Until you’re in those peoples shes you will never really understand what drove them to do the things they did unfortunately.

I would continue on without a care in the world because superstitious people are a waste of my time. It’s just confirmation biases the game.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What's something you don't get the hype about?English11·1 month agoI finally started playing the first game on PC a few days ago… It’s not great. Story is whatever I dont really care. The actual gameplay itself is just…not fun? Clunky and imprecise.
I had the same problem with red dead 2. I don’t have the attention span to care about the characters or the story so I need solid gameplay to keep me hooked and it just wasn’t satisfying to play for the most part. Felt like I was suggesting movement controls rather than actually controlling my character. The guns all felt meh. It’s got some fun mechanics, but the bounty system was horrendous and the survival aspect is non-existent.
I have goopy goblin gamer brain as some call it. I need the gameplay to be excellent as I do not care about graphics or story. So many games have amazing graphics and legendary stories but the gameplay itself just isn’t fun enough for me to finish it.

MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some reasons a person should not visit the USA?24·1 month ago…did you read my comment at all? I very clearly stated that those are popular tourist destinations that people are still visiting all year round. As in people don’t find THOSE places too dangerous to visit why should they worry about america?
Both of those places are significantly more dangerous than the overwhelming majority of America as I very clearly explained in the rest of my comment.
I don’t think you read my comment at all. If you did you certainly didn’t understand anything I said.
Try again.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some reasons a person should not visit the USA?310·1 month agoWhat that data fails to properly explain is that outside of a few counties you are basically never going to see a gun homicide in the US. The city I live in has some of the highest gun crime in the country, but it is almost exclusively in a few small areas that tourists would never really go anywhere near.
Of our yearly gun homicides ~82% of it is African Americans killing other African Americans. Often in gang related disputes in very specific areas in a couple of states.
Depending on where someone is visiting they are likely much safer here than in many other countries on average.
Statistics are a wonderful thing, but it’s important to fully understand the data rather than just applying that average to the entire united states without any nuance.
Mississippi had a gun death rate of 29.6 per 100k in 2022.
Rhode Island had a a gun death rate of 3.1 per 100k in 2022.
Both those numbers include suicide by gun and suicide has outpaced homicide for at least the last 40 years.
Another thing to note is that the USA over all has lower gun homicide rates today than back in 1970s.
For comparison Jamaica had 44.7 gun death per 100k in 2022.
The Bahamas had 28.5 per 100k in 2022.
Plenty of people still feel comfortable traveling to those places year round.

If anything was possible what alternatives could you think of?71·1 month agoThis is why I have cannons loaded with grapeshot in every room of my house. Never know when I’ll need to remove a thief from existence.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Lady Gaga bomb plot: Thwarted plan lifts veil on the gamification of hate and gendered nature of online radicalizationEnglish1110·2 months agoWho could have predicted that constantly saying all men are trash could have negative impacts???
And to be clear in no way am excusing the behavior of people who respond in this fashion, but I can also understand how they ended up where they did.
I completely understand hating some people from any category of anything, but when you broadly blame ALL of a group you are absolutely going to alienate people who were either on your side or neutral. I think this is exactly what happened to a lot of guys. They were just sitting there minding. Their business and suddenly they are being told that they are inherently evil and shitty just because they are men. They hear it on the news and on social media. Pop culture takes a shit on them too once in awhile.
It doesn’t exactly take a rocket scientist to see how this could end up twisting around in the minds of some of them.
I don’t have the specific answers for how to combat this sort of stuff completely, but I think a good starting point would be to have more targeted criticisms as opposed to just going after an entire gender broadly. I think that has clearly done more damage for gender relations than it has helped anything so far.
Just my 2 cents as a guy who has seen some old friends who were once self proclaimed feminists now go full on into hating women. It’s sad to see.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Pedestrians Walking on Right or Left?41·2 months agoI walk wherever seems the safest. If it’s just me I’ll walk in the middle so I can dodge either direction should I need to. If passing someone who’s coming towards me I gauge direction based on the variables such as a dog or multiple people or whatever. Sometimes it’s better to stand aside and let them pass. Sometimes is better to just detour into the grass momentarily. It all depends.
If I am with someone I tend to stand between them and whatever the most dangerous thing might be. So usually towards the street with the cars, but I will swap sides if the other side has groups of people that are the more immediate potential threat.
At the end of the day I walk faster than most and I am bigger than most so I just walk wherever and try to avoid collision pathing.
beamNG.
There is no sadness. Only smashed cars and bent metal.

MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Android@lemdro.id•Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is now official with 5.8mm profile, 3,900 mAh batteryEnglish41·2 months agoI would take a phone that had flush cameras with the thicker body and a battery life in the multiple days range over the thinnest lightest phone ever made that still has big ol camera bumps because of the physical limitations of photography.
I do not care about the weight of my phone within reason. Not so I care about size much anymore. I have an S23+ with a case on it that adds a decent amount of thickness not only for protection but because I have big hands and the phone without a case feels like it’s going to slide out of my hands very easily.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?211·2 months agoI think it would have been a much better film if the audience had also been kept in the dark about him opening her pod as well. That way we can also go through the range of emotions with her at the same time when she finds out.
Just start the movie from her perspective. Pod opening and Pratt is already there. He tells her his pod just opened and he’s confused too. Then we get the whole “wandering the shipn for the first time” montage where they could drop subtle hints that it’s not actually his first time doing any of those things.
His character is absolutely a bad person, but it’s a situation we can sympathize with because being truly completely alone for any amount of time fucks with people badly. She has every right to hate him for the rest of their lives, but it turns out that if he hadn’t done what he did they all would have died because of the damaged engine or whatever it was (I can’t remember).
They could have made the movie much harder hitting and/or creepy for the first half, but they opted to try and make you sympathetic to his situation from the start.
It’s the movie that always pops into my head when thinking about wasted potential.
I said mostly clean. Yeah you gotta deal with dust, cobwebs and the occasional mouse or whatever, but it’s better than getting literally shit sprayed all over you.
Just saw your comment after I left time with the same thing haha
