Reddit also mass banned the worse people around that time and I suspect they did it to internationally poison the user base of Voat.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 4 days ago:
Voat was setup to be a one-to-one clone of reddit, minus any moderation and it failed because it was one-to-one. Lemmy/federation is functionally different.

Swap out beans for bacon and it’s slashdot in its prime, minus the libertarians.

When the other platforms were twitter and facebook, it wasn’t really wrong either. The bar was just that low.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 1 week ago:
Bungie had always been a Mac first, PC/console later game dev up to that point.

A post made on a public forum is public information. I’ve used post history to figure out if someone was serious vs telling a joke that fell flat or for weird patterns.

He was like that back with The Apprentice. The scenes with him telling the contestant off had them in different rooms.

ACLU, EFF, FFRF…
The problem is, these groups try to do things honestly.

I just finished Doom 3 after getting it for free on GoG a while back. It’s… not terrible really. Not as good as the average Doom game, but not as bad as people made it out to be. The combat is weak, but the atmosphere is great.

No, people were getting suspicious of the possible Goblin = Jew metaphor was getting discussed at that time.

But maybe don’t include the floor in the center shot when you’re already being accused of antisemitism.

Yes, but Hermione was one of the good ones and the system found her and elevated her.

I stopped buying anime when they bought up all the major NA distributors.

There was binary for UT2k4 that never made it to Steam for no good reason. Fuck Tim Sweeney for delisting the Unreal franchise.

You underestimate my level of cynicism at this point. You also underestimate my disrespect for the average gamer. If they’re not lapping up on form of propaganda, they’re lapping up another.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure how much I should care. I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game in decades anyway. They don’t make anything I need, so it’s not like it’s an inconvenience to boycott.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 3 weeks ago:
Ubisoft better get comfortable with not owning their own company.

Maybe. He’s old enough, but he also get a lot of his “science” from old scifi novels.

If you’re serious, I think you’re mistaken who’s making the statement. I’ve had conversations with humanity majors who made comments about mushrooms being plants despite the obvious fact that they don’t photosynthesize. Never mind that they breath oxygen in and release co2.
- Comment on Not impressed 3 weeks ago:
Or that mushrooms aren’t plants.

He probably has blackmail on some producer. They probably have the same blackmail on them. They’ve probably been to the same Epstein parties and if not Epstein, someone else’s parties.

- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 4 weeks ago:
Marathon (1994) has several call outs to the player when the AI giving you mission briefing calls the PC out for not caring and just wanting to shoot things. There’s a lot of meta commentary in that series.
- Comment on A hypothesis 4 weeks ago:
There was a fairy large era of macs that were way more open to customization then windows. Probably still true because Microsoft has gotten a lot more aggressive about locking down their os and the average gamer has no clue how to install mods if it isn’t from the Steam workshop.

Her editor was very good. As the books went on and JK got veto power over her editor, the books got worse and more problematic.

The official story that the Red Ranger being a Native American, the Yellow Ranger being Asian, etc… being an accedent is plausible enough. Sure. Maybe someone who was involved with casting thought it would be funny and didn’t tell anyone?
Harassing the gay actor out of the production should be the thing more people talk about.
