Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May
5·7 months agoI recommend playing them in order, you can Import your save file from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3, carrying over narrative choices you’ve made. Also you get really good (and well earned) starting gear if you import the save.
The first one, while being ultra mega jank has some of the best writing out of any game I evet played. Choices really matter in this game and the game really respects your time for doing your homework whether it be monster hunting or investigations. It has more than the usually bad side, good side choice, characters can die because of your decisions (or even lack of). If you can see past babies first attempt of a combat system, the first Witcher game is amazing.
400 years ago? The church would kill me now.
Yeah, they did the branding thing to people too.
That actually made me laugh.
I already stated openly on here that I despise women, but hear me out. I think mysoginy/misandry, racism, etc. are not hereditary. Nobody is born that way, it’s a learned or environmental behavior. A lot of men lack a positive feminine role model, usually the most impactfull person to fill that role would be their mother, but sometimes mothers suck, that happens and it sucks for any kid in that situation. So were else to look if not to the only person closest to you? Media? I think we can agree that women have been under- and misrepresented in media for a long time. So the real world is the only place left. But the real world is volatile, everything is dependent on luck or opportunities. As a kid, not everybody has the chance to for healthy and meaningfull relationships with the other sex. Sometimes you just get unlucky, sometimes life just isn’t fair and while others are playing in on the playground together, you have to lock yourself into a room to hide from the parental abuse or take care of problems that other kids don’t have. You miss out on so much essential character building that will be impossible to catch up on later in life. And here is the point where the hate starts. I don’t thing mysogyny nesseraly starts with men, I think it’s the desperate attempt of belonging from young boys that is often met with hostility, bullying and ridicule from young girls that manifests as the image they have of them for the rest of their lives. You surley can’t hold every woman accountable for that, but it only takes one.
As an adult and sane person I realize that about myself. I realize that I have a learned involuntary response to women based on how I was threated in the past. But I’m also mature enough to accept that for the betterment of everybody, I’ll be better of aline. Maybe if a woman would step up and show me that their actualy better than my experience makes them up to be. But here’s something a woman recently said to me that makes everything fall into place on why this hasn’t happened yet.
“Women don’t owe you anything.”
Why should a woman go out of her way and prove all the others wrong? Why go through the effort? Why take the risk? They don’t owe me anything and I have nothing to offer in return.
If I’m not the only one who feels that way, then this is an issue that will never be solved, only prevented. And I think it is getting better nowadays with the next generation and more representation.
So my advice is: “Girls, be nicer to boys, your words carry weight that you can’t know the consequences of. And while women will always have appeal on their side, men don’t. Either they’re accepted or they’re not, and that’s mostly for you to decide.”

Physicians: “It’s all vector addition and differatials?”
Mathematicians: “Always has been.”
I think I haven’t played a single skirmish round of Company of Heroes 1 without the Blitzkrieg mod in the past 15 years.

Astronomy@mander.xyz•Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032
262·10 months agoYeah I’ll take one for the team. I go to the point of impact and when it finaly hits, I’m gonna try to punch it back into orbit.
You don’t have to thank me.
You escape by finding the six-shooter in the office desk loaded with one bullet.
Jumping of a roof will turn you from physics to forensics real quick.

Science@mander.xyz•Fake papers are contaminating the world’s scientific literature, fueling a corrupt industry and slowing legitimate lifesaving medical research.
141·10 months agoIt’s fine. Don’t forget, pharmaceuticals sit on like 40 years of unpublished medical advancements because releasing them is “unprofitable”.
And it is remarkably consistent at doing that.
Talking only with people in the field, so when you say “The thing does the thing with the thing”, they know what you mean.

Games@lemmy.world•Metal Gear Rising is seriously overratedEnglish
3·11 months agoI tried it but I couldn’t get over the fact that there is no dedicated parry/block button. Also the game looks horribly dated with muddy textures and environments.
It doesn’t have the soul of a Metal Gear game. Its quite literally Bayonetta with a Metal Gear reskin. Metal Gears gameplay is mostly about player freedom. You have to get from point A to B and how you do it is up to you. Rising takes all of that away, just hack and slash to kill everybody. Its still fun, but definitely not a Metal Gear players cup of tea.
I had the same realization about 40K Space Marine (the old one). When it originally cane out I loved it, but I replayed it a few months ago and realized that its kind of bad. Its just corridor, arena, corridor, arena, corridor,… There’s not really anything to it, not even the story. Why is it so highly praised? Because back when we first played it we thought it was cool and nostalgia is a powerful thing.
I only played Rising recently precisely because back when it came out it deviated so much from the first Trailers. I wanted Metal Gear Solid 4 but with Raiden, but what we got was Metal Gear Devil May Cry.




That’s the side effect of a 2 party system. If they could split up into smaller parties, they could at least stand on their opinion.
