They’ll be great once the tech is better. Right now, genAI that appears in games is still pretty jank.

Sadly, I don’t see InZoi being a competitor for Sims for as long as the hardware requirements are so high. I’m still holding out hope that Paralives will be the saviour we need.

That’s kinda the state of the game at this point: not fun. And why I’m not fussed about the PC release likely going to be long after the console version at least. R* just isn’t a priority for me anymore.

You seem to be confused. This “You’re literally the first” was your point, not mine. I’m in no way claiming I’ve never heard someone say they like Korra so you’ve either confused yourself somehow or you’re willfully twisting the conversation.

When the Hail Hydra comes out a little too early so they call it a speech impediment.

Too late, my friend, the fans are coming for my throat 😂 I guess truth cuts too deep but I suppose this is the show that appeals to a particular mind.

Boo hoo, are your fee fees hurt?

It’s always the same with you Korra apologists. Ome negative statement is followed by a tirade.

That first half refers to the objective problems of Korra while the second is subjective but backed by the first.

totally unprompted

Sorry for engaging with the title. And no, not “because me”. People just don’t want to accept that Korra, both show and character, aren’t a good sequel. As a show, not bad but as a sequel it’s too wishy-washy. Trying to tie into a story, pissing on it and trying to appeal to a new audience allnat once just leads to a divided audience like this. I don’t dislike Korra, I genuinely like some of it, but I can’t watch it as a TLA fan because of what it does to the legacy.

Of all the hills to die on, trying to establish Korra as a net good is a waste of time. As for your attempt to dumb down my comments and make them seem more disjointed, well done, valiant effort. It shows how good an argument is when the go-to is to try tear down the opposition instead of pointing out where it’s wrong. Just tells me you have nothing. Have a nice day. I know I will because I’ll be spending it away from Lemmy and this wave of Korra rabids.

Plus, if it wasn’t for the blind vitriol, it might become apparent that the initial statement also refers to whatever the writing of the new show decides Korra did after the credits. If her actions caused the end of the world, for example, then it’s not slander to call her an idiot.

“So many” does not mean “the majority” in any capacity. You seem to be taking this weirdly personally and as for me being the first person you’ve encountered voice this opinion, you’ve either somehow avoided the conversation of TLoK online or you’re lying to defend your bias which, again, is kinda weird since I don’t recall saying the character or the sbow were bad, only “not good”. There’s still a world of nuance in that range.

Cool. It’s still not the general consensus though and I don’t understand why this is a hill so many choose to die on.

It’s only slander if it isn’t true and Korra wasn’t particularly good anyway.

Solid 6.9

The Netflix show was milking. This actually stands a chance of being decent.

Sure thing. But only as a friend, okay?

Who?

Certainly puts things in perspective between the haves and the have-nots, doesn’t it?

I wanna know who’s so disconnected from reality that they think everyone’s got a VR headset lying around.

While you’re using no evidence whatsoever to convince people they’re wasting their money. I know which one of these requires less mental gymnastics. What I don’t understand is what you’re getting out of your little campaign if you expect nothing out of the average internet-goer? Are you one of the Riseup leads looking for suckers to steal the data of? One of their advertising partners who farm that data? You clearly have some kind of incentive for all the bullshit you’re spewing. What I gain is making sure the less savvy don’t fall for it.

liliumstar explained why free VPNs aren’t a recommended option, not that they had any personal preference either towards or against Riseup but it’s clear you just read what you want to read, whether any of those words are there or not.

It’s also clear that your little advertisement… or war march isn’t being received well here. You can take that as some sense of misplaced pride if you want - as said above, you’ve made it obvious you read what you want - but any of us who know enough about VPNs to know how to identify a good one are also aware we can self-host one (for free) if we wish to and make the choice to pay for a service because we’ve identified the flaws of a free service.

It’s okay if you want to be some advertiser’s statistic, that is also your choice and what I expect from the average internet user. The rest of us ‘idiots’ will keep paying for a service we know we can trust instead of giving our private information to a company that has made it obvious they can’t be trusted.

So because their blurb is anti-establishment-inclined, we’re meant to blindly trust it? What about in 2016 where they willingly gave up user’s information because the FBI asked nicely? That doesn’t sound like a very secure service to my ears. In fact, it paints a certain picture that Riseup isn’t a no-logs service.

The reason we value a no-logs service so highly is because without logs, a service couldn’t snitch on a user even if they wanted to, even if the person(s) behind the company had ethical issues with what one of their users was doing with their service and decided they don’t meet the criteria of people who should have access to privacy while using the internet. A no-logs policy allows for an agnostic service. The inherent risk of true privacy on the internet is that someone is going to use it to break the law but does that mean a singular person or entity should have the right to decide whether that person is entitled to privacy? To me, that sounds a lot like the antithesis of what Riseup’s goal is. Are you going to keep advertising them knowing that?
