Wenn ich nicht bei Fascho-Unterstützern kaufen möchte, ist das natürlich so als würde ich Menschen basierend auf ihrer Religion ausgrenzen.

Teil des Faschismus ist es eben, seine Opfer gleichzeitig als schwach und mächtig darzustellen.

Aber wehe, man drängt ihn basierend auf Handlungen und Aussagen in irgendeine rechte Ecke.

But even that is like 10% of the actual content of Raccoon City. Most of it is just a random part of the city that has no connection to the old games or a generic laboratory.

All of the pandering is the RE2R stuff that’s barely in there.

Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same.

Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush.

my toxic trait is that I absolutely judge other people's game 3x3/top 25s etc and while I keep most of those thoughts to myself, I will say the fact some of you put gacha games on yours without fear of public shaming is a massive failing of our culture

Depends on which characters you choose, but yeah. If you need to finish the manuscript for instance and waste the soda on anything but the carnivorous plant, you can no longer finish the game.

Kayinworks - Returning to Goldeneye and Perfect Dark I love hating on Rare. I love hating on pre-2000s UK games. I love hating on basically every euro-whatever genre you can think of. Half of this is joking. It was a very different gaming culture over t...

It's like saying Outer Wilds is a 20 minute game.

HLTB is a useful tool, unless when you look up information about classic games that aren't just simple platformers or rpgs.

"This shmup took me 40min to beat with unlimited credits" should instantly ban you from ever looking at that website again

This is so fucking stupid, if you ever actually played Maniac Mansion without a guide.

Yeah, I need to watch this in parts. While it also helps that it resonates with me, it's the same reason it's also hard to watch.

Exakt das. Dieses System schützt solche Leute und gibt ihnen innerhalb bestehender Machtstrukturen auch noch die leichte Oberhand, sobald man selbst emotional reagiert.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

From: Date:

Reason for behaviour:

[ ] The media convinced me that feminism was solved in the 1980s
[ ] I never actually read their work
[ ] I miss not thinking about gender
[ ] I didn’t realize how much of society is built on gender
[ ] I was jealous of their nonbinary swag
[ ] Mercury was in retrograde

[ ] I will hereby respect JUDITH BUTLER and I will not talk down on the best feminist thinker of our lifetimes

Auch der Privatweg gehört abgeschafft. Es kann nicht sein, dass wir wegen Ehrverletzung Tausende Euro und Zeit verschwenden müssen, obwohl dieses Konzept in einer modernen Gesellschaft nichts zu suchen hat.

Ausführung dazu in meinen Replies.

Schon, aber hier geht es vor allem um Einschüchterung unter Nutzung dieser Paragraphen. Das erzeugt ja trotzdem erst einmal Stress, Zeit und Kosten für die Person.

Zumal es meine Ausführung nicht weniger relevant macht.

Wer gegen Hass im Internet vorgehen will, muss für Regulationen auf den Plattformen kämpfen und diese dafür verantwortlichen machen. Nicht die Einzelpersonen. Zumal wir weltweit vernetzt sind und solche lokalen Gesetze da nichts bringen.

Oder wie sieht es auf Nazi-Twitter momentan aus?

Bist du marginalisiert, kann man dich problemlos beleidigen, ohne dass dies strafrechtlich relevant ist. Merz hat es mehrfach vor dem gesamten Volk getan.

Deswegen kann ich auch leider Organisationen mit Hateaid nicht unterstützen, da sie an diesem System festhalten und es legitimieren.

Man darf so rassistisch, sexistisch und queerfeindlich sein, wie man möchte, solange man nur bestimmte Wörter nicht gegen einzelne Personen verwendet.

Sobald sich die Betroffenen aber verbal wehren und zum Beispiel rassistische Politiker einen Bastard nennen, wird die Staatsanwaltschaft beauftragt.
