Not all Christians are Catholic. A fair number of denominations were created specifically because they didn’t like what the Vatican was doing.

I don’t believe all critics are unqualified or unhelpful, just that the barrier for entry is so low that any “critic review” shouldn’t facially be held as more valid than an average consumer’s view.

IMO the worst reviews tend to be from large gaming journalism companies. There’s a lot of systemic problems with them like crunch, people writing reviews on genres they don’t have experience with, nepotism, and them inflating the scores of AAA titles so publishers continue to give them early access allowing them to release reviews in time. These aren’t all necessarily the fault of the writer of each of their reviews, but do degrade the credibility of the review.

Sticking with games there’s good journalism that comes from independent reviewers, like Dunkey, but they’ll typically have a specialty in a particular genre. My general go to is usually reading Steam user reviews, but only taking to heart those voted most helpful that actually give critiques and praises. Independent critics or user reviews in my eye have the great benefits of not being beholden like large studios.

Someone did a great breakdown comparing user and critic game reviews and outlining the gaming industry’s issues in this video: https://youtu.be/YGfEf8-SNPQ?si=

Off of digital media entirely Project Farm is probably one of the best out there if you’re looking for tools.

The funny thing about being a critic is it doesn’t actually require any qualifications.

At least in the USA no. You can destroy a firearm with a hacksaw. Here’s a figure with approved forms of destruction. Note the width of the white lines represent removed material.

As others have said for the most part with the advent of interchangeable parts guns don’t get beyond a state of repair often. Some probably do go to landfills but they’re metal and metals tend to be one of the few materials worth recycling. Other might be parted out if their damage is isolated to a few parts.

I’m unaware of any federal law on the mater (not really their jurisdiction) and check your own local law, but probably not. If anyone has a citation otherwise I’d be interested in reading it.

It’s a minor thing in addition to what everyone else has pointed out but led parts helps with trouble shooting.

Fan not moving, but lit up? Your definitely getting power to it.

The UN is like the Michael Phelps of creating resolutions that involved parties won’t recognize.

Good. Lemmy, like Reddit, is fundamentally user driven platform. The most important thing for the life of it is people making posts.

I third this. It is an excellent no hud game because of all the diegetic elements, like the physical map or the filter time remaining being shown by your watch. Lots of games will have ui menus you have to go through. Metro doesn’t.

It broke skse. Rip

Is black market olive oil a big issue for the average Spaniard or Italian?

To be fair some new stuff has happened in the life of the guy the movie was about.

You don’t own digital media for the most part. When you ‘buy’ a movie digitally you’re simply purchasing a license to stream that movie at home.

Sony can’t go into your home and take your DVD. Sony can sign a contract with the IP holders of Mythbusters that allow them to sell licenses for it. The contract that Sony and the IP holder make can stipulate that they can’t stream it to anyone who had previously paid for it after X amount of years if they don’t renew their contract.

When you buy that Mythbusters license from Sony in the TOS you’ll likely find that there’s likely text reflecting this reality.

TLDR: You’re not buying the movie you’re buying a license to stream that movie from Sony so long as they have a deal with the IP holder.

LIS holds a special place in my heart, it was the very first character focused game I played/actually paid attention to while playing. Really beautiful game.

The ban would take effect in 2027. It seems the idea is that upon it’s passing they would simply stop raising new dogs for meat.

It seems the whole point is adopting a currency they can’t print more of. Because of the ‘print more money’ thing doesn’t seem to be solving their inflation issues.

I’m not sure India has the positive relationship implied with China.
