CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.oneto politics @lemmy.world•'I Couldn't Care Less': Trump Rejects Chance To Unify Country In Wake Of Kirk Death51·9 hours agoHis mission is to own the country. He doesn’t care what the outcome is beyond that.
CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.oneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing?5·9 hours agoDid we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing?
No disrespect but nurses weren’t in the towers evacuating people and trying to get them to safety. Nurses weren’t crushed by the collapses, or burnt to death by the fires. Nurses didn’t die of horrendous diseases due to inhalation of unknown toxins and asbestos. Were the nurses heroes who saved uncounted lives? Undoubtedly. But they were not first responders, and didn’t suffer the same outcomes.
That’s… literally the opposite of reality.

Such as? Because from my experience and the history that has been taught to me, the only solution is violence. Unless you can cite examples otherwise. I’m not aware of a fascist state that was voted out of power.

CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And CrashingEnglish1·10 hours agoI’m not dismissing the criticism of BL3, I honestly don’t know what it is beyond my personal experience. I wasn’t a big fan of the antagonists or the weapon changes, but It didn’t ruin the game for me. I really didn’t know that the game was so widely disliked - I never even looked into it. It came out, I played it, lost interest, and moved on with my life.

That’s fair. Between then and now there have been plenty of posts showing videos of him saying it. I wasn’t trying to dispute the claim but I’ll be damned if the truth is hard to come by these days and we need to be vigilant.

CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And CrashingEnglish23·1 day agoSo, BL3 wasn’t great. the pre-sequel was out of house and doesn’t really count. It was made in an entirely other culture. It’s not like there have been a lot of games since BL2.
I honestly don’t understand the hate.
CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.oneto News@lemmy.world•Powerful moment J.D. Vance carries Charlie Kirk's coffin as mourning wife and family join him on final journey23·1 day agoFuck Charlie Kirk, fuck JD Vance. His murder was wrong, but that’s as far as I’ll go.
I’d like to say that while the game feels great, the engine does not. I had to drop from 7680x2160 to 3840x1080 to make it playable on an RTX-3090. For context, I can play Star Citizen at full resolution just fine (7800X3D, X870 mobo and plenty of RAM.) I think it’s a UE5 issue. I also CTD a few minutes ago.
Gameplay wise it feels like an updated BL game. motion is vastly improved with double-jumping, climbing and dashing mechanics. I can’t say much about the guns or skills, since I’m currently only lvl 5, but the auto-gathering of ammo and the addition of a medkit mechanic (hit T to use the med gun on yourself which is itself a loot item) is a welcome improvement.
That’s about as much as I can say so far. I hate that it was $70, but we all knew that was going to be the new normal for AAA games.

Just like the posters in hospitals where they tell you to immediately notify staff if you see a face like that.
CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.oneto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Gets Called Hitler on First Ever D.C. Restaurant Trip2·1 day agoNot to him. To him it’s about being on top, being a winner. The policy shit is all done by other people. With his blessing, sure, but only after they talk to him in small words about how it’s great and will make people love him even more.
CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.oneto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Gets Called Hitler on First Ever D.C. Restaurant Trip9·2 days agoI fucking live here. Crime is extremely low where he is. The whole thing was a show from the beginning. “Democrat cities have crime and chaos, so i cleaned them up” is a talking point that he’s spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on, just to make himself feel special.
Oh no! Anyway…

Fuck Charlie Kirk. Now is the time for him to be forgotten. Downvote any reference to him wherever you see it. He’s no martyr and he’s no hero, conservative or otherwise. He had lots of bad hot takes, was a terrible debater, and has a legacy of hatred and bigotry. Was his murder good or justified, Absofuckinglutely not. Should he be memorialized and revered? Even bigger no. It’s our job to make the algorithm make him go away. Don’t engage in posts about him and be sure to downvote or not engage at all. Charlie Kirk needs to not even be a footnote in a history book about conservative politics.
The wikipedia entry about him in 20 years should be “Charlie Kirk’s political takes were so bad that he was murdered by one of his own.”
