Game Pass is the same scam as Netflix was back then, and I'm not falling for it twice.

Netflix used to be too good to be true as well. 10€ a month for literally everything ! Now they don't even make blu-rays anymore and you spend more time looking up which service has the thing you want to watch than watching it, so people are pirating again.

I'll stick to physical games and GOG as much as possible.

I love reading a basic text article on the modern internet...

Not enough people for even slightly niche communities. Wanna talk about smash brothers ? 732 people, only 2 posts in the last month.

This is why people still use reddit on the side.

China bad. US bad. Russia bad.

All three can be true at the same time. (And they are)

Well written but incredibly obviously fake. I feel the impact is cheapened a lot by presenting it as a real story, where almost anyone can tell immediately it is not.

CloudFlare keeps blocking me, so I take their accomplishments with a grain of salt.

Their mitigation comes at the cost of legitimate users being blocked, despite correctly identifying the bicycles in 16 different captchas in a row...

If they could stop blocking real users at the same time they block AI crawlers, that would be nice.

Check your games on ProtonDB

The only games in my library that don't work are entirely the publisher's fault for blacklisting Linux in their anticheat, and it's very few games even then.

This is how protests work : they simply cannot arrest tens of thousands of people.

Publishers are cancer. Self publish whenever possible !

This may well be true, or false ; it is a dangerous thing to believe regardless. It will always be better for the world to believe we can improve it.

Real life people use Threads !? I guess that speaks more to Twitter's decline than Threads' success that the numbers are getting close...

Let this be a lesson : do not re-develop your game engine when it's almost done already.

You can't delay your game until it's perfect as if you were Shigeru Miyamoto. You need to get something playable with a solid base out the dole, and iterate with feedback.

Hope she has an adult-star ex from the south of England that she gets back together with.

Then that person will be the Sussex XXX ex-ex of X's ex-exec !

Non-fediverse social media is designed to be addictive because that's how the people running it make money.

Wait, how can YOU see it ? Can everyone access removed comments in the mod log ?

Anyway, good job finding it before I did ! I added it to the post.

Is piefed centered on communities instead of people, like Lemmy ? The reason I only use reddit-like social media is because I've never cared to follow individuals, but I do care about communities and shared interests.

Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don't think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.

I don't want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !

Pretty weird guy, honestly. Seems competent, but spends too much time complaining about other people instead of working on his own stuff.

Seeing as he explicitly states that he does not need fantasy women, I wouldn't expect Riker to ever use the holodeck this way.

On the other hand, he probably does use it to take real people on fantastical dates. So his history is probably clean, but the recordings (if they exist) could probably fetch a good price as wholesome porn.
