with an equally inappropriate and tasteless story.
I’m sure all the gamers who insist Call of Duty isn’t political will agree that this is a fictional country that says nothing about reality, right?
@ggtdbz @Hello_there The author actually has a post on this, too: https://xn–gckvb8fzb.com/never-click-on-a-link-that-looks-like-that/
(I’m guessing you deliberately avoided it since the person you’re responding to would also refuse to click that but I think it’s an interesting read for anyone who hasn’t seen it)
@knokelmaat @Beachbum If you’re referring to the fact that she @ mentioned OP, that’s not her specifically trying to call him out. She’s responding from Mastodon (as am I) which just handles all post replies like that.
@brickfrog @far_university1990 The dev saying it’s about “information on how to fund the project” is being… misleading. Windows binaries from the project are paywalled, so alternate builds being distributed via Winget presents a pretty clear threat to that funding by being free and more convenient.* They’re well within their right to not distribute their own builds for free, but the misleading way it’s framed here is not endearing… especially given this is a fork of another piece of FOSS software that will happily provide you Windows builds.
* As an aside, it really is so much better to have stuff distributed by a package manager. Who the hell wants to download an installer from Patreon for every new release, honestly. Some devs drive me crazy with their insistence on asinine distribution channels.

In addition to ego (which I’m sure plays a role) I think I would find myself reticent to lower the difficultly to “Easy” for a couple reasons
@[email protected] @[email protected] Good stuff, love the drag and drop improvements!
@[email protected] @[email protected] Omg THANK YOU for the per-workspace layouts.
@KillingAndKindess @alyaza B&J’s have always been quite principled and outspoken about it - they’re also staunch critics of the US prison industrial complex.
@sharkfucker420 It’s a good thing “A Modest Proposal”[1] wasn’t titled “The Benefits of Cannibalism” because I guess people would have taken that at face value as well.
@Gaywallet I have a couple thoughts on this:
This seems like a way that device attestation could worm its way further into our devices. Right now Google is trying to watermark AI-generated photos as AI, but you could easily go the other way - if a photo hasn’t been manipulated, it’s signed with a key that is locked down to device attestation. What, your phone is rooted? That’s kinda suspicious - how am I supposed to know your photos are real?
Short of that, though, I suspect that the most likely consequence of this is the videos will start being increasingly seen as necessary for true proof, since those are harder to fake - for now, at least. And of course, there will be a lot more misinformation on the internet, especially in the short term while awareness of this catches up.
@HawlSera I do recognize that tomboys, buff women, etc are worth representing, (and we should push for their inclusion) but that’s not what I’m talking about - I mean people who look like “men” but use pronouns other than he/him.
@HawlSera @chloyster I mean, I absolutely know people who use she/her but present very masc, and vise-versa. They may be relatively uncommon, but so are trans people in general and we’re still worth representing. Not to mention non-binary people who have relatively binary gender presentation. Your experience is absolutely not universal.
@chloyster @alyaza I had no idea the series was developed by Humongous! That studio made so many good games that I’m nostalgic for.
“Why didn’t she just keep her job, give us part of the wages to pay somebody else to do it?” he asked. “That is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do. The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other forms of contributing to a society is to me … a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately gonna unwind and collapse upon itself.”
“It’s the abandonment of a sort of Aristotelian virtue politics for a hyper-market-oriented way of thinking about what’s good and what’s desirable,” he added. “If people are paying for it and it contributes to GDP and it makes the economic consumption numbers rise, then it’s good, and if it doesn’t, it’s bad … that’s sort of the root of our political problem.”
It’s really funny when conservatives are like “See the problem with Wokeness is <describes capitalism>”
@WoahWoah Not to be the obnoxious didact in the room but I do feel compelled to point out that vegetables/herbs soaked in oil at room temp are generally not a good idea unless you like botulism poisoning: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/food/preservation/herbs-vegetables-oil-sp-50-701
Just for anyone who’s not aware! Honestly, immediately shitting yourself was not even close to the worst possible outcome lol.
@AVincentInSpace @remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. They’ve repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehaw’s decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and they’ve been pretty open about discussing it. You’re way off-base.
@Templa Codidact seems promising in this space. They have a non-profit organization and run on an open-source (but not federated) platform: https://codidact.com/
@HubertManne I suspect that dropping the letters at a doorstep isn’t the hard part. Letters require their own sorting infrastructure which can actually be quite complex, so doing this probably lets them streamline behind the scenes.
