  Going in the right direction does not mean its good.

  When people hear “good news” about inflation they expect prices to be stable*, and they just arent yet.

  *or go back to how they were, which is a problem the boe alone cant be expected to educate on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British inflation hits lowest in almost a year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Its 3% or so. No it isnt good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fighting games have a product design problem⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As an outsider the reason i domt bother with these is you have to know every damn iframe and move flow timing perfectly to even know what the game is.

  Theres one point in this article about a practice mode thats totally wrong.
  Then later one saying single player should teach you this stuff. This is right.

  Reimagining these games as a 2d souls like would be incredible. But then, those games have loot and xp to soften the harsh reality of the skill ceiling. Would fighting games lovers accept that? I think no.

  I have a suspicion trump hates this entirely because it was planned by biden originally.

  He being mad about free land makes even less sense than he usually does.

  Come on, copy pasta is an entirely different form and they work due to being identical, or near, every time.

  Theres a very subtle line where youve adapted them to the specific situation that they no longer work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans are part of the ecosystem.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your meme has too many words and the four block structure makes no sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France seeks to ban social media for children under 15⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No im not arguing its hard to define, im arguing that youll have to ban children from whats app. Private minecraft servers (even ones owned and run by the kids) too. If you dont do this you leave a space for the tech giants to bring the targeted ads and then youll have to ban kids from each space as they move in.

  Any communication channel will fall to this if you take the approach of banning children from them one by one instead of stopping this behaviour by the tech giants entirely by legislating against targeted advertising directly. These services are just as toxic to adults.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France seeks to ban social media for children under 15⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the line between “social media” and “talking to other people” is so blurry as to not exist.

  Also, and more importantly, the power of these companies is so great in effect youll only enforce that facebook etc. are the only ways of talking to each other that van exist legally and entrench the very problem you want to solve.

  For example, is whats app social media?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France seeks to ban social media for children under 15⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not sure what youre arguing here? its possible to control access well as a parent, but so much easier if the state gorce everyone on the internet to provide id in order to prevent teenagers talking to eavh other?

  You yourself csn tsrget what you think is harmful but a law will hit everything and everyone, and like i implied in the driveby abiut roblox still might not actually block something you find unacceptable.

  This is just the wrong approach to achieve the goal.

  Youre on lemmy! This is like the one place people will decry facebook, x, reddit, insta etc. But what your arguing for will end up with them as the only services that can navigate existing legally, and children will still work around blocks because they simply dont care about consequences for lying about their age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France seeks to ban social media for children under 15⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dont worry theyll get plenty of poison after the ban too from roblox chat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your Nope Rope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No , look, the caudrvus isnt a medicsl symbol. Someone ages ago in america got it wrong and used it everywhere and now people are confused and use a symbol of hermes god of merchants as a medica…

  OMG you fools, this explains everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your Nope Rope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Im talking about the heart one cos it looks like two snakes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your Nope Rope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally someone justifies using a caudecus as a medcine symbol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We already know what country we’re in.

  Whats it communicating? State ownership?

  Any idiot can use the union jack in a logo. And they do.

  I dont entirely hate it and theres an argument the state should make the flag mean something by using it. I just dont think they can.

  Any trust and brand awareness they build up can be undermined immediately by someone using almost identical branding to sell soggy cardboard sandwiches outsude the station.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The steam ban was ages ago, the news was recent. They decided to go loud about the steam ban as they released, its clearly pr. I dont think they got banned intentionally but the differwnce is a little academic when you cry this loudly about it.

  Guess what fuckers, they dont want to be there any more than you want them there. Fix the gp system and it’ll all magically disappear.

  Shocking no one wants to try and have a conversation about their health by shouting over the counter to a pharmacist in a packed shop as they vaguely listen with one ear while packing medication.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess they made the promise to compete with poe but eventually found out why it is so hard to make work.

  Still, interesting explanations from everyone. thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But grim dawn has classes in the dlc expa sions 🤔

  I have played Vintage Story and moose are the apex predator for me. Ill fight any number of horrifying eldritch rot rust monsters from another dimension before i go near a moose.

  The koch brothers were behind the tea party, and ive never seen anything linking them to russia.

  At a guess that astroturf movement was hijacked by others but im not sure we can pin much of thst on russia specifically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, If the truth is theyre barely afloat theyre not going to change anything by delaying the report. The time its reporting has passed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of very confused people here who think an earnings delay means ubi havent made much money. Cant say if they have or not, but if they havent thats still not a reason for this kind of delay

  And you need a blank tape to copy too, which did have to pay a charge to content firms to cover piracy.

  In this tortured analogy the blanks are also included in the ai firm product, so yes they would have had to pay

  You have to use special deals for dominos. Its competitive then. They have standard ones on all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally someone who admits it, had far too many people try to say boomer shooters are named after shotguns.

  Dont expect us slightly elderly gamers to call our precious childhood games by the name of a group that fucked us all over first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I swear you youngsters wouldnt know a boomer if they stole all your money and then made you pay for their retirement.

  Spook Bullshit I think.

  Both in amount our security services rely on them (terrible to let happen) but also the amount of retaliation they can employ.

  Also explains why no one talks about it.
