A high-profile British judge who resigned from Hong Kong’s highest court last week has warned the city is “slowly becoming a totalitarian state”

Slowly becoming my ass...

HK is already totalitarian af.

Das kommt tatsächlich (viel zu oft) vor.

Aber oft ist das auch vor Angehörigen leichter zu erzählen, als dass man es mehrere Monate lang nicht geschafft hat, einen aktuellen Kontoauszug oder eine Kopie vom Mietvertrag in den Briefkasten vom Sozialamt zu werfen.

Und ich weiß, dass auch das eine große Herausforderung sein kann, wenn man mit Behinderungen oder psychischen Krankheiten zu kämpfen hat und die Behörde nur weiter in ekligem Beamtendeutsch Dinge fordert und fordert, bevor sie selbst einen Finger krumm.

Es gibt eben beides. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Totally different genre, but I liked how Celeste approached this.

If you struggle to complete it there are tons of accessibility options to make the game more approachable.

And the content necessary to finish the games story is not too much, while giving challenging -well- challenges to anyone who wants to spend more time with the game.

And you clear the game screen by screen making it possible to only play it a short bit at a time.

It's almost a bonus that the story and soundtrack are fucking beautiful.

Es Ist denkbar, dass die Winter in Zukunft tendentiell eher noch wärmer werden könnten.

Do you actually wonder?

Those caps get lost way less and since the bottles themselves usually get recycled now the caps also stay in the cycle.

And it took me like 5 bottles to get used to it.
Even a slow learner should get it sooner or later.

I think you are wrong to a degree.

The problem is not that the left is an illusion and more that there just is no left wing party in the US.

Like you said there is a right wing party in line with most conservative parties in Europe and there is a protofascist party in line with Putin, American Oligarchy and religious extremism.

That doesn't mean that an actual leftist movement or party can't possibly exist or is a mere illusion.
The political system in the US is just purposefully designed not to allow a successful party on the left.

Elections are decided in big parts with money, which inherently favours those with money (and corporations are people in the US for some fucked up reason).
This is by design and not something that is natural or automatic.

I guess our positions are not that different, I just wanted to add some nuance.

This is not news.

I didn't watch the video but the newer Pokémon games are actually bad by different measures.

The graphics of the newest one (whatever it is called) is at least a whole generation behind other Switch titles and still it suffers from FPS drops and textures that just pop up while already in view.
That is just objectively bad.

That they never really innovated very much on the turn based RPG formula or that the newer games are very easy are things that I don't even mind, especially because the games are supposed to be accessible for children.
That could make for a nice relaxing game after a long day of work.

But I am not willing to pay 70 something bucks for a game that is so obviously made without the necessary care for the product.

Sehe ich sehr ähnlich.

Bücher zu verbrennen ist grundsätzlich ziemlich scheiße und ich bin auch überhaupt kein Fan von den Aktionen in Dänemark und Schweden.
Aber deshalb steht es noch lange niemandem zu, mir vorzuschreiben was ich mit meinem Eigentum zu tun und zu lassen habe; schon gar nicht wenn die einzige Begründung ist, dass es ihrem eingebildeten Freund nicht gefällt.

Was hat irgendeiner deiner (möglicherweise sogar validen) Punkte damit zu tun, dass Leute in Sachsen massenhaft Nazis wählen wollen und damit (zumindest in meinen Augen) Nazis sind?

Wieso sollte die Reaktion darauf sein, dass es nicht genug linke Politik gibt, ausgerechnet Nazi zu werden?

Wie hätte man es vielleicht wirklich verhindern können?
Weniger irrationale Ängste schüren, weniger mit rechten Themen flirten und damit Themenpunkte setzen. Solche Sachen.

Und das sage ich als jemand der dafür ist, den Mindestlohn zu erhöhen, Steuern auf Lebensmittel niedrig zu halten und andere sinnvolle Umverteilungsmaßnahmen durchzuführen (du hast da schon einige genannt).

Das meiste davon sind aber doch Dinge, bei denen die Nazis selbst dagegen sind. Davon könnten ja auch Ausländer oder Deutsche mit migrantischer Geschichte profitieren.

Kann ja mal passieren.

As long as I don't have to buy new inventory tabs I don't really mind.
Actually I think it is a good idea to start with a relatively clean slate, POE is pretty loaded with mechanics and maybe they can skim some off.

I don't think it's going to happen, but I would like it if I could jump back into the game every couple of seasons without having to follow a build guide or being dead lost and using like 5 different 3rd party tools.
I don't have a lot of time for gaming anymore and I want to play other games, too.

Then again I know there are people that love the complexity.
