Someone needs to bring a trust-busting suit against Valve.
- Comment on An unsettling indie game about horses keeps getting banned from stores 2 days ago:
No, banned is the right word colloquially. The media is not eligible to be distributed in the monopolistic or anti-competitive web service run by Valve. It wasn't banned by a government, but it was indeed banned.

Advertising. I'm not going to elaborate, because it's all just going to come back to that. Grassroots, paid, you name it. Advertising.

Yup!

Multiplayer, don't cheat - join our start lobbies playing the way you want to play.

No Oddjob, no Golden Gun.
Otherwise, it's all good.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 6 days ago:
I'm strongly of the mindset that cheating only means taking a dishonest and unfair advantage over another person. Changing the rules of the game is not cheating, it's house ruling - in tabletop discussion, that's part of what we call Rule Zero. If I'm not in competition with another person, it's just playing by my own rules.
I remember one HL1 CS (Specialists Mod) LAN party I was in where we all turned on Matrix Vision and multiplied the slo-mo timer. It was great - utterly chaotic, but everything was equal.
So no, I don't cheat in games. I just play by my own rules as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. And if I do play multiplayer, I try to bring my house rules to them. I've never had any person accuse me of cheating when I ask about various options. TBH, the closest I come to cheating is turning on all of the assistive features - colorblind mode, target highlighting, auto target, sound notifications in minimaps, custom keybinds, and whatever else is in the menu. Everyone else can also choose to do that, and I'm just as happy if everyone I play with has those same things.

Lemmy users are just Reddit users but displaced.

I wish to highlight that between the Bell Riots and the Phoenix, ST predicted that there would be both the Eugenics Wars and WW3, which leave the world so badly broken that the only "nations" that remain are the Western Alliance and the Eastern Coalition. Alameda, CA gets completely blown off the map; and it's not the only such place.
It's not a pretty picture, when you look at the history they gloss over.

Two with one shot, that's a good hit, and no cards in sight!
- Comment on What game is a guilty pleasure of yours? 1 week ago:
When it comes to games, I have no guilt anymore. I enjoy some games and despise others. I think the only one that comes to mind for this category is E.V.O. The Search For Eden (SNES). I prefer it with a patch to improve the translation.

Can't wait until it becomes a 120-month phone lifespan, or people not being willing to upgrade plans and look at budget providers instead.

9/12 was a day of forcing ourselves to live. That's what she's doing here. Living.

I'm sorry, what?
- Comment on Feynman rules 3 weeks ago:
Feynman actually did try to explain it, and could do the math and other work to show why magnets attract one another. Having watched the Todd in the Shadows video about Miracles, I kind of find the question wholesome - he's not asking out of willful ignorance, but rather that it's something he knows is beyond his grasp but amazes him (and wants to share that joy in the world with his kids and family).
Trump is just willfully ignorant and small-minded.

Yup, but he owns it without a mortgage, probably owns the land it's on, and his taxes are half of mine. So...

Worst part is that it's not 100% wrong.

Well, yay for me since I'm an mbin user, thus technically not a Lemmy user.
- Comment on Not Looking for a recipe or a how to guide. But when meth rolled thru my town they called it either redneck speed or bathtub speed. With all chemicals did people really do it in a bathtub?? 1 month ago:
Given how durable and versatile bathtubs are, I wouldn't be surprised.

Have you ever read "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?"? It's a very different work from the movie, but also gets into the dark cartoon tone. And I think it's very well done.

Lincoln didn't really give a damn about the rights of black people. He cared about getting elected, and that was what he needed to say to get votes.

As a platform grows, you tend to get more diversity of voices. As voices become diverse, conflict becomes inevitable.
