JamesTBagg , to Games in ELDEN RING - Update 1.12.2 (Rebalanced Scadutree Blessings)

There was a time where the tag line for Dark Souls was “Prepare to Die”

That's a neat fun fact, but I didn't buy Dark Souls, known for its difficulty, I bought Elden Ring, notable for its beautiful open world and complex meandering story.
Beating Malenia's ducky dance or chasing the Elden Beast around the arena for half an hour is not as interesting as all the questions created by the multiple stories and characters in the world. Or how Marika has betrayed or been betrayed. How Godfrey was cast aside only to be recalled when The Order needed protecting. Or how Godwyn pollutes the world above his carcass.
No part of the story will be diminished if the player is given a slight edge in combat. The combat often isn't even that fuckin good, it's just pattern memorization.
Some of you try hards are just, ugh, go back and sit down on your shit bucket. The rest of us are trying to have fun with our video games.

Hmm... maybe. You should look up East German Superfest glass. Big dishware producers refused to use it because it meant not selling replacement dishes.

Though, OP's argument is just dumb.

JamesTBagg , to Technology in Semiconductor manufacturers in Taiwan can remotely disable their chip-making machines in the event of a Chinese invasion.

Or, this sounds like tactical planning in case of an invasion, to prevent access of valuable resources to the invaders. Making it "need to know" makes perfect sense.

JamesTBagg , to Not The Onion in ‘Mean Girls’ Party Barred Server Due to Weight, Suit Alleges

But for most people it's too many calories, not enough activity.

JamesTBagg , to Ask Lemmy in What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member?

I feel the same about a lot of metal. I often really love the instrumental portion of lots of really heavy metal, then often the vocalist opens his fucking mouth and ruins it.

JamesTBagg , to Ask Lemmy in What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member?

Fair opinion. The Bleeding put them on the map for a reason too. Maybe I'll give FFDP some more listens.

JamesTBagg , to Ask Lemmy in What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member?

Yeah, they sound good, his voice is great. I like American Capitalist (I just assume it's satire) and and Wrong Side of Heaven makes me feel some shit (being a veteran), they're covers are pretty good, but a lot of it falls flat or just eh.

JamesTBagg , to science in New evidence found for Planet 9

Because back in my (our) day Pluto was number, so Planet X worked. Planet VIIII doesn't look as good.

JamesTBagg , to World News in 'I saw one terrorist standing by a bed pleading 'no, no,' I killed him with four bullets'

To be fair, you don't know what you're talking about.

1, Hamas is a political party, literally voted into power. Not all members would be militia.
B, Even if the man was of the militant arm, in full uniform and battle-rattle, killing a surrendered foe is murder and a war crime.

This coming from my experience as a Marine having acted in war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, that were occupied by many civilians and combatants.
