Based on good laws and regulations in countries where the freedoms of the people outweighs the freedoms of corporations.

And it’s usually to fix some absolutely game-breaking bug…that only happens if you do MissingNo-level oddities.
- Comment on Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution? 4 days ago:
Every corporation has the freedom of speech (measured by profit).
Every corporation has the right to employ bearers of arms, including autonomous bearers of arms.
Every corporation has the right to the money of the consumers, be it through purchases, taxation, or some combination of both.
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 6 days ago:
I’ve done full-time work and part-time college and still had time for leisure activities. My work weeks were about 60 hours, before getting into errands and such.
I’m not a parent myself, but my friends who are parents have hobbies and we have social interactions and meetups. Sometimes with their kids present, sometimes without.
I can’t speak to your situation. Maybe you are incredibly busy. Either way everyone on Earth gets the same 24 hours per day. And while I was lucky enough to be born in North America, I wasn’t born into any sort of extravagance.
Plenty of people have to plan and schedule leisure activity, including gaming. And there are plenty of options if you only have time for quick bursts here or there. Puzzle games and turn-based games are great for that.
- Comment on Why are sites like Reddit so prone to downvoting people for self-expression or vulnerability? 6 days ago:
I find Lemmy in particular to be very much into using the downvote button for “I disagree” or “That’s not my experience” or “I don’t like this” or “they disagreed with someone who I upvoted”
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 6 days ago:
Yeah, and you said…
If we prioritized gaming, we would not have any money for the games and hardware or the place to hook it up and use it.
Plenty of people find space in their schedules for gaming. And based on your more recent comment, you probably do have other hobbies or optional activities that you find more fulfilling than gaming…which is great!
Some people game with their families. Some people find time for gaming instead of consuming other media like TV, movies, books, or social media.
If you prioritize other hobbies beyond gaming, that’s great if it makes you happy.

I guess I think the difference between being robbed and being killed is greater than you do.
I also don’t think “robbing” is the right word to talk about someone who made video games worse…
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 6 days ago:
“Prioritize” doesn’t mean putting it above everything else.
How do you think most gamers have money for games?

You’re accusing me of wishing death on someone?
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 1 week ago:
I don’t even know what you’re accusing me of doing, lol
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 1 week ago:
“actively robbing the poor” and “actively killing masses of poor people” are two different levels of evil.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 1 week ago:
Is it unhealthy to be gleeful for the death of someone who promotes and spreads violent and hateful rhetoric and got hoist by his own petard? This is different than being gleeful about the death of someone who is making a hobby worse in one specific company.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 1 week ago:
Charlie Kirk was okay with people dying from gun violence if it meant fewer restrictions on guns. He fought against minority groups’ rights. He was spreading dangerous rhetoric worldwide.
The Ubisoft guy helped found a popular video game company and was probably just a generic rich prick at worst.
The world is better off without Charlie Kirk. I doubt the world, let alone the video game industry, let alone even just Ubisoft, will get any better after today thanks to Guillemot’s death.
There’s a huge difference here.

certain rich fucks who are actively harming humanity directly (Hitler, Kissinger, Reagan, world leaders who send the poor to useless wars
Ok, so which of those examples was this guy most like? Lol

This is the first time I’ve heard “timezones aren’t fair”!
If those extra 15 hours matter, you could always move to New Zealand. Otherwise, it’s “safest” to play by the rules and wait until midnight. Or just wait until the next day. Playing exciting games after midnight can be bad for your health (assuming you’re not on a nocturnal schedule)!
- Comment on UPDATE: I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title appeared on another Steam game as they plan to release before I do. 1 week ago:
Thirdly, and I’m sure it’s just an oversight, but the description still lists your game name on his page.

- Comment on How do I unrot my brain from AI, how do I start using ChatGPT less and less, and is improv a good enough way to fix an AI-rotted brain? 2 weeks ago:
I replaced Reddit scrolling with Lemmy scrolling. There isn’t as much content here, so I did add reading to the mix.
This also reduced the amount of time I spent writing comments on social media. That’s a great win, imo!

- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 3 weeks ago:
Whenever I get a 3-day weekend, it feels like that’s how a normal weekend should be.
When I get a 4-day weekend, it feels luxurious.
Those 4-day work weeks are nearly as productive as the 5-day work weeks. Those 3-day work weeks are tight. But I could make it work if I really had to! Lmao

I feel like I could be running a locally-hosted LLM powered by renewable energy trained on open-source datasets and I’d still get angry comments from someone active in c/piracy
- Comment on To quote a movie: Why is it when a person in the military dies we feel some sympathy for, but if someone killed a mayor or senator everyone loses their minds? 3 weeks ago:
They took your use of “everyone” personally, I think

Lmao. “When I said broad, I didn’t mean broad, I meant notmal”. And you go around calling other people idiots…
- Comment on How were maps created back in the day? 3 weeks ago:
Why are you being this way? Are you usually like this?

What explosions?
- Comment on Is Korean phonology difficult? 3 weeks ago:
On the point of tonogenesis in Korean, that actually solves the tense consonant issue for English speakers!

Please step down from your high horse.
“Before tech” and “great granddaddy” and “local Trader Joe’s” are 3 different time periods. Sure they could’ve just chosen one, but it might not be what OP was curious about.
An individual who’s curious enough to ask the question would probably be curious enough to further drill down to a specific time period that they’re curious about. This could have led into good discussion.
If you want something that just tells you an answer and doesn’t question you or ask you to clarify, then you can use an LLM. If you want conversation, you can use Lemmy.

- Comment on Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it? 5 weeks ago:
(if i pay for it i might as well use it + more privacy)
I think you’d be paying for, but not using, your Internet bandwidth/speeds at that point
- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 5 weeks ago:
At a certain level of wealth, we should be taxing wealth quarterly.
Grant an exception for a single place of residence (sure, let it be magnificent, whatever, but only 1).
Wealth taxes can have brackets like income taxes do.
Also, more luxury taxes etc!
