Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

I doubt that. There are both men and women who prefer small.
What might happen, is that whatever cultural ideal becomes contemporary, is also what most people will opt for, but that won’t mean people on the fringes of the bell curve stop existing.
I find it more likely that if big breasts become “easy” to get, the ideal will simply shift to something else, as the rarity is part of the appeal.
If a trait becomes common, at least some portion of people lose interest.
- Comment on Team Cherry - Hollow Knight: Silksong will be $20 USD 1 week ago:
That is such a chad move.
It’s going to sell no matter what the price. But knowing that, they set the price low, trusting they’ll still make a profit on volume.
If MS, EA, UBI, or any other publisher were in control, they’d set the price high, no matter how big the actual game was, knowing they’d make even more because of the hype train around the game.

Doesn’t the money printing lockout require more than one instance of it?
Otherwise random chance would have printers detecting it in all sorts of stuff.

“Hey, your partner is citing your terms and pushing us to pull certain titles, you ok with this?”
Not responding to that is response.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
You really buy that?
Valve asked mastercard directly.
A lack of a response is a also a response, in this case essentially an endorsement of whatever their partner was telling Valve.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
Maybe.
But Valve asked mastercard directly.

- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
Yes.
Plausible deniability.
“Oh so sorry that wasn’t us, one of our partners just overzealously applied or policies”
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
What?
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
Of course they did.
They just did so from behind a veil of plausible deniability.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
It’s npt even that vague.
Valve basically said: “we are not doing anything illegal”.
To which mastercard responded: “yeah but you’re making us look bad”.

- Comment on Are autistic people known to post a lot in social media or websites to "fill" their imaginations? 1 month ago:
It’s actually grown into something of an art discovery tool in itself.
It’s not hooked into my pixiv account in any way, I have to manually feed it artists or pixiv/danbooru links, if I find a post I wanna share or add to the queue.
The real magic started when I made it so I could configure a list of communities to post to, and list relevant danbooru tags for each community, and then have the bot go out and find stuff that would fit in the community, even checking which community has the least posts lined up. AND it cross-references with artists I’ve manually added as ones I like.
And it keeps track of what’s been posted, and what stuff by artists I like hasn’t been posted.
So when the queue runs low, I can literally just rapid-fire go yay or nay on a bunch of images like its a dating app. There are currently 327864 images in the suggestion queue by artists I like. And it finds more outside that if needed based on danbooru tags.

@TotallyNotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone Don’t forget her yuriposting. Top quality stuff.
I can confirm that I’m not autistic, afaik I’m a plain cis white guy with a probably neurotypical brain.
My “bot” is a set of automation tools I wrote that let me turn my fanart collecting hobby into posts that get posted at a constant trickle instead of a flood. I do see and verify every post before they go into the queue.
My real quirk is my commenting habit. I was already an avid reddit commenter before finding lemmy, but over here something puts it into overdrive. I think it’s because discussion here is just higher quality and more respectful (at least in the subs I frequent). Plus its small enough that the comment section is not as much of a popularity contest. I’ve averaged 10 comments a day for two years now… That’s normal. Right?
- Comment on oops 1 month ago:
Cool.
But the reason you’re being downvoted, is that instead of commenting this, you made a comment that sounded like you were dismissing the dangers of PFAS, and dismissing it as the modern-day equivalent to lead, asbestos, and the like.
Which is what it is, and you clearly agree that it is.
- Comment on oops 1 month ago:
Maybe lead with that, instead of the conspiracy angle.
- Comment on oops 1 month ago:
Did you at some point read about how some of them, such as the ones used in frying pans, are unlikely to cause problems in the human body, and then completely stopped looking into it further?
It’s a massive group of compounds, some of which currently look to be quite safe, but a significant number of which also have fully verified dangers (especially some compounds required for production).
- Comment on oops 1 month ago:
It is. Along with PFAS.

That would have been Quantum Break. I don’t recall Control havy any one cutscene that long.
But Quantum Break did the whole video-game/TV-series hybrid media thing, and was full of “episodes” that were essentially 30-minute cutscenes.

Were the people who actually do nothing really the ones to get axe for once?

You are being stopped from stopping people playing their games.
That’s a double negative bruh, as in, it reduces overrall limitations in the world for what people are allowed to do.

I like your Heather Mason. You’ve found a perfect level of detail to make these work.

!gameart@sopuli.xyz
Have you done other characters?
You say “your style”, so my first thought is to wonder what else you’ve done since must’ve done enough to land on a style.

Yesterday we saw the biggest increase in signatures in a single day, even compared to the start of the imitative.

This isn’t change.org or a twitter poll.
It’s an official EU citizens initiative, hosted on the EU web portal. The one maintained by the EU for the very purpose of digitally facilitating any and all citizens petitions.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone 2 months ago:
No ,I’m not.
Ok
I’m saying this is a waste of time.
I… What? Is that not a mutual exclusivity argument? For you to have a point, this time and effort would need to be better spent elsewhere. I not only disagree with that, but I have the time and energy to do the other things you are claiming will make a difference.

Does that mean I can pay for shit online with made-up credit cards?
