You can keep your fake-ass CGI gunshots to yourself, I will keep only watching movies where all deaths are real

An older version of the sins had despair/melancholy and vanity/vainglory. I think Sloth wasn’t in the list at the time tho…

Liz Truss says being compared to a lettuce was not funny
Reply in thread
Yeah, I’m laughing right now, and everyone knows that denying something is funny just makes it funnier.
The only non-funny thing about this is that I can’t keep lettuce from spoiling in my fridge for a week, dunno what those people did

Almost every problem in the world would be dealt with meaningfully if we outlawed billionaires.

Yeah OP needs to spend more time with poor people. People are no better than billionaires on average, billionaires just get all the media attention.

Dumb Q: How to manage sw licences?

I’m not in tech anymore but must comment that I work at a major company in a dynamic field with young, ultra-qualified, ultra-smart personnel that is not horribly computer-unsavvy but I still think I’m the only one in the whole company who opens IT support tickets via a system instead of caling, even though IT pushes the system and even though you get good support via the system and horrible people by calling

Disney’s Harsh New Reality: Costly Film Flops, Creative Struggles and a Shrinking Global Box Office
Reply in thread
Comics being super interconnected in big events is indeed not a Disney invention, and it makes sense for movies to follow that format. BUT both comics and the MCU initial phases only worked out because the heroes’ standalone comics/movies stood on their own feet. Disney fucked up when they started making interconnected movies without setup (Eternals, I liked it but no one else did) or making standalone hero movies that are clearly just there for a future mash-up (compare recent movies to first Iron Man or first two Captain America movies). Doesn’t help either that repeating the same formula for new hero movies over and over gets boring with time and today’s Disney (and overall mainstream movie market) is deathly afraid of creativity. When was the last time you saw a movie that isn’t a remake/sequel, adaptation, or documentary?

PC Gamer 2015: Let's stop calling ourselves the 'PC Master Race'

There’s a quite a difference in saying that about someone’s home country, which is a pain in the ass to leave, vs about a community people can opt into and which does not really shape their lives

Yeah let’s be honest if the PCMR reddit community had the chance to holocaust console gamers they probably would. Here in the Fediverse we’re more civilized and gentlemanly and accepting but I think the name is fine, no one will go nazi over it.

Fuck Reddit
Reply in thread
Yeah I can even understand the pressure/rush to monetize from the admin’s POV. But nothing justifies being dismissive of the mods/community that works for free to allow your business to exist, or the way they tried to accuse Apollo devs.

Yeah I join private trackers because they have freaky stuff you can’t find in normal places

I’m in the same boat as you were with Sekiro, might actually try AC and see if it helps. I did learn parrying recently playing Thymesia and Lies of P though, might help hopefully

Anyone else a little disappointed how the blackout is going?
Reply in thread
Yeah, just like in reddit, there’s no need to filter people out of the site… since you can just stick to the communities you prefer.

The actual win is if the Google algorithm starts to deprioritize reddit results due to communities being privated.
Edit: I can even see Google or other big techs pouncing on the opportunity to take the community for themselves, or simply using search deprioritization to drive reddit to the brink and buying it out

Is it okay to lurk reddit without engaging?
Reply in thread
Well they still get view counts / active-user counts. Not being logged in (or not having an account) helps.

I mean, it only has this basic web interface on mobile and it’s already much more intuitive than the official reddit app they’re trying to push…
