To be fair, every controller is a copy of a copy anyway.
It's not like Nitendo's pro controller is unique, for example.

I like the back buttons though, hope it works on PC and it's cheap.

I got one of these super cheap (mines got a brushed aluminium gunmetal look) because I wanted a wired controller

I think it must have been almost exactly a year ago, as I guess they were end of lifing X1 stuff and it was £15 in a bargain bin at Asda (literally UK Walmart) and official controllers are still £50 a pop.

The ergonomics are better than my old 360 controller, but I guess thats just because X1 controller ergonomics are better and they jacked them, and sticks still feel good, but loose sticks are your classic frog boiling in water thing where you don't realise how loose theyve got until you pick up a fresh controller :idont

Funny enough my last 360 controller I bought was a power a and it started drifing after a few days and died after about a month or so I bought it for about 20 dollars.  :maf

The whole falling asleep during a movie/TV show is hyperbole right? Because if I can do graveyard shift, wait 4 hours for the first day showing of Endgame, watch the entire movie, and commute back home without nodding off then it shouldn't be difficult to not fall asleep while watching something and if it isn't hyperbole then maybe take a nap before watching? I just can't understand how tired you need to be to fall asleep watching something you paid for. Ive been seeing this comment in this thread and other threads and I just don't get it if it isn't hyperbole.

His lawyers are taking the worst defense possible, which is Chauvin did nothing wrong and actually it was the fault of literally everyone else involved in the situation except him. It was George Floyd's fault for being a drugged up criminal. It was the bystanders fault because Chauvin was so threatened by the "crowd" which was about 5 people upset standing on the side walking pleading with him to stop killing a guy on the street that he lost track of what was happening, it was the fault of the dispatch for not calling for EMTs sooner, it was the fault of the EMTs for not reviving him, it was the fault of pre-existing conditions and he probably would have died that day anyway, it was the fault of the police department for training Chauvin to hold a suspect that way.

So far they've tried to argue that angry black man was scary, Chauvin was only 5'9" and George Floyd was a 6'4" monster what else could he do, other black man was scary,  the most senior officer in the MPD isn't credible on techniques because things were different when he started (he still gets training yearly on all techniques and explicitly says "don't put your knee on a suspect's neck" is in the most current training), implied that a teenage girl who filmed the event that ended up being the main video that caught on in the media somehow benefited from her video going viral and maybe recorded it with the intention of going viral who then said the way it impacted her life is crushing guilt that she didn't physically intervene and she stays up crying and praying that George Floyd forgives her, that people being upset watching a cop kill a man on the street means they're not reliable witnesses because they're angry people who hate cops. Multiple police and EMTs (both off duty ones who tried to intervene and ones that were called to the scene) saying this was not normal procedure or acceptable behavior had their credibility and training impugned cuz what do they know anyway?


It's been some real :titus shit with the defense tactic of just not acknowledging any wrong doing happened at all as opposed to arguing he didn't mean to kill the guy.

I have not been following the case at all besides daily NPR briefings.  I really don't even want to hear any more details. At this point I'm just trusting that they have so many credible witness' saying it was straight up murder in broad daylight that at least that cop will be found guilty.  Even reading your summary has me pissed off.

What's the idea behind concealed carry? To me, the idea that anyone could just be hiding a gun, is scarier than being able to see who has one in their holster (which is also weird, but that's another story).
Is it because it prevents from carrying around larger firearms?

Lol. $20NZ/hr is actually very, very low when converted to other currencies.

It's AU$18.47. Minimum wage in Australia is $19.84. So much for progressive NZ, huh?

It's US $14.06. Which is less than the progressives in the US think the minimum wage should be.

These dumbarses are slowly coming to the realisation that this $20 minimum wage is not that impressive and New Zealand isn't that multicultural.

They have a smiley, young, decent looking Prime Minister though who says all the things that make her sound progressive. Actual progress is very minimal, especially for non-white people. But you can't criticise her, because that makes you a bigot and sexist and mean.

I'm :gbcry and AFAIK we have some of the strictest gun legislation in the world, but there's still a 'concealed weapon' permit with more stringent checks than a regular weapon, because its use is primarily intended for things like security services / private military / discreet armed protection escorts etc.

As a non- :usacry its obviously :mindblown to me that any random joe schmoe can just roam the streets of major cities in full tactical gear while carrying a semi-automatic rifle as much as it is any rando can have a revolver hidden in their sock or the small of their back

Quote from: Ryengeku, post: 62199478, member: 8994
The cycle is they have to keep playing constantly to get enough to keep buying the pass for free right? You take a bit of a break and the momentum is lost. Then you'll still have to pay for it again.

The point is more that if it's a game they enjoy, it actually offers the ability to keep up to date with seasonal skins without having to pay more of them.

In the Marvel season that included skins for Thor, Storm, Iron Man/Tony Stark, Groot (+ Rocket), Mystique, Dr. Doom, She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters and Wolverine/Logan ~ with alternate styles too and gliders, back blings and trails for a number of them. All for the price of the battlepass, or nothing if you'd chained from a previous one.

Both games are not "entry" level games. And if i can i would delay as much as i can access to Fortnite to my nephews. As much it is colorful and funny game it is also very bad influence regarding monetization. Mincraft they can play whenever they want.

Fortnite you buy one Battlepass, get a load of solid cosmetics and enough vbucks back to perpetually buy the next pass for 'free' with some surplus.

Get "trapped" in a cycle of buying something once and getting every subsequent pass for free for just playing the game they enjoy?
Quote from: Ryengeku, post: 62199478, member: 8994
The cycle is they have to keep playing constantly to get enough to keep buying the pass for free right? You take a bit of a break and the momentum is lost. Then you'll still have to pay for it again.

As kids and teenagers we had no chance against Pokemon, Star Wars Episode 1, Lord of the Rings or Dragonball Z. Today kids have absolutely no chance against dark patterns, vbucks, AI algorithms and influencers.

So the UK are planning on "vaccination passports" (ie a phone app and a piece of paper showing you're vaccinated and / or have already had covid or recently been tested negative) for access to high risk of spreading events (indoors enclosed spaces, distancing can't be ensured etc) which has led to this absolute multi post meltdown

:neogaf

This country really, really hates young people, doesn't it?

Rushing so incredibly fast to get Vaccine passports in whilst the vast majority of young folk haven't even been offered their first dose is just despicable. It's a tacit admission that we aren't, and were never, in it together; this entire thing has just been there to get homeowning Tory-voting pensioners safe ASAP with complete disregard for anyone else.

I just hope there isn't too much grumbling when the vaccine passport scheme inevitably backfires. Whether that be with the economy still being in the shitter or from vast swathes of people just breaking the rules anyway. At this point we'd deserve it.

Quote
lol it's always the young people's fault for 'not voting.'

As if we don't have a country that actively disenfranchises the entire age-group in almost every way, making them apathetic to politics that is more-than-likely not going to work for them even if they voted. As if we don't have a voting system that makes the votes of young folk almost entirely inconsequential due to them not having the power of "home-ownership." As if we're literally nothing but a tick in a box so that out-of-touch can feel great about the Tories getting out of power for another 5 years (and nothing much more).

I'm so tired.

note: there is no home ownership requirement or modifier for voting in the UK :lol

Quote
But how do we vote in 2024 when the only viable opposition clearly doesn't care about us either?

Starmer said fuck-all about school meals until a young footballer made a ruckus about it; he's consistently backed the Tories in so many lockdown restrictions despite said restrictions actively fucking over anyone University-aged; he's 'against' Vaccine passports but not because of its inherently discriminatory nature but because it's "Un-British." That's not to mention the flag-wanking, the literally-worse-than-America drug views, and the recent gaffes regarding him visiting an anti-LGBT church. If literally all we've got in 2024 is a "revenge vote," against the Tories then, yeah, it's unlikely that anything will actually change.

That's not to mention how, due to the economic fallout of this predominantly affecting the young, the likelihood of young people being able to move out of job-

Labour strongholds (if they've managed to move out) or the job-poor Tory strongholds (if they're having to live with parents) is low. FPTP makes it incredibly difficult for young people to truly gain an advantage over an age group that, by virtue of financial safety and retirement, can take up the majority in almost all battleground seats throughout the entire country.

So, yeah, the only way this is going to change is if this country stops hating young people...which is never going to fucking happen.
Quote
It's awful, and it's selfishness on my part because I am in that age range who will get the vaccine last. My generation has basically been told 'Thanks for locking down/being furloughed/fired/had your education ruined, we cant wait to give your vaccine multiple months down the line. Until then please allow us to continue fucking you over financially, mentally, and socially whilst your elders can go out and enjoy life'

I dont think the vaccine passports domestically will go through though. I think there's going to be way to much pushback from both sides of the political spectrum and many business (especially clubs, stadiums, concerts, festivals, and events) who need our age range desperately not only to attend, but also to work there.
It's not selfish at all.

And I think they'll definitely go through. There's no way the Tories are going to be the party to tell their primary voter base to "wait a bit," so that those dreaded young can all get vaccinated first. Especially with the massive push in recent days to paint all Uni students and the likes as littering lockdown-breaking yobs. That shit doesn't exactly paint a picture of a country that'll stop kicking the younger generations whilst they're down.

Quote
Where did I ever imply that my problem was with the vaccine rollout? Of course it makes sense that the more vulnerable get theirs first. Don't put words in my mouth like that.

But to clarify, when I refer to "this entire thing," I'm referring to the lockdowns, the economic policies, and this vaccine rollout scheme. They all make sense to protect the health of those most vulnerable, but the actual implementations have pretty much all been entirely based around the wants and desires of 'home-owning Tory pensioners' above all else.

Shit like Uni students being basically kept in prison whilst being charged extortionate rent for the privilege (whilst house-prices are artificially kept nice-and-high), or primarily-younger teachers being forced into work at the behest of their own unions (and shop workers like myself receiving fuck-all compensation for working on the front-lines), or the utter lack of any real attention being paid to Long Covid, or the near-constant propaganda vilifying young protestors and Uni students for the actions of a shitty few, or the current situation where we're actually looking at putting up the 'vaccine passport' barrier before everyone has had the chance to get theirs (and putting it almost entirely around activities young people like to do). I could definitely list more.

Also call me cynical but I highly doubt the Tories would have cared as much if it were young people being more predominantly effected by this. Why would they? We 'don't vote' after all.


The trigger?

Quote
I'd much rather show a vaccine passport than wait upwards of 3 days for a negative test just to go watch bloody Black Widow or Space Jam 2.

Worth pointing out that anyone can get a test in the UK, even without symptoms, at any of the numerous walk-in testing centres in any reasonably sized town. That’s all they’d need for the passport. But it does involve going outside during the pandemic, where neighbours might be fixing cars or meeting friends from other households.

I’m in one of the last groups to be vaccinated (mid-30s with no health issues and not in a frontline job) but could get all I needed to qualify for the passport in like 40 mins, and that’s if I walked to the testing centre.

But then again I’m a homeowner so I think the Tories send me a double secret honorary boomer card that allows me to vote soon.

The UK handled this better than most if not all EU countries, which is a shocker even to Johnson himself but that is the truth.
Still vaccine passports are a big government bullshit can of worms no one who gives two ounces about their freedom or a free society should back.

But some people are so used to the dystopia by now that they just shrug.

Nah, the events being passported are all implicitly age verified (and therefore requiring identification) anyway. There's really not a strong argument against them.

That's not how the EU plans to do it.

Vaccine shortages no doubt followed by test shortages and mandatory testing and vaccination via passports is just a recipe for disaster.
It's just another tool in the totalitarian government toolbox.

When you get symptoms you test. Testing perfectly healthy people is not at all necessary.
Has anyone calculated how it impacts 'ze climate' if roughly ~400 million people in the EU test every day to take part in society or does it certainly not matter? (I already know the answer)

Who controls the distribution, pricing and availability of such tests and passports? All digital eh? Oops, you lost your phone. Sucks to be you, you can't go outside anymore.

This is not at all the same ballpark as getting tested for some 'exotic' diseases when you travel to a different continent.

Restrictions have only increased, we're only getting pulled deeper into more 'waves' and more 'mutations'.
We had a year to prepare and adapt and then open up. The EU sat on their hands and couldn't even order enough vaccines so now all they can do is impose more draconian measures to control the masses.

This is not at all the same ballpark as getting tested for some 'exotic' diseases when you travel to a different continent.

This is the UK 'vaccine passport' plans (and 'vaccine passport' is itself a misnomer, as it includes people who've caught it and recovered and people whose tests have come back negative):

All of the 'needed' category are venues that for various reasons implicitly need proof of ID anyway; there's no real civil liberties issues in requiring one kind of ID check when another kind of ID check was always needed anyway.

They're pushing an app because its cheaper / easier / more convenient to most people, but you get a paper ID too.
When I got my first shot they gave me a card with date / vaccine batch number / NHS ID on it, and they'll just add a second sticker when I get my second shot, and that'll be proof enough.

Likewise, if countries are going to require proof of vaccination to move between countries, even when the UK was in the EU you generally needed your passport to travel anyway, even under nominal free movement.

If the UK gov was doing shit like curfews, or travel checkpoints, or prohibiting access to transport or shops without vaccination IDs, there's be some civil liberty concerns about requring proof of citizenship to just live as a citizen, but this?

What's that Apple just banned your App Store account? Sorry no more festivals for you.
The government moved the 'trains' into the 'needed' column and you're on a waiting list for a vaccine? Too bad.

Build back better = the rich will pay a few percent more tax on their 'official' income because they need a bigger stronger government to keep you in check in your climate neutral tiny house where you work from home.

We're sleepwalking into a dystopia. NATO governments should invest in healthcare but instead they're investing in a police state because it's much cheaper and has added benefits like outlawing protests.
