- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
I couldn’t find reviews. What I did find was a 5 star based rating system which is not the same thing at all. With steam reviews the text is more relevant to me than if they did or did not recommend the game.
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 1 week ago:
To be honest, the games are too for me to enjoy as games, but the story? Its great
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 1 week ago:
I don’t think so, because If I remember correctly:
When Bungie was bought by Sony, they specifically included in the contract that they get to make a Marathon game if Destiny 2 reaches certain goals. So they aimed for a marathon game for a long time and specifically included that in the negotiations. Beats me why they would do such a poor multiplayer take on the SINGLEPLAYER franchise that is fondly remembered by fans.
- Comment on internal docs show Pornhub had 706,000 videos in May 2020 flagged for child rape or other problems, often not removed until flagged 16+ times 2 weeks ago:
No, because they provide different services.
To explain with an analogy:
The streets and car producers are not responsible if I drive to the British museum to look at stolen art, but the museum itself is most definitely responsible, even though they themselves didn’t steal it but it was gifted to them. - Comment on internal docs show Pornhub had 706,000 videos in May 2020 flagged for child rape or other problems, often not removed until flagged 16+ times 2 weeks ago:
As soon as you want to earn money with it, you are most definitely responsible for it in my eyes. At least when people tell you annoy problematic content on your platform.

Thanks for the post, I always enjoy reading about people finding the real life inspirations of stories. And your pictures definitely invoked memories of Arcadia Bay bubbling up again. =D

What rebounding are you talking about? The Dow Jones is at a currently stable 10% lower than 1 last month. I don’t exactly see a rebound there, except the short high some high hours ago, which then decreased again.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 month ago:
Thank you for explaining my point in more detail. They charge more because they can, correct.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 month ago:
That would only be true if you ignore every other part of the price calculation. For example because the numbers of sold consoles are much higher than in the past, more people are buying the games, leading to more income for the game development cost, leading to the same prize.
See? By ignoring every other influencing factor I can also argue the complete opposite of you.
- Comment on What games other than Smite have a lot of pantheons (beyond Greek and Norse)? 2 months ago:
They obviously meant the Chinese add-on, which recently was released for the Remaster. The original Chinese add-on was only released 2016, so not even 10 years ago.
- Comment on Suddenly I'm not allowed to do something I've been doing professionally for 18 months now. Is this something that benefits me? 2 months ago:
No idea about your specific legal posthorn, as it heavily depends on where on earth you are.
But what sprang immediately to my mind is that it sounds highly illegal if the manager is indeed right. So regarding the “benefiting you”: have a talk with your old manager about somebody telling the control instances of your profession or maybe they could help making the transition easier for you…

I’m playing Team Fortress 2 since 2010. So it’s not hard to reach high numbers if the game is old enough, which some are.

OK, I thought it was just female form of the chili habanero and didn’t question it further, thinking you meant she is fiery.
Nice one then, even if it was far over my head =D now I appreciate your joke even more after reading the lyrics. Heads off to the dedication!

Okay, for me the racist and general far right stuff is the bigger problem with Notch.
- Comment on Everyone look! I got a picture of the Rosetta Stone 4 months ago:
I think it is the stone from the back. You can see more people on the other side of the stone and also with phones out to photograph it.
- Comment on What is a community you like and would recommend to others and why? 4 months ago:
I like video games, but not the newest, shiniest AAA title, but rather the smaller and older gems. Therefore !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works is a nice community since I also like to read what other gamers think about their favorites.
Another recommendation is !historymemes@lemmy.world where PugJesus often gives an explanation to their meme. Thereby you learn and laugh.
- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 4 months ago:
The loading times did get better! I think a lot of people who complain either forgot or never player old games on original hardware. I remember minutes long loading screens. What we have now is so much better than the past. Imaging playing a Dark Souls game and waiting 1 minute each time you got defeated. That was my experience with one segment in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 4 months ago:
But… That is a disguised loading screen. The ones everyone complained about as well. The game has to load the data at some point. So either it’s completely being removed from the game via a screen or something like “boost me up” or crawling through the caves like in the new God of War.

- Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that? 4 months ago:
To play gods advocate, good isn’t an emotion. Good is a state of being, that could be defined and then other things can be judged by that definition to be good or not.
Subjective? Sure. But no emotion needed for subjectivity.

- Comment on Noble gases 5 months ago:
Interesting but not surprising that it differs. In my case it was mostly due to one seminar tutor, not a professor.
- Comment on Noble gases 5 months ago:
In high school I agree that learning it by heart is unnecessary. Studying chemistry in university though, I agree that the students there should know, at least roughly, where each element is. After all, a lot of reactivity and behavior depends on their period and which group they are in.
