I don’t think we played the game because Anthem was boring. I enjoyed being Iron Man but after an hour. But after that, it was kinda same ol’ for the next few hours.

I had more fun with Suicide Squad, because the city was awesome and the story was at least passable.

I did like the first hour - no question. But I think Anthem needed to cook some more. A lot more.

Agreed!

NMS kept listening to feedback for years before it turned around, slowly building up good faith with each free release.

But let’s say Anthem Next magically turned it around. All that good faith will be gone when EA will try to shoehorn more looter shooter microtransaction BS and fuck everything up over and over again.

Avery seems like the type of person who complains about libraries existing and feeding the homeless?

Fun thing is that American citizens are arming themselves. The news isn’t reporting it. But the numbers of lgbtqia who are arming themselves was rising significantly earlier in the year. More and more blue states are openly sharing where the left-leaning ranges are.

But in the past few weeks, at my local club, we’re seeing record numbers. With what just happened, it’ll go even more bonkers in attendance.

So, sure - unarmed.

Ah my fault. I copied it from social media and then didn’t verify.

Also all these microplastics is why I think in word salad now. Apologies.

There are only about a few thousand ICE agents. Every No Kings protest is hundreds of thousands of people, furious at illegal ICE bullying and ICE executing people in the street. Millions more not attending those events because they don’t feel safe.

Not to mention the millions of Americans who are PoC, lgbtqia, vets who are feeling like the walls are closing, because some shit bags in Washington are too afraid to release the Epstein files to arrest their pedo leader.

They’re pushing the majority in the corner and at some point, things will pop.

Yep! My windows 10 is not hooked up to a real Microsoft account. It tries to force me to create an account every few months, which I laugh at.

I made the mistake a few years ago on my win 10 gaming tower and creating an account to play Xbox live, and suddenly, I was getting that garbage one drive shit.

Dropbox has a policy about two years ago that all of your data will be shared with AI, no opt-outs.

I immediately cancelled my plan and dropped to the free service, which I use to backup photos of my poop.

I’m actually 3.5 middle schoolers in a trenchcoat.

Because it’s easier for these psychopaths to believe that there’s a cage of children in some random pizza restaurant basement rather than believe a billionaire has a group of children in their mcmansions.

Asbestos. Lead. Microplastics.

They’re not to blame directly, but they’re letting their shit thoughts run wild.

Oh my.

Would be cool if they were trained in de-escalation.

It’s the whole point of the Defund The Police movement, as every time a cop showed up, they only amplified the violence and threat.

Someone off their meds, get the cops called, and now you have a dead person.

Ah to be a bootlicker.

Phase 1: “They have a criminal history/illegal.”

Phase 2: “They threatened our boys in blue!”

Phase 3: “They should have complied.”

Phase 4: “Well they shouldn’t have been there.”

Phase 5: (leopard ate their face)

I was contributing to SO in 2014-2017 when my job wanted our engineers to be more “visible” online.

I was in the top 3% and it made me realize how incredibly small the community was. I was probably answering like 5 questions a week. It wasn’t hard. For some perspective, I’m making like 4-5 posts on Lemmy A DAY.

What made me really pissed was how often a new person would give a really good answer, then some top 1% chucklefuck would literally take that answer, rewrite it, and then have it appear as the top answer. And that happened to me constantly. But again, I didn’t care since I’m just doing this to show my company I’m a “good lil engineer”.

I stopped participating because of how they treated new users. And around 2020(?), SO made a pledge to be not so douchy and actually allow new users to ask questions. But that 1% chucklefuck crew was still allowed to wave their dicks around and stomp on people’s answers. So yeah, less “Duplicate questions”, more “This has been answered already [link to their own answer that they stole]”.

So they removed the toxic attitude with asking questions, but not the toxicity when answering. SO still had the most sweaty people control responses, including editing/deleting them. And you can’t grow a community like that.

My American healthcare:

• Its so much more expensive under Trump. It went from $250/month for my family, to now $1100/month.

• My kid hurt themselves and we were in the urgent care waiting area for 2 hours. Then a professional looked him over, said they’ll be fine, and gave us some expensive pain killer pills.

• I have to schedule my appointments 4-6 months in advance.

• I had to get a referral for some health services and after two weeks, they finally had a slot to actually start scheduling the appointment. Then they asked about my insurance and told me that they are out-of-network, and recommended another practice. I now have to wait another few more weeks, just to hopefully be seen.

I pay for insurance and then pay copay.

And then I pay a school tax and pay for school lunch and fees.

And my health insurance doesnt cover teeth so I have that as separate.

And I pay a tax on my food and then if it’s a specific type of food, I pay a tax on that.

I also pay taxes and yet my friends pay $2800 to put their kids in a day care.
