Not saying it doesn't happen but I've seen this said a few times now, and have never heard of anyone who actually refuses to clean their arse. Have I just lived a sheltered life or what?

good news for developers means good news for players too so: good news all round

Starfield was 60 pretty ok hours on game pass, I personally have nothing against it, don't care about it much. But those who actually give a shit about The Game Awards: why? Slim list of nominees, several categories total bollocks anyway, judges vote worth 90% against 10% crumbs to the public vote ( see 'how are winners selected' https://thegameawards.com/faq )

Trying to make an “everything app” with him in charge just feels dystopian.

Trying to make an “everything app” at all, whoever is in charge, is dystopian. Given the conspiracy theorists' general alarm at new world order, one world government type scenarios it's a wonder he isn't pilloried for this by the same mad bastards who advocate for him instead. Maybe he is and I just haven't kept up

more likely he thought 'video nasty' was slang for porn (unless of course it was a joke)

blockchain verified proof that you own a link to the location of some unique slices of raw potato is as good if not better

dystopia is when you limit your child's exposure to pornography. wtf

is the other one less touchy?

this is fair but then why hold a public vote at all when it has next to no chance of affecting the outcome anyway?

Just as all US citizens are responsible for ongoing drone strikes etc

Yes, you're right. I was thinking of ports with very few changes from the original, bad kbm controls, no new graphics settings type of thing

if you want a 1:1 replacement for reddit like .world seems like it wants to be, cloning the interface (https://old.lemmy.world) and the subreddits (e.g. this one) then of course you you will find it lacking, it's the same thing but with only a fraction of the users. lemmy was not made for that, it was for disgruntled communists, you are on their turf

The word originates from the Tiananmen Square massacre

This part isn't right, it comes from the Hungarian revolution of 1956

I don't really mind bad PC ports as I play them with an xbox controller anyway and they're usually cheaper and better than if you bought them on console

the .jsm extension was made for this

To add to this, repeats with added sign language were (are?) often broadcast late at night because you were meant to set your video to record them to use as teaching materials. wasn't just sign language, a lot of the videos shown in school was stuff that had been taped from 3am

According to another poster above he was a baptist, according to them suicide is a sin although not an unpardonable one

40 years counts as quite a long time in american history i suppose

When I was looking for a new phone I gave up and bought a usb c dac/amp from Fiio. Ended up buying a phone from Sony which does have a 3.5 port (and sd card too) but continue to use the dongle anyway as it sounds better. Use it 2-3 times a week

tbf the fast-forwarding way you can skip dialogue and just read the subtitles without missing anything is one of the best things introduced in this game

Just tried using only Firefox and uBO, that link and the main page load correctly first time and on refresh. Checked with default filters only and default plus annoyances and both were fine. Do you have any other ad blocker / content filter running at the same time?

i guess you can't tell which metrics are tracked by which website but you can see the potential ones at https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

This is a pretty good example tbh. consider:

make a twitter account, you can see what's popular and tweet insults at celebrities

vs

make a mastodon account, you can use fedilabs to allow hashtag-following following the public feed of a remote instance multi-account with cross-account actions

Just because some authorities implement it poorly doesn't mean it can't be effective. i just looked up new york rent control and it says

To qualify for rent control, a tenant must have been continuously living in an apartment since July 1, 1971, or be a qualifying family member who succeeded to such tenancy. When vacant, a rent-controlled unit becomes "rent stabilized", except in buildings with fewer than six units, where it is usually decontrolled. In units within single and two-family homes, the tenant must have resided in the unit continuously since March 31, 1952, to qualify for rent control. Once the unit becomes vacant, it is decontrolled.[4][5] Rent control does not generally apply to units built after 1947. wikipedia

well then what is the fucking point? and rent stabilisation seems no better

Good suggestions here, I disliked Greedfall* and KOA as well, but found Dragon's Dogma so good that I finished it on xbox and again on pc. If you like playing for the story it's pretty barebones but the ending is great, and the combat and character building (+sidekick building) are better than anything else. it holds up pretty well for a 2012 release, but make sure to play the Dark Arisen version as it added easier fast travel. It is bound to be on sale as the sequel comes out in March

*Greedfall is much more story driven but you can't avoid occasional combat

It will most likely be called Threads

Meta going for the nuclear option

is this an elaborate joke

shit gimmick

it's never necessary

No. Getting off on abuse and degradation is despicable

Sexuality being normalised isn't a bad thing but have you seen the state of porn lately? the front page of any given porn tube site is such that you cannot have a wank in peace without seeing abusive 'taboo' stuff mostly around incest and women being spat on and strangled. I can't believe that this is some agenda being pushed, they produce this content according to demand. This is to say nothing of the even darker stuff with revenge porn and trafficked teenagers etc. Porn can be fine if ethically produced, the current state of it is fucked up
