@lemmy.worldRight, but from the perspective of a gaming company CEO, it being a sequel is everything. You have to remember, these people are incredibly uninformed and shortsighted. Think of the dumbest person you've interacted with ever, and that's about as intelligent as the smartest CEO. They see that Baldur's Gate 3 sold well, and all they learn from that is that sequels are a profitable endeavor. They couldn't care less about any of the context that makes it a good game.
Tl;Dr of history of israel-palestine conflict:
Britain colonizes Palestine and makes it Israel
Israel recognizes this as kinda bullshit and willingly offers basically half the land to existing Palestinians and also offers full citizenship to any Palestinian who wishes to remain in what is now Israel.
Palestine refuses the deal, declares war on Israel
Israel kicks their ass, again offers a deal with less land
Palestine again says no, basically a cold war begins
Other Arab countries refuse to allow Palestinians to move there, also declare war on Israel and get their asses kicked
Terrorists begin attacking Israel from Palestine, especially from the West Bank
Those terrorists are elected to run Palestine in a free and fair election
Israel begins committing human rights violations against Palestinians
We've now been at this last stage for at least two decades, possibly longer but I can't be bothered to fact check myself on the exact dates right now. And yes, this is absolutely as short as the TL;DR on this situation can get, I'm 100000% sure both sides will get upset about details I left out even in this longer story.
Baldur's gate is the third installment in a decades old franchise that is based on d&d, a franchise that has been established for nearly 50 years now
Acting like common slang is somehow incongruous with "philosophical" conversation and voicing that opinion is hilariously hypocritical. I urge you to consider what it is about that language that upsets you so much and take some time to work on it. I use common slang mostly because the point is obvious and using big words makes people feel like the speaker thinks they are above everyone they are speaking to. I wrote out that entire long ass sentence instead of saying you sound like a conceited jackass because I know you edge from unnecessarily long phrases.
That's basically agnosticism. And it's pretty common among intellectuals, historically speaking at least
Yes but I follow rules 1 & 2 so the fact that I don't know how to start conversations with people doesn't matter, I get so many matches that eventually someone will put up with my bs and I can get laid
Adding onto what OP said, housing prices have literally more than doubled in the past two years, and interest rates were at record lows during that time, especially in 2020
Nah, it was pretty obvious. It's not his fault y'all are dumb as fuck. It happens! Just be happy you learned something today
