It shut down last year, but it was also run by Mail.ru. Probably not something you want anywhere near your devices

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
Nobody here is saying Chinese authoritarianism is good, they are mostly pointing out that this op-ed is really, really bad and does not understand the technology, or pointing out that your post history/quality borders on racism. That doesn’t mean they are pro-authoritarianism, it just means they are pro well researched, quality posts and are already tired of the anti-China spam thanks to past accounts doing the same thing
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 3 weeks ago:
In that case my original advice might be the best. Try doing some of you other hobbies, and then re-evaluate after a couple weeks. I’m guessing you are not in the US, but the weather is getting better in the northern hemisphere. Try finding something to do that gets you out of the house. If you still want to play games later, you’ll find the time
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 3 weeks ago:
I go through waves. Sometimes I don’t want to play games at all, and during those times I do some of my other hobbies/activities. Summer especially I spend a lot of time outside. I would advise against spending money to try and fix what just might be a temporary thing. Not to say you shouldn’t buy a SteamDeck if you want one outside of the fatigue, just don’t let that be the only reason.
How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment. School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people. Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.
- Comment on Why you should be polite to AI 3 weeks ago:
Apologies if I come off as upset, I am not. I don’t feel I was even a target of those comments. I was just pointing out that some of those folks might have come out swinging due to the perceived tone of the original comment, and calling other people names does not help that situation. My real hope was that they would be a little more careful with their words since tone hard to convey in text, and using words associated with people that more often then not are not acting in good faith can convey either aggressiveness or just outright trolling
- Comment on Why you should be polite to AI 3 weeks ago:
Use of the word “trigger” is the key part here. It is most often used by right wingers just trying to piss people off (“triggering the libs”). Starting off with that and then commenting on how people are “sanctimonious” for expressing valid opinions are what tell me you were less than open to an actual conversation. It has nothing to do do with the post itself (though I tend to agree she really doesn’t say anything of value) and more to do with how you are going about interacting with people like a right wing troll. Hell even in this comment you end with a common right wing dismissive phrase (virtue signalling) that, again, tells other people you don’t want a conversation
- Comment on Why you should be polite to AI 3 weeks ago:
Now look at the comments in here, a bunch of sanctimonious people with too much appreciation for their own thoughts and a lack of any semblance of basic behaviour.
Is there a word for a sentence that does the same thing it describes?
There is no reason to denigrate people because they don’t agree with you or don’t like the nature of LLMs/generative algorithms. It really feels like you came looking for a fight (“I know the title will trigger people”) and trying to dismiss folks that point out this does not fix the fundamental problems with LLMs

Anarchy is not the precursor to feudalism (and even feudalism as a concept is hotly debated among historians). That statement is also incredibly Eurocentric. The reality is there was a large variety of political and social structures around the world. Hell, just look at pre-colonial Native Americans and the huge variety in culture there
-
You are defining anarchy differently than a majority of people. And fine, whatever, but you are going to get in a lot of pointless arguments because you are coming at it with the incoreect notion that anarchy means chaos. Especially on a heavily leftist platform that has a lot of anarchists.
I recommend doing some reading and getting caught up on modern anarchist ideas instead of spouting that kind of nonsense. Hell, look into some anarchist societies and see what they are/were about. Also note that most of the non-extant ones are so because of state violence against them.

- Comment on Tesla Stock Is Plunging Again. It Could Drop for a Ninth Straight Week. 1 month ago:
You mean Boeing’s screw up. They were the designer/manufacturer of the capsule that had issues. Plus Musk has very little if anything to do with SpaceX engineering or operations (Gwynn Shotwell is in charge of operations). Mostly he just does “Funny” shit like telling engineers to make Starship more pointy.
- Comment on My Scammer Girlfriend: Baiting A Romance Fraudster 1 month ago:
That was well worth the long read. I especially appreciate the rules of engagement including not going after identities, but techniques. So many “scam busters” tend to target individuals under the guise of getting to the larger organization. That has always weirded me out since it ignores the fact that a lot of those front line scammers are probably just desperate for work and are not the main beneficiaries of these scams.

Keep Driving has had a lot of my free time. Semi emergent narrative, with rogue lite elements and semi Oregon Trail elements. Amazing soundtrack, great art. Just all around fun game.

Atomfall is compared to STALKER in the article refernced in the first paragraph. This article is just stating the author disagrees with his coworkers original assessment

Not that I don’t think Doom isn’t a good answer, mind you. There is a reason “Can you run Doom on that” is a thing
- Comment on The most influential video game of all time - BAFTA 1 month ago:
Oh cool, did not even know about Monster Maze or Catacomb 3d. I’ll have to check them out. Monster Maze looks more survival than shooter, bit still in that vein for sure.
- Comment on The most influential video game of all time - BAFTA 1 month ago:
Wolfenstein 3d can out the year before and I believe was the first. Still id Software, just slightly predates Doom

Exactly. All they have is nostalgia to sell. That is all most of these big corpos have anymore.

Good they rolled it back. Feels a bit like go for what you want and see how folks react, then have a plan for rolling it back.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 2 months ago:
I’m not too concerned with that. If I don’t like the best in the series, then I probably won’t like any of them, but I am OK with that. A lot of folks are saying HeartGold/SoulSilver as better starting points, so I went with that. Got it emulated, so no real loss for me if I don’t like it.

I played the Beastieball demo, and it is a ton of fun. The combat is tactical volleyball, and is pretty satisfying to play.

Excellent. Sounds like a great place to start. Thanks!
- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 2 months ago:
I have never played a pokemon game (except Go). I don’t have nostalgia for pokemon, but I would like to play. I am down to start at any point (I can probably emulate for any platform I don’t own). Where would folks recommend I start?

You have the original commenter confused. millie just said if you were spamming patch notes, you’d get a block
- Comment on Marvel Rivals Version 20250214 Patch Notes - Steam News (February 12, 2025) 2 months ago:
That is a much more reasonable take, for sure. I would do the same, and probably go one step further and ask mods to step in.
In this case I don’t think OP is spamming patch notes, they just found this on interesting.

lol, what? This is a general gaming community. Also, that implies people can only post about games you are playing, which is such a wild take
