coordinating bullying with the intent of causing suicide is frowned upon
I don't think any trans people in florida are being blindsided by this (and certainly not now). People with no insight on the topic or very naive people could be blindsided
It's the town that's 80% black, not the mayor. Which is then put in contrast with the majority white town leadership.
It's wild how many people who do not have mods published on nexus/workshop/bethesda are happy to speak on the behalf of modders.
Old School RuneScape is a good pick. Great game and solid mobile client.
If you're okay with optional cosmetic mtx then Albion might be worth looking at too.
AdventureQuest 3D has a single class exclusively behind paywall, but it's a one-time fee. Beyond that it's cosmetics and crafting speed-ups for real money currency (which is also earnable from normal gameplay)
You had me until I read Thursday and Friday. No way in hell the real elon would be able to stick to just one day of the week for either. Otherwise a very convincing post.
any sufficiently advanced incompetence (elon musk) is indistinguishable from malice
the DDG browser can setup a "fake vpn" tracking blocker for your entire phone. Last I checked certain apps were excluded by default as the tech is quite new and some apps don't work right with it. It'll then give you an overview of how many tracking attempts it blocks for each app.
IIRC payday 2 had glacially slow progression at launch. Now what if you could simply pay some (more) money to skip those boring early levels this time around?

Keep in mind that this list contains both full games and engines for closed source games.
The offerings are usually a mix of premium or semi-premium games as well as your typical predatory games. They all have had every bit of monetization stripped out of them (no dlc, no ads, no paid currency). I don't think I've ever seen a mmorpg on play pass but there are many high quality games. If you setup family sharing you can share the subscription at no extra cost. Good discount for annual renewal too.
which will shortly change its name to "plus max"
Indeed. We don't even need to talk about EEE or past genocide enabling behavior from facebook. The lack of moderation of threads is plenty reason to defederate. My sanity is valuable enough that I won't see for myself, but it sure seems like "@libsoftiktokofficial" on threads is the "real deal".
the nft implementation in breakpoint was so bad that it seemed like it was missing the point on purpose. It was just different serial numbers printed on a helmet and the rarer the helmet the more play time you had to have on your account to actually wear it. So the nfts were barely unique, didn't look cool and you couldn't just buy whatever to show it off. Respect to the devs that managed to pull this off when execs asked for nfts.
The easiest way to break immersion is frustration. Not adding options to take color blindness into account does not add immersion for colorblind people because it's more like the real world or has less UI. It adds frustration and ruins any chance of them being immersed. What frustrates us is not a universal and static list of concepts, so neither is immersion.
Since the game is getting a rather big addition in a few days: RuneScape 3 is also not bad, but if you want to avoid mtx and p2w you have to pick the "Iron(wo)man" option when you start. This removes the ability to trade or use the auction house system, but in return all the p2w is stripped out (and imho the progression of your character becomes much better)
most of the f2p offerings are games with energy systems limit play. And in those cases you simply have unlimited energy, or the entire energy system is removed. For other types you have ever jigsaw puzzle etc that was ever available for the game. Sometimes you need to go in and claim the dlc and it'll then be active for you for as long as you are subbed (and as long as the game in question is part of the program) Usually the games that have heavy p2w and FoMo built into the core gameplay loop and mechanics don't show up. I assume it's because it would be way too much work to make the game fun to play and that they don't want to give people a way to avoid the monetization.
2 examples I can remember easily: The Battle for Polytopia has every single faction unlocked from the start. Titan Quest is based on the earlier version that only had the first expansion, so the 2 more recent expansions are for sale in the ingame menu, but since you have play pass you just hit "download" on them and get them.
I wouldn't expect to see a lot of clash of clans or raid shadow legends -types of game there, because "real money" is an important and significant resource in those games.
The amount of effort spent to convert the game to play pass varies, but in almost every game it's not a detractor.
I looked into it some more and it seems there was a "shady" script you could use to grant yourself any piece of paid dlc you wanted, so The Money People probably asked how they could ensure that doesn't happen again and just didn't care about the drawbacks for regular people.
They probably still do a lot of those, but recently they've been using opinion writers to create outrage bait with writings they should know better than to print.
In the last few years they have been willing to post a large amount of transphobic nonsense. To the point where early in the year almost 1000 current or former contributors signed an open letter complaining about the issue (and made a callback to the paper doing roughly the same thing with gay and lesbian people in the 60s through 80s)
beyond anti-cheat and "just came out" there's one more category that often doesn't work: not-new, obscure games.
Anything that isn't pretty new and/or pretty popular may need to you run through some hoops to get running right.
If you like jumping from game to game a lot, I wouldn't recommend Linux, but if you stick to a few and play them for a long time (and you don't mind the extra work it is to learn a new OS) I think it would be worth making the switch.
you may be confusing r/GayBros for r/askgaybros. Roughly the same size and spelling, but only one of them has a strong reputation for transphobia.
I do not. The "free" feature set is good enough for my needs.
to the best of my knowledge even after this ruling, you would still need to be sterilized to get your gender marker changed as the requirement of having genitalia that matches your preferred gender is still in effect. You also need to be 18+, unmarried and have no children who are minors.
the reviews used for the star rating is picked based on similarity to "you", so looking at the same app from different locations or from different devices will produce different scores. Still, 1.7 is extremely low
We have 1278 paid games that are included and 55 that are excluded from family sharing. Seemed to be mostly ubi, rockstar and ea games. Games that you claimed while they had a limited 100% discount are also excluded. The last few are live-service or mmo games.
"Family sharing" is now a feature listed on every store page. Same place as singleplayer, trading cards, cloud saves and similar. As far as I know no major changes has happened in which games support it, but that may change now that sharing gets more attention.
And I'm saying that there's very obvious transphobic statements still visible on the most obvious account to check. If facebook doesn't even bother properly clean up after libsoftiktok then I have no faith in their moderation of less overt transphobia from nobodies.
I need better reasoning than that to continue this conversation.
60fps complaints go back to the dark days of 360/ps3 ports where HD resolutions on the consoles meant high framerate was no longer a viable option there. Since AAA games started using console as lead platform pc became saddled with 30fps caps as well. It possibly happened even earlier, but that was the time where I started noticing it.
The Fitbit Versa series give me the vibe that this is where pebble could have headed if they hadn't gone under. Since Fitbit bought the Pebble estate I guess that's plausible. If you care more about health than fitness I would look into the Fitbit "Sense" series. They have most of the fitness options from Versa but also ECG and stress tracking.
No 3rd party apps, but they're pretty good on battery life (My partner's Versa 3 will last 11 days on a charge).
Imagine "roko's basilisk", but extended into an entire philosophy. It's the idea that "we" need to anything and everything to create the inevitable ultimate super-ai, as fast as possible. Climate change, wars, exploitation, suffering? None of that matters compared to the benefits humanity stands to gain when the ultimate super-ai goes online
He just chose to never learn the difference between "minority" and "marginalized"
Still waiting for the "to be announced" steam release date. I've tried getting into it on mobile twice, but it's not really the type of game I'm looking for on that platform.
I assume kotakuinaction is still around somehow as well.
It's been held back for a full year and the rumors/leaks from when it got pushed out of 2022 was that it was in about the same state as their games usually launch in, but the higher-ups were worried that someone would make a viral youtube compilation of bugs (cyberpunk being an obvious example) and have their flagship title turned into laughing stock.
IIRC spaceflight was something mentioned as working well but looking really jank, so they spent time fixing that as well.
I expect to encounter many bugs still, but hopefully nothing like fallout 76
if a mastodon instance was fine with hosting libsoftiktok it would swiftly be defederated for lack of moderation by a large amount of instances. No questions asked. No debate. Why is this any different? Do the rules somehow not apply when we're dealing with facebook?
You got me to click the link. There is still plenty of transphobic statements on that account, and they've been up for 22+ weeks. I very much doubt that nobody has bothered to report those posts, so I'll assume facebook is fine with a level of transphobia that is enough to make my day worse even by just skimming for 30 sec.
I can tell you definitively that yes, this debate hurts people. Sending the statement that it's a valid point of view to consider trans people mentally ill (or worse) harms people. If you look at how our existence is being debated and the consequences of that you would have to be very privileged to not see a problem.
