nationalism gave us the hubris to think we were impervious to fascism.

Which is absurd, as the fascist nations were overwhelmingly nationalist first and foremost.

God, Mouthwashing was a masterpiece.

I also really, really enjoyed Arctic Eggs, but it's so absurd that I can barely recommend it to people.

I appreciate Critical Reflex in ways I hadn't quite put together until reading this article.

What? You mean it was... Projection? Unbelievable. Republicans never do that.

It's like watching a cheater jump to conclusions about others cheating. It's easy for them to imagine it's happening, because it's what they'd be doing in that situation.

I'm famously a World hater, so yes, absolutely. Until Icebourne released, I was extremely disappointed with World, even for a pre-G Rank release.

Though, all of the titles since Generations have had the problem of being released with a portion of the planned content missing. I was more forgiving of it before, though I am having a hard time pinpointing why.

I picked up an RX6600 like 4 months ago for my partner to play Monster Hunter Wilds. It was $300 CAD (So, $220) and plays everything on the market at medium settings, 60fps.

It's a lower mid range card that does what we expect in the price range. It was also a sale price, but we got it.

I'm not denying that prices are, in general, higher, particularly if you're looking for traditional mid range options or even high end cards, but budget options exist.

Compared to World and Rise? It's just not very good. It's by far the fewest hours I've put into a Monster Hunter game since... Well, literally ever.

You just replace prisons with "work camps," and suddenly the US is as great as China.

It's interesting because

The nooticing is coming from inside the house.

SHIT, NOW I AM NOOTICING THINGS. IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME.

Ah yes, an executive director of a church writing an opinion piece on why we need more fossil fuels burning the earth faster and filled with hyperbole on the way we've thrown open Canada's doors to all the immigrants who are stealing our houses and health care. Such quality.

The Beaverton has more valid takes.

"Please be The Beaverton, please be The Beaverton, please be the Beave... FUCK!"

Believing police in the USA are anything near well trained or disciplined is naive at best.

Correct, which is why it's not an opinion I expressed.

My statement was that giving untrained, undisciplined people weapons is a bad thing. The point was to address the whataboutism of "they're out there shooting us right now," not to defend the absolute joke that is police in the United States.

Now that I've discovered the rest of the article beyond the wall of ads, I agree. I had partial information, and wrongly believed it was all the information, as the blob of ads on my mobile device was a whole screen. That, combined with being on the way out the door in the morning, led me to believe I had read everything and everyone in this thread is insane. Thenn, someone made a specific reference to something I hadn't read and I was prompted to go look, discovering there is much more article beyond our corporate sponsored break.

I legit thought they scared a dude with a rifle into fleeing, and then shot at him instead of letting him get away.

 

Apparently "nationalism is bad" is an uncivil take. Unless there's another reason someone would ban this comment... 🤔

 

So the situation is this: I am a junior high ELA teacher and I want to bring some videogames into the classroom. What I have to work with are the students Chromebooks. At first glance, I figured I'd throw some short, playable without install games on some flash drives and we could play through whatever game it is, and then talk about it like any other short story. Bring in the relevant terms, connect it to the course outcomes, easy. Then I began to learn the limitations of Chromebooks and how challenging it can be to run Windows .exe's on them, or find games that run natively on a Chromebook without installing.

Getting the rights to install anything on these devices is functionally out of the question. The request would have to go through the school board. Even if they agree that it's a good idea, the practicality of giving me the rights to install things without opening it up so the students can install things and without consuming an inordinate amount of class time in just setting up is unlikely. Ideally, I need games that can run on a Chromebook without running an install, or games that run in browser.

I'm googling around and considering emulator options. If anyone has experience in playing games in these circumstances, I'd love some options and insights. Additionally if people have recommendations for games that would be particularly good (narrative focused), I'd love to hear them. It's 2023; these kids don't need to learn what conflict is through short stories written by white men in the 1920s. With all the push towards student-focused learning and differentiated education, I want to start giving them choice and breadth in how they take in these concepts.

Thanks in advance for anyone who gives me their time and expertise on this.
