I think the record still goes to Amazon’s Crucible, which was cancelled before release after a closed-beta that nobody played.

I mean you can find recipes in this very thread, it doesn’t have to be a mystery to you.

Yeah don’t fucking do this if you care about your friend. These scams can end up putting people in life-threatening amounts of debt, and the shame of being scammed by someone they thought they loved has driven people to suicide.

OP, if you and your friends all really care about this guy, you should talk to him about it and try to prevent him from sending any more money. Maybe bring some research on “pig-butchering” schemes, which is probably what your friend is falling for unfortunately, and show them the similarities. If you still can’t convince him, try and remain sympathetic so you can pick him up when the scam is finished.

What e-sports have kernel level anti-cheat? Isn’t it just the crap published by Riot? I know both CS and Dota 2 work on Linux, I’m pretty sure you can get Overwatch 2 running. You can’t exactly play Smash on a Windows PC either, but I think the other major fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter work. Are there any other serious contenders for a major esport I’m just forgetting?

Ya’ll know you can grill vegetables right? You can actually eat other things than solely meat at a cookout, and most vegetables pair pretty well with meat.

The problem is that to argue this point, you have to start going through all of the facts like case conversion rates, the domestic abuse rates, the rates of racist attacks by law enforcement, and the membership overlap between law enforcement and white supremacist groups. Once you start bringing up that many numbers, the idiots get confused and their eyes roll out of their skull, whereas the centrists get too scared realizing that basically no cop is actually trying to keep the U.S. safe and try to shutdown the conversation.

Dems have been calling for him to resign for a few months now though, and he still hasn’t, so I wouldn’t necessarily expect him to show any decorum here.

Good! Can we finally get this asshole out of politics now?

It can! People should already know Trump is unfit for office, it’s basically all the Dems were talking about from 2016-2020.

I think they’re trying to follow the whims of Blue MAGA, who keep bringing up Donald Trump being unfit to lead as a whataboutism towards criticism of Biden. There’s been a lot of chatter about the news agencies being biased for not questioning Trump’s fitness but only focusing on Biden.

Even though yeah, no shit Trump’s unfit for office. We were shouting it throughout the entire 2016 election.

It predates human civilization, and likely even predates homo sapiens. Our great chimp ancestors were likely trading spare food for sexual favors, though whether you can consider it the oldest profession depends on your definitions.

Yeah, this sounds more like a win for handheld PCs than some sudden shift across gamers. The Steam Deck has done well enough to spawn a sea of copycats, it’s not surprising that it’s making a statistical impact now too.

Information Needed:

Who are they?

Where are they meeting?

Are they interested in submissive men?

It’s honestly kinda sad that we even need something like this, but there’s been so many laws recently that seem to have cruelty towards low wage workers as their primary point.

The separation of the State and Federal governments really wasn’t equipped to deal with a death cult taking over.

Yeah, it’s a bit of a let-down when you compare what’s on offer here with a previous Larian title like Divinity 2. That game lets you make full on campaigns.

If you crossed Sonic and Eggman, which one would get pregante?

This almost feels like bait, your instance is Lemmy.ml. The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, your home instance is literally the home for far-left ideology. You’ll still see a leftist bant for the reasons commenters have mentioned, but the single biggest reason is that your instance is owned and operated by them.

Yeah it’s because Americans are fucking terrible at governing.

The vast, vast majority of Americans do not care about their elected officials. Most do not even know who they are, and just vote based on party affiliation or don’t vote at all. Our government structure also fundamentally doesn’t work, and we would be far better served adopting a parliamentary system like the rest of the developed world, but nobody cares enough to do anything. Our courts are corrupt thanks to Donald Trump, gerrymandering means our elections are hardly fair, the list goes on.

America has an apathetic government that accomplishes very little and is easily captured by hostile forces because it is exactly the level of government Americans are willing to put in the effort for.

The Sims 2 Castaway is basically the proto survival crafting game. It’s kinda cool to see the classic Sim stats get used in such a different way. I sometimes wish EA would return to those days of selling spinoff Sim games like Castaway and the Urbz, rather than just dumping every single new idea they get into one game as DLC.

I mean, Solomon left recently, who I kinda consider the reason those XCOM remakes were so good. Not sure if I’d really be that excited by a third entry.
