I guess the best approach is to not limit yourself to just one label. Games like Enter the Gungeon, Nuclear Throne (or even Binding of Issac for that matter) are roguelite top down shooters. Spelunky is a roguelite platformer, FTL is a roguelite tactics game.
[warning: weird and unnecessary microgenre rambling ahead]
And don’t get me started on metroidvanias. Dead Cells is a metroidvania roguelite. Dark Souls is a metroidvania too, but also a souls-like. Technically all souls-likes are metroidvanias. Vampire Survivor-likes or whatever we are going to call them are probably going to branch out mechanically too, if they didn’t already.
Hades and FTL are rougelites. You’re expected to do them in one sitting, they have randomly generated levels and minor progression carrying over playthroughs. Vampire Survivor is an odd one out that’s just plainly not a roguelite.
I could write 5 paragraphs about what legal quirks government and president could use to keep control of it. It’s complicated but it’s believed that government would have easy time disbanding state media altogether and reforming it, if it was determined enough to skirt law in that way. PiS established separate oversight over TVP specifically but it wouldn’t matter in that instance. It wouldn’t require passing legislation that the president could veto either.
Our democracy is so flawed that some things could be done by ministerial orders and parliament resolutions in the interim, which is silver lining here. Hope we’ll get deep systemic reforms when possible so that we’re not in such a cluster fuck again but I’m not holding my breath. Tusk had 8 years to do that already and KO+PSL government only made things worse back then.
We had something similar in Poland in the 60s. Around 1.5k schools were built with military purposes in mind so they had layout that lent itself to be converted to hospitals, military storage and shelters.
9/11 is quite iconic for lack of a better world, due to influence of American culture so it doesn’t surprise me that much.
I’m also familiar and annoyed with Modi gang using every opportunity to dunk on Muslims. This news piece is likely to serve as justification to what they do in India and ongoing ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
I wouldn’t bat an eye if it came from any other news organization. This just doesn’t seem genuine.
Good on Times of India to make an 8th anniversary piece on this event that took place a continent away. Definitely has nothing to do with government sanctioned war against Muslim minority.
I know it’s easy to miss, only two thirds of the article are about this.
The agency said it had assessed numerous statements from functionaries and elected officials of the far-right party, as anti-Muslim, antisemitic, and racist before making the assessment.
The AfD’s Saxony-Anhalt branch has been under formal suspicion of far-right extremism since 2021.
BfV head Jochen Hollmann said his organization had gathered extensive information that showed the association’s values were incompatible with human dignity, democracy, and the rule of law.
“The regional association not only continues to hold anti-constitutional positions that led to its classification as a suspected case, but has also become radicalized to such an extent since the coronavirus pandemic that systematic observation using intelligence service means is justified.”
The Saxony-Anhalt AfD aspires to create a “homogenous ethnocultural national population” and exclude others on the basis of race or religion, according to the BfV.
The party also aspires to, “do away with parliamentary democracy in its current form.”
Created in 2013, the AfD began as an anti-euro party in the midst of the euro crisis, before becoming a staunchly anti-immigrant outfit in the midst of the 2015 refugee crisis.
It also latched on to frustrations brought on by the coronavirus pandemic and has regularly stoked fear and spread conspiracy theories. Its leaders routinely make headlines using Nazi language, trafficking in antisemitic tropes, denying the Holocaust and trivializing Germany’s Nazi past.
US officials say that Hamas is trying to get their own wounded (combatants / terrorists) out with foreign nationals (a third of total) which both US, Israel and Egypt refuse, understandably. Not backing down from hostage strategy, definitely great way to garner international support.
It’s no different than contract tracing that’s been on phones since Covid, probably neglible effect on battery since all it has to do is periodically scan nearby Bluetooth devices which the phone already does.
Didn’t subOP argue for locking yourself to Steam storefront though? Yeah, you’ll get bigger choice of hardware (which comes with cool stuff like shader stutter) but you’re still at mercy of commercial entities in many ways.
I play on many different platforms (or should I say - lock myself into multiple ecosystems?), Linux included, so it’s supper funny when people go full Linux jihad on me. It’s annoying that it happens so often here and I know it’s a bubble but in an ideal world that should lead to honest discussions and not doing sales pitches for increasingly niche solutions nobody asked for.
Original comment is such an off topic, disconnected and edgy tirade that I don’t really think I should be doing any more explaining given extremely heavy handed delivery in my response.
You seem to understand subOP better though. What was his point? He recommended Linux handheld running proprietary storefront and proprietary games, with 3 hour battery life, in place of a high end TV console. Also said normal people play on PC which means what for console gamers? Maybe I’m missing something.
I thought there wouldn’t be any doubt it was satire.
Arguing virtues of open source as a better way of running proprietary software is weird. Calling people playing on consoles not normal is really deranged and is likely a product of a 13 year old or someone with 13 year old mentality.
It’s rather debatable if buying Steam Deck is easier than going to a regular store and buying Xbox either outright or in installments with Game Pass too.
