He’s one of the richest yet divisive billionaires in the world who is putting his foot in the door in regards to social network, electric cars, and space travel, what did you expect? “I want to know about technology, but I also want to ignore this huge elephant in the room shitting on me.”

The problem with dystopias is that they usually focus on taking one line of thought to the extreme while we are moving down multiple ones.

Do you know what secular means? Google it, then tell me. Tell me while you sport a religiously obsessed username.

Online games are different because you control the hosting and the service has much higher upkeep. Don’t try to apply the same shenanigans to single player games. Also pissed me / pisses me off that they started doing this Borderlands 2+

But then they say,

Despite the massive backlash and more than a decade of memes, Horse Armour DLC’s popularity was proven by the wallets of gamers. While Bethesda was being flamed for releasing the paid content, the numbers don’t lie, and gamers were actually very interested in paying for the DLC

Their main market focus is on whales now. They make it very clear, they see the Horse Armor DLC as a success story.

I don’t know how people there are like me, but I have forked over a lot on TES:O that I will no longer ever fork over again, and I regret having fueled their foray into single player. I will not preorder TES6, and I will have to wait for discounts to begin applying to their new franchises. As someone who was deep into TES lore, I will no longer care about TES6’s monetization or their attempts to tie into and guide players into TES:O.

But whales… Whales never change.

#ThatsThePoint

The problem is at the source of Abrahamic religions, so being only concerned about one particular subset says a lot.

Say what you will about him, but he still links to the videos he reacts to, allowing me to immediately click on them if a recommendation for his reactions ever pop up. I think our monkey brains still try to look to see the reactions from the group (hence karma scores) to determine how to approach a topic, and they fill in the void that is absent in streaming platforms. So now, we have more personality cults than ever before and the hidden agendas that try to subvert them to their interests (Cambridge Analytica, now Emerdata, only one example because only they were brought to court).

Still, opinions aside, reaction videos should be forced to share revenue with the original content creator. And if its supposed to be criticism, they should learn how to do it without reaction videos. Only the platform can really begin to do this.

Oh, wait, they have genocide built into their religious books now, do they now?

“From the cities of these peoples which YHWH your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not let anything that breathes remain alive. You shall surely annihilate them (haḥărēm taḥărîmēm) … just as YHWH your God has commanded you so that they may not teach you to do any of the abominations that they do for their gods, and you thus sin against YHWH your God” Deuteronomy 20:16–17

Oh, yep, nevermind, I can see it, carry on.

If they are not rechargeable, they don’t make sense, you just use them and throw them in the used up recycle pile. And if they are rechargeable, you already have a charger that does it.

All reality is perceived, and people’s perception of reality can be stupid. Stupid perceptions lead to strong emotions based on stupid.

I’m not pirating, I’m merely copying data without involving license transfers and subscription platforms.

With Elon Musk already having as much influence as he does in space exploration, it probably will be.

That is definitely not good. A saying among the legal community is that a lawyer that represents himself has a fool for a lawyer. If he is going to stand up to Nintendo, he should at least be crowdfunding for a professional legal defense.

That there are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are s’s in your entire comment.

The problem with moon landings isn’t that they can’t be done, it’s that they are dangerous as shit, with little reward. You’d get a better deal out of being sent to a remote desert island.

AI: “Be more responsible.”

Them: “… No.”

I think we need to live sexually, morally, and politically repressed like in the good ol’ times. It made it easier to control and indoctrinate people during the growth of empires designed to serve themselves and their pyramid scheme like structures. It’s why we burned the satyr plays. I’m just going to say it, if we are going to shift as a subservient and servile class under our billionaire oligarchs, we need to be twice as repressed as we are now, not more “liberated”. Who made the best servants? Eunuchs, that’s who. Also, please make more babies, we need to feed the feedback loop we have going regarding population growth and our economy/wars. /swtf

People complain about Russian troll factories, but hey, they are helping develop a reddit alternative so they can’t be all that bad.

I can see criminals easily exploiting this default behavior to stop the car and steal from those inside.

Where’s a Johnny cab when you need it, it knows how to deal with criminals.

A lot of those emulators, specially the SNES ones, make games better if not outright bearable. There’s a lot of games that I could not have completed without spending an absurd amount of time on them without saved states. The Nintendo games out there aren’t even exceptionally good, there are plenty of indie alternatives if people give them a chance. It’s biggest plus is that the brand does act in a way many AAA publishers fail to do, an assurance of a basic degree of quality fun.

It’s possible but reddit isn’t the only one looking for engagement, so are individual users. If a site has more users, it has more engagement and content. It is also not impossible to drop the lemmy name when you do go back there to make people aware of the alternative.
