Even DotA itself was inspired by Aeon of Strife which was a StarCraft map. There were a few AOS-like maps at the time but DotA became the most popular. Then Riot came along and approached an ex DotA designer to help them make a successor. They also approached the owner of dota-allstars.com which at the time was the main site for DotA. Discussions, hero suggestions, fan art, pretty much anything dota related was there. Then, the owner, Fuck Pendragon, took the entire site down and replaced it with a LoL ad. Ofc all those hero suggestions were taken and implemented into LoL without crediting the creators. A few years later he also tried to use blizzard to sue valve for the dota rights but blizz and valve settled it out of court without him.

You do realize that it’s mainly the poor people who are suffering when the rich don’t get taxed, right? It’s the governments getting robbed, yes, but that wasn’t the main takeaway from that comment.

The steam page says they’ve sold 500k copies now. Jesus. Game looks good and it’s PvE, so… might get it, I guess

Everything is a CIA psyop nowadays. Everything bad happens because of the USA. Everything good happens because people are strong enough to resist US influence.

Look at Cuba. Amazing government that provides free healthcare and people are super educated. And all the issues that they have are because of the US embargo. All the other issues like freedom of speech and whatnot are not actually real, just another CIA psyop.

So see? The USA is both super powerful and super weak.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was a different but similar game from the same person. Even the background story was the same or similar. So… maybe just new account

Hunter weapon

It’s illegal to drive in slippers in certain countries, afaik. Slippers can… um… slip? Or whatever, they don’t offer the same amount of control, that’s for sure. Irrelevant 99.9% of the time, but for that 0.01%…

And then came bumblefuck RFK Jr. with the typical level of stupidity.

Made me lol.

The same quote is also in the guardian article.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency

A friend used to spend time sneaking + auto walking into a door behind which was an npc. He did that to level up the sneaking skill… Edit: oh, op mentioned his trick as well. Still, point stands.

Meh… these types of tricks are interesting to discover, but boring to use, imo. If you’re gonna play that way imo just use cheats to max whatever skills you want. Less time wasted and more time left to enjoy the game.

So basically you’re asking me to explain it to you because you don’t understand? That’s okay if that’s the case, I won’t judge people that try to understand stuff.

Yeah, as I was saying xD keep insulting other people’s reasoning skills when you can’t make the connection between “elected” , “voters rarely know what they’re voting long term” and Hamas being designated a terrorist organization after they were elected.

More of a cultural thing, I think. From what I’ve gathered from a friend that lives in the Netherlands the dutch are pretty serious about paying for their own meals and getting people to pay for theirs. I even remember seeing a sketch made by some dutch people where one gives a bite of their sandwich to a coworker or something and then they tell the coworker that they’re owed x amount for it.

xD I’m pretty sure then irony is completely lost on them, unfortunately.

Gaza aid flotilla in the title. Not Greta’s flotilla. Her name is there because she’s the most well known person there, probably and also because not everyone was arrested.

It says in the article

The Global Sumud Flotilla said most of its vessels were continuing their journey as of early Thursday morning, nearing the coast of the Gaza strip despite the interruptions.

Vice city has a cheat code that makes cars fly. Although it’s more like leapfrog because you need to accelerate in order for the game to push you up to fly.

So when I was a kid I used to get the tank and turn the gun around and shoot it and use it as a propeller for infinite flying.

Well, after reading the whole thing… they have equally bad things to say about Russia and China, so I don’t think the article is written by a tankie. And even tho I disagree with their claims that Europe is sabotaging the peace talks in Ukraine (it’s obvious to most people that russia doesn’t wanna give up the land that they’ve taken and Ukraine isn’t happy to concede it either), I also can’t say for sure that they’re not. World leaders are known to be lying cunts and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that they are indeed doing that. They probably think it’s a good thing that Russia is spending so much time and resources in Ukraine.

Depends what you mean by recent. I’m not even someone that plays with music, unless it’s an rpg or some other genre with a lot of talking, I just turn it off because I prefer listening to my own music.

But to answer your question, world of warcraft, Baldur’s gate3, clair obscur, Stardew valley, tropico 6, doom, hotline Miami, pretty much all the supergiant games, outer wilds, Cuphead, celeste, witcher 3, ac black flag + odyssey (fucking love those shanties).

And that’s just off the top of my head and from games I’ve played. I’m sure there’s tons more.

Edit: just as I pressed the post button I remembered how I’m always super hype for new civ games because they always have good soundtracks. Except for this lastest one, haven’t played this one.

Yeah, you won’t hear us defending those games either ;)

I think people are jumping to the beating part but ignoring the rest. The thought process usually goes like “wow, my parents would’ve spanked me for doing that… but they’re not doing anything!”

It’s not about the beating. It’s about the kid being allowed to do whatever without any action from the parent. Because that’s usually how it goes when a kid is being a nuisance.
