In Austin, there was a short period of time where all grocery stores were legally required to ditch plastic bags.

A successful campaign strategy for city council right after that was to run against the plastic bag ban because people kept forgetting their reusable bags. Everybody agreed they are bad but individualism and a sense of laziness prevailed. This is America.

The biggest thing he got wrong is the assumption that it's good programmers writing libraries.

This was my take away. They paid 1 individual over twice the amount they lost last year. That fix is easy math to me.

This doesn't mean they aren't. Just that we don't have proof yet.

Back in my day we just looked at photoshopped pictures of celebrities like respectable men!

Are you suggesting that just because their ancestors were tortured beyond recognition that they are no longer worthy of basic rights?

That's definitely a hot take if I've ever seen one.

Not gonna lie. I've never heard of Substack but I appreciate their stance of publicly announcing why I would continue to avoid them.

Where is the nearest fire to dump this comment in?

And this whole conversation overlooks one of the major complaints a player would have of Bethesda did the same thing.

Entering an atmosphere changes the physics and those physics are different for all sorts of reasons on every planetary body for every ship. From gravity to atmospheric density the ship would fly differently on every one and that ignores the fact that ships are near enough to infinite in configuration in this game due to the builder.

If Bethesda did this, players would be complaining it wasn't realistic enough.

Lemmy is a collection of instances with the express purpose of each instance getting to set us own moderation rules.

As a concept, it can neither be pro or anti censorship as the software doesn't enforce either model.

That's not a Reddit thing. That's just a thing.

I've been playing Final Fantasy 16 for the last couple of weeks and feel really let down by the hype and reviews of this game.

While I enjoy the deviation of the combat the rest of the game feels very incomplete. The vocal animations are frequently off. The travel from area to area is just an overworld map to select travel from one small area to another. There are like 2 or 3 side quests at a time and a whole vendor that will send you to side quests in different areas, but his menu is always empty.

In general, the graphics are roughly the same as FFXIV. The animations and music seem ripped right out of 14 as well. And the combat and akin to the main series Kingdom Hearts games.

Overall I'm enjoying it, but these 7-9 out of 10 reviews that are calling it some massive achievement seem really undeserved.
