  • What tropes are constantly used about groups of men or groups of women, even though it is obviously false?

    Jump

  • Women belong in the kitchen and are only good for making babies.

    Or that's what misogynists think.

  • More like, the internet will have you believe that women who plays video games either is:

    A porn model that just uses video games as a guise.

    Or

    A male hiding under a female guise who plays video games.

    You Should Know that the federal statue of limitations on Copyright Infringement is 3 years (USA)

  • Okay so you admit you're not a lawyer but try being technical about something criminally-related while I have not stated that I was a lawyer and I based what I said off some research. Just so you can feel cute by adding a jab at the end of your little reply.

    Yeah uh-huh, cute.

  • Why aren't more people re-examining past conspiracies as trust in mainstream media declines over Gaza coverage?

    Jump

  • Information is about as rapid as money exchanges. There's so much going around because News is 24/7 and there's so many outlets that it will burn out anyone's minds trying to follow it all. It was like with the Hong Kong protests, it got traction for a while, then something else happened and it was dropped within weeks.

    And we have all of these wikis in existence where the legitimacy of the articles written, are constantly challenged through the edits of those that believe differently in how it should be written to the reliable sources conflicting with those beliefs.

    And we have generations of people who do not remember the time of certain events as they've happened where previous generations did. So it can be harder for someone who wasn't born around the time of Pearl Harbor and WWII to relate and take in information as opposed to the one who actually lived it.

    Then we take into account of instances of history being re-written by revisionists, some sections of history is white-washed, censored, redacted .etc

    Top it all off with how incredulous and sensationalist projections the media reports that just shits all over it.

    And we have ourselves one big, informational train-wreck where almost nobody knows what to believe. So what most people do anymore is if a news report aligns with their beliefs, they're going to take it at face value.

  • Come to think of it, I've only enjoyed 2 game series by Valve

    Jump

  • I'm a Half-Life/Portal kind of player.

    I couldn't get into Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead. Those games seemed to require sharp attention spans of which I don't have for.

    You could've constructed, I don't know, a better thought-out opinion. What are you, 15?

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I have joined MBin because I still miss KBin.

  • Do you think there would eventually be technology to delete/replace memories (like the Men In Black device). How much do you fear such technology? (like misuse by governments/criminals)

    Jump

  • We don't need technology for that when we've got the drugs that'll do it more efficiently.

  • Valve Claims Steam Machine Outperforms 70% of Current Gaming PCs

    Jump

  • That doesn't make any sense to me.

    Lets waste so much manpower, hours of labor, years of development and vice versa so that we can potentially taint the goodwill of fans by taking loss after loss and relying on them buying games they'll never play on Steam.

    Consoles are a bit more careful than this.

  • If you were forced to play one professional sport as your job until you were 65, which would you pick?

    Jump

  • Not stated in the body of the post which you could've clearly have done.

  • If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day?

    Jump

  • Did you get something that is along the lines of Microsoft saying you can extend one year of support? Because I remember getting that before I reinstalled my windows, like it was backed to October 2026 or something.

  • If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day?

    Jump

  • No. Supporting the other comments, the most you can do is reschedule them over and over. So you're wasting time just pushing back the dates but you will forget one day and they'll happen when you least expect it.

    There is no way to turn them off and that is intent by design. Because Microsoft feels that the user needs their hand held anymore in making decisions based on a new computer they spent hundreds of dollars on, on top of whatever licenses they bothered spending more money on just so they can tell you when you will update. There is no choice, no option. You WILL do it and like it. Because Microsoft.

    Most of the annoying updates I've found have been for .NET. Fuck .NET.

  • You can choose 1 superpower, but the first reply is the side effect. What superpower would you choose?

    Jump

  • That's fine. That'll just mean I'm a airborne disease since my invisibility would be infinite.

  • What's the oldest website that's still alive that you've found?

    Jump

  • Gaia Online.

    It's been around since 2003 and it still clings on to its early roots of the internet but with awful modern internet decisions.

  • If you were forced to play one professional sport as your job until you were 65, which would you pick?

    Jump

  • Baseball. Try to have a MVP and decorated career, retire, still be involved with the game as a manager, retire from managing, slip into ambassador roles.

  • You can choose 1 superpower, but the first reply is the side effect. What superpower would you choose?

    Jump

  • Invisibility.

  • You have complete control over your franchise of choice, what are you retconning?

    Jump

  • A lot of horror movie franchises would get retcon or some installments would outright be axed.

    Friday the 13th would not need to go on for 10 movies. Get rid of Parts 9, 3, 5, X and 8. This is now going to be a compressed, coherent movie series of 5 movies where we attempt to establish a better comprehensible story involving Jason. Kane Hodder is the staple actor of Jason.

    Nightmare on Elm Street, going to cut out Parts 6, 5, 2, and 4. Compress and re-write the story while retaining elements of selected pieces to build off from. The remake will not have ever happened. Freddy vs Jason would still happen but it would be involving the original creators of both Nightmare on Elm St and Friday the 13th and Kane Hodder will star as Jason. No cop out ending like the original version got, but the victor would not only be decided by final battle but also body count.

    Halloween, take out 3, 4, H20, 2, 5, Resurrection and all of the Rob Zombie directed ones. Retcon.

    Scream, that movie series feels more like a trilogy movie so that's what it is going to be instead of all of these unnecessary installments.

    Final Destination, same thing.

    Saw, same thing as I felt the series ended beautifully with three movies but went entirely off the rails in later installments.

    Puppet Master, I would honestly keep to 5, get rid of all of the ones where they focused too much on the Nazi stuff and the clash they had with Demonic Toys.

    Leprechaun, just get rid of the ones where he entangles with the Hood and obviously the space one and max the series out at 2 films.

    Hellraiser, keep it to two movies.

  • Valve Claims Steam Machine Outperforms 70% of Current Gaming PCs

    Jump

  • The difference is, is that the Steam Deck is a handheld and for what it can do as a handheld is actually impressive. Given how the handheld market is dominated by Nintendo.

    The Steam Machine is marketing itself as a console and a PC, two things in where it can be outclassed in.

  • Cloudflare went down today and took half of the internet with it. How does one company have that much impact? Do you think that's concerning?

    Jump

  • Obviously it is concerning. We have just been given a window of a glimpse as to what would happen if one service in which so many things rely on, gets messed up. Like today I was having trouble logging into my bank because guess what, they rely on CloudFlare.

    I've read individuals relying on services provided by CloudFlare, their processes were interrupted.

    I know that CloudFlare has a purpose and its purpose is being served, but there's a reason why people love and should embrace the idea of multiple alternatives and hate monopolies.

    It would be like, if Comcast as an ISP has a blackout, do you know how many subscribers they have? Some people in certain areas are all that they have so the blackout would knock them offline for however long. That's why alternatives are important.

  • When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation/sleep-mode"?

    Jump

  • Until afternoon or evening.

    Coffee and not even a monster java in the morning is enough. I really do take that long to warm up. This is why I work night shifts.
