I cant find it now, it had a big write up that made me delete the app and bookmark.

Reuters tookoil money to push a narrative. I like the AP.
Ground News seems too good to be true, fearful of how it changes up. Canadian though.

I wasnt saying that the terms said that just that them aaying it would be an example of my point.

“would be”, its an eample of abuse of the SMP

Isnt a natural monolpoly something like YKK who just have the economics and processes in place to capture the market?
- Comment on Steam Owner Valve Faces $900 Million Lawsuit Over PC Monopoly Claims, Following UK Tribunal Ruling - IGN 2 weeks ago:
That isn’t necessarily true, companies with SMP have additional regulations. Steam having terms in their contracts preventing sale for cheaper elsewhere would be abuse of their SMP.

Challenge network effects, use in tandem and prioritise alternatives until github is less powerful

Very true. What is the method for this to work
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers 5 weeks ago:
This is uninformed bullshit. You are wrong and talking with authority on something you clearly know nothing about, I can only assume you live somewhere without employee protections and rights.

Cant imagine its the case that they dont need to, only some shit hole country would not have basic employee rights

Nsmb wii was brilliant, really enjoyed it. The new one had fine parts but was just too disjointed and became tedious and zany which I wouldnt usually tiento Mario

What did inbox improve on?
- Comment on The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020 1 month ago:
Super Mario Bros Wonder sucked. I hope they don’t take it’s sales as a direction on the franchise because it is my least favourite.
Also how is Hogwarts so high and 90% off, must have had a huge fall off.

I stayed away for a few years, ended up buying a fair bit more frequently when doing up the house just due to cost and delivery but the site does look exactly like any other slop store now. It looks like chinavasion or alibaba.
- Comment on Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results 2 months ago:
I did get it to install after your comment but I cant login now because of some microG issue which is so weird.
- Comment on Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results 2 months ago:
Yeah it kept collapsing on the build for whatever reason, I moved to newpipe or pipepipe or something.
Miss the sponsorblock

My revanced died a few months ago, have you experienced any issues?

I love building a huge base, something I never get the chance to online.

I was playing this last night I just pressed download and I got my ass handed to me 4/5 times.
- Comment on A blog re-used one of my Reddit posts as a genuine comment on their blog 2 months ago:
I dont see a major issue here unless reviewing was the blogs sole purpose. You reviewed a product and someone else said “as per this revie by xyz”. They credited and quoted you. This is the foundation of discourse.
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 2 months ago:
I do wish it was as funny as a younger reddit, I used to be bowled over reading comments. I fesr we have lost a spark from all the fuckery of the world.

There were some pieces mentioned on waveform about its set up being out of box ready to be turned on by tv remote and those few console like bits that people like me wouldnt know how to do if we built.

Should I get a steam link? Not entirely sure of its purpose but those words look good

Yes

I dont know, I have heard valid complaints but the western setting doesnt allow for much other than bandit themed random encounters and favours. There are other more out there ones that hint to larger things like time travel etc.
- Comment on Over 47% of Stop Killing Games Signatures Have Already Been Verified 3 months ago:
Its funny people downvoted you for being the very thing they ae pointing out to you existing.
Its is just a comic that makes the point that not everyone knows what seems common to you and while there is significant overlap in most peoples knowledge people should take delight in being the ones to bring otherwise common knowledge to those who do not yet possess it.
- Comment on How do Ghostwriters work? Does the person the book is about say to the writer I will give you 2 or 20 percent of the sales or is it a 50 50 split? 3 months ago:
Unless you are a complete retard and manage to negotiate the worst deal for yourself possible and give royalties to your ghost writer. The art of the deal.

Game - year - critic/user score
Deadly Alliance - 2002 - 79/73 Deception - 2004 - 81/80 Shaolin Monks - 2005 - 77/87 Armageddon - 2006 - 75/80
Mk9 - 2011 - 79/83 MKX - 2015 - 83/77 MK11 - 2019 - 82/43 MK1 - 2023 - 83/65
The user score has not cracked 80 in 14 years. My point with that game was people were excited for a new MK game after a largr gap. In a two year period they released their three highest rated games since they moved to consoles.
- Comment on Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game - Official Announcement Trailer 3 months ago:
Disagree on all fronts. The competitive piece is one aspect, they could try new game modes that are not just reskins and points like MK Karting, Chess, Konquest, etc.
The modern games all under perform against the ps2 games on metacritic. The only modern one to crack 8.0 or higher is a fourteen yesr old Ps3 entry which had a lot of fanfare as the brsnd returning and was not shit.
