  Because instead they just outright deny the claim and pay nothing. It also works against them if people start to realize they can get cheaper care elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the issue is that AAA still hasn’t learned how to manage and produce passion projects, which most great games are. They keep wanting to use what’s working elsewhere with no regard for what makes sense in their own game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Joysticks still drifting is an embarrassment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, time and a sale it is, then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess me and my several thousand borderlands hours are not a real fan then? The games weren’t worth $80 even when they came with goodies. They’re not worth $80 without the goodies. I’ll just wait for a sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but the problem (at least for me) is that I was simultaneously going nowhere and running out of places to go. I legit wasn’t sure how to progress literally any of the opened quests and felt like nothing was getting done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reasonable, but you’d be fooling yourself to act as if forums will meaningfully replace Discord for most users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this called?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really want a poncho/ruana style thing to wear casually, but I just cannot seem to find one with a style that really tickles my fancy. I’ll wrap random blankets around me shawl sans brooch style, but they’re not really the style I’d want to go wear out and about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m normally at least moderately excited for nintendo’s release lineup. This time, though… it’s neat I guess?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They already have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, inflation happened, and purchasing power has not grown or stayed the same with it. People can’t afford as much, so rising prices on entertainment are going to sting even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I’m interested in seeing more about the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He thinks the president should hire/fire anyone they want, but they dislike the people the president has been choosing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All? Unlikely. But some? A lot harder to say. You’re asking for an opinion-based prediction at this point. I think they’ll probably eventually try to get the most outspoken critics, but I also think that’s a good time to not go silent. You get organized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on play and replay, it seems to be either Payday 2 or Borderlands 2.

  Payday2, especially if you have tons of builds and DLC, is a fantastic brain-off mob shooter where you can slightly improve/perfect your build and gameplay with each run. For some reason it just works for me.

  Borderlands 2: fun guns; solid story; visuals and mechanics that mostly hold up today. It’s just a good time and another skill-tree builder game where you get to feel like a god if you’ve assembled your skill tree right. The NG+ modes are a bit of a slog, but playthrough 1 is just a solid time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, they are lucky to have me. Instant access to me via phonecall is not one of the reasons, but that’s fine because they don’t need instant access via phonecall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it’s still sad to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been fairly blatant for a while now. Theseig heil is coming out now that they feel they’ve won. The goal is for the US to fall this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s honestly fairly level headed for anyone. Make sure your loved ones aren’t making dramatic and life-altering changes without being sure they want it? Seems reasonable to me. Especially for a topic that is largely a muddled mystery for the average person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner bell is going off⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Occasionally my partner will do that too. I’ve had it happen to me, like, twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Short answer is “propaganda”. News agencies against immigration will pretty regularly swap between “illegal immigrants”, “immigrants”, and <insert current target race here> as if they’re practically interchangable to build whatever narrative they want, and also to slowly build an association between ‘people of <insert race>’, ‘being a drain on society’, and ‘being here illegally’ to get the average person to side with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  2 years to maybe do something, 4 years maybe to maybe do something better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the big “issue” is that there’s a notable lag between loss of goodwill and loss of income/profit/value, and there’s an even bigger lag between trying to fix goodwill and returns on that. It makes it too hard for any profit-first company to get right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Platformers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is the big contention point. In a world without a need for jobs, AI would be a neat alternative method of art generation, and a fascinating advancement of technology as a whole…

  but UBI is not yet real and jobs still need to be had. Without some form of life-securement for those who provided the art to be trained off of, we’re just using tech to really fuck people over. It’s definitely a moral grey area - very dark grey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to mention not washing your chicken, but the comments nail it. Don’t wash your chicken, the bacteria just spreads around your kitchen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And actions/motions needed to be exaggerated to fully come across.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A fake Nintendo lawyer is scaring YouTubers, and it’s not clear YouTube can stop him⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bruh nintendo seems starkly opposed to getting even ok at modern networking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there anything Lemmy has more/better content for than Reddit and other mainstream sites?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel you, man. Like, I appreciate what Linux is for, but the Linux content here is extremely blind to the average user’s use-case. It makes it hard to take suggestions and input seriously.
