Technology@lemmy.world•Gaming PC deflects bullet shot through wall by neighbour, saving owner's life — criminal negligence charges for culprit who claims 'firearm was accidentally discharged by her dog'English
2·3 days agoHow many people do you think are being shot at through walls? It’s always crazy to get insight on the stuff people think up. This stuff is pretty rare and over published.
Like I get that when shootings occur they are violent and we could take steps to reduce them (but we won’t)… But it’s not like even hearing gunfire in urban or suburban areas is common.
Unless you live in a very specific area, eg poor as fuck city neighborhoods fun violence isn’t something you’ll run into in your entire life.
Again, not saying we can’t do better, but I never get going to full on, why not armor houses scenarios.
Giving low income men opportunities and community and depression education will save more lives 🤷♂️

Technology@lemmy.world•Xbox Game Pass Lost "Millions Of Subscribers" After Last Year's 50% Price HikeEnglish
3·4 days agoBecause most Lemmy users react based on how they feel about an idea and how it should work. It doesn’t matter if you’re describing reality. If it sounds like something they don’t like they get riled up despite the reality.

You nerds were so preoccupied with screeching at Microsoft you all mostly missed 2-3 years worth of games for pennies on the dollar.
For years you could buy up to 3 years of game pass ultimate for about $2 a month and I got literally over 3k worth of games at launch for basically free/pennies. You’d have to be a moron to not jump on it.
Of course the count was going to go down. That was the strategy. It was never sustainable.
Remember, if you copy and paste from stack, you’re a bad developer.
Too many developers think they code better than they do.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The gaming industry didn't remove cheat codes because they broke game balance, they removed them so they could sell those exact same advantages back to us as microtransactions.
15·6 days agoDidn’t think you’d get torn apart on this one, did ya. I’ve found most games these days do MTX pretty fairly. Even f2p typically at worst will be xp bumps in leveling.
I don’t carry my id and digital state ID s are out either way.

14·9 days agoThese are probably garbage, but some people have money and understand that a good set of speakers is more important than the latest GPU for immersion 🤷♂️

That is the comment I was addressing. It was the person’s fault. It was negligence and illegal. Words have meaning.
If you’re afraid of shooting yourself that’s all entirely tangential direction you went.

1·13 days agoNo. You’re conflating with non accidental discharge. The odds of you getting shot, accidentally are near nil.
How many steam games do you own?

1·15 days agoHey you do you and we all feel how we feel. But are you that afraid of lightning? Because we’re talking the same percentages.or kids drowning in a pool.
Gun violence sucks and it’s dumb that we can’t have any sort of middle ground on the conversation, but getting accidentally shot is so far down on that list of things that will kill you.
