The only reason I’ve never canceled is because I’ve never subscribed.

But I wish I had something to cancel in protest of the egregious 1st amendment violations.

Lemmy hasn’t yet calcified from corporate takeover, this makes it similar to younger reddit, and I argue better.

Better. Not way better.

There’s a certain degree of toxicity and messiness that simply comes with interacting with the general public. I’m not sure how one can build a system open to people, yet simultaneously not open to flawed people.

I’d argue it means dopamine, suggesting it’s only permissable with the desire (and consent) of both parties.

Because we live in a world where it’s easy to block offensive words, so much so that the powers that be like to pretend that blocking talk about the 'cest is somehow an effective tool in combating it. (When instead it just coins an endless stream of new words that act as synonyms for ‘the bad words’. 'Cause funk you. Funk you to heck!)

Missed opportunities:

• that German guy who wanted to be an artist
• Trump as a weeb

I don’t need the tool giving me its opinion. I usually use alternativeto.net to find more open alternatives, but if someone has tried open source and is looking for proprietary solutions, doesn’t hurt me to see all options presented reasonably fairly.

I’m not confusing your point about a bad comparison. I’m confused on your point about it being a bad comparison because I disagree. I believe they’re comparable. If there’s a reason they can’t be compared, perhaps you haven’t explained it as well as you think you have?

I asked about your values because I believe you are trying to to make a point about the economics of large vs small studios, and I want to understand. So rather than imply I was insinuating something (language that suggests I understand you, but am being willfully subversive), could you actually answer what was outright an attempt to understand your point?

Why do the back-end costs matter to the consumer? I do understand the difference between the two and that’s what makes the original meme funny.

Big development team ≠ valuable game

The argument implied here is that because more money was poured into development, the value of the game is higher.

It’s putting the cart before the horse. The business logic on display by the studios is that they deserve a profit for the investment of making the game, and they have a right to charge more because they paid more to have the game made. That’s just … not true, or at least shouldn’t be the logic of the consumer. A game is only worth the value it brings to the player (which is of course subjective).

The argument being made here is that the $1M fancy character creator and it’s dev team CAN be compared to the work of a handful of sprites by an artist - and the fact that the value is either on par or in the small artists’ favor ought to be seen as damning to the larger studios.

To you specifically, @FreddyNO and regarding complex character creators specifically: do you really see value in them? My experience is that they’re something I do once at the beginning of the game, but usually within a couple hours I’m wearing enough new equipment to all but fully conceal every choice I made … save perhaps overall skin-tone; plus in most 3rd person games i spend most of the game looking at the characters backside whereas the c.creator focuses on mostly the face. I get that a good character creator adds cost and complexity - but are you sure it really adds value?

I personally am waiting for the OLED handkerchief.

Computer monitor with multiple simultaneous 4k displays?

Summer in Arizona feels like what I imagine living in space feels like - sure you can ‘suit up’ and temporarily endure the outside if needed, but radiation will immediately start saping your strength. Life is about going from one environment with life support (“AC”) to another environment with life support.

Thinking for ourselves is just so much work. Share, repost, repeat.

El título de la publicación es “We all had one”, la broma es que este es un artículo doméstico común

El comentario principal de los padres es “We did not.”, es una protesta de que de hecho no poseen una plumbus.

Entonces @[email protected] vació su cajón de orina por alguna razón.

Creo que puedo haber perdido el hilo aquí, en alguna parte, pero espero haber ayudado.

Post title is “We all had one”, the joke being that this is a common household item

Top Parent comment is “We did not”, is a protestation that they do not in fact own a plumbus.

Then @[email protected] flushed their piss drawer for some reason.

I think I may have lost the thread here, somewhere, but I hope I’ve helped.

Yes. As someone who uses both, this is a M$ problem.
