Whose fucking definition?

It's really hilarious how they create arbitrary "definitions" for themselves and pick and choose when and how to use them.

Have to put down people of developing countries? yea, you're from third world country. It's suddenly about standard of life, civic sense, and freedom.

Falls to fascism like it's just another weekend and lets police run like brown shirts, does very little when they build concentration camps and climate choking machines, now the condition for "first world" switches to "we're still 'first world' because we defined it"

Fuck right off with your made up definitions. You can self assign yourself whatever the fuck you want, doesn't mean rest of the world has to adhere by your "definition".

Couldn't original staff make a new game with new IP? Why exactly do we need to name a new game "Mass Effect"?

And heavily discounted at the moment. Does any of the money from GOG sales go to EA?

Didn't realize that there were already switch 2 emulators available. Sounds like they just dropped and were simpler to develop because the architecture is so similar to the original switch. Nice

The protagonist is Zelda, my guy. His man's is right there in the title.

That's not the definition of first world... Switzerland is a third world country by definition

Link? (The protagonist I mean)

You say they've flip-flopped, but I can't think of a time when they weren't anti-gamer under Swiney 🤔

From the GOG store page for Privateer2 (and presumably the rest of them)

Source Master FMVs - In 2024, the complete Source Master tapes were discovered by the game's original Cinematics Director. These tapes have been digitized and meticulously re-edited frame-by-frame to restore the over 100 FMV scenes, and integrate them back into the game.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions that I may assist in clarifying for you. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Did you even read the bloody article? It clearly says she.

Speaking as a programmer who is actively using them: Hah.

This is like those 'Nocode platforms will replace programmers' spiel and all the ones before it. You still need some specialised knowledge, guess what those jobs will be?

Also, wrong forum.

It’s fine here. It’s going to be directly tied to emulation which is PC gaming.

Yeah, most phones can call 112 or 911 without a SIM card, but apparently some networks still block them which is more than a little fucked up.

duck detective was such a charming little deduction game. a knives out style mystery from the same folks is an easy wishlist for me

I can't remember which show I was watching last night (tried a few of them and gave up on all cause everything is seemingly terrible nowadays).

But I commented because that thought specifically camemto mind since I watched them dial 911 exactly on the screen and press the green dial button and see the screen switch to "calling 911" or whatever it does which is what triggered my question.

Don't all phones can call 911 even without a sim card?

Anytime I see “language is always evolving” it’s always to excuse someone using language wrong

Evolution is “god be with you” turning into goodbye, not redefining a word to fit your definition instead 😭

For 911 calls, and most calls actually, they almost never show the screen of the phone being dialled anyway. They just show the actor tapping at the phone vaguely while the camera shows them from the side or the back with an intense expression, and then suddenly they hold it up to their ear and then they act like they're talking to 911.

And if for some reason they really do have to show the screen, they will just use a non-functional phone with a fake app or graphical effects in post-production, the same way they make ghosts and dragons appear and spaceships come crashing out of the sky, etc. A phone screen is a trivial effort to fake.

That's why he already said he's teaching his kids about avoiding the cops. ICE and other LEO's abduct people all the time, quite often extrajudiciously.

Non cop kidnappers arguably might do it less but are inarguably less successful at it than LEO's.

"First world" just mean the states that were America-aligned (so by definition, the U.S. goes here).

The "world" term is stupid and nobody should use it anymore (it implies that "third world" countries are lesser than America's allies)

Developing / developed economies is what more people use nowadays, and the U.S. would be classified as developed, though a binary is still not too helpful given there are lots of in-betweeens (the big elephant in the room, China, argues it should remain classified as a developing nation because, as it turns out, there is wealth inequality there too + billionaires taking too much of the pie, so a large chunk of people still live under conditions closer to developing countries, while others say that China should be a developed nation given they have the second strongest economy)

Yeah, I know. 😔I just hate pedophiles a whole extra a lot. You can’t trust government to even deliver the mail on time anymore let alone decide who gets capital punishment. I know. I get the disconnect between wanting some criminals to be tortured and live streamed and forgetting who would be charged with carrying it out. Sorry about that.

"First world" was a Cold War era term, where "first world" is America-aligned nations (so by definition, that would include the U.S.), "second world" was Soviet-sligned (no longer really in use since the Soviets no longer exist), and third world was everybody who didn't pick a side (so China after Sino-Soviet split, India, Brazil, etc.)

Most organisations use the more neutral terms "developed" and "developing", and the U.S. is definitely a developed nation (there are less binary terms that economists and such use to categorise even further that you could look into, just check the organisation who runs it since many can be biased towards certain things compared to others)

I mean, that’s only if you choose to continue to use the US only defintion. Part of language is it evolving, the words usage has changed.

It now, no longer meets the bars of “stable economy” and “high standard of living”.

But sure, continue to use an antiquated definiton.
