If you simply start at the base and just get going, the branching paths quickly add up to an enormous amount of options. If you don’t get any decision paralysis from a tree with literally over a thousand nodes, you might just be a superhuman being.

You gotta have a crazy amount of hours in that game. That tree is complicated to read, nevermind to understand.

I’m all for the cultivation part, but not when games make it so planning it wrong means starting over and grinding a hundred hours more. To keep the analogy, if your farm is not going too well you can just change things after the next harvest. Experimentation is something that helps these games stay fresh.

And yet people still say “if you don’t like ads, pay up” as if getting ads in a subscription is not a matter of time, like it’s happening to streaming.

I’m not extremely against all of copyright because I believe artists should have some protections (though the law sucks at this), but I also believe that once something becomes a decades-old billion-dollar franchise, non-identical imitation should be fair game. Can you imagine what would happen if companies could simply say that they own whole genres?

No but Lemmy is not publicly funded so people should send them a few bucks every now and then.

There’s no reasonable form of this.

Man, we should break more stuff.

A couple years ago it wasn’t thoroughly and transparently sucking off every bit of personal data it could get, and gearing up to put adds on the desktop on top of that.

There’s only a handful of games who really need the PS5, no surprise.

You are underestimating how much bulshit people are willing to put up just to not have to make any change.

There used to be laws against this shit.

At this rate he might be applying to become a Terf Island Government Regulator probably

And here you are talking about homemade surgery when the topic of the day are pills and disability aids. All you have said in this thread is bait and switch.

…what part of the comparison you have issue with? That trans people are a marginalized group, or that what they are seeking is not nearly as harmful, yet authorities making an issue out of it regardless.

The very first thing I showed you is that the legitimate channels are unusable.

But hey, it wouldn’t be the first time “illegal drug sales” are used as a pretext to attack undesirable populations.

Always lovely when people pull the “it’s a tiny percent of people so whatever happens to them doesn’t matter”. So are disabled people. So are people with rare illnesses.

But who do you think is even going after gender-affirming hormones in the first place? It’s an unbearable risk for everyone else but whatever happens to trans people without it doesn’t matter. Funny how that is…
