TopicThe idea that older games were fully completed games is fake

I've never heard anyone argue that older games were more complete ( what is considered complete is up to the developer anyway).

I've heard arguments that games had to be less buggy at launch since the ability to patch games didn't exist and that games already came with additional content that would be dlc today, which is true.

"It [fake news] affects both the right and the left. It affects educated and uneducated. So the stereotypes of it being simply right-wing and simply uneducated are 100% not true," says Jeff Green, who is the CEO of Trade Desk, an internet advertising company that was recently commissioned by American TV channel CBS to investigate who is reading and sharing fake news online.

"On the left if you're consuming fake news you're 34 times more likely than the general population to be a college graduate," says Green.
If you're on the right, he says, you're 18 times more likely than the general population to to be in the top 20 percent of income earners.
And the study revealed another disturbing trend: the more you consume fake news, the more likely you are to vote. It's "fascinating and frightening at the same time," says Green.

The problem is that an omniscient god would be everywhere and nowhere at the same time, while knowing everything and all that will happen, so why would "it" appear when it's already here/not here?

I honestly think there may be a god, but it's not what we think of it like how some religions interpret it. I feel like maybe "god" exists everywhere but at the most tiniest form, aka, in a realm smaller than an atom. Or possibly there is no god and the universe is just state of being out of several states.

Think about it, why would an omniscient entity care about Earth when there are probably millions or billions of other sentient beings out in the universe of "its" creation? It's kind of a paradox.
Why would a omniscient entity need to be constricted to only caring about earth though if it's capable of being everywhere?

Canonically he's not benevolent. <_< He's supposed to be a scary and angry dude. Plus he also stepped back from the world and is leaving it in our hands for an undisclosed amount of time just to prove we can't function without him.
He's benevolent in comparison to the other gods that people worshipped around that time in that he desires relationship with his creation.

Gods in most religions seem nihilistic or they just function as indifferent machinations that don't really care about humanity.

It doesn't surprise me at all, Americans have been eating so much more meat than any countries and I think new generations and the older ones are making changes due to both ethical, health, and just preferences changing.
I think the steady rise in cost for meat products also has something to do with it. Meat is more expensive.

I do think game remasters are suffering from some of the issues that movies suffer from when they are remastered for newer releases, where these production companies change the color temperature which changes the tones of scenes or add ridiculous amounts of DNR.

It's just way worse with games because they can go in and change the actual elements of the game, but they don't try and match the artistic direction of the original.

No, what I'm claiming is they were fighting for their values, many of which were ignorant, racist, homophobic, etc but still better than genocide.
I'm sure most WW2 vets thought they were fighting for the democratic ideals of their country and protecting their families against a dictatorial alliance that could potentially take over the world, even though the application of those democratic ideals weren't reaching to modern perceptions of what they should be.

One person alone isn't going to fix everything. Who is to say she isn't also putting money into the movement to help get full change and police reform as well? Either way, Her money alone isn't going to stop cops getting off for murder, which is what the movement is about. She can help black people with that money, cops will still murder them because they're "scared". And if she did do that you'd complain that it was racist since she wasn't also helping white people, just like what happened in Oakland when half this board complained about a private investor giving the black community money. They can never win.
This is a shit take.

Using charity donations to buy multimillion dollar properties for your own personal benefit instead of going to improve schools, neighborhoods, infrastructure, etc. is a bad look.
