hopefully, with no mandatory need for a job at all.

Lol, as if. Look at wages:productivity since the 70s

I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech

You will never find a service that lets you post anything you want unmoderated. Your point is still wrong though because all you need to do is find an instance that tolerates your speech.

hasta mañana, amigos

agree, how do you feel about shitlib?

Seconding LibreTorrent, works great for all my mobile torrenting needs

Yeah, switching to Lemmy 100% kinda had me going cold turkey, but that gave me moments to realize I had better things to do; I’ve already finished three books since the Reddit blackout started

Wow, what a large search area, I heard about the crash and rescue on my NPR news podcast, but I didn’t think the rescue operation was this large.

Right, the Communist militias in the Spanish Civil War were being influences by Soviet partisans or something. The Anarchist and Marxist militias, which Orwell served in, were of the people.

Only two tabs? Those are rookie numbers, Bert, you gotta pump those up

Saw the headline and thought “wtf those floods are still going? I haven’t heard that in any of my news sources” before seeing that the article is from October 2022

I’ve heard about stuff like this before, Chinese companies basically building apartments/condos that are never 100%/suitable to be lived in, because they know that all their buyers are just people making investments to park their money

I hate that this has been co-opted by “Jews control the world” people, because it is an apt and concise way of describing how shitty everything is going; some car manufacturers are brazen enough to charge a subscription fee for headed seats, and it’s probably gonna stick and become the norm in maybe 10 years

That’s true, HL2 does have some great vibes, but Water Hazard and The Coast levels just seem to go on for much longer than they should, particularly some parts of Water Hazard where you’re literally in a trench and don’t have much to look at so it’s just driving down barren concrete tunnels while holding W.

There are some memorable moments, like everyone remembers the brick stack that falls on the player, and I particularly liked the more industrial areas of Water Hazard, and there are also some that use the driving mechanics more like the boss fight with the helicopter, but IMO the vehicle sections in HL2 are very much the “On a Rail” of HL2.

oh and also in Water Hazard while slowly making your way to Black Mesa East you get to watch the sun go down with each level transition and that looks/feels cool

They’re just kinda boring IMO, only driving down narrow corridors until you reach some roadblock where you repeatedly just get out -> do some shooting -> undo the roadblock -> make your way back to the vehicle -> drive down narrow corridor again -> repeat.

Halo at least feels mechanically different (the most common vehicle, the Warthog, is very physics-based so it feels much different than just walking, whereas the HL2 vehicles just kinda feel like moving fast) and usually used in conjunction with larger more open level design to make the vehicles feel more useful instead of strictly necessary, or in levels that give you heavy vehicles like tanks they are useful in taking out a large amount of enemy vehicles so it functions like a powerup and feels rewarding. Also you can get marines to ride with you and use the turret (or even have them drive you and you get to use the turret) so it shakes up the gameplay more.

because talking to strangers is scary and a creature pretending to be human that looks just like me is close enough

Oh damn, maybe my feed is just drowning him out or something, thanks!
