  • All I did was point out that no, the Steam Deck isn’t the best deal for everyone. Chill.

    But since I’m back here already, if you’re trying to sell me the Steam Deck as a Playstation 5 Pro replacement I’d expect visual parity with at least the regular PS5, at comparable framerates. Which I know the Deck isn’t capable of. It isn’t a replacement for a stationary console or PC because that’s not what it’s designed to be. It’s primarily a handheld, designed to compete with other handhelds.

    And I wasn’t going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won’t have to deal with “getting around” things, ever.

    Different people have different use cases which are best served by different devices.






  • What a load of bullshit.

    First off, the communists split from the SPD, not the other way around. Second, the communists completely refused to work with the (according to them) “social fascist” SPD. Third, the one alternative to Hindenburg in that election was literally Hitler and the other was Thälmann who, again, was as explicitly anti-democratic as Hitler. Fourth, Hindenburg did not immediately appoint Hitler, he did so only after Hitler had secured a majority in parliament (courtesy of the DNVP). Fifth, no, the alleged liberals (social democrats) did not cooperate with the communists because the communists were too busy trying to turn Germany into a second Soviet Union and were the only ones to vote against the enabling act (the communists having already been purged from parliament). The communists only made token efforts at reconciliation after Hitler had already succeeded.





  • Worth noting that the German system is horrifically inefficient due to being half-privatised and having dozens of layers of bureaucracy doing the exact same thing in dozens of insurance companies.

    And it still has holes that people can fall through and end up uncovered. Germany is not a good example for universal healthcare. We’ve basically coasted on “eh, good enough” since Bismarck and only made minor adjustments instead of creating something like a Federal Health Service.
