their games have featured modding on both playstation and xbox in some capacity

but yes, its also nonsense

it hasnt become synonymous, certain people want to make it seem like theyre synonymous

taking sides is fine and even right, but that needs to come with recognition and acceptance of that side’s problems

do you have one for EU folks? want to donate, but donating to an actual trustworthy org is hard enough when there isnt this much misinformation

what mask

spreading child pornography is in fact illegal in most of the world

from what ive seen, most of the issues with the engine folks have are in fact not issues with the engine

76 has actually made me pretty hopeful for the direction of bethesdas games- it includes a return to older style dialogue, introduced more skill checks and the like, featured a more cohesive world and generally seemed like it went back on the simplification a fair bit

starfield similarly seems to be more of a return to form for them, focusing more on character builds, an expansive trait system etc

it is also being worked on heavily by the lead quest designer for far harbor iirc, which is absolutely a good sign and is setting my hopes high for a deeper, more complex and more forked main questline than Bethesda usually goes for

it is no longer socially unacceptable

the options are not in fact committing borderline war crimes or accepting russian rule

and no, dropping cluster bombs are actually the fault of the person dropping cluster bombs

if turning several kids into chunky red paste per russian is just the price youre willing to pay thats one thing, but at least grow a spine and say it with your whole chest instead of shoving off the responsibility on said russians

98% of 13,306 recorded cluster munitions casualties that are registered with Handicap International are civilians, while 27% are children

bombing your own population and its kids to own the russians

no, its still an extremely weird thing to see in the modern age regardless of how common it is

clusters are banned from use by 111 countries, with a dozen more interested on ratifying the ban for a reason

this should be getting a hard no from anyone that supported the ban, anyone that has criticised russias use of them in this war, really anyone in general

a budget gaming pc that requires minimal upkeep or research into picking parts or putting them together

if that isnt a good enough reason, counterpoint: maybe consoles just have no point then

exclusivity is shit and blatantly anti-consumer

governments would never allow that, and im sure Microsoft is aware that they would never allow that

its the principle behind the ‘right to be forgotten’

if you posted something to a public forum and changed your mind, deciding it shouldnt be public after all, you should have that option

engaging with tipping culture effectively means enabling said culture

not to mention that employers in the USA still have to match up to the federal minimum wage if tips dont add up to the federal minimum wage

‘if you dont tip they dont make minimum wage!’ is effectively bullshit

i refuse to pay more than it said on the bill

i do not order or buy from places that dont include taxes in the price tag and report them whenever i come across them, i refuse to order from places that dont include the deposit on cans and bottles in the price tag, and i refuse to to tip people for just doing their job

ill tip if i messed something up, but i dont see any reason why i should pay someone extra for doing what their job requires them to do, especially since theyre at worst making the same minimum wage i am
