No it’s not. This is bullshit. Nothing Trump does alienates his voters. GO VOTE. I have it on good authority that Trump could literally shoot someone in Times Square in broad daylight and somehow not lose a single vote for it and at this point I fucking believe it.

GO VOTE

One unspoiled egg in a factory of spoiled eggs doesn’t instill in me much hope.

And we’ve seen that the DOJ is a real stand-up operation the last 8 years, haven’t we

Fuck every last one of them for thinking that growing a conscience now matters. They can all die cold, alone and in disgrace for betraying our country when it really mattered. Them stepping up now is fucking worthless. It’s too late.

Uh huh. Speaking as someone who (stupidly) bought Star Wars Jedi Survivor at launch and expected a 12900KF and a 4090 to be able to play it stably – the game ran like absolute shit until the patch where they announced they removed Denuvo. They’d done all manner of patching to that point which made absolutely no difference for the majority of people, but miraculously, when they removed Denuvo the performance across the board was exponentially higher. Traversal stutter is still there, but it’s extremely minor and is aligned now with every other UE4 game’s traversal stutter.

But yeah, I guess that was just a surprising coincidence that the performance issues almost entirely resolved themselves the moment Denuvo was removed, and that they didn’t in the previous 8 patches.

Fuck Denuvo.

If the speaker refuses to certify the election and neither candidate gets the electoral votes to win, it moves to a contingent election where the House votes for the President and the Senate votes for the vice-president.

Biden will not remain in power, the contingent election would be forced and the House would obviously vote for Trump. Then someone who lost the popular vote and lost the electoral college would miraculously have won the election.

When the election committee and gerrymandering aren’t completely and utterly destroying local elections, that is

If you’re still on Xitter at this point, you deserve all the bullshit you get. That place is a cesspool. You can’t swim in the toilet and then pretend to be mad you’re covered in shit.

IANAL, but from what I read regarding Yuzu / the title and prod keys / etc., is Nintendo’s argument is three-fold – the only way to obtain those keys is to use a tool that itself is a violation of the DMCA, use of those keys by an emulator to decrypt Nintendo’s protected content in a method outside of Nintendo’s authorized use is a violation of DMCA even if the keys aren’t provided in the emulator, and there is no legitimate use of those keys except to circumvent controls intended to protect copyright.

Therefore, by their argument, any emulator that can use those keys would effectively be subject to DMCA even if you had to bring your own keys, because unless the emulator only ran homebrew or completely decrypted content and had absolutely no decryption capabilities, you’d still be using the prod keys and title keys to decrypt content in violation of the DMCA in order to execute it. So, the tool that dumps the keys is a DMCA violation and any emulator that uses those keys to decrypt protected content in order to execute it is a DMCA violation, and Nintendo has a strong case that the actual keys themselves are only useful for making unauthorized copies of content that bypass the encryption that exists to prevent it.

It stands to reason that a clean-room developed Switch emulator that required all content it ran to be decrypted prior to being able to run it may be able to exist without Nintendo shitting it into non-existance, since Nintendo couldn’t make any argument that the primary use was a DMCA violation as no encryption would be being bypassed by the emulator. They’d probably then go after whoever made the tool to dump the games, but they’d probably be less successful.

On the other hand, the pragmatist in me says that unless I was 500% sure of my online anonymity, I wouldn’t want to pick a fight with Nintendo – even if I thought I was right. They have enough money to lock someone up in legal battles for a very long time and most independent developers wouldn’t have anywhere near the finances required to bankroll appropriate defense counsel. Can’t say I’d blame people for not wanting to invite that hellscape into their lives.

I think OP meant Steam users have already seen the reviews, so the bigger market probably isn’t going to cause as big of a sales boost as Ubi was hoping.

That’s the whole goal this election. The conservatives are going to interfere with the election in as many places as they possibly can. All of the chaos they create they’ll then leverage to refuse to certify the election, then they’ll move proceed with a contigent election because the chaos they’ve created means we don’t have enough actual electoral votes to complete the election, then they’ll all vote Trump, and then someone who lost the electoral college and the popular vote will have stolen the election.

We’re absolutely fucked.

EDIT: I wonder if it’s possible for the current administration to do anything to impact this potential. You’d think the American people would support an executive order blocking contingent elections as it robs them of their vote. Short of something like that happening, I’m terrified that there’s nothing that can be done to stop them.

Do you think it would help or hurt the situation if Biden were to make a state of the union address and call out the imminent threat of Republican-led chaos causing this situation? Would shedding bright light publicly on it cause the people responsible to scurry away like the cockroaches they are?

What, are you gonna be on the front lines with your guns shooting? The overwhelming majority of people with this mindset have never held a firearm in their entire lives and have no idea what they’re even talking about. What are you even insinuating here? Is your end goal that we burn the entire country down because “wahhhhh both sides aren’t perfect”? Grow up, only children refuse to see greater good through compromise because they can’t see past not getting what they want. Single issue voters love to stick their head in the sand and pretend the one issue that they’re whinging about is the most important in the world.

Have fun standing on your “genocide” comment when you’re in a fascist dictatorship run by nazis. “but but but the genocide wah”

Trigger haptics can work on PC but it is game by game/implementation by implementation. Returnal works when connected via USB but not wirelessly (unless you enable Steam Input for DualSense, but that completely removes haptic trigger capabilities, turns the touchpad into buttons, and switches to Xbox button glyphs), but Ratchet & Clank works wired or wirelessly (without Steam Input enabled for DualSense). The DualSense support on PC is kind of hit or miss, I wish they’d just standardize a library that offers the base features wirelessly – the controller is really nice.

“The next election will be bloodless if the left lets it be” has been their rhetoric now for months, this is precisely why. Totally OK for them to illegally steal the election, but any attempt to stop them is viewed as some kind of incitement of war. Fuck these fascist pieces of shit. I really hope that there’s enough scrutiny and publicity given to their election stealing plans to prevent them.

User reviews are suspect.

This is one of the reasons I’m glad that Steam started cracking down on reviews that were just some stupid ASCII art and reviews that were just one big joke – neither of them help people understand whether a game is good and there’s just so much of that trash in the reviews. It’s a small change but so far it’s been positive.

I absolutely read it, I was replying to the comment that “every state needs to help make Harris a clear winner” by pointing out that the Republicans literally already made it impossible to make Harris a clear winner in GA.

But ok, tell me more about what I did and didn’t read.

Like GA, a battleground state, where they just made it legal for the elections board (3 Republicans and 2 Democrats) to refuse to certify the election results for absolutely no reason, indefinitely, without any burden of proof? Even if 100% of people in GA voted for Harris, they’d find some bullshit reason to refuse to certify the state’s results. Kemp is too much of a fickle piece of shit to stand up against it, so we’ve already lost the state in November.

Why do you think they keep saying “the transfer of power will be bloodless if the left lets it be”?

They’re not even hiding it.

This. THIS THIS THIS. More people need to be aware of this, the only thing that can be done at this point is mass awareness that they’re going to attempt to steal the election via the certification process. If in 4 years we haven’t been able to root out these fascists from the positions of authority there is no way we will be able to do so by November.

Everyone MUST be clear that this is how Trump plans to steal the presidency – he has been greasing these wheels now for years and he has enough support that he absolutely can do it. It’s not some far-fetched scheme, the Republicans have literally started legislating to ensure this is fully legal in battleground states and to @Boddhisatva@lemmy.world’s point, succeeded already in GA.

Make sure literally EVERYONE you know knows that this is the plan. It’s already underway and they will succeed if we don’t turn election certification denial into the poison pill that project 2025 is.
