  • Adding to slaacaa’s fantastic summary, “unites behind” might be a bit of a stretch; there are a miriad of ways to be in the opposition, and it’s not like the US where you essentially pick from two options (maybe three, but the rest is quite insignificant), but there’s like half a dozen parties opposing Fidesz, the governing party. Unfortunately, due to having vastly different approaches and opinions, these parties could never unite properly and there have always been some infighting between them, especially during elections, which doesn’t really give the best impression to voters. They have tried to unite twice already and both attempts led to another 2/3 majority for Fidesz.

    Now that finally there is another competitor who seems to have more support (while having about the same amount of ideas and plans for the future), these opposition parties are not all 100% supportive, further diluting votes against the current regime.

    It’s still slightly more hopeful than the previous times, because finally Tisza, the new party seems to have more supporters than the largest opposition party that still runs a previous, horribly failing prime minister’s wife.

    But saying that the opposition finally unites… Is a bit of a stretch in my opinion.



  • I had the same thought initially, and unfortunately it wasn’t just GTA. However, IMHO Diablo II Resurrected was an amazing exception, and I’m sure there are others. Plus, the OP’s question was probably about an ideal case and they wanted to know what people have been missing from the past.

    Realistically, I wouldn’t expect a decent comeback of Guitar Hero 3 for example, but it sucks that it doesn’t really work on Win10/11 anymore, and while Clone Hero exists, it doesn’t have the same “story” mode as GH3 had, with characters, milestones and such. Hell, you can’t even get “booed out”.

    Too bad that as you mentioned, even if there was demand, a random big company would just buy the rights, do some lazy upscale and sell it like it was gourmet shit.







  • At one point the same activity started ruining /r/animalsbeinggeniuses. Either utterly dumb users, or, more likely, botted accounts started spamming the sub with random animal photos/videos. Then, when I dared to point out that a sitting cat/dog isn’t just genius for simply being cute or by being able to jump far, I often got downvoted because bUt It’S sO cUtE, hOw CaN yOu HaTe CuTe AnImAlS.

    I stopped following Reddit content more than a year ago, but I’m not too surprised to see that the same is happening everywhere else.
