Lemmy has no total score anymore, so the up and down votes only matter in the topic layer. I think that's the best solution rn. There's no big incentive any longer to point farm.

Basically. It's a complicated economy issue. But lets say there's not just monetary debt, but also structural debt. Our infrastructure is old, a lot has to be repaired by making debts. But they refuse to, thing is, the bridges will collapse at some point, literally, if you don't build new ones. This will all come back to hunt our economy as no train will deliver, no truck will be able to use the highway as a lot of bridges are broken. Same with schools, you get less educated people, which then on average produce less wealth. In short term you save money, in the long term the world will move on without you. Every economist knows, a little debt is perfect as it works in sync with the capitalism we all live in. However the payment for the dept shouldn't outgrow the economy, that's the only rule. Making no new debts sounds good on paper, but no young person will say "thank you" when they grew up with bad education, a broken economy and an inhabitable planet. Now is the best time to make debts to fix big issues.

Thanks to not making any debts. It's all the infrastructure, I don't think a single one isn't about to break down.

Some people love compost, it's already half digested.

A sad and dark day.

That's why for buildings, minimum construction requirements and foreign investor stops are so important.

Ich weiß, sich über die Kontaktseite zu beschweren bringt vermutlich wenig, aber ich hab es trotzdem mal getan. Nur weil es ein Kommentar ist, kann man den nicht einfach so stehen lassen. Dann muss sich die gute Frau auch wenigstens ehrlich offenen Kommentaren stellen, aber nein, gibt's nicht. Einfach nur seine verkorkste Weltansicht rausblöken, finde ich für die Tagesschau einfach fehl am Platz. Genau so was gibt dann Leuten wieder recht, die nur darauf warten, sie als Propaganda Platform zu zerreißen.

A very positive but also very scary article. Less war is good, but non democratic countries can still force people to fight, while democratic can't as much, causing a power imbalance.

Yes, audio is important too. I've played games that had almost no graphics but nice music that pulled me in. I'm a bit strange on even overlooking flaws, as long as the music is fantastic.

In my eyes games are the peak of art. They combine clever game design, mechanics, image, physics, story, music and sound and more.

I enjoy good stories, I'm just rarely surprised by a twist or enjoy following long expositions. I prefer "show, don't tell". I prefer open world sandbox games. The more details, the more graphics, the better. I can create my own story if I want to.

A game can only give you so many hours before it becomes boring. Sandbox games aside, most are done after 100 to 200 hours. More content wouldn't really revive them as you already know the gameplay loop.

Graphics isn't as important as art style, however I'd rather play a game with realistic graphics but lack of distinguishing art direction, than one with art direction but overall being too basic with their graphics. Graphics is a huge part of immersion to me.

I play a lot of indie games with poor graphics. Best example Minecraft, but when I can install higher resolution textures, realistic lighting and animated foliage, it is eye candy. I can just stand there and look at the beautiful world and relax. I do need zero gameplay at this point and am still entertained.

Gameplay is overrated, give me pretty graphics. Be it realistic or not.

Yes finally people get it.

I'll write Elong to stop on Twatter.

It's just an Interstellar 2 ad

I just switched to Firefox to get away from Browser who prevent me from using an adblocker extension. sigh

It used to be Bro, but now the fratboys all say Bra. It's still the same type of fish as before. I've already seen Brie as newer form.
