The problem is that "marketing" is "investment". And as long as the fascists are profitable... you can follow from there
- Comment on A first-person 3D adaptation of Zork I 4 days ago:
Honestly, it's just become my default for anything that hits the surface level "huh, that's cool...but how or why?" check nowadays. LLMs generate material that matches surface level interest without the 'why', because there's no actual thoughts or emotions to give a reason. So whenever I see a "cool" remake of a game in a different way, I start out assuming it's an LLM project driven by some slop-happy inhuman fleshbeast that doesn't understand what human elements made the old thing cool in the first place.
So basically it's just a gut feeling that something is 'off'.

That's for a Call of Cthulhu character.

Feels too much like it was made with AI.

He's probably switched over to the version that he's making money from, frankly.

When Tarn makes big statements, people ought to listen.

Then that's a 7-11 that's not interested in having business.

Not "plenty", and the ones that do are either very very good, or die in a year or two.

That's life in a horrific authoritarian state.
We need to stop that from happening in the USA. Bring back the penny.

Then the Fediverse and FOSS have succeeded.

I'm sorry, I don't think we're going to end up agreeing on this. I don't see that it's been forced on anyone. Maybe users of that instance, or people who use the software. But the list is there.
- Comment on About half of lemmy today 1 month ago:
I kinda don't see why everyone has their knickers in a twist. This is exactly what the Fediverse is about - don't like, don't federate. And it's one instance or one software.

And if not, they have incentives to disenfranchise everyone who isn't 100% confirmed loyal.

So tell Aldi.

Honestly, I'm most likely to ignore reviews by people in the PRC. At best, my interest will be to see if PRC reviews differ from US or European reviews, and lean towards games where the PRC is opposite of the West. I might also compare both to Japanese reviews.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 2 months ago:
I've put more hours into Infiniminer, Minetest/Luanti, Industry, Dopewars, dnd, dopewars, and various Twine/Frotz games than any corporate games. When I do want an FPS (rare), I look at Doom sourceports and maybe Cube/Sauerbraten.
And there's the real time-murderer: Nethack.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 2 months ago:
And yet there are free indie games out there that are generally better than the corp funded crap. Creators will create, no matter what happens.

As I said to a college professor when he was pointing out how the "Reduce" in "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" is often ignored or at best whispered, reducing our consumption isn't profitable.

"... All You Zombies" is really about his connection to his dead sister.

He was a good writer and a solid philosopher. Less focused than Clarke or Asimov, less wacky than Dick, and less manipulative than Hubbard. He presented ideas in a clear way.

Thank you! I believe we will.
