Oh sweet, it's dot.com 2.0. Grab your popcorn, it's time for the internet to implode... again! Never ever underestimate shareholders' willingness to self-destruct a product for short-term profit.

Remember; It's never been about protecting children. It's about controlling and punishing women.
You know a game is going to be good when half the industry cries and shits its pants and begs not to be held to its standard.
You rightoid fuckers HAVE NO POLICIES outside of schadenfreude and bogeyman flavor of the month fearmongering. Conservatives are incapable of governance, and a lot more people are finally catching on.
Wow it's almost like people's tolerance for ruthless exploitation isn't infinite. Hollywood's disgusting parasitic grifters can get fucked.
The 'Switch 2' having a camera for literally no reason is extremely on-brand for Nintendo, so I kind of believe it.
The 'trust thermocline' occurs when an organization repeatedly takes their customers for granted, and they reach a critical point of 'no trust return' and just leave. Essentially, if you gradually provide less quality while charging more money, you erode trust- and if you lose trust, you don't actually ever get it back. See: Twitter. And possibly now Reddit. Great term, I love it even, but I hate that the lesson these people are learning isn't 'hey maybe we should stop pissing people off without good reason' and is instead is "this is acceptable risk and we should continue playing chicken with dissatisfied users to make our shareholders happy."
History has shown us that there is only one solution to Fascism. Maybe it's time to remind them.
I deleted my Reddit account. I almost exclusively browsed on mobile and I won't be caught dead using Reddit's useless official ap. Hi Lemmy.
Last comment was deleted so it bears repeating: Taking the "high road" gets no one anywhere. And I for one am happy he is publicly losing his dignity, when he has gleefully played a major role in robbing others of theirs.
Maybe I'll disable AdBlock if you get rid of unskippable ads. What's that, you're not gonna? Then I'm not gonna.
Jews are generally cool people, and I'm friends with just about every single one I've ever met. Israel is a racist state actively and gleefully committing genocide. It's pretty annoying that Israel constantly using antisemitism as a shield effectively forces all criticism of Israel to immediately and preemptively justify itself as not being anti-Jew. You can, in fact, hate Israel without hating Jewish people. It's tragically ironic that Israel ended up becoming a fascist state committing ethnic cleansing when Jews are the most well-known contemporary victim of genocide. But Israelis themselves seem perfectly fine with the hypocrisy.
I'd rather not imagine it. There's an entire population of failed men who lost the chance to ever make something of themselves when they decided to make idolizing rapists a part of their identity politics.
I don't really care for the man but I will vote for him over any shitty neocon fascist.
Dumb hate-obsessed freak. The sooner she vanishes permanently from the public eye the better.
I'm going to be real- I enjoyed BotW and TotK enough, but I don't see them as traditional Zelda games and it actually pisses me off that Aonuma has come out and said we will NEVER get a traditional 3D Zelda ever again. So the success of the open-world Zeldas is the nail in the coffin for the games we actually grew up loving. The death of the open-world fad can't come soon enough, most of these games are nothing special.
I think I've grown past enjoying Bethesda's wide, shallow ocean design philosophy and bare-bones dialogue trees. There are simply better RPGs on the market now.
Red state shithole being a red state shithole. Remember, they don't want to abort babies because they'd miss the chance to torture children for their entire lives.
Doing my part. It ain't much but it's honest work.
I refused to use this cancerous hellsite long before its 'fall' what makes you think I want to use it now?
Would be sick if we could pull a Looney Tunes and saw the fucking thing off from the rest of us. Let it float away and sink into the Atlantic.
Looking forward to Russia becoming China's shittiest vassal state.
If those Russian barbarians didn't want to die they'd fuck off out of Ukraine.
Is this how you make Cabbage Patch Kids?
No you're right. They've given up fundamental human qualities and are therefore less than human.
Ah yes, the FEAR CAKE.
Rest in piss. "Got out at the right time" is underselling it.
People who cry the loudest about cancel culture hate it because it works. Sorry. Maybe don't act like a clown and people won't shun you.
I have never paid for a single Blizzard game. I have never played a single Blizzard game. I have never been given any indication I've made a mistake.
Not a particularly surprising sort of capstone to finish off this whole stupid NFT thing.
Imagine still using reddit.
Love how hard they're leaning into the inherent bizarro world aspects of the Mario universe.
I mean the Switch is no masterpiece, it's just the perfect storm of good games and accessibility that people crave. If that continues, it stands to reason the successor to the Switch has a chance to break the curse. And is it really a curse? The Gamecube fucking rocked.
So what is the solution? Rolling over and dying as Israel genocides them in slow-motion while the rest of the world looks on and shrugs? Hamas is a putrid, evil organization, but the Palestinians have no other options. No one gives a shit what's happening to them.
I will never create and subject a human being to the world our negligence has created.
Evolutionary cul-de-sac.
As someone from West Virginia I'm stunned we didn't make the list. McDowell county is hell on earth. The northern part of the state really does hard carry the rest of it.
I'm happy to see Russia collapse in my lifetime.
Oh cool daily Twitter news updates are on Lemmy too. I have never had a Twitter account and I will never have a Twitter account.
It astounds and amazes me that there was a time Elon could have feasibly been considered a smart, level-headed entrepreneur. The whole submarine thing with the trapped kids really was the beginning of his unraveling. I for one thank Elon Musk for proving once and for all to even the most shameless corpo-apologists that having a ton of money doesn't magically make you smart or cool. The dude's an idiot, and I love watching him self-destruct.
