So every button is just a different prompt? Sounds silly.

OP has valid feelings here. They are noticing how our modern world is an intermediary in social relations. How removed we are from nature, and social connections. How social connections were key to survival. Etc.

This is all true even if they didn’t talk about the harsh realities of the time too. Or the moral character of various characters. Some of the responses here are missing OPs point. And seem to not be able to parse out the nuance and focus of their post.

I think it’s great that they can experience this game and take this away from it. This is what art is for. And this is part of why RDR2 is such a masterpiece. It’s not just a game of shooting people. It has depth and character and humanity too. This is why it stands tall among other shallow “shooters” or “open world games”.

If you look at what OP is saying and reflexively point out that you only see it as a murder simulator, then you are really missing out on the artistry and complexity of the game. They didn’t say it depicted a utopia. Just that it makes them see the alienation that modern society causes. Alienation from nature and each other.

I find that trackpad icky. I hate how PlayStation users have been forced to mash the mushy button that it is for the past 10 years.

It’s never lived up to the potential.

People like this author stress me out. But that’s a me thing. Nothing against them.

I’m willing to believe them, because if any of the security or safety issues are true, then they damn well better take careful action.

But if it turns out it was overstated. That sucks, and they deserve the flack.

Aww, they failed to clone the structure of Reddit.

Small teams and indies use things like photon to make multiplayer games.

Yeah. I have similar feelings. And I don’t think the social media fervor is helping things sometimes. There needs to be a certain level of precision in what is being asked for, and I see lots of broad statements about what laws should prevent from happening from random individuals. Using words like “kill switches” when required servers are taken offline. Or demanding every game have a direct networking mode or LAN options in addition to matchmaking or platform facilitated matchmaking.

It’s a BS.

Memory foam traps heat.

And is your blood sugar good?

It might not be either of these things, but they are worth crossing off the list of reasons. Along with what the other poster said about synthetic fabrics.

Wikipedia as a platform believes them too.

Archive dot is shouldn’t be used. The person who runs it is a nutter who attacks websites with it. They also modify archives.

lol, the UFO fringe seems to be what caused this to turn into a story. I like how it’s been sanitized for this post. It’s filtered through social media, then news nation, then Fox News. And now I’m surprised it’s on CNN and being posted in a science community.

The UFO community says one of them had a secret anonymous Twitter account that talked about UFOs. The account stopped posting when he disappeared. William Neil McCasland. They claim he would have been some sort of top dog/authority on the topic.

I wonder if it’ll continue to be covered. The UFO community is pulling in everything they can to link it to the story to make it bigger and more inclusive of more people and things. There are also MAGA republicans in the administration talking about it, and UFOs. It’s their pet topic. The UFOs sub on Reddit has little tolerance for anyone pointing out that they are interacting with the topic just to garner support and attention from a certain demographic of people.

That’s great. But I was just making a joke about the fact this is a screenshot that includes a mute icon.

Why is this picture muted? That’s not helping accessibility.

I hope so, that’s good to hear. Some people seem so pissed off when making such comments about “useless” studies. 😔

Not proven until now.

These “duh” comments are always here in these situations.

They finally fixed the spam problem.

Dramatically lower the cost, and then make it up in lifelong volume. It seems like a very simple thing.

The transition to USB-C has been pain. But I feel like we are past dongle town now.

Is not having an Ethernet jack really that bad? Is having an Ethernet adapter really that bad? Is Ethernet important enough to increase the thickness of laptops? Don’t people love docks anyway?

But yeah, the transition was rough. I’m glad they brought HDMI back. And that they have it on desktops too.
