you could repurpose this headline to literally any creative or journalistic industry these days. “x industry is being propped up by underpaid freelancers” is just a fact of life now. it’s just so much cheaper when you don’t owe them any benefits or dignity or anything at all in fact.
interesting, i figured it couldn’t be 1918 because the swastika wasn’t associated with facism yet, but the swastika was just added later i guess.
i also have autism and i don’t think that last statement is even true for most autistic people.
there’s a “16” under the signature. that’s typically a date signifier. I’m gonna guess this is modern from 2016.
sometimes i put in on my knees, but I’m almost never in a situation where i want to game, but don’t have a table.
like, sure, i could spend $1000+ dollars on a mobile solution to compliment my desktop. or i can take my existing hardware and have a pretty good time with it while traveling or waiting for someone or something. it feels like people are trying to come up with silly reasons for this to not work. why would you think i would try to hold the phone in my hands too?
how does needing to put the phone down defeat the purpose on not bringing an entire extra $1000+ dollar gaming machine with me? i mean sure, i could play 2 generations old games on a laptop for a lot less than that, but i haven’t spent a single penny on my mobile setup. it’s not about being the ideal setup, it was about realizing i could use my existing tools to do interesting things like play my favorite childhood Gameboy games whenever and wherever.
you don’t even need a special case for it. i just use a pop socket to stand it up or hang it off something. again, something I already had.
you can turn off watch history all together and it will just give you generic related videos on the side.
it would be more like if someone intentionally painted that bottle to attract them then iterated that design using an the money in the world to perfect it. it’s almost Eldritch horror shit if it wasn’t just another person trying to make money.
yeah, if anything they might collectivize it like “emoji-tachi”. though I’ve never heard it used that way.
ahh yes, the loophole that has non dictators absolutely flummoxed. can’t be a genocide if you don’t blow up ALL of the aid. this is just sparkling mass shooting.
i mean… why? i just toss the controller i already owned in my bag when traveling and have thousands of old games. phone sits up on the table with its case. to me this is a much not sensible and reasonable thing than a handheld console. i don’t need the latest aaa games every time I’m not at my pc. i haven’t even spent any money on this yet. i already owned all of this for other purposes.
you can use any Bluetooth controller with phones these days. including standard xbox ones.
i love it for emulating old Nintendo games
i can forgive people for not referencing an ancient comedy that would take an entire paragraph of preamble to explain its relevant before making a point about a fictional story from a long time ago.
it’s not like it was a history.
IDK, it’s not impossible that someone who was born in the 80s will live go be freakishly old and outlive all the 90s kids.
not probable, but who knows, maybe they somehow avoided eating plastic based baby food or some shit.
always more complicated than the headlines would have you believe.
hell, Geralt spends damn near a quarter of the series straight up disarmed. one of the books is basically a legal drama about him trying to not go to jail after getting his sword stolen. don’t think he has his sword for about 99% of that one.
“gotta get my fuckin sword back” is a very common plot point throughout that series. not just for Geralt. ciri spends some time sword chasing too. i don’t hate it.
because that’s actually not in the books lol.
i honestly hate the show because it’s not at all accurate to the books either in spite of that being the bulk of their marketing. that said, the two swords things comes entirely from the games. in the books he makes comments a few times about the fancy metals in his swords helping kill monsters, but he only has one at a time.
but all of the same things could be said about Biden. he won. what changed?
the data does not support this conclusion. more young men did not vote for Trump, less people in total voted. almost no one changed their vote from last election. people were just convinced to stay home, which always results in Republican wins. both candidates got less votes total than last year, by a lot. i blame this on the “i refuse to vote for genocide” people that have just successfully accelerated that genocide.
the real metric that matters is that way way less people voted. not many people changed their votes from last time. many people are simply convinced to stay home, and as always, that results in a Republican win. the propaganda that was most effective was all of the “Kamala is no true Scotsman, so you should just not vote”. i believe this was lost by the people that “refused to vote for genocide”. i think that’s what accelerated the genocide.
I interpreted this as implying that the bits of food hiding in the water are small or pulverized.
I understand stew to just be less watery. barely enough liquid to cover the chunks.
