So you’re saying they designed it stupidly for no reason? Gosh.

I knew you’d retort with this exact example, because you’re predictable.

No, I actually don’t have the means to save everyone starving in Africa, or even a few. I don’t have supply chain access, influence over foreign governments, or anything to directly aid anyone internationally. So I can give to charities, and do, but government corruption in poor nations ensures that the reach of those donations is limited and the cycle of poverty is ever perpetuated in order to maintain their existing power dynamics.

I also fully support foreign aid and am happy to pay my taxes to contribute to that.

I also am not wealthy. I’m not poor, but I have a hard cap on how much I can give to others before I’m hurting myself and my dependents, and that amount is nothing more than enough to keep a few people limping along for a little longer.

A billion-dollar company can reduce the cost of their absurdly priced medicines that would save millions, and still make insane profits. They just might not maintain perpetual growth.

I believe if you have the means to save someone and willfully withhold it, you’re culpable for murder.

Pharmaceutical companies aren’t going bankrupt if they can’t charge thousands of dollars for a single dose. Common medications that are manufactured and sold in bulk subsidize the cost of medicines for rare conditions. They also enjoy patent benefits other industries don’t get specifically to recouperate R&D costs.

Governments also can and do negotiate for lower drug costs, which is why medication is cheaper in Canada than the US.

Oh, and don’t forget all the public funding pharmaceutical companies already get. Governments dumped tons of money into developing the covid vaccines and the companies made insane profits off of it.

If someone dies because the medicine needed to save them is “too expensive,” both the corporate executives who set the price and the government cheapskates who won’t adequately fund healthcare should be guilty of murder. Change my mind.

Coop is completely broken without this mod. A friend and I tried to play vanilla ER but 4/5 times the summon would fail, and 5/5 times I’d get invaded immediately.

Installed the mod and suddenly it all just worked.

First I’ve heard of it. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Even for personal use, I’ve tried various alternatives to Photoshop over the years like Gimp and Krita and they just can’t compete. Photoshop is just ridiculously powerful, so it sucks even more that the company that owns it is so shitty.

You can still save locally even if you’re using the Creative Cloud software. I stuck with CS6 for a long time because I hate software subscriptions, but eventually bit the bullet to get access to the new features and a UI that actually scales to my monitor. It’s been mostly fine, but I’d still prefer to just own the software I use.

You’re telling me Diablo 2 is real life?

The universe provides.

Did anyone else think the guy doing the voiceover sounded like Werner Herzog?

I really wish game and film companies would stop sharing trailers on xitter, and people should definitely find a different source before resharing it. We all need to quit driving traffic to Elon’s nazi bar.

I never get tired of seeing a tall ladder in Elden Ring with a note that says “snake, snake!” in front of it.

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on Wii is my favourite DBZ game of all time, so I hope this lives up to it. That game had a massive roster, with the ability to transform and fuse characters mid-match, so I hope that’s still a feature.

I’m just worried that they’ll chop up the characters and release them piecemeal as DLC. Seeing Gogeta and Broly as pre-order bonuses makes me think this’ll be the case, but they’re just “early-unlock” so maybe they’re in the game anyway but the pre-order just gives you access to them from the start.

This is really surprising. I figured this game was lost to time because of licensing issues after Vivendi was absorbed into Activision.

It looks like more than just a remaster is going on here. I’ve been replaying it recently and there are some things shown in this trailer that aren’t in the original game, unless they just scripted some scenes to look cool for the trailer that aren’t actually going to be in the game.

I just hope they rebalance the boss fights. Some of them are ridiculously difficult in the original, to the point where they almost ruin the game.

The only time I ever got screen burn was because of this wallpaper.

Anything by Tool carries really well if you need to battle noisy neighbours.

It’s a solution looking for a problem. As someone in the comments of the article pointed out, Microsoft spent a lot of money investing in OpenAI and now they’re desperately trying to find a way to justify it.

And welcome to the jams
