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.

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 2 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 2 weeks ago:
Maybe.
But Valve asked mastercard directly.

- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 2 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 2 weeks ago:
What?
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 2 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 2 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”.

Oh wow that is A LOT more similar than I was thinking.

- Comment on Are autistic people known to post a lot in social media or websites to "fill" their imaginations? 4 weeks 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?

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.
- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 1 month ago:
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.

Like for real.
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.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone 1 month ago:
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 1 month 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.

Oh shit forreal?
Does that mean I can pay for shit online with made-up credit cards?
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone 1 month ago:
Citizens iniatives may be a form of petition, but the difference is they come with actual legal requirements.
This isn’t some change.org bs, a list of names totaling some arbitrary number.
This is a pre-existing system for the people of the EU to force it to tackle an issue. Most EU countries have equivalent systems locally, as well. This isn’t new or unusual for us.
Legal precedent is how the US works. Where lawsuits catalyzing the setting of new standards for what is legal, is most common way the law changes.
That can happen in the EU, too, but we have additional ways to propose law as citizens. If you can gather proof (signatures) of concern on a given issue, the government must address it.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone 1 month ago:
Right. Because caring about A means you can’t care about B. If you support legislation, you must be boycoting nothing, because no-one in the history of existence has ever done both.
You’re claiming mutual exclusivity where none exists.
You sound more like you’re scared of the implications of this passing, because you’d have us voting with out wallets rather than… actually voting.
Pre-order, micro-transactions and battle-passes are srill a thing, no matter how much we shout about “big company bad”. This type of crap isn’t something we solve by any one method alone.
