    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Heck, he'd be fine with murdering someone if it would net him a little extra spending cash. The man is morally bankrupt(and likely financially too, though he's better at covering that up)

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I know of him, but not much about him, outside that he's currently the most followed YouTube personality and that one of his main collaborators came out as trans last year.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    As he should have been. Difference is you don't hear the Biden family yelling 'rigged' over the whole thing.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    Pathological optimism can be just as dangerous as pathological pessimism, essentially.

    So I am making a video game.....

    Are you using a tilemap for level layout or a different method, also is your game more Bad Dudes or more Double Dragon? Was wondering because the style in this case would greatly effect how you handle said input and collisions. As far as the code goes, I do recommend setting up an axis instead...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    If only I could justify getting that piece of kit, it's absolutely beautiful.

    Man also took one of the worlds most famous travel photos EVER. Godspeed, General.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Paying a CEO more in compensation that the company has made in profit during it's entire existence combined is absolutely ludicrous, even if most of that payment is in company stock options. How ANY investor thinks that is a good idea is beyond me.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    So does she think 'The Devil made the fossils to lead people astray' or is it 'God flooded the entire planet and that's what killed the dinosaurs'? At least there's actual physical evidence of a large impact event in the Yucatan. She's also forgetting that dinosaurs still roam the Earth. We...

    AI don't trust techbros

    It's a shame the AI part has outpaced the robotics part, for sure. Automation COULD bring us a Star Trek utopia, but there's no monetary profit in that, so...

    So I am making a video game.....

    Most of the tutorials will focus on platformers, side scrolling shooters or FPS games just due the mechanical simplicity of those types of games. Beat-em-ups are a bit more complex as far as input handling and hit detection goes.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    It's currently a violent terrorist cult. If Trump wins, it morphs into a violent fascist regime.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    I can't blame Biden for not expanding the Supreme Court. He literally can't, that's the job of Congress, and well.. The Dems in Congress dropped the ball on that back before the 2022 elections.

    Police behaving badly

    Maybe having a public defender sitting in on police interrogations would be a good start. As it stands now police have too much leeway when it comes to post-arrest questioning. Having an advocate for the accused be in the room during the questioning even without the suspect asking for one...

    Police behaving badly

    Yea, and in the case in question they immediately went with using psychological manipulation techniques to coerce a murder confession without any real evidence the 'victim' was dead. There was no legitimate 'police work' here. They just wanted a confession so they wouldn't actually have to...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Hopefully, but I won't hold my breath. Frankly I'd GLADLY have my phone be a few MM thicker so I could replace the battery without removing glue, but late-stage capitalism won't allow it.

    Hate that you seem to be right on this.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Well, given the stuff Apple has been getting away with for years, of COURSE Samsung is gonna try to do something similar, seems to be their MO. Granted, Samsung doesn't have the cultural momentum Apple does, at least not in Western markets.

    Police behaving badly

    Interrogation techniques like that should be illegal across the board.. It's not about actual justice at that point, it's about 'closing the case'. "Interactions in Real Time" from Babylon 5 is meant as a cautionary tale, not a playbook.....
