- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 4 hours ago:
Even if 1/3 of their subscribers cancel they still come out ahead because of lower infrastructure costs. i doubt they are going to see a 1/3 reduction in subscribers, so capitalist exploitation and enshittification will win again.

I have some bad news for the new owners.
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 4 days ago:
I stopped using them a long time ago. Since they don’t seem interested in moderating their own forums in the slightest, Valve should really shut them all down. The Steam forums are such cesspits of hate speech, bigotry, and toxicity that I actually feel dirty every time I buy a game on Steam. That is not okay.

- Comment on should I apologize to this friendly manager I had an argument with? 4 days ago:
I’m a leftist and I have nothing against managers. I have been one. There are lots of people who have no business being in any position of authority or responsibility, and those are the people we all have problems with, not the job or title.
Yes, apologize. Extend an olive branch. If she’s one of the genuinely great people who have found their way to management, then show her some courtesy and it will pay dividends for both of you. Generally speaking, being courteous, empathetic, and constructive is always the best first approach.

And that is the tip of the iceberg because Seneca could have put together a series-worth of hate quotes from Kirk. He spent years and years spreading hate, fear, and stochastic terrorism.
- Comment on New Arizona law to restrict online porn access; Pornhub will block state 1 week ago:
Which is ridiculous if you think about it. The whole point of a website is that the visitor goes to them. Unless their servers are located in a place that place should have no jurisdiction or authority over them whatsoever.

- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 1 week ago:
That one universal linux is Fedora, or OpenSuse, or Debian, or Pop_OS. Take your pick.
I recommend Bazzite to gamers. If you primarily play games, there is no reason to look at anything else.
If you want more control and like to experiment, try one of the above distros I mentioned. I like Fedora and constantly come back to it, but any Linux with KDE Plasma is going to be fine for most people. I am very excited for the upcoming version of Pop_OS with the Cosmic desktop beta. There is a strong chance that becomes my go-to once that releases, since it has the good parts of Ubuntu and none of the bad ones.
Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu are the only ones I tell people to avoid. Also, avoid Arch until you get really into Linux and crave complete control.

As a user of the internet and telnet in the 80s, this was also the case back then. But also, sharing the entire sources and sharing knowledge the primary use.

- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 1 week ago:
I was trying to figure out whether it was a complete experience on its own. @missingno@fedia.io clarified that it’s a remake of the first game in a trilogy. I was concerned it was being released episodically and I’ve been burned on incomplete episodic releases too many times.

Thank you, that’s what I was trying to figure out. I’m guessing that the worst case scenario is that I can play the originals if they don’t remake the sequels. I think I’ll pick this up. I could use a good story-based single player game.

I saw this on Steam but the “1st Chapter” subtitle is a red flag. Is this a remake of a complete game or a partial release like the FFVII remakes?

I see your account is brand new. Whether you’re a Russian or Chinese operative, a MAGA propagandist, or just extremely gullible, the Fediverse is probably not the place for you.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 2 weeks ago:
They were always going to blame it on the left. Facts don’t matter to rightists, only keeping control of their followers. All of Lemmy called it the moment the assassination happened.

The game is grossly overpriced and infected Denuvo malware. Those things are all symptoms of Randy Pitchford being involved. I’ll pass.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 2 weeks ago:
This assumes that men ever lift the seat. I’d prefer it be left up so that there is at least a chance I can sit on a dry, piss-free seat. Lowering a seat is preferable to the alternative.

- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 2 weeks ago:
I find it interesting that you touched on the contradictory compartmentalization trait of authoritarians without actually grasping the meaning of what you were trying to quote.
Your own arguments are full of such contradictory compartmentalism, which is quite telling.
- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 2 weeks ago:
there is no workable “definition” of fascism that’s remotely useful.
Untrue. It has been described and defined in great detail.
- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 2 weeks ago:
There are two things you should read.
The Authoritarians by Dr. Bob Altemeyer
To summarize, they do not use any genuine definition of fascism or any other word they wield as a pejorative. Words are weapons that mean whatever they want them to mean. At the same time, the fascist/authoritarian control scheme requires the nurturing of a fear of violence. This fear is irrational, but at the cycle continues and escalates to real violence - particularly among radicalized rightists - it is used to reinforce the fears, which are carefully directed toward the desired out-groups. For example, jews, minorities, immigrants, queer people, and “leftists.”
To summarize further, they are terrorists.

I got enough enjoyment out of it for what little I spent a lifetime ago. I go see whats new every couple years, which is usually quite a lot. The game is still a disaster, but it’s a strangely interesting disaster.
