I never beat the game but I’ll always remember using Red5 in star wars dark forces 2. And the level skip code of course… “Deeznuts”

They also had “kaching” or something similar instead of rosebud in Sims 2 I think. But it was only 1k or 5k unsure. Motherlode was much more ye

Living in Florida I feel it’s more common to see publicly. Recently join a “Walk for Heart Health” type event and it started with the national anthem and pledge. Local army ROTC high schoolers also came by a did… some form of rifle performance. This all was to “kick off” the event and most people had hands on their heart type stuff the whole time. Not to mention the city has “Land of the Free” flags on all the light polls in that plaza and it was interesting just HOW MANY people in florida wear those 1776 shirts or the “F around and find out” shirts still.

So admittedly, during my entire onboarding process they mostly focused on the ability to get an education paid for through the company. You only need to stay an extra amount of time if you go that route or something similar. Buuuuuut.

When you look at people who have been there more than the 2-3 year mark. There are a lot of people there who genuinely feel like it’s the closest they can be to helping the “war fighter come home safely”. We had many meetings and slogans involving this. They are so fanatical, I actually almost got fired once for tilting a framed photo of a soldier once in a hallway. Anyone that is salary either is waiting to get a better job/pay or genuinely loves the military industrial complex. Also they tend to hire veterans a lot. They will adjust job requirements for veterans. Know a vet with a FORESTRY degree that ended up in engineering. The military experience is usually a substitute for formal education, its listed on a lot of the job position postings. This kinda helps reinforce the amount of pro military people who hang around.

Hope this helps give insight and makes sense.

It actually is surprising how much the industry can end up growing doubt into the illusion they brainwash you with. I had my awakening while working there. Yeah a job is a job and with a family their livelihood comes before my pride. But there is a union, so worker solidarity and spreading awareness when applicable can help bridge the gap.

Sorry for late response. I’m still working on my education now actually, I worked as only a electronic assembler I was never there for a career, just needed money. In fact quite a lot of people get there education and leave there due to the nature of the work making a sizeable portion of people uneasy. My sympathies for anyone who has to swallow their morals or pride and just get the job done for the paycheck, all while hoping for better days

As some who has been a lowly employee of this company. The type of things people say, especially officials, where they openly get off on selling weapons of war… Just horrific. I have know some comrades there but the level of unreasonably homicidal rhetoric is at an all time high… Ughhhh

I also am hoping for more Gamedev groups. r/gamedev is shut down so my only hope is a community growing fast on here. the discords are… ok but not what I’m looking for. And I’m off reddit now so nothing on there will work for me.

I’m pretty sure mine is available but I still opted to use a period and birth year. That said I have/had many fake name google, yahoo, and AOL emails so I’m a mixed bag.

It’s about god dang time, especially with the FPS drops it used to have when it got busy perhaps we can see MGS4 buttery smooth now.

May the very hand of Stalin himself guide your shot into enemy armor!

I grew up late to the early internet days as I am just about as old as google itself. However, even in my time I remember light saber mouse cursors, neo colored backgrounds, the stupid but adorable fairy animations all over myspace, and websites auto playing Queen songs. There was character that we put it as a community.

While I may not be the biggest fan of the flat design of the lemmy website and how clinical it all seems, the FOSS nature leads to so much customization with apps and so forth while the content y’all produce is absolutely magical. If I see an ad I know it’s cause one of you have something unique to actually show off and it’s not just bots pushing me to open my wallet. Thank you, you lovely bunch of adorable dufuses.

Mixed bag but no cut ties is the best outcome from my perspective. Plenty of new people who can actually see opinions that challenge their worldview so its not just a hugbox, I don’t want those often toxic arguments here on genzedong itself, but on Lemmy.world having liberals see obvious communists who are lgbt, friendly, poc, etc will help soften their assumptions I hope.

Its reddit community used to be a more accepting leftist space with a lot of queer humor. But over time the Libs slowly got worse. I remember when I first joined it felt like it was run by actual leftists (mostly baby leftists and anarkiddies but still) The first “kick tankies of of r/196” wasn’t as well received as this one…

So when Ukraine war broke out they got… So much worse. I have no hope for the instance tbh and am glad they banned me, if only for 3 days as apparently I’m only a borderline tankie lmao. We have our own 196 which is much better tbh.___

With the mass of redditors leaving Reddit it’s no surprise that the federation map has so much red around us. I only hope lemmy.world keeps us federated because they feel very much like the link between worlds for me. The users are a mixed bag and full of “RED FASH” libs, but having a community that is large and can decide for themselves by visiting and observing us/our users is much better than this de-fed stuff. Much more in the spirit of FOSS and etc also.

I couldn’t reply to message in a community outside of Lemmy/lemmygradand was so confused… Till I found our you can check modlogs and WOW there are a lot of people in that modlog blanketly banning “tankies”. I’m actually upset I got banned for being a “borderline” tankie. Dang it I wanted the full tankie ban what is this shit.

There is nothing about the core ideology of Marxism Leninism that is opposed to queer rights. Actually there are a lot of queer people in the community at large who are communist and findable on YouTube or Lemmy. I’m one of them.

I’m not here to teach everything and I trust you know enough to be able to look up more as you wish. If you want an example of an ML nation that is pro queer look up the Cuba Family Code changes made recently. They’re among the most progressive in the world and help to guarente rights for trans people, lgbt, and more. Additionally China has a large trans healthcare clinic first of its kind recently opened in Beijing and a well known trans TV host. Vietnam also has a vibrant lgbt community and even in North Korea homosexuality and cross dressing to my research are not criminalized despite lacking public interest/support.

The days of old are over and new communist nations can and are doing better to ditch reactionary tendencies especially around queer rights.

I get you’re trying to make a big point here about China, but within the last 3 years they opened a multidisciplinary trans healthcare clinic in Beijing and additionally a well known TV host in the country is transgender and this is easily findable even within US new sources. It may still not be culturally fully accepted but I don’t see how the government is doing anything against us when they’re literally opening trans healthcare clinics. Hell there were trans expat teachers who used to move to China for teaching before the changes in education laws for expat teacher licensing.

So does it look like the rest of Blajah zone is safe and just 196 went ultra-reactionary? The mod on there has gone super anti-“tankie” the last 3 days and I had originally had homes for that group, but it seems like all of it is going downhill… I hope that the admin keep us federated at least
