The interview where he was spouted this nonsense and the “interviewer” just sat there nodding in agreement reminded me of India’s news media of today. Billionaires have an unopposed and total control of TV news channels and newspapers which then do uncritical PR for their favoured political party of their patrons (mostly BJP) and most of the “news” has devolved into an electoral circus where the “news” is concerned with what this and that politician said about an event rather then the event itself.

As a USian, this sounds very familiar

Yeah, but if you make homebrew they don’t like, they’ll send the Pinkertons after you.

(I know that was about an MTG set. I’m just making a joke about how little faith I have in WOTC.)

Final Fantasy 7 is a game about how capitalism and industrialization is killing the planet and it features a heavily industrialized city, called Midgar, where the wealthy live in the sunshine on a plate that is elevated above the heavily polutted slums, where everyone else lives without ever seeing the sun.

The painting is quite reminiscent of the asthetics of Midgar.

Mine was a minotaur gladiator turned monster hunter (ua fighter subclass). His name was Daniel Notmonster and he’d been called monster so much during his days in the arena that he internalized a hatred of monstrosities. He was driven to prove he wasn’t a monster by killing any he came across. He would also collect a bone from each monstrosity killed to scrimshaw a scene of the battle to kill it.

I don’t think I could adjust to inverted yaw for piloting, that’s interesting.

I’m just happy there’re options.

Not for me, it’s only on controllers.

To clarify I mean inverting the y axis

At least I know I followed the prompt correctly

To clarify I mean inverted y axis. It may just be that I started gaming with flight sims, but I see it less as tilting up and down and more like tilting forward and back. If you had a joystick on the top of your head and tilted it forward your head would start looking down. Likewise if you tilted it back your head would look up.

I should have been more clear, I meant inverted y

Inverted controls are just better.

Yeah, I’ve had the opposite experience in my 20+ years of customer service work. Most of the times I’ve been screamed at by an entitled customer, they’ve been upper-middle class.

Greetings, I’m your opposite. I can handle bitter cold just fine, but I melt at 60F.

this war

You mean “this genocide”. They don’t see civilians, they see targets for extermination.

Oh, Hamas is airstriking hospitals and refugee camps too? No? They’re not? Only Israel is doing that?

Why wouldn’t this genocide be blamed on the ones committing it? Use your head.

Oh yeah, it’s super easy to get a job that pays enough to afford rent and food when you don’t already have a permanent address. /s

Not only profitable but helpful to the environment. Convert that floating mass of garbage in the Pacific and you’re set for life.

This is why I run Paranoia. There’s no danger of anything going according plan in that game. Things will go wrong and they will go wrong catastrophically.
