I mean, they’ve just filed a lawsuit against Krafton, to me that says they’re pretty confident about being right.

I doni know if there’s any other freak sorting their Lemmy homepage to Top Monthly who just found this post, but I’d advise to edit it to let people know that even if the site lists more than 1M signatures the actually valid ones might be less, so signing even now is still a good idea.

purchasers have legitimate moral and legal grounds to demand that they be informed that they are buying a license, or renting, the game; they are not owning a functional copy of the game outright.
I’m pretty sure that’s already the case, if you read the ToS of most games.
Not that it makes this any better.

Whoops, fixed. My keyboard somehow gave the blame to non-eligible voters too.

Elon is supposedly on the spectrum, so he could have done it to show his excitement, without realizing the true meanings and implications.
And considering he’s on social media 24/7, he should’ve realized what people interpreted it as by now and posted an apology repudiating fascism.
But he didn’t, did he?

Reminder that ~270 million Americans allowed this to happen.

Holy hell what even is this? Are they really comparing those photos of Biden and Harris to what Elon did?

The person claiming this is @TheBestFigen. And who is that? Why are they reporting this? You don’t trust random sources on twitter for news.
Idk but they have more than a million followers. If someone with that reach posts misleading information it’s good to correct it.

I’ve heard of a club in my country where you put on a colored bracelet based on whether or not are you looking for a partner. Seemed like a cool idea but I think it didn’t catch on.

It does kind of have “We would have gotten away with it, if it hadn’t been for you meddling kids!” energy to me.
There’s no way they thought the PSN thing would’ve been a well-received update.

Not our fault the entire tech industry keeps engineering new ways to give people trust issues.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 year ago:
These reviews will have a lasting effect on the game even though the drama bubble has now popped.
Steam has a specific thing that appears when you keep playing a lot on a game that you’ve negatively reviewed asking if you want to change it. I think a game is rarely impacted long-term by review bombing for a resolved issue, unless the reviewers actually dropped the game and went on with their lives.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 year ago:
This is why Steam reviews should be taken much more seriously. This was impossible to avoid due to the enormous amount of bad press and devs themselves jumping on the hate train, but I’m betting that a lot of review bombing attempts have been quietly offset by the company just paying people for fake reviews. It’s especially obvious when the game has relatively low reviews for months and months, then suddenly bad stuff happens and along with the justified dump of negative reviews, positive ones also skyrocket (99% of which composed of “good game”, random memes or ascii art).
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 1 year ago:
Yup, been there done that. I’ve just resigned to the fact that the whole social cues thing is too much for my brain and I’ll just stick to the hobby and be friends with them unless I get really lucky and get to know a girl that’s simultaneously interested in me and willing to make the first move.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 1 year ago:
Neither the site nor the author point to any of this being satire, unfortunately.
They’re just that much detached from reality.

Safari allows you to install adblockers, btw. Apple is overprotective but this isn’t really their fault.
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 1 year ago:
Well yes, maybe going that far back it was kind of a shot in the dark, but the late ‘90 to early ‘10 period was a time where you had internet (or at least tv/magazines) to know which games were “popular”, most of those were actually well done, and you’d rarely have an AAA title launch as a bugridden mess.
Reviews are also a hit-or-miss because they’re highly subjective. The Steam review system sucks as well, being only positive/negative and with troll reviews always at the top.
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 1 year ago:
The difference is back in the day the great games were the highly advertised “big ones” and the “stinkers” usually fell flat. Now you have a mountain of AAA stinkers and have to go scavenging for indie gems.

Whoops, you’re right, my bad. I’m not a native speaker and mixed “grifter” with “griefer”.

They wanted those kids to go at a concert and “spread the gospel” to people who paid to be there. Not sure about you, but I know I wouldn’t take that well.
- Comment on Merry Christmas 1 year ago:
Well, they’re right in the sense that Internet is very unforgiving about anything that anyone ever did, no matter if they stopped or not.
Doesn’t mean it’s a good practice and they should be justified in doing it as well, though.

In the U.S., education is mostly about being able to regurgitate what you’ve been told.
Wait, are there places where it’s not?

Yeah “faithful” isn’t what I would call it but your comment is a huge exaggeration and I hope you know that. I’d struggle to find western adaptations that change less stuff than what the OP LA did.

That’s why the “then” was key.
I’m just talking because there’s probably no realistic way to make it possible at this point, but assuming countries could “buy back” houses from landlords until they have enough for everyone, I wouldn’t mind people having more than one house as long as everyone has at least one.
- Comment on We've invented some silly concepts 1 year ago:
My take is everyone should be entitled to one, then do whatever you want with what’s left.
