Hmm. While I can see that and appreciate the inclusiveness of it, it still feels like the wrong choice to me. Maybe times are changing (obviously) and I need to get used to emojis being used in a more serious tone? But I don’t know… Are we there yet?

Holy shit I hadn’t clicked yet and hoped you were joking. I’m sure they mean well but I find that really disturbing, what a weird use of emoji…

Damn, yeah hard to give any benefit of the doubt when it’s so opaque like you say. Very concerning

Not arguing, just want to be able to quote this confidently - can you link a source for this?

I can find some info about Australian-made aviation parts going to other countries as per existing agreements, who use them in aircraft that are then supplied to Israel. Which is absolutely still shit, but I can’t find anything about direct weapon sales to / from Israel

When this is your reaction to being asked for a source, people will immediately conclude that your claims are 100% made up

The suspense is killing me…

YES It was a Dodge Viper game, as in that was the only car available I think. And there was a button to either crush the car more or maybe launch it into the air? I’m pretty sure that’s how I managed to crumple it into a ball with wheels just like you. 15 to 20 years ago sounds right

So, ethnic cleansing then

Read again. “at this point” clearly shows they are not saying “the Jews were the real Nazis”. You made that up to argue against it, real classy

Ooh enjoy! Outer Wilds is one of my favourite things, ever.

Counter-point to ConstableJelly (they’re not wrong, play however you enjoy, this is just my opinion) - DO avoid guides even when stuck.

The whole game is about figuring things out, looking at the info you have from different angles, or heading out in brand new directions to see if any new discoveries will tie in with where you’re stuck. Looking something up will rob you of that discovery and maybe other ones that tie in to it.

There’s a great subreddit for the game that is set up with very specific rules to avoid spoilers. You can ask questions there, and people will expertly nudge you in the right direction based on what you’ve already discovered and figured out. There are communities here also but I don’t think they’re set up in quite the same way yet (especially as spoiler tags are not reliable in Lemmy yet across different apps etc)

You can definitely do it without resorting to any of the above, but if you get so stuck you’re going to drop the game, I’d say ask in that subreddit. Or, feel free to DM me! I’ll help you without ruining anything as best as I can.

Firstly, being on the autism spectrum (not saying he is or isn’t) doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole, and I’m sure many people who are on it and aren’t assholes will tell you that this take is insulting.

Secondly, when you say there is nothing major on there, you have to keep in mind his level of reach and influence. If your neighbour says “this new Covid thing is going to just blow over, there’ll be no cases soon’”, you can say “OK buddy, hope you’re right but it’s not looking likely”. When Musk says it, he directly contributes massively to the misinformation that has killed a lot of people and changed the whole damn world for the worse

I remember loving it.

• would leave the main menu up for the music

• I know gameplay > graphics, but I’ve always loved technically impressive visuals so that side of it probably made my impressions of it a lot better

• I really liked the gameplay scenarios created by having to put my torch away to shoot, and how the darkness would be lit up by fireballs hurtling towards me, so I really didn’t give a shit that the doom guy not holding a gun and a torch at the same time was ‘stupid’

• I was relatively new to PC gaming so didn’t have any impressions from earlier doom games apart from short goes on a friend’s computer; they seemed cool, that’s all I knew
