"The pearl clutching about upscaling in console games is getting really stupid. You realize pretty much no PC player is gaming at native res right? Even people on 1080p displays are using DLSS/XeSS/FSR which means 900p or 720p.

No one gives a fuck. Why do you?"

Have the crazies blamed this on the Covid vaccine yet? Typically that’s what pops up on any unconventional death.

[benji]

Why is this concern trolling but not the "concern" that actors are being exploited? Especially when the latter is just really about them not wanting to see any sort of nudity as the very same members also get upset about any videogame nudity

Because that's a legitimate concern and not something to dismiss instead of getting outraged about.

Because people give a fuck. Why don't you? It's literally a thread about graphical performance. No one is attacking you.

If you want to pull the "this is a technical thread" card, then at least comment more than the resolution, lolol, and a gif.

I'm telling you to stop making drive by posts that drag down the quality of discussion in technical threads.

But there's a lot of smart and/or senior folks on here who may have lived through Nixon or read about him extensively. Share with me some experience and fully formed views on what kind of man he really was? Good YouTube recommendations going over him? Funny Nixon memes?

Nixon was a pretty ideal ResetERA.com member: paranoid, no principles, ends-justifies-the-means, racist, alcoholic, liar, poor grasp of the law, bitter that others don't recognize how great and smart he is, loyalty obsession, antenna for the culture war, etc.

The tweet from the OP:

Just submitted a tip to the FBI on regarding domestic terrorism. Mike Huckabee can fuck himself.

Wow he just comes right out and says the shit. It would be a shame were he to be in the custody of the FBI. Real shame.

I'm not even from the US, but done

This kind of rhetoric could be considered a criminal offense on my country and honestly I feel that I enjoy as many freedoms as any American.

ACAB, but also, send frivolous tips to the FBI about completely legal speech.

All republicans are.

Totally not what fascists say about their political opponents.

There probably will be mass violence when/if they lose 2024. Get ready for it.

We should also be wary of attacks on the power grid, given all the incidents where a few people shot up substations and knocked out power for tens of thousands for the better part of a week.

ResetERA.com does not allow members to post conspiracy theories, but repeating untrue stories as part of a conspiracy theory is completely fine.

So much of the shit show that is US politics is thanks to failed entertainers who are backed by soulless black-hearted billionaires who offer them money and a platform where Hollywood did not.

-Stephen Crowder - Failed stand-up comic who did a voice on PBS's Arthur
-Candace Owens - Former liberal who sued racists and had an actor's page on a recruiting website
-Ben Shapiro - Failed screenwriter who, despite having insane connections in Hollywood, was such a piss poor writer that no one would buy anything he made

And now Mike Huckabee who is now telling folks to shoot other people as part of his search for relevancy/late life crisis. Fuck these people.

Mike Huckabee was Governor of Arkansas from 1996-2007.

how is that kind of rhetoric any different from guillotining the rich

[benji]

Can somebody use one of the alts to ask them what exactly they think the FBI would do? Thordinson dismissed that they would do anything but I think he was going for a "because he's a white cishet male" angle with it which still leads me to think he thinks that FBI agents actually would do something about it.

I just need to know what they think FBI agents are actually going to do when they get the "tips" they're sending in.

edit: I don't mean in terms of how this is completely legal speech, I mean assume for a second that it's not. Like are we picturing an armed raid on Mike Huckabee's house or what? A long drawn out trial of a massive conspiracy that goes "all the way to the top"?

Wow! I can’t believe the game that’s just a Ubisoft open world, with wands and a mediocre attempt at Soulslike combat, didn’t have much of an impact (or staying power). And in a year packed with unique open worlds and complex role playing games, no less!

It’s almost like the only thing that was keeping it in the public eye was controversy, and the game itself was completely unremarkable.

I’m still waiting for it to go on sale at a steep, steep discount or to announce a quidditch dlc. But yeah it dropped off the face of the earth pretty quick once the outrage died out. At this point I have to wonder if the outrage wasn’t just a deliberate marketing tactic for an otherwise mediocre game.

Truly. It also doesn’t matter. HL already made bank and they apparently have a sequel planned. Unfortunately, the world picked nostalgia over supporting trans people. The only positive I can see of HL being outshone is that maybe this means people didn’t like it enough to buy the sequel and it can become a forgotten franchise.

Well, in HL you can choose voice and body type separately, and you can choose whether you identify as a witch or wizard separately from those.

The Benedikta backstory just further solidifies my opinion that she had incredible potential for a great story arc that was just completely wasted by the way she's handled in the main game.

While there is always the potential for a great story arc, she didn’t have the most unique backstory for a low fantasy setting. 

Just be honest and admit that you wanted more from that character because she is hot.
