  • Ok I get the Microsoft hate… I’m trying to introduce my daughter to Minecraft because it’s a great game to just explore adventure and creativity. I own like 5 accounts all of them were username and password, and all of them paid for. But since they didn’t have an email address I couldn’t find most of them? I managed to get one back and it required the worst Microsoft account log in experience. When I finally managed to get into the game and be able to play it there was no way for me to do split screen.

    How the hell is there no native split screen. The console versions have it. I had to spend hours finding mods and have to open 3 different programs just to get the game to open and play split screen by running 2 different Minecraft screens, and even then half the time it doesn’t even work.

    It turned me off so bad I said eff it and found some platform games for my daughter and I to play. Of which there are few, apparently Nintendo owns the best ones, Sony with their astrobots. I was left with some hat in time game which wasn’t bad. But it definitely left a lot to desire.

    I guess I’ll have to check out it takes two








  • I’d like to see more statistics so I can argue the effect of this with more conservative people in my family. Unfortunately statistics like “deaths related to abortion laws saw 56% increase from 2018 to 2022” when Dobbs decisions was made in 2021 isn’t exactly a strong argument to show that this decision is leading to deaths and not related to the effects of covid.

    And before you argue with me, trust me you can’t convince them that a fetus isn’t a life. They will treat a fetus the same as a newborn baby. So unless I can prove to them that the law hurts mothers who want the baby I won’t convince them the law is unjust, and abortion = murder.

    I need to show increase in maternity deaths, unviable births, miscarriages leading to death, forced births leading to deaths. I need to show how this law actually hurts people who want children.

    This isn’t an argument about choice. The idea that a woman can terminate an unborn baby at will cannot be used as an argument here. There is no consensus that a “collection of cells isn’t a baby”. Remember that the same people who want to ban abortions also want women to have sex with a partner that is willing to have a child, unplanned pregnancies being part of that journey.

    I just narrowly won over that contraception should be medically available.
