And to limit scrapers.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 day ago:
That’s a big red flag. Good news would say something like “we’re happy to announce a team of community ownership”.

Why are you trusting the word of random people on the Internet

So by this analysis, the state with the lowest cost of living is still at least $39/hr?
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 5 days ago:
Yup. In a regular racing game, if one person knows how to play, they’re going to wreck everyone else, and that’s not fun. Mario Kart is more accessible, and the items, it adds an extra influence element to the game.

They can take action in other ways, including publishing anticapitalist messages in their game.

I’m not going to bother reading the article, because you can both be anti-capitalist and participate in the system as it exists today. The developers can’t pay rent with good vibes.

That’s fine, sounds like it’s not for you then.
- Comment on Star Wars Jedi director’s new studio is making a Dungeons & Dragons action adventure 2 weeks ago:
Never played Diablo or any of the Elder Scrolls games? Even Baldur’s Gate? Those have all been very popular games based on D&D (some more closely than others).
- Comment on A Sealed Copy Of Fallout 3 DLC Is Selling For Over $2,000, And Fans Have No Idea Why 2 weeks ago:
Right. And that’s probably not what’s happening here. This is not important enough to actually read the article, but if it’s just being listed for sale at that price, not actually been sold, then nothing has actually happened.
Also, $2k is not enough money to need laundering.
- Comment on ‘One day I overheard my boss saying: just put it in ChatGPT’: the workers who lost their jobs to AI 2 weeks ago:
For a little while, the US considered using nuclear weapons for geologic purposes. It was never operationally implemented because it’s an objectively horrible idea, but at the time, nuclear stuff was the hot new tool in the toolbox.

- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." 4 weeks ago:
Much as I agree with the headline, this site appears to be entirely AI generated slop.
- Comment on Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal. 4 weeks ago:
That’s basically what happened here, except the guy quit his job long before he had an employment contract, let alone a start date.
- Comment on Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal. 4 weeks ago:
For a company like PayPal, I’m sure their legal team has written the offers in a way that they allow for this, and aren’t an employment contract.

I’m glad I don’t work a job where they give tasks as part of interviews. I’d want to invoice them for my work if they did.
