What, are you gonna be on the front lines with your guns shooting? The overwhelming majority of people with this mindset have never held a firearm in their entire lives and have no idea what they’re even talking about. What are you even insinuating here? Is your end goal that we burn the entire country down because “wahhhhh both sides aren’t perfect”? Grow up, only children refuse to see greater good through compromise because they can’t see past not getting what they want. Single issue voters love to stick their head in the sand and pretend the one issue that they’re whinging about is the most important in the world.

Have fun standing on your “genocide” comment when you’re in a fascist dictatorship run by nazis. “but but but the genocide wah”

Trigger haptics can work on PC but it is game by game/implementation by implementation. Returnal works when connected via USB but not wirelessly (unless you enable Steam Input for DualSense, but that completely removes haptic trigger capabilities, turns the touchpad into buttons, and switches to Xbox button glyphs), but Ratchet & Clank works wired or wirelessly (without Steam Input enabled for DualSense). The DualSense support on PC is kind of hit or miss, I wish they’d just standardize a library that offers the base features wirelessly – the controller is really nice.

“The next election will be bloodless if the left lets it be” has been their rhetoric now for months, this is precisely why. Totally OK for them to illegally steal the election, but any attempt to stop them is viewed as some kind of incitement of war. Fuck these fascist pieces of shit. I really hope that there’s enough scrutiny and publicity given to their election stealing plans to prevent them.

User reviews are suspect.

This is one of the reasons I’m glad that Steam started cracking down on reviews that were just some stupid ASCII art and reviews that were just one big joke – neither of them help people understand whether a game is good and there’s just so much of that trash in the reviews. It’s a small change but so far it’s been positive.

I absolutely read it, I was replying to the comment that “every state needs to help make Harris a clear winner” by pointing out that the Republicans literally already made it impossible to make Harris a clear winner in GA.

But ok, tell me more about what I did and didn’t read.

Like GA, a battleground state, where they just made it legal for the elections board (3 Republicans and 2 Democrats) to refuse to certify the election results for absolutely no reason, indefinitely, without any burden of proof? Even if 100% of people in GA voted for Harris, they’d find some bullshit reason to refuse to certify the state’s results. Kemp is too much of a fickle piece of shit to stand up against it, so we’ve already lost the state in November.

Why do you think they keep saying “the transfer of power will be bloodless if the left lets it be”?

They’re not even hiding it.

Everything that’s been tried up to the extreme has had no effect, so, it’s time to escalate. You can’t beat cheaters and liars and thieves and murderers by playing by the rules and being nice and polite. If the Democrats don’t do something, democracy is gone in November and it won’t be coming back to the USA.

On top of that, one of the biggest problems with climate change is that us as individual citizens have absolutely no control over it no matter how many people try and guilt us into taking action.

No amount of individuals recycling, driving less or with a more efficient vehicle or with an electric car, or drinking less water is going to change the fact that container ships, factories, manufacturing facilities, cruise ships, private jets, etc. belch more pollutants into the atmosphere by so many orders of magnitude that anything we can do as individuals is completely and utterly inconsequential in comparison.

Me recycling my plastic doesn’t mean shit and it never will. Same with me driving an electric car vs. a gas powered car, hell even me driving a car with good fuel economy vs one that has bad fuel economy. Cargo shipping is responsible for more than 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the world while passenger automobiles are responsible for 5%-7% at most based on recent estimates. If every single person in the world stopped driving fossil-fuel powered cars and moved entirely to renewable fuel sources for their transportation, it would still be a drop in the bucket – and that’s never going to happen.

But the media keeps pointing the shotgun at everyday citizens like it’s our fault that cruise ships belch shit into the atmosphere when we haven’t been on a cruise in 10 years, or it’s our fault that the shipping industry refuses to use more ecological and eco-friendly fuel sources.

Tell me more about how me as a single person recycling is gonna save the world, lol.

I mean, let’s be real – 50% of the USA’s SSN is on a dark web site due to the Equifax breach.

Freeze your credit, it’s the only way to protect yourself. All of the ID protection services are just overpriced insurance and don’t actually prevent ID theft.

I think it’s stupid as hell for Square to have not released this on PC at the same time as they did on PS5, locking to a single console is a poor choice especially when that console is as expensive as the PS5 is and has as few exclusives as the PS5 does.

With that in mind though, “a single game” is somewhat of a misnomer. The original FF7 took about 40 hours to play from start to finish, and about 80 hours if you wanted to really 100% everything. FF7 Remake took about 40 hours to play from start to finish, and about 80 hours if you want to really 100% everything.

Is the root of your concern that you’re paying too much for too little gameplay? Considering rebirth takes about 50-60 hours to beat and ~80-100 hours to 100%, I don’t understand the criticism.

If the answer is that you expected over 100 hours of base gameplay for $70, the problem isn’t with Square-Enix, imo. That’s before taking however long the 3rd game takes to beat into account, as well (which according to the devs is going to be at minimum the same length as rebirth – bringing it to over 150 hours of base gameplay for the trilogy.) I think expecting 150 hours of base gameplay in a single purchase for a story-driven JRPG is unrealistic. The only JRPGs that come close would be Disgaea and Persona 5 Royal, and I’d argue that the production costs on both of those are significantly lower because of their art style and the way that story is presented in both.

That said, on flip side, the joy of these games eventually coming out on PC means if you wait long enough, you’ll be able to get all 3 and DLC for like $50 total, so there are options for everyone.
