Can you elaborate further on the situation in Kurdistan?

I hope that slow and painful death takes place in prison, with all of his accomplices.

we need a c/wildlyinfuriating

Ideally, yes. But we’re way past the point where mitigation alone can solve this. We need climate change adaptation, too.

I wanted to make games as a job.

The wish would be “I want to make videogames.”

I now make games as a hobby/casual side thing alongside a regular job

(looks at state of gamedev industry)

… and it seems I dodged an entire drone strike with that one.

Perhaps those guilty of crimes need to be given a fair trial and a fair sentence, and failure to do so doesn’t just harm them - it tarnishes the ideal of justice.

Justice is symbolized by a scale for a reason, after all.

(checks American voting patterns)

Unfortunately, that word would be “his”.

Glad to help, and I hope you enjoy the games!

The Entropy Centre is a largely Portal-inspired game that will require you to plan out what you’re doing even more than Portal. (Note: there are a few chase sequences and a few battle ones that break this pattern.) And there’s a cute robot called E, and your portal-gun-equivalent has an AI too. Basically, it’s Portal but the AIs are friendly.

And then there’s The Talos Principle series, which is even more like what you’re looking for.

I don’t know enough about those instances’ leaders to guess whether they’re also misled by propaganda or knowingly supporting these dictatorships and their actions.

I think we might be having a misunderstanding. I thought of “tankies” as denizens of lemmy.ml and similar places, likely not even being Russian or Chinese themselves or living there.

I’m pretty sure you are right about Chinese and Russian imperialism. However, the average person anywhere is not a knowing supporter of imperialism themselves… that’s where propaganda comes into play.

…they are the enemy, they hate all that is good and just in the world, all they know is war and submission

I don’t think even Trump supporters are that horrible people. At worst, tankies are falling for Russian/Chinese/etc… propaganda, possibly due to overcorrecting from American propaganda. None of us are immune to propaganda.

Afton probably sold his soul to Satan for advanced AI tech or something, idk.

Also, artificial intelligence is a LOT more than GPTs. We had AIs that can win against Kasparov since 1997.

Was that one guy that tried to contact them their Roswell moment?

Does no instance want to do it, or there are those that want to but can’t?

…and that’s hard?

I just use a remote-less git with a physical backup for that lmao. Probably easier than self-hosting a git forge

So dollars are actually pesos?

Connect.

It’s functional…ish.

(Let me know if this lemment got through)

(Also, I’m technically on PieFed now… but that’s basically Lemmy 2 or something, right?)

Without any elaboration, this is just a regressive buzzphrase and people will inevitably interpret it as such.

Nature abhors a vacuum, and at best, you will be asked to elaborate (which you could have done to begin with).

I am trying my best to think you had good but misguided intentions in commenting this, but I’m not sure what these are.
