- Comment on I'm sad Deadlock is 'just' a MOBA—not because I don't like them, but because I'm in love with Valve's lore and characters enough to want any other game instead 3 days ago:
Good News! Valve apparently thinks the same and are working on a visual novel for the heroes in order to tell their stories. I’m really looking forward to that as well.
- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 4 days ago:
I disagree. Avoiding media because of certain themes is perfectly fine. I for example will not play games like Hatred or Nazi Games, no matter how good they could be. It’s the kind of themes they try to avoid which show how scared they are of everybody around them.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 4 days ago:
Most often the changes I saw till now is the missing (red) cabbage and the bread is different.
But yeah, I’m with you: I haven’t yet found one that is better or even equal to the real one
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 4 days ago:
I want to protest the Döner one. Other countries sell something they call Döner, but the similarity is superficial at best to a real one. It’s a fun little thing I do on vacation in other European countries: try to find a “Döner” and see what travesty they give me
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 6 days ago:
For me it was Warframe. I adore the style of the game and it’s lore. The gameplay and variety of the different weapons and characters gave me a lot of fun playtime. But the way RNG is used and how timed special missions are abusing dark patterns became more and more clear, the longer I played.
And at a certain point I realized the addiction it nurtured in me and I had to stop cold turkey and never touched it again afterwards.
- Comment on I worked some prison and jails. They always put this big heavy green thing on you if your on suicide or solitary watch. My question is if Epstein was on watch then how did he suicide? 2 weeks ago:
Normally I would agree, but this one does have really strange occurrences. First there is no camera feed, then the camera feed released is strangely missing exactly the time around his death. Like how many strange occurrences does it take for you to say: wait a minute, why is it so hard for them to prove everything happened as they said.
- Comment on Playback speed past X2 is now a YouTube paid feature 3 weeks ago:
I could also only increase the playback speed to 2x at maximum. Firefox and no YouTube specific add-ons are used.
- Comment on "It is out of the question to let a boss run rampant" - Ubisoft workers strike against "disastrous" cutbacks 4 weeks ago:
For sure. Is not like the bosses at other big companies are magically better. They select for the same criteria, so they get the same crap.
And honestly, AAA industry should go down for 99% of them. The way they treat their workers is not something that should be supported.
- Comment on "It is out of the question to let a boss run rampant" - Ubisoft workers strike against "disastrous" cutbacks 4 weeks ago:
Again: And who is responsible for that innovation? The workers or the bosses?
- Comment on Deadlock Major Update — Old Gods, New Blood 4 weeks ago:
Looks interesting, especially the patron design. But the new heros look more like overwatch than deadlock too me, the faces look too pretty.
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 1 month ago:
I mean Cuba was a crisis and dangerous for sure, and the USSR pushed it to the near breaking point, but I still find it funny that the USA got nervous when strategic rockets were close to them, something that was true for Moscow nearly the whole time.
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 1 month ago:
Both sides were the aggressors in general and each side had moments where they were the more active part leading to confrontations.
I don’t think the cold war can be described as one single conflict with a clear aggressor, which is the whole point why it is called a cold war.
I’m not knowledgeable enough if there are statistics about which side was more in the wrong or did more aggressor stuff.
But for me, knowing that the USA did the Iran and CIA stuff while the USSR did Afghanistan and KGB stuff is enough for me to decide both were elitist assholes that didn’t care for normal humans but just wanted to increase their own power.
- Comment on Is this true for Germans? 1 month ago:
True, and it still doesn’t include that the boot industry has no interest in building proper snow safety but just to make it as cheap as possible and if the boots fail, the state should pay you for your wet and cold feet.
- Comment on Is this true for Germans? 1 month ago:
No, your example is wrong.
It’s like saying nobody should go into the snow because it can’t be 100% ensured that all shoes are snowready.
- Comment on How come laptops or pc's don't have a "webcam" facing both ways instead of just the user? 1 month ago:
Because tablets are not normal PCs, but rather big smartphones, which are expected to have cameras.
- Comment on What do other languages use for "magic" words; or names and titles in fantasy and sci-fi novels or cinema? 1 month ago:
While you are right in general, Fullmetal Alchemist isn’t an example of glorifying Nazi Germany. The country is a military dictatorship, they committed a genocide while conquering a neighbouring region and are not portrayed as the good guys. The war and genocide was shown to have long lasting bad effects both on the victims and the perpetrating soldiers. And the leadership is literally working for the big bad.
Just wanted to clarify, as this is one of the few examples where they play the Nazi card straight instead of going: “nice uniform and marching music”.
- Comment on ¡! FREE REFILLS !¡ 2 months ago:
These things are mostly used for dry, waterfree solvents.
We do proper science here, which explodes and/or becomes useless if it sees even one water molecule. So no, no water! Begone with your aquatic sin!
- Comment on Tyranny: Recommended starting character with a mind to story, not ease of combat? 2 months ago:
I would also advise to go with magic, since you can generate your own spells here, which is really fun. And you will have a high Lore stat, which will help you experience more lore background of this fantastic works.

- Comment on 'Architects of AI' named Time Magazine's Person of the Year 2 months ago:
True, but the picture tells a story on its own.
- Comment on Change my Mind 2 months ago:
You are right, but Bloodlines 2 is a bad example. I only heard bad things about that game prerelease, more advertisement would not have convinced me to buy it. And the fans were rather taken aback by the changes to gameplay, namely focus on action and removal of RPG elements.
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 months ago:
Again: in the past they couldn’t, even if they tried, fuck up the whole biosphere of our planet as we are doing right now.
So no, not same as always. The underlying principle yes, but the scale was physically not possible before.
- Comment on Man critical after being mauled by dog in Sydney apartment 3 months ago:
Honestly I’m just glad it’s the owner themselves this time and not an innocent bystander.
It is a deserved fate for the owner, even if he did everything correctly. For the reason you said.
- Comment on If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename? 3 months ago:
The number was reassigned because Bond was not in the MI6 at that time, yes.
- Comment on When you attempt to get visas or citizenship status, you usually need legal documents from your home country, but what about dissidents who fled, and their government refuses to issue papers? 3 months ago:
Can you give me directions where that planet is with the same countries?
- Comment on When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game? 3 months ago:
… It took your comment for me to reread the other one and yes, that does make more sense.
- Comment on There's been 7 replies to this post, but the usual chain of replies on lemmy aren't opening up. Normally l use brave browser, but when l opened my account on firefox, it's the same. Where's the bug ? 3 months ago:
Could be from somebody who is blocked by you or your instance. You could try opening the post from another Lemmy server and try to see it then.
And if the comment is blocked, then all replies are also blocked for you.

Oh for sure. Either they were jealous or can’t admit they made a mistake (and were unnecessarily antagonistic).
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
If I’m sure I saw it somewhere else, I would also speak up, BUT I would provide evidence of that. And I would ask in s different way, because it might have been that the artist just uses a new account name.
Why? Because I fucking had it with those motherfucking attention whores on this motherfucking internet.
I’m not the artist, but why should I not bring attention to somebody just stealing stuff and posting it as their own? It’s great that artist post their art for free on the internet for us to enjoy, the least (and often only) thing they should get out of that is that their user name is attached to that.
- Comment on Just in case you thought reviving dead games seemed easy enough, GOG had to hire a private investigator to find an IP holder living off the grid for its preservation program 3 months ago:
Same here, I watched the rest of the game on YouTube and the creativity is astounding. Next to try is NOLF 2, hopefully that one is better aged.
