  • I think I’ve seen you pop up a couple of times saying “The Democratic Party also murdered more Palestinians than the Republican Party”. What do you mean by that and what are the sources?

    I didn’t think the US was really all that directly involved in the Palestinian conflict, but more tacitly responsible for arming Israel and not trying to rein them in.

    Additionally, if you’re talking about Biden vs Trump admins as your timeline for dem/repub, that’s really just different phases of the conflict rather than one admin doing anything more/less. If anything, the real relief that Palestine has gotten is Israel dragging the US into war with Iran. Can’t really expend resources on Palestine when fighting a country that’s equally capable.



  • Honestly, I think it’s really the rate in which big games are being released tied up with console exclusives that has people upset.

    If I’m going to just play indie games there isn’t much reason to use a PS5 for that (or maybe that’s not the type of games most people care about).

    I know in my household we talked about getting a PS5, but the only game that’s out that I slightly care about is Wolverine. Not only did it just get okay reviews, but it’s not worth $700+ to play a single game.

    God of War or Ghosts of Tushima might have been tempting, but they’re now on PC, where I won’t have to worry a out backwards compatability in the future.












  • Yeah, I was going to say something similar. What job you take, where you decide to live, friends you make all have a risk/reward element to them.

    That being said I do believe there is a big difference between polymarket/prediction markets and stocks (or at least some stocks). Prediction markets is either betting on pure chance or against insider knowledge. Technically stocks should be seen as investing in a company (especially ones that pay dividends). Could a company run into hard times and lose you money, sure, but there is at least a bit more freely available information on that available to you.







  • Not the person you responded to, but I’ve liked Tainted Grail a lot.

    It feels more like what skyrim should be in that the RPG elements are more integrated with the gameplay while still keeping the action moving.

    Some general thoughts:

    • I like the writing, it’s nice to have a different world/setting.
    • the combat is okay, but at least requires a bit of skill/strategy.
    • I like the more limited item set with a focus on upgrading/modifying weapons rather than just finding good gear.
    • The fact attributes actually matter in quests/dialog is nice to see and done decently well.
    • Crafting actually feels somewhat rewarding and useful.
