LTT is just an apology video channel now

Communism good, therefore China good, therefore West bad, therefore Israel bad, therefore dead Israelis good!

What a fucking worldview

Shawshank Redemption was a book. The Godfather was a book. Lord of the Rings, Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Goodfellas, Silence of the Lambs... That's just from the first 25 of IMDB'S top 250.

The Thing is a remake. The Fly was a remake. Scarface, The Departed, The Mummy... all remakes.

The problem isn't remakes or adaptations, the problem is they're shit remakes and adaptations. Nobody cares that The Batman was the 75th adaptation of Batman, because it was good.

Then they grow up and want to help others, but this time it's bad because socialism.

If you do it right, they grow up and still want to help others.

Feel such whiplash talking about solar with Australians and Americans.

Australians are like "yeah mate I put solar on and me bills are about $15 a month fucken sweet as"

Americans are like "I would love to get solar but what do you do when there is a cloud???"

True, but also funny coming from the publisher that has run multiple huge franchises into the ground

It's not even about graphics alone.

They're clearly building their games in an extremely inefficient way. Starfield does not have anything going on in it that other games with much lower requirements also have done.

You see evidence of this in their previous games. One of the major performance issues with Fallout 4 for example, was that instead of building their cities in performant ways, they literally plonked every building as an individual asset into the world which thrashed the CPU for no reason. Modders just had to merge them all into one model to significantly improve performance. Their games are full of things like this and Starfield will be no different.

Funnily enough he used to be pretty left.

It's like this right wing conspiracy pipeline is a honeypot for pond scum that reveals who they really are.

This is literally illegal in most developed countries. Only in the US and with Satan can you sign a contract that removes your rights under law.

Hey that's not fair, we also know about that time you were slaves

How's not being woke working out for the slowly imploding Russian military?

"Japanese game dev has been here"

"How can you tell?"

"30fps cap"

"Is Bethesda a Japanese word?"

If streaming is the future of gaming I think I'll just stop gaming.

It was to put them in the constitution as the original inhabitants of Australia and give them the right to a mostly powerless advisory body to the Commonwealth government called "the Voice".

It was a pretty conservative idea but unfortunately the conservative opposition leader is the arch-racist piece of shit who will never win a real election, but in his desperation to make a name for himself he campaigned against the referendum, and referendums traditionally only succeed with bipartisan support. So now all that's really been accomplished is to disenfranchise our indigenous population even more.

Yeah there really needs to be a rethink of how the Fediverse works.

I don't want to have to subscribe to 8 different "Games" subs each with under 3000 users.

It really should be like "topics" more than "sublemmys" (or whatever) where every post on the Fediverse tagged "games" will appear on your feed when you subscribe to the topic.

The topics still get moderated by the local instance topic moderators and instances can defederate from troubled instances, but discoverability would improve exponentially.

Anyone who thinks China will be pleased for a more chaotic global situation doesn't really understand the Chinese strategic situation.

China borders 14 countries. Four of those states are nuclear-armed: India, North Korea, Pakistan and Russia. Of those four, only Russia and North Korea are its allies (but it remains to be seen how loyal they are, considering their subordinate status.) Three of the four, Pakistan, Russia and North Korea are one crisis away from total collapse, a nuclear nightmare scenario for China.

China shares a border with Afghanistan and Pakistan, both hotbeds for extremist activity and both teetering on the edge of chaos themselves. Further chaos in the Middle East makes this situation less predictable for China.

Russia's war in Ukraine has turned Kazakhstan and many other Central Asian powers towards the West just as China was making big inroads into those countries.

China needs the West to be stable because China does not have the consumer base to sustain its own economy, and finding new markets has been borderline impossible.

If you want to know who is responsible for the chaos, look to who it benefits: Vladimir Putin, who is losing his disastrous war in Ukraine and desperately needs the West to reduce its support; Iran who are facing unprecedented social unrest with no sign of abatement; and Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been stoking the flames of this conflagration with the desperation of a man whose only path away from prison and disgrace is a "justified" war that might get his next election over the line.

These drones are the best representation of Australia bar none.

Bastardised Nordic ideas filtered through a lens of redneck ingenuity and aggression that somehow, defying all reason, is very effective.

Is it contractually obligatory for UE5 devs to blame the people buying their product for the shit performance?

The best idea I heard about continuing the Indiana Jones franchise is Short Round (played by Academy Award Winner Ke Huy Quan) stealing artifacts from Western museums to return them to their rightful people.
