« Last post by Goth77 on Today at 04:18:36 PM »

Event - Bot Head Turn
Turn a bots head in a specific direction at a given speed

Originally by Darerd, this updated version adds an option to lock the head angle into place, preventing it from automatically resetting.
This version also adds an output event on the brick so you can do namedBrick > botHeadTurn

Games / Re: Nintendo announces successor to the Switch

« Last post by Ahead on Today at 07:18:46 AM »

what is that thing. does it even have games?

The Switch is already so outdated hardware-wise, and they won't even ANNOUNCE the next console until now finally, let alone release it. Are we sure the new one won't already be almost outdated by then? I'd imagine the successor has been worked on for a while, who knows how good the hardware will be by the time release hits.

most likely will be a gen or two of nvidia hardware behind (probably ampere), i wouldnt be surprised if it isnt that much of a jump from maxwell architecture just with DLSS baked in, considering their strategy of just using 4+ year old hardware and making the most out of that

You receive the dilapidated keyboard of a compulsive preteen video game rager. Many keys are missing, but the E and J appear brand new.

I insert an index card with a written date: "08/30/2017"

That is more precise, yes, but there are also a great deal of Christian Zionists here in the US who are applauding this genocide and claiming it as God's Will. (And some more extreme fanatics who believe that Jesus can't return unless Israel is allowed to complete these atrocities. I'm too tired to look up exact references on what the groups call themselves but something about Revelations or whatever.)

Anyways, I haven't been keeping as thorough a log of updates of the daily horrors the innocent civilians of Gaza face, but last night there was an utterly condemnable act wherein Israel dropped over 60 bombs onto a tent encampment in Gaza, an area known as Block 2371, host of a United Nations Relief Support Tent, where just four days ago, the IOF had told civilians they should evacuate to because it would be a designated safe area.

yeah, wow. that is just terrible.

It should be noted that Biden has said several times that there were "Red Lines" that Israel shouldn't cross if it didn't want the US to pull funding. Every single one of those lines have been crossed, and this newest horrific act has still not been enough to convince Biden that enough civilians have been needlessly slaughtered.

unfortunately his only expertise is sniffing people and talking about ice cream. don't expect he will do anything just whats been happening which is continuing to fund other countries wars while our own economy is in the stuff

Ok, but that could have been achieved by just saying "evil scum" or even inserting more specific language regarding the political ideologies at play here.

Imagine if this thread were also denouncing the active genocide also occurring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and you said the same thing but substituted "Jew" for "Black". You might have intended to specifically imply the forces fighting on behalf of Chinese and Western mining investment groups, but that is not at all what comes across from the specific words you chose to use.

okay u right, my language inclusivity was a bit too broad so let me narrow it down: evil jewish zionist extremist scum. hope that is better

So I know I should know better than to expect even an ounce of nuance out of anyone here but let me be more specific:

Yes, The State of Israel is a tribal apartheid settler colony. Good job acknowledging that.

However,

evil jew scum

is an inherently anti-semitic statement.
The moment you bring religion and ethnicity into the criticism, you open the floodgates for those dumbasses who equate anti-zionism with anti-semitism.

There is a large portion of Jewish folks around the world, including in Israel, who oppose the atrocities being committed.
It is hard to believe that you are so obtuse as to not see the difference between legitimate criticism and what you said.
