  • Destiny 2 is dead: "active development" ends next month after one final update, but Bungie says the MMO will still be "playable"

  • To be fair to Hello Games I'm pretty sure that Sony breathing down their necks for the release of No Man's Sky really screwed them over during initial development. They had to rush big time and it was a huge increase in scope from their previous titles. Definitely not trying to undermine them though, NMS is a pretty great game now, especially compared to how rocky the start was.

    As for R6 I remember hearing pretty recently there was a huge hacking incident that lead to players getting free shit en masse and effectively flipped the game economy on its head. I don't know how they handled the fallout from that but considering it's Ubisoft I doubt they learned anything substantial. Though if there's one inadvertently good thing they did it was kicking off the Stop Killing Games movement by shutting down servers for The Crew.

    Doesn't argue against the point of the replied comment, just twists words to satisfy their narrative

  • I think the idea generally is to replace the police with social welfare programs and unarmed crisis responders, but that’s jumping through so many hoops that it just sounds way too simplistic tbh. It sounds practical, but it treats the problem like it’s something that can be improved with just a few institutions reforming/being abolished.

    There’s never been a society without some form of justice system since cruelty is a part of human nature, and at this point these systems are far too intertwined and embedded in our societies for them to change dramatically without some form of societal collapse or retraction.

    Idealism is well and good but the things many want in place of police institutions seem like they’re ignoring how complex and non-specific the issues are as a whole. It’s definitely not a one size fits all situation, especially with how many factors there are. People can disagree with me but I’d prefer to hear why at least, there are probably things I’m not considering here.

  • Yeah, this is what a lot of people fail to take into account when it comes to the purpose of policing in society. There's obviously a lot of inherent problems with the way the police are structured in many countries as a whole, but to believe that we can just make do without something like them altogether is pretty shortsighted to say the least. I think that prevents a lot of otherwise sympathetic people from taking the backlash against police institutions seriously.

  • Trump appears poised to restart the Iran war

    Jump

  • It was the same way with the Vietnam war. It didn’t stop because people were upset about the humanitarian crisis it was causing, it stopped because of how fiscally ridiculous it was, especially near the end.

    This is how it’s always been.

    .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this

    Jump

  • It's come to my attention that you're someone who genuinely believes Russia is not an imperialist nation (where you ironically also attempt to hand-wave the definition of imperialism as forceful authority over another nation and imply that the only right one is that it's a direct and unique result of capitalism—as if a word can't have more than one definition), so I doubt you're someone I can have a rational discussion about authoritarianism with regardless.

    And again, you're fixing the term based on your own perception to make it support your point, which doesn't really have any merit when it comes to using these words as they are by academics essentially ubiquitously. Until we can both accept that authoritarianism has a set definition independent of many ideologies and therefore cannot be universally applied to them, this will remain a purely rhetorical argument.

  • you chose to make a comment. a hostile, argumentative comment.

    I'm sure you'll try to turn this against me, but I really don't understand how what I wrote could be construed as 'hostile'. I made a fair point. Someone replied to you sincerely, you disagreed with something they said, and you took offence to that and decided to respond in contempt (for some reason). If pointing that out is hostile, then I've got some bad news about reality. Unless you're mistaking me for the other commenter. Point still stands tho.
