You put the Peeps in the chili, they make the chili taste… bad.

Damn shame this comment section turned into an EOS battleground. This game is worth a hell of a lot more than that.

Have I ever made it further than tier 4? No. Will I start new playthroughs countless more times in an effort to? Hell yes.

Right now. Mostly just cause my brain felt like flying off the rails. Can’t afford my meds right now, and yet we need $25k for our wedding still in 4 months, and we can’t seem to dig ourselves out of the financial hole I dug us into after leaving my last job for my mental health and be incomeless for 3 months. Fun stuff for sure.

That’s right, I have heard of some of these cases, but thank you very much for the info! I definitely didn’t want Sony to have any ground to stand on here, so happy that Valve is able to step up to protect consumers however they can.

That’s why I said I wasn’t sure and that I was asking for clarification?

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: The access hadn’t been removed yet, as the update that would enable account linking wasn’t pushed yet. As for the Steam side, I’m pretty sure people who already had the game installed should’ve had access still, although updates and general unsureness definitely could be obstacles. With this tweet, however, the update is no longer coming, and were just waiting for Sony/Valve to lift the selling/installing restrictions in those countries.

Would the publisher not have to request the game not be sold in those countries before Valve restricts the sale of it?

I believe that Valve may be the ones who do it, but just doing it without permission sounds… Illegal and out of their jurisdiction.

I know Valve controls their storefront and can absolutely pull games down, just looking for some clarification on whether this could be true or not.

Memes have become a sort of coping mechanism/method of communication, and it just reflects the the broader state of the world around them.

Places like Lemmy have becomes bastions for people to share their thoughts and opinions, because the overwhelming consensus is the acknowledgment of being helpless and this is a way to vent and share (what should be) obvious solutions to the problems we’re facing.

Sure, we go out and vote and talk to friends and family about the things we can do to make change, but we’re not in the class of people to make that change happen.

So I say fuck it, post away the neo-nilhism memes, I’ll upvote em and laugh away the enormous issues the world has.

It’s insane that a company can miss the point by this much…

Just make a good product, do everything you can to avoid fleecing your player base, and they will come. Then you can add microtransactions that people can buy. You gotta earn that shit through merit of a good game.

I said it in another one of my replies, but suffice it to say that I’m a stranger on the internet. You don’t know shit about me. Calling me a misogynist and accusing me of trying to hide behind my fancy internet words so I can continue enjoying fake porn of people I’ve never met in real life is the most insulting thing I’ve get the pleasure of receiving online.

I don’t like interacting with it much, but here we are now. You can take or leave what I say, but I do everything in my power to check my privledge at the door. I’m not interested in having discussions to convince people that I’m right, I want to have these discussions because I want to learn from others’ points of view. I won’t ever let one persons Lemmy comment completely change my opinion on theings, but I definitely will always want to have that dialogue to hopefully better inform my opinions. We could all use a dose of active listening, because that’s how problems get solved.

There’s no way that the western world can fix these issues at the same time. They can barely keep themselves from infighting, let alone solving these issues that concern the world at large. Obviously this is me making large assumptions about certain things, but it guided by my point of view that the senile class of corrupt politician that runs the majority of Western Civilization will not work on on things they deem as unimportant. Taylor Swift being able to use her platform to catapult this very serious issue to the forefront of national attention is amazing, and I want to see this through… But not at the expense of countless lives lost because society is crumbling away.

I suppose too that I have a lot of predisposed opinions about the AI discussion at large that cloud this story of any real importance to me. AI, in general, is an excellent tool that can be used to increase productivity, if used responsibly. I’m working on a solo video game project right now, using AI to help me solve logical problems and help creatively kick off some ideas when I struggle to find the right inspiration, and its a fantastic tool. A lot of people tend to dismiss it as a tool that’s exclusively used to rip of talented creators and destroy the integrity of the people that do use it in legitimate ways, like myself.

I’m not blind to the fact that this particular usage of AI is capable of doing real damage to every woman, not just Taylor. But it’s a double edged sword to me; now that we have a widespread story centering on Taylor’s experience, it’s gonna get worse way before it get better now.

I’m not the one being obtuse, I understand that this is about every woman and respecting the autonomy of every woman’s body. Overturning Wade v. Roe was the largest step back in society in the last 50 years of politics. But I like to be selective about what to talk about. I could write entire novels worth of comments on why we should care about every one of these issues. Every single one of these things is important and worth proper discussion and problem solving. My stance is that we should be more focused on not letting the world implode with all of the stupid overseas conflicts than allow the star power of Taylor Swift to distract from a larger issue.

I don’t appreciate being called misogynistic. I’d like to remind you that I’m a stranger on the internet that you don’t know shit about. I apologize that my point of view doesn’t align with yours, but to assume a horrible stance about someone you don’t know a thing about is a part of the reason why this society is so dysfunctional.

If you’d like to have a constructive conversation about how brutally misogynistic, then I’m happy to. I’m sure I could use a lesson or 2, cause I would never claim to know I have a perfect working knowledge about the issues. Only that I know enough to have intellectual conversations with other people to learn more.

Absolutely, I understand that. But still, respectfully, I don’t agree. The point I’m trying to make is that people care about women, in general, but the system could care less. It’s gotten better in years past, but the rights between men, women, and members of any other community that identify as otherwise, are not equal whatsoever.

However, any fight we put up now to equalize those rights won’t mean jack shit unless we prevent the world from turning into a glass garden from a nuclear fallout. There is an order of priority I wish would be established, and this is not the order if we wish to live as a society past the next 5 years.

I am the furthest thing away from against any “equal rights for all” movement. I want that more than anything. I hate the fact that I have to be a white man because I’d much rather fighting for a change that means something. I just look the part of one of “those people” that wishes to bury others that aren’t the same and prioritize my own interest. That’s not my game.

Love and peace for all, fuck straight white men.

Yeah! Who cares about women, fuck em!

/s

People care about women, you goon. Realize that there are many more important issues affecting the global landscape, we shouldn’t care about some fake naked pictures of a popstar.

I’d rather them find solutions to things like the 2 active wars happening in the world, the bubbling civil war on the American southern border, and golbel tensions reaching highs only seen at the beginning of the last 2 world wars…

Lets fix that shit before we allow ourselves the luxury of protecting peoples’ shareholders.

Yeah, but the conversation is about people being bale to afford it at all? Of course people who can afford it… Can afford it? That number is under 1% of the population, so it really shouldn’t be a thing.

I live in Canada, so…

Doesn’t have anything to do with $20k being absurd, but…

I actually can’t tell if you’re being serious or not…

Are you…?

Average salary in my city is ~$60k. $20k for a flight is ludicrous.

I make it a point to forget scanning half of my shit there. It’s less about self-checkout (I quite honestly don’t mind it all that much), and more about the insane cost of living now.

I refuse to spend $30 on milk, eggs, cheese, bread, and butter.

I ended up needing to take the latter of the 2 options, and I wouldn’t wish that torture on my worst enemies.

Straight out of HS I went to Uni, and it always felt like I wasn’t doing it for myself. 2.5 years and $20k later I left hastily, and went to college after a few months off. I didn’t get it right in the first year, but I went into game dev after that and barely squeaked by. Even with it being a very strong interest of mine, it was very difficult to drag myself through it. I met some incredible friends along the way that helped keep me focused enough, but it was hard.

Fast forward 3 years, and here I am now, diagnosed with mixed ADHD, medicated, with more focus than I’ve ever had. Its still not great… I have 27 years of bad habits to break, but it’s getting better.

One of the biggest things I can offer as advice is know your enemy. ADHD is tricky to deal with, but not impossible. If you have the option to make itbeasier to manage, I’d try to find a way and make it happen. I can’t speak to the autism part, but the ADHD is something that you can manage. It just takes some time.

That was me too! I guessed I had around 2k hours in RL overall, but Destiny 2 has recently just eclipsed 2k hours on just PC. Probably have 2500 in that game total now.
