Maybe that practice rooted in a dad ceremoniously giving their daughter to someone else is kind of fucking weird and unnecessary.

For others, since I was curious. No clue how accurate any of this is, but recent sources:

What a stupid question. Like asking a job applicant if they’re ready for the job they chose to interview for. Who the fuck is going to say no?
Good questions should pull useful information out. Somebody oughta throw a raw hot dog at the interviewer.

HD collection release: “ermahgerd garbage, go play subsistence.”
Master collection release: “ermahgerd garbage, go play HD.”
Delta release: “ermahgerd garbage, go play master collection.”
To be fair, the first one I’m assuming. But the HD and Master Collection bitching I personally watched go down. Gamers are never happy and it’s always sliding. Delta will be seen as wonderful by the time the next whatever is released.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Games@sh.itjust.works•Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is an embarrassment for an 80-euro gameEnglish5·8 days agoI have played every release of this game out there. I even played it on Vita. I played the original around when it released.
I even saw the Master Collection issues and dealt with that.
This is a pretty damn good release. I’m having a lot of fun. I mean I pre-ordered the game at a discount too like you can for a lot of games though. For what it is, they did a pretty fucking good job and I’ve been having a blast. I also don’t preorder much ever cause most initial releases for lots of games are horrible.
There are some downsides, but they’re more just getting over aesthetic choices and some control clunkyness due to it being so different than before. It’s nothing dealbreaking, and it’s not an embarrassment. As a massive fan of the series, I will note there are insane nuances that were kept intact that blow me away. Especially character behaviors and cutscenes are incredible to see like this as compared to the originals.
They also said they HAD to improve this release over the buggy release the Master Collection was. They did that. Its been mostly pretty smooth. Minor tinkering to get the graphics dialed in on Linux with proton GE, but aside from that. It’s been great.
I wish they’d not used UE5, but it is what it is and they did decent with it. The Master Collection support we saw also suggests this will only improve with support.

Lack of knowledge is literally more dangerous. Its why fascists and the ruling class don’t want people largely educated.
Once again conflating this with how social one is.
Some introverts can be super social. But they recover from it very differently.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Games@lemmy.world•At Gamescom, it felt like the industry now has a plan: make games quicker | OpinionEnglish3·14 days agoI read this as shortening development time (“quicker”), not necessarily reducing the sheer amount of slop they pile in and call “content.”
This is absolutely c-suites pushing for constant development to be a smoother, faster repetition; lots of DLC, or SaaS.

We’re they smarter when they thought recessions would never happen again and led to the great recession? Or the fucktards supporting Reagan? Or trashing on Vietnam vets as they returned?

I could keep going back. We’ve always had stupid and evil.
callouscomic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•At what (child's) age should parents let go?5·18 days agoI’m supporting my kids financially … I get a say in the way they conduct themselves…
Okay, so this is an employment situation then. Youre treating them like “you act certain ways/do certain things because I give you money.”
That’s an employer, not a parent.

Then gasping when the child tells you to drop fucking dead and goes no contact and moves 3k miles away.
Note: this was all mostly unrelated to the comment aside from what you wrote triggered these thoughts.

I bought one of those physical Steam Links nobody cared about. They didn’t do well and Valve ended it fairly quickly. 10 years later it still gets occasional updates from them and benefits from broader Steam Big Picture updates.
Steam Deck has been a huge success. Of course they’ll continue to support it.
Well, thats a choice for sure. I’ve never taken my phone to a bathroom. Thats disgusting. Its also still entirely possible to stare out the windows on a trip and enjoy the scenery. Lots of us do it.
From when? It’s kind of rewriting history when people pretend they did nothing before modern tech.
People had plenty else to do. It was just different.
Hard to choose, but I find Old Gold and most of 36 Crazyfists super underrated. Especially the end of the bridge and into the final chorus of Old Gold is one of my fav moments in any metal song.
The singers got a new band Paradise Slaves.
