The first game was funded through Kickstarter and a random Czech millionaire who really liked history. I don’t exactly blame them for not having the marketing budget needed to really make to first game as successful as it could’ve.

Hopefully, the amazing success of the first game can propell the second into being the Skyrim level RPG success they deserve.

It’s important to note this was a minority of congressional democrats, only about a quarter, still a quarter of the party too much.

Disregarding the weirdest propaganda meme I have literally ever seen.

Lei Feng died of very very non-natural causes, supposedly when he was struck by a telephone pole that had been hit by a truck. It’s also worth noting that he was essentially just a caricature of the “perfect revolutionary” for the Chinese government, it’s very hard to establish any historicity to any of the things attributed to him.

@Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world avatar

Did any other congresspeople do that? I’m genuinely surprised if not, few things really invoked how that moment felt better than the pictures I saw of him solemnly cleaning the capitol floors.

Oh there’s many many many more than just Skywind.

There’s Skywind and Skyblivion.

And then the Fallout 4 Capital Wasteland team that’s been remaking the DLCs and main game of Fallout 3.

Then there’s the Fallout 4 New Vegas team, which has been doing the same but for New Vegas.

Then there’s the Fallout 2 remaster team mentioned in this article (Project Arroyo).

And then there’s the Fallout 1 remaster team (Project Vault 13).

There’s also mods being developed that are entirely new areas, such as Fallout London, Fallout Miami, and Fallout Cascadia. Along with the Elder Scrolls equivalents of Beyond Skyrim’s teams, Nirn Uncharted, and Apotheosis, which aims to have all the daedric realms.

Despite any blunders Bethesda might have made, their modding community is thriving now better than ever.

Edit: Also all of these projects have Discord servers where they post regular progress updates.

There’s no quicker way to have people sounding like 13/50’ers but with dogs than to bring up pitbulls.

Yeah damn she deserves some more credit. She made a better flag than most states have.

I’ll also grant that that Hamas probably killed a higher percentage of soldiers on Putin’s 71st birthday than Israel has Hamas members since then.

This is a fucking unhinged comment, beyond you using “Putins Birthday” as a dogwhistle for October 7th. Comments like this do nothing but make the Pro-Palestinian anti-Genocide movement look pro-Hamas.

The rate of civilian to soldier deaths on October 7th are the exact same 2:1 ratio that Israel is currently being criticized for. Both governments are shit when it comes to murdering civilians and neither should be praised.

Seems weird to be so anti-Genocide you end up supporting another Genocidal group.

Bernie_Sandals,
@Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world avatar

Presumably you wouldn’t stand next to a Nazi who denounces Israel’s genocide.

Like Nick Fuentes and the other Nazis that have praised Hamas? No, I wouldn’t, there’s certainly a better way to advocate for peace than by standing next to someone who would do a Holocaust 2.0 given the chance.

Would you stand next to an Islamic fundamentalist doing the same?

Why do I have to agree with or work with Hamas to want a Palestinian State? That’s like saying I have to agree with “6 million Germans” Nakam. to criticize the Holocaust.

There might be lone wolf attacks here and there, but there won’t be some great MAGA uprising.

Even that could turn scary though. One lone wolf attack could inspire more and those inspire even more, eventually leading us to an American Years of Lead

The Trump base has shown us how insane they are before, I don’t want to underestimate what they’ll do next.

They’re saying they’re going to try again tomorrow at 12:00. At least it wasn’t the rocket or capsule itself, they’re saying it was the ground based towers countdown computer system.

Damn. Wonder how many delays they’re gonna do before finally launching. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Millions were in germ war tests (www.theguardian.com)

Large Area Coverage Trials’, the MoD describes how between 1961 and 1968 more than a million people along the south coast of England, from Torquay to the New Forest, were exposed to bacteria including e.coli and bacillus globigii , which mimics anthrax. These releases came from a military ship, the Icewhale, anchored off the...

Here’s a non-British, American equivalent in San Francisco.

It’s really hard to try and talk about stuff like this without suddenly starting to sound like Alex Jones.

He’s not wrong. Someone enabling fascism is just as guilty as the fascist

Except no that’s now how culpability works under any system, there’s a reason every country on earth views being an accessory to a crime as lesser than committing it yourself.

While courts have ruled source code is first amendment protected. Your statement is still very very wrong. Just because it’s first amendment protected doesn’t mean it can’t be classified normally or made illegal to leak because of ITAR.

But go leak some of the source code from XKeyscore or a schematic of a pair of GPNVG if you’d like to test our code classification and ITAR systems.

Bernie_Sandals,
@Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world avatar

Okay but that has no relevance at all to what the comment you were replying to was about. Companies contracted by the government and DOD specifically to create rockets are guaranteed to be covered by ITAR. Meaning open sourcing them would be impossible, regardless of the first amendment or anything else.

There’s a massive massive difference between the software for a DOD contracted rocket like SpaceX makes, and hobbyist rocketry.

Bernie_Sandals,
@Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world avatar

Why do you think software would be treated any differently?

Bernie_Sandals, (edited )
@Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world avatar

Okay but again as has been pointed out to you, that has no bearing on government contracted products like this, whether that’s code or rockets or anything else the government doesn’t want to just share with the entire world.

And the party establishment can and has changed over time, the Democratic Party of 1890, or 1910, or 1930, or 1970, were massively different parties.

The party has generally trended more progressive over time on everything except economics, and that’s starting to change with the tepid integration of democratic socialists.

Why Megadonors Are Unfazed by Donald Trump’s Guilty Verdict | Money flowed into the former president’s re-election campaign from Wall Street and Silicon Valley following Thursday’s historic conviction (www.nytimes.com)

With the billionaires backing him, it’s going to be on us as individual Americans to make sure Trump doesn’t end up in the White House again. That means not just voting but talking with people around you, volunteering and donating

Obama addressed the housing market bubble by bailing out the banks when he could’ve issued the same relief to those who were exploited.

I’ve read his autobiography focusing on this period, iirc according to him his advisors said there were basically only three options.

  1. Bail out the banks who had a part in causing the issue and subsequently failed. (His least favorite but what he ultimately picked)
  2. Bail out the mortgages of the people who were at risk of foreclosure. (His favorite option)
  3. Complete nationalization of failed banks with extra actions like forgiving all at risk mortgages (He was tepid on this)

The problem was that those solutions are in order of increasing expense and decreasing likelihood of Congress’s will to pass. Meanwhile the economy was burning down and his advisors were saying we could have another great depression if action wasn’t taken immediately.

Bernie_Sandals,
@Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world avatar

I can see how timeliness was his priority, but our unhoused numbers and housing market would look very different had mortgage relief passed.

Oh yeah in hindsight most people would say they’d prefer the mortgage bailout rather than the bank bailout. But when you’re a young president in your first days of office and people with economics degrees are screaming about how it’s all burning down…

I understand why he did what he did, should’ve definitely still tried to of gotten way more mortgage relief afterwards though.

I just wanted to note that it wasn’t exactly the sneering “Yes let me fuck over the working class as much as possible for my neoliberal values” as some people claim.

But a government that potentially is nefariously attempting to block a candidate shouldn’t be able to bar someone from being elected.

No conviction short of insurrection would disqualify him from running for office and being elected.

Many candidates have won election for president while never even leaving their house to campaign. Trump would unfortunately be in a better position than anybody to win the election from inside a prison cell.
