That's an awful lot of words to say "yes, that's me".

Get some help.

Give me an F-zero 99 + Mode7 Mario Kart Mario Maker game. Simple 2D maps.

Deep Rock is good at letting you ignore what you don't care about. I've never needed a wiki for it. It's just fun and silly co op action, with massive complexity mostly about trivial things.

This is why I no longer go to loblaws-family stores.

I mean I drive a Prius Prime and I love it. I'm surprised they're not pushing harder on PHEVs. I just put 900km onto the darn thing on a road trip - a few evening charging sessions (the motel had a charging station across the street) for like $3 total plus $35CAD of gas for the whole trip.

The problem is that realistically this kind of tort law is hilariously difficult to enforce.

Like, 25 years ago we were pirating like mad, and it was illegal! But enforcing it meant suing individual people for piracy, so it was unenforceable.

Then the DMCA was introduced, which defined how platforms were responsible for policing IP crime. Now every platform heavily automates copyright enforcement.

Because there, it was big moneybags who were being harmed.

But somebody trying to empty out everybody's Gramma's chequing account with fraud? Nope, no convenient platform enforcement system for that.

Very yes. I like Lemmy but there's a lot of "corporation bad giv updoot" here.

Trudeau should've made a statement that he was no longer welcome in the Liberal party before he resigned.

He can't fire the speaker, but he can kick him out of the Liberals. The Liberals have such a reputation for screw-ups that they need to be seen cleaning house.

This. I hate these super-long aspect ratios. Bring back 16:9 phones. My old Moto Z was 10x easier to type on than the last 2 pixels I've owned (a 4a and now a 7), both vertically (where the keyboard was wider) and in landscape (where more of the textbox was visible).

We need open-list MMP or some other form of non-party-list PR. Ranked choice helps, but it still means that non-hyperlocal constituency groups can be ignored. Since old people vote in droves and there are old people everywhere, local winner-take-all systems like FPTP and yes, ranked-choice, still let the politicians ignore the youth.

Regional-proportional systems like STV or MMP let a constituency in the region that has enough people for a rep regionwide but not enough for any single riding get a voice in the assembly.

I mean, on the downside, this includes Nazis. But on the upside, this includes renters.

Agreed.

That said, the Armored Core games seem to disagree with their own stated goals.

"We want you to reconfigure your mech to properly fit with the mission!"

"Cool, so you're going to give me a thorough briefing on what I can expect so I can tailor my mech to that?"

"No."

"You're going to let me reconfigure my mech mid-mission?"

"No."

"You're going to unify the buy/sell/garage screens so I can easily redesign my loadout without flipping through 3 different screens?"

"No."

"So what am I supposed to do?"

"Die. Then reconfigure. And depending on the game, go deeply in debt."

"Yikes. So at least reloading will be quick?"

"No."

"You'll at least skip the scripted dialogue and startup animation when I'm retrying?"

"No."

"... Okay."

Seriously, the Armored Core game that die-hard fans describe sounds great. I wish those were the games they actually made.

Yeah, I'm on a very low dose of a stimulant ADHD drug and the first day I was visibly tweaking. I felt like I could punch God. A few weeks later I feel happily focused but day one was crazy.
