A New York Times reporter was asked why they consistently frame things as bad for Biden but never bad for Trump. (old.reddit.com)

"I think what you're reacting to is that, at the moment, Biden is an unpopular president seeking a second term while Trump is a popular figure inside his party who is winning primary races. I wouldn't necessarily compare the two."...

Look, you have two choices:

  • You stay home and wake up in a nightmare where Trump uses his power to usurp the presidency and end democracy, because that’s exactly what he and his followers want.
  • You get your ass to the polls and vote for Biden.

Y’all remember Kennedy and how he called for the end of the Vietnam War? Yeah, me neither.

Both parties have always had pretty shitty international policy, but at least one of those parties actually wants to govern and participate in democracy.

I blame South Park.

Boomers don’t pay attention to 4Chan. It’s such a small segment of the population.

Gen X and Millennials pay attention to South Park, though. They see that “douche vs. turd sandwich” bit and think “Hey, that applies to our situation now!” Then they stay home in protest, because they don’t like certain aspects of Hillary’s campaign and ideals, as opposed to hating every aspect that Trump does or represents.

It’s not about picking the “lesser evil”. It’s about having realistic expectations and analyzing the situation as a whole. During the primaries, you pick the candidate you want. During the general election, you pick the party you want, even if your primary pick didn’t win. That’s it.

Yeah, take Jeremy Soule, for example. He’s talented, experienced, and composing all of these broad symphonic soundtracks for Elder Scrolls, Skyrim, and Harry Potter games.

But, what’s the soundtrack of his that sticks out in my mind? Secret of Evermore. Underrated as fuck soundtrack for an underrated as fuck game. Back when he was forced to compose for a game with limited hardware and instrumentation, where he had to use distinct melodies to achieve a sound that sticks in everybody’s minds.

Every Frame a Painting did a good video on this subject, as it pertains to the Marvel movies.

They already fixed most of the bugs in the first major patch. Are you talking about the lost audio log near the entrance to the elevator on Level 8? They fixed that problem.

Because System Shock 2023 just sounds goofy. I’m not sure how else they could have renamed it. They’ve been doing this with movies for decades, too.

The “Enhanced Edition” was the old version of the game with some mods and tweaks to make it playable for modern audiences. The new one is an actual graphical and gameplay remake.

Good, they’ve been on a tear of classic remakes here lately, and I hope the new engine System Shock was built from can be used to remake System Shock 2.

The only game I found that was actually successful in doing something like that was “Dark Souls: Remastered”, and only because it’s fucking Dark Souls.

The fact that they are trying to “bring the FPS combat to AAA standard” when the damn game isn’t even supposed to be an FPS, is exactly why this game will never get finished.

Think of a time in your work life where some project had the worst scope creep you’ve ever seen. Now multiply that by 1000.

But partially submerged when 20% of the door is still above water then yes it should be possible to still open the door

Partially submerged, the door would be very hard to open, due to water pressure. The water pressure needs to fully equalized between the inside and outside of the car.

Did we learn nothing from Mythbusters?

This forever-in-development thing they have going on is ridiculous.

It’s a feature, not a bug.

NSA shares zero-trust guidance to limit adversaries on the network (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

The NSA has issued guidance on adopting zero-trust principles to counter internal network threats. Zero-trust architecture prevents unauthorized access and movement within networks by assuming threats exist and enforcing strict access controls. The approach includes data flow mapping, segmentation, and software-defined...

Given how dependent we are with third-party companies, libraries, and cloud-based services, it is impossible to be in a zero-trust state that is anywhere near comfortable. The whole world is in a “move fast and break shit” mentality that is killing our privacy and security.

We need more standards, and we need them now. Everybody keeps inventing their own shit and hoarding it for themselves, which we are forced to use, and we just have to put up with the potential for data breaches and hacker intrusions.

Add Square to the list. They have had the absolute worst PC ports with zero updates.

Which is why there is zero point for Democrats to try to appeal to Trump voters. They are a lost cause, stuck in a cult. When they decide to get out of that cult, sure, we’ll welcome them back into sanity.

They don’t care about anyone before they were born. Abortion is just a hot topic for them to parade around to get votes, and nowadays, that strategy is backfiring so much that they try to ignore it as much as possible.

Why are they remaking Spice and Wolf?

I just saw that for Spring they’re doing a new Spice and Wolf, but it looks like they’re not continuing the story but re-making what already had a pretty good IMO anime with 2 seasons. IIRC That anime was also pretty close to the source material, so I can’t really see what us watchers will get from a remake other than I...

Memberberries. That’s always the answer.

Also, Star Control 2, which recently got a free release on Steam. Though, I’m not sure what happen with the Star Control franchise, since that specific game is now open-source.

Vodka is the easiest goddamn spirit to turn into a high-tier brand. There is barely any flavor to Vodka, and even an expert could not tell the difference between a $150 bottle of vodka and a $30 bottle in a blind taste test.
