Last I checked it was conservative states that had dry counties and locked-up alcohol sections in grocery stores on Sundays.

I finally saw one and was shocked at how stupid it looks. It's like Elon had a grudge with babyproofed corners.

I was bitter about RiF but it didn't really sink in that I was not returning until I realized it was all just in bad faith. No point in going back somewhere that doesn't respect third-party apps or its own users. All the developments since then have made that very clear.

Thank you for being willing to protect this service when necessary, and improve it when able.

People have been remarking that numerous countries are unable to join PSN and this will lock them out of the game. But can someone explain to me how that could be true? Are they literally not on the drop-down menu for selecting your country?

I really loved OkCupid back before they sold out. They would share a lot of interesting data on their blog posts, and seemed genuinely interested in making successful matchups based on how your profile was presented to others. It was fun to be on there and didn't feel like you were just being presented for "dateable" you were if you didn't want to be.

I also met my wife on OkCupid, but that was just before the site really took a nosedive. Pretty annoyed they deleted my account without warning, so the first message she ever sent me is gone forever.

I think most Democrats would agree with you, but we can get back to actual political discourse after we prevent a literal Russian asset from attempting to remove the right to have discourse at all.

It's mildly interesting to consider how many people Trump has near-literally shat on just for them to open their mouths and say yes please after. Why not Pence? This can't be a spine, right?

Bethesda has put themselves in an awkward spot by promoting niche and deep RPG mechanics for so long, and then becoming such a AAA developer with entire keynotes dedicated to previewing them that they no longer want to risk making deeper complex mechanics because they're scared of "confusing" the base audience.

I want to say they need to take Starfield as a wakeup call, in comparison to games like BG3. But they don't need to, because Gamepass numbers are practically imaginary sales numbers, and we're just going to hear about how well it sold for the next half-decade.

/bonehurtingjuice exists on here, but it's like 1 post a month instead of an endless stream of stupid bullshit humor that hits just right.

I also miss being on a platform that has the community for whatever game I might be playing at the moment, from popular ones to niche-as-fuck. Even CDDA's subreddit is still more active on reddit than Lemmy.

This game has like ten difficulty modes.

This description is on point and completely brought me back.

Taking back "don't be evil" is around when I stopped liking Google a lot, but I do still tend to find that Google's products are the only ones that follow my way of logical thinking,, especially in options and menus, if that makes sense. Samsung frequently doesn't have stuff where I expect to find it... Sony's menus are nonsensical... Nintendo is constantly missing settings... Microsoft used to be better, but hides relatively basic shit in the name of "accessibility" nowadays... Apple's entire ecosystem is a joke, in my opinion...

Google's menus and apps just make sense to me and are almost always where I look for them. They tend to include most options for things I would want to turn off or on. Usually if you are in a place where you'd want a search bar, there's a search bar. Android is still very customizable using third-party apps, instead of just preventing them from working altogether and making you use it their way. I like all that.

I just got "done" (i.e. bored) with my last colony, this timing is perfect.

Implying that he'll off himself and fill a tub with his blood? Nice.

It's mildly interesting to consider that just stating the intent is the key difference. Not so much banning the mod as the modder, I guess.

Hey, I posted one whole cat picture. I'm a contributor.

I refuse to touch anything related to Facebook. I'm shocked that people would use Threads or Instagram for that matter.

Exactly. Nobody needs to swear fealty to the place they were born, especially politicians.

I played EQ in that era and I absolutely love playing Project 99... to a point. It ends up with the same problem that every older online game seems to have: all the veterans that never left act like they own the place, and take it way too seriously.

If I do go back to P99 it will just be to level a character up until I get bored. There's lots of essence to EQ that you just don't get in modern MMORPGs; mostly because content is difficult to solo, working with others makes your entire life easier, and everyone is struggling together. I've had so many good conversations with people while camping in Blackburrow and Guk and the Karanas and so many places. I recommend it to anyone for that.

Fuck spez, but even if he was a moderator knowingly, wouldn't the point of that be to... moderate it, so that it didn't have illegal content?

Not vouching for "legal jailbait" or anything.

Whenever I used to go out anywhere or do anything social, I'd always be constantly, quietly hoping that someone would come along and fall into my life. That I'd pass by someone that looked like they could relate to me, or that would try to talk to me, or be attracted to me. Anyone that would change my life for the better. It was lonely as fuck to constantly want something unrealistic every single day that never happened, for years and years.

Then I met my future wife, and I nearly forgot that pain ever existed.

If you like roguelikes and want to ruin the scope of all other games for you for a while, try CDDA.

My gamer brain is in shambles.

This sentiment in the current climate is stupid, but I do think the concept is inevitable. We didn't always have phones on us 24/7, phones are already somewhat powered by AI. So what will everyone having their own AI look like in a way that doesn't just sound like a chatGPT joke? What would make it a desirable future?

This game has like ten difficulty options. If you need the BFG on easy mode then you probably are just bad at videogames.

CD has been making videos of quality for 16 years and the only thing that's really changed is the YouTube resolution limit.

I don't really want to think about it being that long, considering how quickly I up and left as soon as RiF was supposed to shut down. Not relying on Reddit for Google results is practically impossible for me.

This is the exact thing that I expected them to implement, and the dealbreaker for me.

I originally justified the cost of Premium by changing from paying for Spotify, which kept letting me down with playlist limitations--a playlist of 500+ songs would actually only shuffle about 60. YouTube Music also has issues with prioritizing an artist's popular songs, but is much better overall.

We were satirizing this in 1964. People literally want regressivism.

Surprised he didn't mention Corruption of Champions, which really set the bar for indie porn developers.

Aside from TF2--and even that I got a bit bored with--most all of my interest in multiplayer FPS died along with Unreal Tournament. Doesn't feel like having fun is the goal anymore.

Mmm, my favorite flavor.

But how will they get more War Thunder clicks and irresponsibly point where fans can report people if they stop making YouTube drama?

The straight-up lies are what really get to me. Bullshots and fake-ass trailers for almost a decade. Hype for shit that was never going in. And now people just say "it's great, what's your problem?" like they want it to happen again.

I am potentially okay with this. The entertainment industry has been creatively bankrupt for too long. Actors will move to more independent work, more interesting and experimental content will get made, corporate will advance AI technology. Win-win?
