  No one cares who the lead is in a good show. It’s been popular to blame racism/sexism for shitty shows for a while. It’s easy to find a couple tweets and turn a handful of assholes into the face of criticism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s never been much content blocking in elder scrolls. You could always master every skill even in Morrowind. Morrowind had a few exclusive guilds, but even Skyrim had a couple. Role playing in Skyrim is self imposed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I like prime gaming, sure I haven’t actually bought anything but Amazon has given me a decent gog library and an ok Amazon games one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s entirely possible that the database is pre SQL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter: World sold over a million copies just in the last 3 months, despite being 7 years old⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought it with iceborne when it was on sale recently on steam, I had a copy for PS4 but I’ve transitioned to just PC games at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an implemented system of automated trucks anywhere that is fully operational?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only in extremely controlled areas like ports or mines are there no humans. Farm tractors are close when in the field.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There two big differences to me are scale and value. A ccg has rare cards, but they aren’t actually that rare compared to loot boxes. Loot boxes tend to have both lower drop rates and pollute their drops with lots of garbage, even for rare drops. Secondly, physical cards have value, you can sell or trade them, you can buy singles of cards you want. You can use them for things other than the game as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Civilization 7 not fun?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As others have said start with 5. The rule of thumb for civ games is to wait for the expansion dlc to release and buy the game on sale. 7 is also a significant departure from the previous games, so it’s probably even more important to wait or outright skip it until they get it more polished.

  Also it’s worth looking into endless legend or endless space 2 if you want to try more 4x games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Light moderation tends to not lead to good communities. You can try 4chan if you want light moderation. Otherwise you might need a better focus than general finance. FIRE is popular online. Wallstreetbets is irresponsible investing. There are pyramid communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deadpool star cuts ties with Marvel after Deadpool & Wolverine frustrations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It costs Disney almost nothing for the invite though. They’ve also had consistent image issues lately between attacking fans, and ignoring creators. Even if the dude is a massive asshole, I’m still on his side vs Disney.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨imagine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would constitute theft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨imagine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have planted seeds from round up ready soy beans. They grew just fine for my needs, which wasn’t farming. Farmers have also planted harvested hybrid seeds, Monsanto sues the ones they catch, because it’s a contract violation for those that bought seeds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How realistic is the threat of the government remotely manipulating digital devices you own and planting evidence?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could they? Yes. Would they? Almost definitely not for most cases. There’s plenty of crimes they can hit you with if you happen to get on the government’s shit list. A month of active surveillance would give them evidence for a laundry list of felonies. Taking covert action to plant fake evidence is a level of risk that isn’t worth it for the average person. If you happen to be a state level threat that calculus can change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Sony Exec Believes PlayStation 6 Will Retain Optical Disc Support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The PS5 doesn’t even have games and we are moving on to the 6? I guess that’s some innovation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It means you have standards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It means you have standards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Idk how they did it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my first time seeing this poster, and I can’t believe they thought it looked good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization 7's post-launch plans include free multiplayer and Age features and paid Ada Lovelace⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The words in the article. Great Britain/English is a paid dlc. You can’t play with the same number of players in each age at launch. You can’t do hot seat multiplayer at launch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization 7's post-launch plans include free multiplayer and Age features and paid Ada Lovelace⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Post launch plans include finishing the game and packaging popular civs as paid dlc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Crimes committed by random strangers against women are practically non-existent. Women absolutely need to fear their creepy neighbors or angry ex, as people they know are the actual risks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches The Terminator⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Antique guns are pre 1898. Those guns are far more dangerous as a club than a gun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will take no arguments⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When they say it lasts, they don’t mean it stays in the exact same condition and shape.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The official way to chat with the European Union is with.... Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Live chat is more plug and play than ever, but it’s still hard to compete with messenger being free and requires no ongoing support from your end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real-Time Strategy is incredible and you should play it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AOE 3 had a treaty mode that blocked attacking or building too close to an enemy before a certain time. It was a moderately popular mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Medical Industrial Complex⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a result of a very real doctors shortage that has been getting worse for years. There’s perverse incentives for doctors to also not choose to be a general practitioner. It’s lower paying and exposure to the same level of malpractice risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I know the perfect place for the ESP button! Right in front of the drivers knee!"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah you shouldn’t have knees that close to the dash, unless you are 7ft and the seat can’t go back further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As an English language pedant, I find this text message mildly infuriating.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You unstop a drain to make it go again. You unstop texts to make them go again. Seems fine to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should law enforcement workers form unions?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Public sector unions aren’t organized against capital, they are in opposition to the people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should law enforcement workers form unions?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All public sector unions should be disbanded and banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a good group!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s my understanding that orks are the most luck based faction, so they are either chill people or cheaters that fix dice rolls.
