  • I think the main difference is that American police will kill people. Correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t know anything about French police but my impression of European police is that they have less guns and trained not to kill?

    I’m not saying I’m right, it’s just a hunch. Rioting in the USA could put you in prison, life crippling fines, maimed or death. In ratio we imprison the most people in the world and our prisons are notriously inhumane. If you don’t go to prison then the fines and medical bills will cripple a person.

    We have instances of protestors sitting on the ground in unison while getting pepper sprayed to the face or even burned with hot gas canisters. Even when our police use rubber bullets they aim for the face. I think the usa is more fascist than france and that makes it very difficult to fight back.

    The only way I’d riot is if I was willing to endure our screwed up legal system. Rioters are usually labeled as violent antifa gang members and treated like enemies of the state.

    If those same people were waving the red white and blue and threatening to pillage the capitol, that’s cool.















  • Unless you can actually afford the ram prices, just play older games. There’s a ton of AAA games that I’ve never played.

    Then there’s tons of remastered games too. I haven’t touched those. Older games are affordable and run on max settings with any modern computer.

    We already have a life time of quality games and computer parts in circulation.

    I think when we look back at this time we will see how new games are optimized and intended to run on lower end hardware rather than the “look how real it is” formula.

    A good example is borderlands. Cell shading was created because it was aesthetically pleasing while also consuming the least amount of resources. When optimization and performance were no longer a problem, games like border lands used cell shading but still required all lot of resources.
