  Is it undecipherable? They link it, there’s a page that says issue, you click “new issue”. You’re reporting a bug or feature request, describe it, click submit.

  It’s important to keep a single list of issues. These are just guys developing, they don’t have project managers to go and read through forum posts to translate items into issues and give them a priority.

  If going through those few steps is too much hassle, then I say it probably wasn’t that important or an issue to begin with.

  If that is what you’re intending then it is not coming off that way.

  Bro why are you being so argumentative? Person gave you a well thought out response, wasn’t even a tone to him but you fire back like he just insulted a core belief

  Guh gotta keep milking it don’t they. My local theater is rearranging Knightley’s version and I’m going to that, no interest in seeing a remake on Netflix.

  That’s like, who she was?! I think they forgot that the first game was pretty much a non-story anyway, and somehow made it worse

  Fallout, the last of us? Stuck close to the games’ source material and respected current and new fans.

  Halo and borderlands both ignored current fans and diverted from the source material.

  Could there be a correlation? Oh, no just covid

  What a shame covid happened. It would have won an Oscar if not for covid.

  I always love this. Any other normal job we would be like “why would you ever leave that high paying stable job?”. But in Hollywood we’re like “jeeze why would you stay?”. Have you seen the job market?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Harry Potter’ HBO Series Confirms Casting for Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Hagrid and More Hogwarts Staffers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The cast now includes the following series regulars: John Lithgow (“Conclave,” “The Crown”) as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer (“Tumbleweeds,” “The White Queen”) as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu (“I May Destroy You,” “Gangs of London”) as Severus Snape, and Nick Frost (“Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz”) as Rubeus Hagrid. It had previously been reported that all four actors were in talks for the show.

  In addition, Luke Thallon (Tom Stoppard’s “Leopoldstadt,” Rupert Goold’s “Patriots”) has joined in the recurring role of Quirinus Quirrell. Paul Whitehouse (“The Fast Show,” “Harry & Paul”) will appear in the recurring role of Argus Filch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind sitting at a desk, but some care tips.

  • Stand up at least once an hour, even just to get coffee, go to the bathroom.
  • Always have a (full) bottle of water with you. If it’s there, you’ll drink it, you won’t even notice it. Keep it in your eyeline
  • Eyedrops. If you’re in an office job, you need eyedrops. If you game on top of that you need them more. I actually dried out my eyes from coding and gaming too much, it’s very easy to do. Talk to your eye doctor, get some artificial tears. Look away from the screen every 20 minutes or so and just blink.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but it’s always been a license. I’ve never been unaware of that, it’s only now that publishers are starting to abuse that fact that they’re making it obvious. Again, I’ve never been burned by valve, so I trust them. Maybe that’ll change some day, but for now, that’s why they’re doing better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't Afford A Nintendo Switch 2? Buy A Switch 1, Nintendo Says - Insider Gaming⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because valve has always been transparent about it. They’ve also put in place a lot of protections for gamers, which is why I trust their store. Their stuff is also a license, but I have yet to see something pulled out of my inventory. Actually there was a game once, and it was a Ubisoft game now that I think of it. I believe that’s when they put in more protections.

  Ubisoft wants to make everything cloud dependent and then want us to be happy that we can’t play our games anymore. They lost all of my trust. If it’s not a purchase, then it’s a rental in my eyes, and I’d never pay more than $20 for a rental.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer of 'non-consensual sex' game withdraws it from Steam after bans in the UK, Canada, and Australia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an interesting debate. One that I will not touch with ten foot pole because I do not have the knowledge to say which is right, but it’s interesting.

  Is it better for people with these uh, interests, to have artificial content if it satisfies their needs? As in, for non consensual the vast majority of people would think it’s revolting, and that it should go. We want no part of it in society. But here’s the rub. What if the alternative is actually committing the crime? By offering an alternative that is morally questionable could it reduce the actual crime from happening?

  Same thing with AI generated CSAM. utterly revolting. Think it should be purged. But, some psychologists argue that it would satisfy the desires of some of them, and it could reduce actual children from being harmed. Some say it could make the urge worse but some say it could prevent the real thing from happening

  I don’t have the training or knowledge to say this or that, but it’s interesting

  Oh my god my friends and I were PISSED. The game just ended! You made it through the third age! Congrats! Game ends. We were just entering into a major war and had a strategy planned out, we were moving troops then it was just over.

  No more one more turn, no more alternate victory conditions, just done. Very unsatisfying end, and that was about 4 days of play to get there. Really soured us all

  I finally have a semi decent setup at home where it’s quiet, I can fully envelope myself in the movie, and I have better snacks. I don’t know why I would want to go out to an AMC or some other cheap theater to have a worse experience.

  Now, there is a local theater who focuses on actual films I go to, like I saw the Brutalist there, but they actually enforce the rules, and they aren’t going to show the new spiderman. So it’s actually a pleasant experience

  Yup, had a bunch of future tech examples of it like doctors performing surgeries from around the world and building virtual designer shops, but couldn’t figure out a modern day use for it. So flopped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s my point, that they’ve built such a easy to use trustworthy store that everyone just buys it because what’s the point of stealing anything from them. Vs Nintendo when that’s the first thing people start working on.

  Then they’re all shocked Pikachu that people are so determined to emulate them. You know what games aren’t being jailbroken en masse right now? Steam games. Because the store has been trustworthy since day one. They may break that trust but it hasn’t happened yet.

  Ah so teenagers doing teenager things. Also why I don’t go to movies anymore. This is an extreme case but people really just act like no one is around them anymore.

  Ah we’ve reached that step in the Microsoft hype cycle then. Remember when HoloLens showed running Minecraft on a table? This is the stage I believe where Microsoft is running out of ideas and desperately trying to get the consumer to care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of your unpopular opinions, hot takes about shows, streamers, the wider industry etc?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a show that plans for 2 seasons or less is great. Andor would have gotten stale at 5 seasons. Queens Gambit was only 1. We don’t need everything to run on forever.

  However, that’s not Netflix’s problem. Their problem is that a show runner doesn’t know how long their show will run, so they can’t close out storylines correctly. Too many are left with open questions and cliffhangers because they were abruptly cancelled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your go-to lame low quality shows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s not as good as I remembered, and not as bad as I feared. I thought it’d be a very mysoginistic view of a 90s home, and it kind of is, but not a crazy amount. Starts that way, Jill is a stay at home mom, 3 kids, house, dad is the provider, but the show tackles a good chunk of that. Jill wants to get her masters, wants to move out of the house. Tim has to come to terms with it. They tackle rebelling kids, differing views, idk, it’s not as bad as I expected it to be.

  It’s not up to par with today, but I don’t think it’s bad either. So yeah, good filler
