  • I have always been of the opinion that Sonic and All Star Racing Transformed was the far better Kart racer compared to MK8. (Though the name is admittedly a mouthful)

    I haven't put much time into playing Team Sonic racing, so I can't evaluate how it stacks up. I just vaguely know that the community reception felt that it leaned too hard into into the team racing gimmick and the game suffered for it.

    If Cross Worlds gives me more of the game feel and mechanics that SaASRT nailed with a modern coat of paint and polish, then I'm 100% here for it.

  • The funny thing is we have safe consumption sites for drug use all over the country. They're called bars.

    And I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of people that are pearl clutching about safe injection sites would cry body murder if the same standard was applied to their socially accepted, well regulated and protected drug use.

  • Also like other people have said it's kinda nonsense to fear monger about death panels when that concept is real, but it's private insurance providers denying claims.

    That's always been the reason why there was fear mongering over death panels to begin with. "Every accusation is a confession" is true because attacking your opposition for the thing you're already doing is an effective propaganda tactic for mudding the water.

  • I wonder what part of their focus groups decided that the Dems should try to be more belligerent than Trump.

    It's just an "appeal to hypocrisy." Libs love eating up the whole "GOP postures as tough but won't escalate militarily against ________" act.

  • The only thing that the rich are "categorically good" at is performing the behaviors that the market encourages, specifically with relation to managing capital and using ownership of capital to exert authority over labor. And the behaviors that the market encourages are near universally corrosive to humanity.

    In terms of any actual life skill or proficiency, I'd take an average poor person over a rich person any day.

    Why Thom Yorke loves Israel

  • Criticism came from ... parts of the left ... given the lack of visible Palestinian representation on the DNC stage—something entirely outside my control.

    This is a wild way to defend yourself, because no one is asking you to exert magical control over reality. But you certainly should have control over the positions you support and the people you're defending.

  • Greatest *publicly recognized atrocity known to man.

    The crimes of colonialism are just as brutal and have endured over a far greater period of time. The only difference is that the perpetrators of these crimes are on the "winning" side of their conflicts and plans of domination and therefore still have influence over the narrative with regards to how that history is remembered.

    The only difference between people like Hitler and Andrew Jackson is that Andrew Jackson is still memorialized and printed on US currency.

    Conspiracy Theory Brain

    In the past few days, I feel like I've seen a significant uptick in CEO sympathy comments, comments expressing righteous indignation about how anyone could possibly be celebrating the murder of an innocent widdle guy, etc.

    Especially so in the comment sections of official news media posts.

    My conspiracy brain take is some billionaire got upset that there was a little too much class solidarity and anti-CEO sentiment going around, and started writing checks to paid troll farms to try and get some control back over the narrative.

    The revolution, but in Minecraft

    Why don't more video games feature revolution?

    Someone was asking about games that feature revolution in another group, and I realized that it's hard to think of that many games with a revolution in them, or feature revolution as central to the plot.

    Which seems weird to me, because while I was thinking of games to answer that question, I realized that a revolution is basically the perfect setting for a video game. Basically every video game starts you off as weak and hopeless, and as you progress you get more powerful, gain more allies, collect more resources, and so on until you are an unstoppable force. A revolution is the perfect narrative backdrop for this traditional system of progression.

    Yet I can think of so few games that feature a revolution. Skyrim might count. XCOM 2 kinda fits the bill. Maybe there's some deep trove of hidden rpgs that I've never played that fall into this category, but everything I can think of falls more into the trope of fantasy magic evil thing tha
