  • AACAB I can get behind lol. ACAB half the time is just straight up internet trolls and instigators. Meanwhile the same people love to espouse shit like how the wealthy are the real oppressors while ignoring most police are only firmly low-middle class. There are way more people getting into that job who just happened into it like most people in the world. While yes, the abusers and psychopaths are attracted to the job for the above, the separation of powers in places like that are wide. Just like they would be in most businesses. Let alone the real deal PTSD they have to deal with daily to weekly in som areas.

    Any direct supervisors for teams that have pretty full automony know it’s impossible to track what they do constantly. So much of it is based on the trust system and good faith actors speaking out when they see something. Throw in some bystanders effect and benefit of the doubt for people who’d normally be good to you but a monster in the shadows… I’m not envious of police one bit, or the people trying to make change from the inside. Which is the only real way it’s going to happen despite internet tough guys espousing otherwise while refusing to pay taxes for shit like mental health services lol. Elected local/state politicians, DAs, also being the people who could make those changes. Also equally vilified.

    It’s way more complicated than people give it credit for when you’re actually trying to make change. For most people trying to get by, best thing you can do is vote.







  • I don’t know about you guys, but if a great friend and coworker I knew to be an upstanding person got accused of raping people I didn’t know, I’d be with my friend all the way.

    When it comes out they actually did the thing? You condemn what they did.

    This isn’t some weird ‘gotcha’. This is people who like to scrutinize people who watch the Kardashians essentially doing the same thing on the internet lol.

    Having your trust and integrity betrayed is one of the most human and humbling moments possible. One which anybody who’s had more than two friends or a family in their life has ALREADY gone through.

    What a pile of low life tabloid shitmongery.

    Don’t be a fucking hypocrite. Do you want people to change their opinions with new information or not?



  • So multiple people have mentioned mod support but I’ve never seen it myself in numerous low graphic and high graphic quality games. It looks like resolution is less a matter and more no want for it. 99% of games have no NEED for anything I said.

    Immersion is supreme for so many whales though. Not only that, but people with 3060 series graphics cards or equivalent make up like ~15% (did I math right from the toilet?) of Steams userbase. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/?sort=name

    I’m just surprised mech games, which are designed by their nature to be futuristic and have LOTS of HUD elements, wouldn’t make use of multiple screens to declutter and immerse better. RTS games would also be great candidates for this QoL feature.

    The argument requiring 4k resolution is moot too when you consider only 1-2 screens need it. A minimap and info screen can be rendered in near shitter quality.

    It just seems like a case of where creating a game that uses multiple monitors in different resolutions seems like one of those weird programming hiccups that throws shit off or takes up too many resources. Otherwise I feel like making use of another screen for a HUD would be relatively easy. I’m no programmer though, hence the question. There’s also balancing complaints where people who can afford multiple monitors have easier to see from peripheral maps, cooldowns, stats, etc.

    As for money on controllers, gtfo lol. That’s clearly not in the spirit of my question. I just kinda expected FromSoft after making billions to put in some neat odds and ends features into Armored Core which is also near and dear to their hearts.

    I was immediately disappointed when there was no cockpit view but hey, it’s Armored Core, not MechWarrior.
