Genuinely baffled that Elizabeth Warren is cosponsoring this. She's even said she regrets sesta fosta. Lawmakers simply don't do their due diligence when throwing their support behind a bill, and its disgusting and disheartening.

I dislike, criticize, and will continue to criticize all billionaires. Including Taylor Swift. Yes she happens to be much more relevant at the moment. That does not mean people rightly calling her out are just hating because she's a woman and popular with teenage girls

Not really a big deal but it's funny that this variety article and all the other people reporting on this are using the same line of Francesca being from sex education when she's not lol. She's from bad education. It seems like so many websites are just copying from the same source and so they all have the same mistake

The title annoys me because team 0% did already accomplish their goal weeks ago. Sure it was anticlimactic, but with the rules set out for them from the get go, it was done when it came out tth was TAS.

Don't get me wrong it's absolutely amazing and so cool the level got beaten. But this accomplishment does not signify team 0% completing their goal.

Also I know it's just the title of the reddit thread so not annoyed at OP. And I'm only like pedantically fake annoyed lol

Not sure I'm seeing what's fucked up about this. It's not like they're using people's comments as their own work. They link back to this thread. It just seems like a place where they can dump a bunch of their own thoughts related to a topic without posting it here since it's not necessarily in line with this thread's topic anymore. And I thought it was an interesting read and appreciated them posting it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I honestly do love the game but like, this year was stacked lol. I had a blast with it but other stuff was better

The games already exist, but not on mobile. I'd agree if they were available on mobile already and then went behind a paywall subscription. If the games would never exist on mobile if Netflix wasn't paying for them to be there, then I don't mind as much

I've got an ad blocker on mobile and yeah the article goes on wayyyyyyyy longer than what you show there

"Intuit will appeal this groundless and seemingly predetermined decision by the FTC to rule in its own favor and is confident that when the matter ultimately returns to a neutral body Intuit will prevail, as it has previously in this matter," the company said.

Lmao

Really hope it won't be just in the EU but it seems likely to be that way :/

Because why would a random user not affiliated with the creation of the instance, therefore having no power over the spelling utilized in it, in anyway care

One of my best friends died in the 2015 one. I hate seeing this happen again. I really hope the toll isn't as bad this time 💔

The games are native on mobile. You need a sub but they aren't streaming

I mean I don't love either company but I'd argue Google is a much more shit company than epic lol

This article doesn't interpret the Berlin interpretation correctly. The things the article says are "must haves" are actually just "high value factors" as the post says.

This list can be used to determine how roguelike a game is. Missing some points does not mean the game is not a roguelike. Likewise, possessing some points does not mean the game is a roguelike.

So while some of these are deemed important to roguelike, it can be a roguelike without all of those things.

Now personally I think the debate over the genre is silly, and I don't think the Berlin interpretation is really accurate anymore. But to be fair to it, it does not say a game has to have everything on that list. Spelunky is a roguelike. Idc what anyone says. Just because it isn't turn/grid based doesn't mean it isn't a roguelike. It has most all the other high value factors, and a handful of the low value factors as well.

If you're talking about the whole thing with dolphin almost being released on steam, it wasn't going to cost money. They weren't trying to monetize. They were just trying to have the download available on steam

Sad about this. I know it's fun to hate on overwatch, but the idea of an esports league being city based was really novel at the time. Ive always enjoyed overwatch, and despite overwatch 2s monetization being absolutely atrocious, the gameplay changes I have enjoyed for the most part

Good mod tools

I understand your point but I don't think city based teams have to be a toxic thing. Fandom for any team can be taken to the extreme, and I feel city based teams give fun ways to entice more people to care and have fun with it. Also, I mean pretty much every sport entity is corporate. Can't think of any esport team that isn't extremely corporate, city based or not.

Well basically these games would likely have not been on mobile at all. Netflix is publishing them for mobile. If I had to guess, I'd say that Netflix approached these devs and offered to publish for them and provide them money for being on their service. For the devs, it's free money for something they likely weren't considering in the first place (porting to mobile). I definitely wish the devs would publish themselves (if they have the means) but it's not how it's happening unfortunately. And fwiw they are on the play store. You just need to sign in with a Netflix account when the game boots up.

I agree that the Spotify exclusive podcasts suck. However I am 99% sure reply all never went Spotify exclusive. The show just kinda imploded after the test kitchen series. I was listening up till the very end on normal podcast apps.

Is this just an image? I see no news story here

I mean porting isn't an effortless task to be fair.

I'd like to be clear I definitely do not prefer subscriptions to just buying it once. But really there are 2 scenarios here. 1. The game doesn't exist on mobile at all. 2. It exists and you can play it if you have a Netflix subscription. I wish there was more than that but tbh I feel like I'd pick 2. At least with 2 the devs get more financial support and some more people have access to these excellent games

I def do wish that these companies were able to publish it themselves so they didn't have to go with Netflix, I can agree with that

Pajama Sam: There's no need to hide when it's dark outside

Nope, brand new game

Maybe I'm wrong. And it does seem like the manager is probably passionate about it. But please correct me if I'm wrong since I don't know much about team liquid. I read the ownership section here and it just screams corporate to me.

Fair enough, but also team liquid has seemingly been around wayyyy longer than any of the city based teams. Of course there isn't as much passion and history. They've barely been given a chance. I mean I'm not that invested in esports in general, and I'm totally willing to believe city based teams aren't the way. But it's something I was more familiar with and got me, someone with 0 interest in reports to care a little when I saw my city had a team. Also, not a man btw

I'm.... very cautiously optimistic for the sh2 remake. I really do not like bloober teams portfolio (and I've played most of it). However, I feel like since it's not their own original thing, and it's being supervised by some members of team silent, it could be good....

If it's not good I won't be too upset as the PC enhanced edition is so damn good. But I've got my eye on it.

Overall though, yeah townfall and f are more exciting to me

I never claimed that her, her music, or her fans were treated the same. I absolutely agree that they are not. I had no ill will towards her in any way shape or form before recent news about her private jet usage and her rising to billionaire status. I'm a woman and I defended my cis straight friends who enjoyed her music against the ridicule they saw from other cis straight men in our group. Even if I wasn't personally a fan of her genre of music.

Yes I'm sure there are people who only call her out because she is a woman or popular with young girls. I think most right wing people (who this meme seems to be about) are more calling her out due to her more left wing views. However I still believe she should be called out. Even if people I disagree with are also calling her out.

I don't really think I took it personally. I was simply attempting to respond to a meme that seemed to be defending her, and I had something to say. Nothing in what I said had to do with her music or fans or the state of the music industry for women. It was simply about billionaires being a bs class that shouldn't exist.

Trying to make fallout die? He helped make a show that has done insanely well and brought the fallout series player counts to record highs. You can not like Todd but to claim he's trying to kill the series is hilarious

Why is this relevant? The article is about Palestinian activists fighting for LGBT rights for Palestine. Yes the rights of LGBT people in Palestine are not great .... But that's literally what this article is about, Palestinians fighting to make it better

Did anyone here read the article? Two paragraphs are about Queers for Palestine. The rest is about actual Palestinians trying to fight for LGBT rights. So many people here trying to dunk on how dumb it is to fight for this when it's the people actually over there fighting for their rights. Are you saying that shouldn't happen?
