A sequel was recently announced so it’s probably good to stir up some interest.

Thank you for doing this. I’m sure it’s taken a decent amount of time, but it seems like you’re headed in the right direction.

And he fuckin LOVES NieR

I didn’t know Chris Plante is on Lemmy.

It’s episodic and each episode is its own self-contained thing. You don’t build bases, but find shelter and your gear changes for each episode. You’ll still need to scavenge and craft, but it’s not

Blue Prince- I’m taking a break after getting to a certain point. It’s been great fun and the underlying message seems very timely. Gran Turismo 7- it’s my “in-between” game and I like to play the weekly challenges. Vampire Survivors- my favorite game on my phone. I was on a break but I’m back to seeing gem explosions when I close my eyes.

Better hope you paid your fire suppression subscription!

Fuck HP. I could see these assholes charging you a fee to download anything or use their device in any meaningful way. They are leaders in the enshittification race.

I take my dog for a walk in my neighborhood and walk by no less than 10 different camera setups, and those are the ones I actually notice. Paranoia has led us down the road to a post-privacy society.

It’s been a problem for awhile. The media needs clicks so saying something is 7.5/10 doesn’t really drive engagement. Gamers have especially fed into this narrative because the media surrounding new products is always filled with hype and billed as the next greatest thing. It’s caused justified pushback from the community, but I think the pendulum has swung a bit in the other direction now. It’s tough feeling lukewarm about something when you’ve been told it’s supposed to be great. Additionally, the publishers, and some developers, in this industry are greedy cutthroats, which has made them easy targets for people’s frustration. The problem is now that frustration is focused on EVERYTHING involving the games industry.

I’ve noticed that anyone who has gotten one newly installed can’t stop looking at it for every small thing. It’s like built-in paranoia. Not to mention that every time I take a walk in my neighborhood I’m now on bunch of different people’s cameras without even knowing it.

There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible, and trust me when I say I understand how they operate. The first trump admin made it easier to fire federal workers, and believe it or not, there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job. I’m “making an educated guess” that some of those people facing disciplinary actions took the option to resign because I’m telling you what I’m personally seeing.

Im making an educated guess that there’s a decent amount of those 40k employees that were actually facing disciplinary actions or termination and are using it as a way to possibly avoid it.

This has been going on for quite some time, and will just continue in the background. I always had suspicions about all the positive comments on advertisements. This just confirms that they’re faking engagement numbers.

I have a local group that’s constantly filled with questions like this and I swear it’s just people wanting attention. Most of them know how to use a search engine.

Western civilization has been addicted to cheap labor since the very beginning. From the Spartan slave state to the modern outsourcing of labor to people who get paid near slavery wages, or just old-fashioned slavery in some cases, even today. Humans are the root of the problem. It’s not a system or idea that’s the root cause, it’s us.

It happens on a regular basis

Only thing I worry about with toys is if the plastic they use is non-toxic. Most cheap toys sold online aren’t tested for plastic toxicity.

Open pit is much more common for this type of equipment and it’s basically a reverse mountain. Still might be enough regenerative braking from just the weight of the truck though.

It’s worth trying out just for the weirdness of it all.
