  • Most games aren’t fully baked at release anymore. You’re not getting the full experience unless you play it down the line, sometimes years after release.

    On top of that, you have to play games on someone else’s time, that is, their license agreement.

    If I run out of steam in the middle of persona 3 reloaded, and need to take a break before I revisit it, I don’t want to have to buy it on the subscription platform again to recover my save, or have to keep the foresight that I might not beat it before it disappears.

    It’s games. It’s a distraction, a joy. I shouldn’t have to manage anything else or have to pay anything I don’t want to.

  • If people thought algorithms were bad before, they’re about to get a titans times worse for Reddit.

    I have a self-hosted troddit instance I use to check up on smaller communities, or to replace Reddit.com queries from search engine results with abs when it loads the front page vs the Reddit.com front page is vastly different.

    There’s no surprise why they got rid of the api, because they’re playing with engagement and need more direct access.

  • There’s no way they’re this stupid, right?

    You can piss off the rich folks, but most regular people won’t care most of the time, especially since people don’t give a flying fuck about their data privacy anyway, but this is the point where you really put a target on your back.

    Stick to casinos, finance and market makers, the general public won’t bat an eye. Go after kids at a non profit? Well good luck, no one is even pretending to be on your side anymore.

  • I know I moved off the Xbox version because it was so far behind. Heard how difficult Microsoft makes it to upload and push updates too.

    Guess you just have to be an incredible success of a video game to actually get attention from them to work with you.

  • Agreed.

    Mental health is part of our health, just like dental and medicine should be. It shouldn’t be universal unless it covers head to toe.

    Not everyone’s answer is going to be the same, either, so I don’t believe in restricting someone’s access to something if they feel it’s their time. At the same time, they should be given every resource to make the right decision for them, and to try to get better.

  • And yet people seem to be increasingly moving towards right governments and their “easy answers”, even though they almost invariably are neo-liberal, pro-corporation governments, and love to squash social safety nets and climate programs in favour of more breaks for the rich and their companies.

    The media is also getting taken over by right wing interests, that peddle their side and push propaganda that pushes the Overton window further right.

    They also make any “leftist” movement or bill as seeming way too extreme, while out the other side of their mouth are more than happy to make huge sweeping moves to little to no objection.

    The right uses anger very effectively, and the left likes to take the high road, but I fear it’s going to be the end of us all. Any revolution is going to be too slow and too short or a movement at this rate.

  • We allowed and continue to allow the rich and the corporations to vacuum up our money at increasing rates while more people become marginalized.

    In a post-scarcity world on the brink of climate ruin, how have we let them let us think this is an ok normal?
