I have a PC that can push 4k120, it’s overblown and a luxury if anything.

The Steam Deck is absolutely strong enough for “proper gaming,” whatever that means.

Lol at the Commie Cluster

Crosscode is great, the puzzles are brutal though, haha.

Disco Elysium isn’t for everyone, it’s mostly a love-hate-letter by Communists for Communists.

Love the characters, too. Super endearing.

Loving Crosscode right now, will hop onto Disco Elysium after that (finally).

For fall in general, I love S.T.A.L.K.E.R though and return to it regularly.

Fair, though that’s starting to change.

You can say anything about China and Americans will believe it, like that one story about exploding helmets

It’s not “almost every instance,” it’s largely Lemmy.world. hexbear defederated from some other instances, but most major instances are, in fact, federated with Hexbear.

Hexbear was not federated with any instances at all for years until about a year ago in the first place.

Capitalism in decline finds new ways to exploit to counter the overall Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall.

In Capitalism, wages are tied to subsistance plus replacement. This problem can only really be solved via Socialism.

Capitalism in action, wages will rise to meet bare necessities plus replacement, and fall to that level as well, regardless of productivity levels.

100%, and any attention otherwise is a red herring.

The day before we heard about a surge in energy among Republican voters, yesterday we heard there was no change between Biden/Trump polling.

These are entirely consistent.

At this point I need to hear directly from someone who was undecided before the assassination attempt, but now is voting trump.

Nobody is undecided this election, what is going to determine the way the vote goes is which candidate can energize their own voters more. After the assassination attempt, Trump has seen a surge in popularity among his voters, even if nobody is swapping from Biden to Trump.

America is not a mandatory voting State. Therefore, vibes are incredibly important. The narrative around Biden is that even if he’s supporting genocide and seeing (percieved, at least) mental decline, he’s not Trump. Meanwhile, Trump voters see their messiah figure surviving an assassination attempt and rising in percieved strength.

You fundamentally misunderstand what people are saying about the situation here.

Why are you assuming them to simply be ignorant, rather than disagreeing with you politically?

Anyone with an IQ above 2 realize that swapping candidates now is a 100% guarantees loss

Anyone with a pulse realizes that not switching candidates now is a 100% guaranteed loss.

The people who promote this idea are either massive dumbasses or alt right trolls

Maybe people realize that Biden losing support from his own pool of voters and Trump gaining support from his own pool of voters means we will see a repeat of 2016 at this rate, with Biden winning the popular vote and Trump winning the electoral college.

Not as much as promising to implement national bans on abortion, slowing climate change action, and implementing more “christian values” would among conservative voters, no.

Democrat voters have to hold their nose and vote for Biden, largely. Some people still genuinely like him, sure, but compared to Trump, who has a unified base and full support, the Democrats are fractured.

Doubtful that that will bring out voters. Historically, voters voting for something outperform voters voting against something.

By polling, I mean voter turnout, not which way voters would vote if they do vote.

It’s down to turnout, yes. America does not have mandatory voting, ergo whichever candidate can unify and energize their base will win. Centrists already know who they are voting for, proved by the link you provided.

Biden is seeing constant controversy among likely democrat voters, meanwhile Trump is the current GOP darling.

I really don’t see how the DNC can pull out a win unless they pull out all support from Israel and/or toss Biden and bring on someone younger, with broader appeal and higher energy.
