Wtf is this? Israel won’t exist in 10 years? The Arab world won’t accommodate them?

They are on better terms with much of the Arab world than they have ever been. They are certainly on better terms than Hamas is. Hamas has Hezbollah and Iran (Persian not Arab). Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Morocco, Bahrain, and Sudan all have formal relations with Israel. Turkey had long had formal relations with Israel.

And for most of those that are adamantly against Israel aren’t exactly in the position to really start something that they know would escalate to US involvement. You think Iran is going to Nuke them or something? Because Israel is rather established.

You realize that all peace talks have failed, because the Palestinian governments refused any deal that required them to recognize Israel’s right to exist. Every deal.

And before that, when Israel accepted the offer by the British, the Palestinians didn’t accept it because the surrounding countries essentially said they would kill all of the Jews in Israel and take the entire area. Which they tried. Twice. And lost. Twice. And in the ceasefire terms, those countries granted Israel those disputed territories. Actually much more than they currently have, as they gave back most of it to Egypt in peace talks with them.

Palestine could have been a country many times over. But they do not want peace. They wants the whole of Israel.

And during all of those time, things have just gotten worse. And the hatred between the two sides grows. But the only thing that has stopped Palestine from being a country is the fact that the governments of Palestine believe negotiations start and stop at having it all.

So tell me, how does anyone free Palestine?

You realize the attacks are coming from Gaza where Israel did pull out, and then the people immediately elected a terrorist group to lead the country. That group then put the destruction of Israel as one of their main platforms.

I mean if anything this is showing why Israel doesn’t withdraw from the West Bank.

This might be my favorite meme of the month. There is a problem though. How often do they actually talk to people to end up in this quandary?

I kid. All the love to my vegan arch users. Or arch using vegans. Whichever one you prefer.

Language changes over time and words don’t mean the same thing forever. The entire purpose of language is to communicate. So if you have a Mac and say you are a PC user, you are failing to use language well. Apple themselves helped facilitate that change. It can be less consistent with Linux on a PC, I agree. But language is an evolving meme (as per the original definition of meme, not the cat photos). And to not acknowledge that is like being a young earth creationist with language.

Do you also argue that anyone who is happy is part of the LGBT community?

Honestly this is what pissed me off about the reaction to cyberpunk bugs. I remember how the fallout games were at launch. And I think even now trying to play new Vegas on Xbox (360 I think?) Has an issue if your save file gets too big where the save will corrupt.

CDPR definitely over promised. But every business does. They probably should’ve not released on last gen consoles at all, but that is tricky as fuck. I mean when they started to dev cp2077, I doubt Sony and MS even had dev units for next gen. Probably should’ve delayed last gen release only, made a transparent explanation and apology, and did what they ended up doing after release. But I had a low mid tier PC that played it at a solid 60 fps without major issue at launch. And it was exactly what I had hoped.

I’ll probably also really like starfield, warts and all, when it drops. These are just my type of game.

I watched halo the way I watch most films made of books I’ve read. Going in treating it as its own thing. And I rather enjoyed it. The whole not showing his face wasn’t even something in the full story. Just something they backed in to accidentally in the games. The books have him with his helmet off a lot early on even after getting mjolnir.

But it probably isn’t top 5. That being said, I love sonic stuff and I’m not sure boom is either.

I agree. I’m also annoyed at gaming media giving sonic games shit. I understand there were many many bad games, but some of the most recent stuff is quite enjoyable. I love frontiers. Mania is great. Sonic forces was a bit goofy but fairly enjoyable. Murder of Sonic is fun and free. Sonic generations (especially the 3ds version) is cool too. And they made origins more worthwhile all while prepping for a big new classic sonic game with multiplayer that I’m pretty hyped for.

I mean the other end of the spectrum is something like Metroid. Almost all of the games are bangers (not you whatever that third person shooter one was called) but are released few and far between.

Sonic frontiers and persona 5 royal both have denuvo on PC I think and both are pretty big and great imo.

My English teacher always warned us about the dangers of run on sentences.

These are subjective statements though and different people want different things. And difficulty variation can broaden the audience while not really changing the game. Sometimes I love a fight. Sometimes I want a story. Sometimes I want to couch coop with my youngest kid and he struggles with some games that he otherwise loves (looking at you Cuphead) that an easier mode would totally fix. And he absolutely loves Sonic, but the originals would be unplayable for him if not for modern saving and non permadeath. Or emulation with save states and cheat codes.

Why are you trying to convince people that if a game is too difficult or long periods between saving doesn’t work for them then it is their fault and not that of the game design. That’s a weird stance to take. If someone designed a car that was generally very nice but with the gear shift next to the passenger seat door, would you say that is just a car for people with super long arms or would you say that was a poor design choice that is going to massively limit an otherwise nice car?

Thing is, handheld isn’t even niche. Sony just bungled it with the dumbass non SD card shit. That added so much cost to owning a vita. My kid lost mine, but when I had it, I mostly got games on cartridge because I didn’t want to pay for more than the 8 gig card.

Handheld has always been Nintendo’s safe console. And PSP did quite well. When the GameCube and wiiu flopped Nintendo was still making bank off of handheld.

But whatever. I have a emulator handheld, vita3k is looking nice on my phone and getting really close to functional, my steam deck is wonderful for power and even more emulation. And of course their is the switch. I guess since I haven’t even gotten a ps5 I will be skipping out on this monstrosity.

Hey don’t forget me. I’m a little late but I’m here. And this thing is so stupid. I really wanted a new Sony handheld but this was not what I meant.

Article is a bit strange for the graphic and didn’t Metroid pre-date doom? Also what is the bottom middle left game (white and red hair) and bottom right game?

If Stephen King wrote scp and someone made it into a near perfect AAA game adaptation. Loved that game. Can’t wait to play the sequel.

I get what you’re saying, but the issue is that if the only punishment for a crime is a fine, then it is really just a service the rich can pay for. Even suppose you set the fine to be defined as the amount gained plus some extra. Most who commit the crime are unlikely to be caught. So you need the extra to be defined as many times the amount earned from the crime. But then you are unlikely to get the amount they fine, and might just make it so the person is more likely to commit crime to try to get out of the debt (see: world war 2 causes).

That being said, there are probably better options. Community service, restrictions on investing, etc. but those have their limits. Also, I don’t know what Japanese prisons are like. They might serve a better function than the criminal factories of the US system.
