This will doubtless be removed for Rule 1 soon, but until it is: Maybe consider posting this elsewhere. This is not the right community.

The user is able to enter the rewind mode from the live game play using one or more controller inputs to view recent game play (e.g. rewinding, fast-forwarding, playing, etc.) and returning to live game play afterwards.

(Emphasis mine)

This doesn't sound like it's actually rewinding gameplay (as in like, Prince of Persia Sands of TIme style rewinding), which is what they seem to be trying to imply, but rather it sounds like it will just let you watch a replay of your gameplay to review it and see what you did wrong, which you can already do. I think all modern consoles (and Steam, etc.) have a 'Save last 30 seconds of gameplay' style feature. This is just adding a button to the controller to view that recording, from the sound of it.

No, they won’t.

There's certainly going to be change, just not the change any sane person actually wants.

I'm still going to question it. We're literally living through it and I don't understand it.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 49 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Well, they're certainly going to get change, that's for sure. I hope they're happy sleeping in the bed they made.

I don't understand how this many people see everything that he's done and said, and still voted for him. I just do not understand. I don't want to live on the same planet as these people, nevermind in the same country.

replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state

Yeah, well, incidentally, ranked choice voting was on the ballot in 2020. We had a sign out encouraging people to vote for it, and I talked it up to whomever it would listen when political discourse came up, but it didn't pass, so here we still are.

Voting should be an absolutely minor thing in the totality of your political actions. Join, start, or support a union. Find what mutual aids groups are nearby, and participate. Join protests. Pressure your local politicians. Support your comrades in their direct action campaigns. Build political power that is under your control, not the control of a system invented in the 1700s by a bunch of wealthy white slaveowners.

Totally with you!

Voted PSL, and yah, I am terrified.

Ah, you lost me. You see a problem, but you seem to be unwilling to accept that there are incremental steps to solving that problem, and the first step is to make sure Trump loses this election. If you aren't doing everything you can to effect that result, you are, to put it simply, fucking up.

To support the Democratic party is to actively decide to place less value on the lives of non-Americans

Netanyahu wants Trump to win, and with good reason. Harris might not have good policy with regards to Israel / Palestine, but Trump's is indisputably worse, if you aren't staunchly pro-Israel. Furthermore, Harris is better in pretty much every measurable metric including climate change, where Trump's "Burn it all down" policy would doom us all.

To be clear, if I was going to be a single issue voter, climate change would be that issue, not foreign policy, because if we fuck that one up, everyone loses.

It's cool, though - I'm sure the people dying in Gaza if Trump wins will understand that you couldn't vote for "better" because it wasn't "perfect". Your 12-16 year plan for change will surely make them feel better about their situation, when Trump is encouraging Israel to do whatever they need to to end the conflict quickly.

It's like that story about the family that moved to Russia and said "We didn't think it would be so hard to live in Russia when we didn't speak Russian!"

If you're a progressive leaning individual and still can't see why voting for someone who can actively beat Trump is the only option right now, I really don't know what to tell you.

You want to work to get third party candidates into other positions? Local government, state government, congress? I'm with you. All for it. Let's do it. But if you honestly think that this is the time to cast a protest vote for president, you either aren't paying attention at all, or you're being willfully ignorant. Or you honestly think there's no difference if Trump or Harris wins and if that last one is the case, then you are well and truly lost and I have nothing else to say to you.

A third party vote is a waste until the system is fundamentally changed. Rather than spending all the effort trying to sabotage the election for Trump, if all of the people doing this instead put that effort into promoting systemic reform from the ground up, we'd all support you, instead of thinking you're Russian propagandists astroturfing.

That's some master-class mental gymnastics. Go vote. Jesus fucking Christ.
