I’m imagining this in the ProZD hydro homies voice about before and after you discover an online community for a hobby.

Air bending weak? Bro it’s the one bending style that doesn’t have an ingrained weakness.
No water? Fucked.
No Earth? Fucked.
Too cold/eclipse? Fucked.
No air? Well you’re already fucked for different reasons, so unless they develop space travel air benders will never lose their element.
- Comment on George Carlin - The American Dream | As accurate in 2023 as it was in 2008 11 months ago:
The point that he’s trying to make is that just throwing more money at a problem doesn’t work, mostly because schools get their funding based on performance so it’s in the school’s best interest to pass as many failures as possible to look good and get money.
Plus where’s all that extra cash gonna go? The administrator that makes 200k a year? Probably not to the teachers that make 35k a year and have to purchase supplies for their own classrooms.
“Just fund education” is a populist talking point that relies on the goodwill of those in charge of that extra money. Unless you fix that problem the system won’t turn out higher educated individuals.

Not liking the art style makes sense, it’s the same “kidney bean for a head” style that’s been taught at all animation schools for the last half decade now and it’s so overused that it just looks bad.
It’s the Rick and Morty style, essentially. Everyone’s copied it now.
- Comment on December Mid-Season Update Launch | Halo Infinite 11 months ago:
It’s gotten back up in numbers after the update. Custom games and forge are a thing now, as well as a decent playlist of game types that matches the Halo we used to know.

Ctrl-Shift-Esc for the win, love that shortcut. Right up there with Alt-Tab and Windows/Cmd-X

- Comment on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf - Official 'Thedas Calls' Teaser Trailer 11 months ago:
Bioware really loves giving zero information for years and the pretending their trailers are of any value at all.
Mass Effect hasn’t had content since 2017 and we have like two minutes worth of “show nothing, hit nostalgia button” trailers since then. DA looks to be in a similar spot.
Is it an EA problem? A Bioware problem? Who knows lol just can’t wait to finally see the franchise I love most shit the bed on launch. Again.
- Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles 11 months ago:
I didn’t say there was a rule for it.
Four years isn’t enough time for technology to develop and make a significantly more powerful console, that would be like buying a new 1100 dollar phone because they made the camera slightly better and the battery not as shit.
Consoles aren’t just PC’s, their physical architecture is completely different. Even if it was the same, I wouldn’t go out and build a completely new PC every four years because that would be a waste of money. I wouldn’t even notice a difference on most games.
- Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles 11 months ago:
4 years is the typical halfway upgrade, not a new gen. Gens are usually 7-8 years.

Funny, cause Michael Dorn and Mirina Sirtis were in Mass Effect. I guess Bioware knows their crowd.

Common mistake, you’re thinking of the goodwill he used to have with his audience that he shit in.

There’s no blue collar worker’s because it doesn’t pay enough.
-
Educated people can and should work in blue collar fields, but unfortunately our society bases everything on money, so leaving blue collar work for higher paying jobs is literally the dear and fluffy capitalism you love so much. Anyone with an education is going to seek the highest paying job possible and none of those are blue collar.
-
“working class” doesn’t mean field hands and electricians, it means everyone that isn’t a multi millionaire. I work in IT and am still working class, you work blue collar and are working class, the salesman that works for a bank is working class. Unless you’re the owner of a business entity and do not have to work to pay your bills, then you’re “working class.”
-
The conservative ideology has ground the middle class into non-existence through the deregulation of the market and the abysmal failure of trickle down economics. Compounded by the uselessness of the Democratic party (cause they’re all just old money career politicians too, what a surprise) not doing a damn thing when they’re in control of the legislative branch. Not because educated people made fun of yokels too much. You’re drawing conclusions out of your feelings, not reality.

- Comment on They forgot the LGBTQ... 11 months ago:
You’re asking a question meant to illustrate that I don’t know what I’m talking about because you didn’t understand my original comment or you are trying to discredit me because you believe I’m conservative. I’m not, I just think the meme itself is derivative and doesn’t understand the POV of conservatives. They aren’t convinced gay people have all the money, they just hate LGBT people in general because they’re bigots and believe the economy is shit for different reasons entirely.
Strawman arguments seem to be a commonality everywhere, it’s not really useful outside of circle jerking that you’re smart and no one else is.
- Comment on They forgot the LGBTQ... 11 months ago:
Sorry I’ll try to illustrate this better.
Liberal ----> Communist
As in, anything to the left of conservative which is the majority user base of the lemmy community. Yes I’m aware liberals are capitalists still, don’t try to play these stupid games you know what I meant.
- Comment on 'The Witcher 4 will channel the “freedom” of CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077' 11 months ago:
Bugs and performance aside it was still a mess with very little to make it an lifelike and interesting place. The combat was unbalanced as hell, with only a few things being viable and the most effective classes in combat could be multi-specc’d. Sure why not have a hacker that can slow mo and use melee while also being proficient with guns? No way that could break the game balance.
Literally just overhauling the police system doubled the interactivity of the game by allowing you to actually engage with the crime&justice system beyond getting instantly killed by MaxTac because they can spawn three stories up and four blocks from where you just killed someone with a silenced sniper rifle.
I’ve a day one buyer and I wouldn’t even consider the game worth full price until 2.0. I’d say it was maybe worth 30-40 with 1.6 because most of the egregious bugs had been removed.

OP probably isn’t even the source of the video. Assuming it’s theyr actual dog, how do you know they didn’t get the dog that way and are actually against eat cropping and tail docking?
You should give this video a watch, 17:35 specifically but the whole thing could be valuable to you.
- Comment on Whats your favorite Main Menu music? 11 months ago:
Syndicate was a really niche entry into the Cyberpunk genre that flopped commercially but had some interesting ideas about corp-ocracy and the way businesses of the future would wage warfare against each other like nations used to.
That main menu music has echoed in my brain for years. Deus Ex: Human Revolution would have been first but Syndicate is less well known and I figured someone already mentioned DE:HR at some point here.

- Comment on Star Citizen Just Had its Biggest Crowdfunding Day Ever With $3.5 Million in 24 Hours 11 months ago:
I’d rather them just update the MW3 zombies mode, I’m having a great time with it. It’s a really fun combination of DMZ style gameplay with the zombies from CW “Outbreak.” Hopefully they expand the types of missions and put special events into it.
- Comment on Star Citizen Just Had its Biggest Crowdfunding Day Ever With $3.5 Million in 24 Hours 11 months ago:
I’d argue DMZ was a better (or at least more casual) extraction shooter than Tarkov, I enjoyed it more than the cycle frontier at least.
