  Of course you can rate limit individual IPS/devices.

  But that’s gonna turn your most avid players against you, as their game will stop working. The API requests can mimic in game behaviour, it just requires one person willing to make a decent script set up and distribute the script on a troll forum.

  There might be an api key trick with steam I’m not aware of, but if they’re not careful anyone can just generate an api key

  Sort of depend on perspective, hunger only exists because there’s no political will to remove it.

  We produce more food globally than we consume, and we can multiply it several times with the same cost of space by swapping more meat for vegan crops.

  We have plenty of space for everyone to have shelter, the problem is largely due to the issue that most people want to live in a metropolitan area. So the price for living in a highly sought out location increases to unmanageable levels.

  A key factor is the big difference between the kinds of jobs you can get in a more rural location compared to the bigger urban centers. Everyone are forced to move to urban locations to study, causing most people to form their first adult social and professional circles around whichever urban location they studied at.

  There’s a lot of minor things that needs to be done, what exactly differs by country. But making the rural regions more accessible to live in should be considered across most countries. One simple first step, would be to make remote capable jobs offer their workers to do it all remotely. Government office workers, could quite easily spearhead such an initiative; I bet some people would move closer to nature, if they could hold onto their bread

  a big part is the perception of what you’re used to, I rarely eat meat nowadays and when I do it tends to be game.

  My burger patties have gotten to a point where I prefer them to any meat alternative, I’m not saying they’re the same. Outside of serving the same purpose in a burger, but it’s pretty wild I scoff at minced red deer meat now - It just doesn’t carry the same umfph

  Too keep your head cooler, it originates from the high humidity slavic banya culture.

  As high humidity saunas, warm your skin up faster than dry saunas. You’ll not last as long, primarily due to your head overheating. So wearing a thick hat, will insulate your head from the temperature and humidity of the room

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hating a minority is a theme showing up in politics, every time a society had a downturn.

  Jews were scapegoats, they were generally seen as greedy and thrifty. So when the economy went to shit, the workers blamed an ethnic group associated with being successful business people.

  The hate for Muslims went up a lot in the aftermath of the 08 crisis. Although the reasons for problems tends to be greed among the elites, they also tend to control the narrative. And will throw a minority under the bus to save themselves

  I’m pretty confident Putin is the number one backer of immortality age reversal research globally.

  He does all sorts of things, as is tradition among Russian Tzar’s, to halt his aging. The joke is the anti aging gurus tend to die before turning 70 and it has scared every Russian leader in history when they’ve observed that

  ~21.500 titles released in 2025, we’ve seen more than 16.000 games released this year so it will once again break a new record for titles released in a year.

  The platforms also create the new top designers/performers by letting new talents submit for free.

  Like live streaming, Twitch have no clue who’s going to become big and who’ll stay at 2 concurrent viewers. But you need to let everyone try, to be able to have the few that rises to the top

  I’m 30 and have been back home since the start of last year, after having lived elsewhere for a decade.

  Then traveled in autumn and got laid off at the start of the year in a sector (software) that’s experiencing talent excess. It’s basically impossible to get an interview, their reaction when I told them I’m moving back to the capital to get a bachelor of education is kind of wild. they’re both like, wouldn’t you like to stay a little longer?

  I’m just like, guys I’ve been unemployed for half a year. Without any entrepreneurial ideas. I’m not about to start a company. I need to do something…

  need to crowd fund a comedy statue that will get them loads of publicity?

  Because it gives them loads more of publicity, also people loves to be involved if they have a chip in it.

  Why do people buy subscriptions for the biggest streamers, earning 10s of thousands of dollars in ad revenue each month? Because they want to be a part of it, they want to chip in to let the show go on

  I used to work with a guy that’d make everyone laugh, and estimate tasks like he’d never get shit done.

  He wasn’t the fastest developer, but his quality was alright. I’m pretty confident everyone else however got more shit done, simply because it was a lot nicer and calmer to work those projects.

  Any large project needs the moral boosters, for smaller projects it’s a little more complicated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, an…⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The survey showed that over nine in ten (92%) of insured respondents had delayed or avoided medical care because of concern about cost.

  But the methodology seems wonky indeed, 1507 should be a decent sample size for statistical purposes. But half of the respondents are self-employed and only 1% is unemployed, which explains the “average out of pocket per income level” section, flying all over the place.

  But 92% of insured, having delayed medical care is a massive finding. Although the methodology makes one raise eyebrows, for how they’re able to include income brackets of “0$”, as that at most seems to be 15 respondents.

  Given the health benefits brushing your teeth applies to your entire body, it’s an awful bad idea.

  At the end of the day, when a person has to go to the hospital for a complicated procedure due to bad oral hygiene. The cost falls back on the entire society, even in the case of selfpaid hospitals - The capacity is strained a bit further, to help a preventable situation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The German problem is the missing representation, through a requirement of 5% of votes to be represented.

  Then for the case of AfD, no one wanted to talk with them at all when they crossed the 5% mark. AfD has a lot of garbage takes, but they’re gaining traction for a reason and any extreme party will have some truth to their main requests.

  I think we’re quite close to optimal in Denmark with the 2% requirement and then legitimately listening to all parties. Like right now there’s no need to include Alternativet/Greens. But everyone is aware the most climate extreme party will become big if everyone ignores them.

  The big games you mention here are what most would coin AA titles, AA is absolutely still able to hit homeruns at time.

  But the AAA (biggest budget games) plays a bit too safe, I have a feeling GTA VI might be a banger. But that’s an anomaly for a AAA game.

  We need more innovative games, triple A’s should be able to invent new things. Studios quite often does so, and then has it gutted by publishers/investors because it carries too high of a risk
