No man. Use your fucking brain. This is either one of the most intellectually dishonest arguments I have ever seen or you are truly an idiot.

You're saying the equivalent of "How do we know person A punched person B, and it wasn't person B who slammed his face into person A's fist? shrug We as internet observers just can't know."

It's disgustingly dishonest. Everyone is trying to tell you this and you keep retreating further. Step out of your shoes or whatever personal reason is causing you to have this cognitive dissonance and look the situation honestly. You should see that your posts defending this have been pathetic and dishonest.

One party says it was spontaneous consent and the other party said it was not, so how do we as the internet observer what it truly was?

You are a clown.

I've seen that, although I think it was a fan video and not any official creation. I liked it very much. It would have made a better introduction for sure.

Indeed. While I would have preferred an orchestral piece, the intro theme for Seasons 1 and 2 was jarring, but not bad. When they updated it for S3 and 4 it was absolute garbage.

The one-shot intro for the mirror universe episode was absolutely fantastic though. They should have stuck with that one, or Archer's Theme, which has an appropriately Star Trek optimism to it, while still being a bit "pop"-y.

https://historyforatheists.com/2016/12/the-great-myths-2-christmas-mithras-and-paganism/ This site has a great breakdown and take down of the most popular atheist "myths" about religion. Religious stories and arguments collapse on their own lack of merits; there's no need to make up bad history to try to debunk or discredit them. Movies like Zeitgeist are not helpful, and if anything end up poisoning the well by making objections to religion look weak and fallacious.

I was doing a battle with a metric fuckton of enemies, and I was screaming at the screen because I was so bored waiting to finally get a turn.

You've captured the real tabletop D&D experience!

People act like scientists have never even looked at traditional treatments and just ignore them because they are "traditional." Like we haven't had decades upon decades of progress in medicine, exploring every accessible avenue, and only a few of those avenues actually lead anywhere real. Herbs do not "cool down" or "speed up" your blood. Water does not have "memory." There are no such things as "meridians" in your body. We don't need to spend more time researching these things until you can prove that they exist.

People arguing that we need to spend more time researching traditional medicine ignore the fact that we have, and we found it to be bullshit. It's an intellectually dishonest argument, because it just moves the goalposts every time. Traditional medicine supporters will never admit that their medicine is bullshit, because they view it as foundational, so the most they can do is say "we need to examine it more!" Even though the fundamental, most basic claims that these systems are based on are pseudoscientific fairy tales.

I'm not sure why, but things changed for me at some point. Several years ago I had a server that worked just the way you say -- the cover arts would never get updated without my say. But recently I've had two other fresh installs where the art gets overwritten regularly, even after optimizing.

[–] osarusan@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This doesn't work. I've manually updated artwork only to have it refresh automatically at a later date.

Ignoring anything you might say about the game itself (i.e. it's not a good game at all), the biggest reason people are shitting on it is because Overwatch 1 was a $60 game that they abruptly canceled and re-released as Overwatch 2 "free to play" without any changes to the it, locked the characters behind a paywall, and leaned as heavily into micro-transactions as any game ever. It was a massive bait-and-switch. They also promised that a complex story mode pve experience was the reason they had to make it OW2 rather than an expansion or whatever to OW1, but they ended up canceling that... so literally all they did was take a game they had charged people $60 to play and made it an f2p micro-transaction game. They royally fucked over the loyal player base, and cheapened the game by making it free. I've never seen a more blatant "fuck you" from a developer to its fans ever.

To me, video games are never worth 60 dollars. Ever.

Was a video game worth $40 in 1995? Because if you paid that back then, that's the equivalent to $80 today.

So yea, paying $60 sucks, but game prices haven't kept up with inflation at all. Not to mention the $40 game in 1995 took a dozen guys months to create, while a $60 game today takes 5+ years and hundreds of people.

No, man. I didn't say that at all. And I'm not playing dumb games with dishonest people. Peace out.
