Oh for sure that too. Also that was a great video.

On the other hand, browsing ev charging forums reveals one melted socket after another

Often this is due to using portable chargers that someone is frequently plugging/unplugging in a socket designed for appliances that stay plugged in. You can't cheap out on the 14-50 socket and sadly people often do

This isn't dirty laundry, this is current events. This event happened last week.

If you are referring to the game, the article calls out the US and UK, but the game description itself just says western, which probably means several locations. But even if it is just the US and UK, who cares? The US and UK have a fuckton of dirty laundry that is still being aired out, and this South African dev has the right to address concerns with those two countries that have had direct harm to their culture

Ah yes, getting angry over someone appealing to fascists is just tribalism. My bad

You mean in 2017 like the article pointed out. And maybe there should have been backlash for it. It was a shitty thing to do then, and an even worse thing to do now

Shit take. There is a difference between seeing something out on the street and choosing not to support a developer because of their shitty behavior

The political implications were the point though. Or do you think he had no idea what he was doing? The "We didn't know it would be taken as a political statement" BS is just damage control

AFAIK, there is no international law against declaring martial law. Even if it were the case, this administration has shown they do not give even 1/4 of a shit about the constitution or law.

lol, fair, but I thought it was a smaller part of your post and figured that if it was coming from someone who did not have a dog in the fight it might hammer it home

Pretty much everyone here knows Reddit and Conde Nast are bad for a multitude of reasons, but that does not mean the journalists at Ars are bad at their jobs. They also have nothing to do with any alleged anti-not Conde Nast bias of Reddit mods (I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but the evidence you posted here is a lot of nothing). People can do good work at shitty companies, and a lot of shitty companies don't have a hand in day to day operations in companies. Hell, in the US, that is becoming the rule and not the exception. Again, I am not saying Conde Nast doesn't necessarily have a thumb on the scales at Ars, but you have provided no evidence of that.

And once again, even if we take everything you say as true, the fact remains that the journalists at Ars have absolutely nothing to do with Reddit. The heads of Conde Nast might, and for sure read articles from their outlets with a critical eye, but those are two different things.

Finally, bringing your problems with Reddit to a completely different platform is just silly, especially on Lemmy, and especially especially to Beehaw. If you want to have a bitchfest, that is fine. This just isn't the place to do it.

Wat?

1.1 is out on the 10th, so should be even better!

Agreed. The actually discovery is so cool, and the joke means people probably won't read the article.

That is good to hear. Still not my jam, but always better to have a welcoming community

I think tactics can pretty easily be done while rping. They mostly want you not to use modern terms and follow the personality of your character as far as I can tell

I don't think practicality is really the point, but I also am not a fan of all roleplay. It tends to be pretty hostile to new players

In most games/servers that enforce roleplay, it is a ban. Either temp or permanent

Did you read the whole article, or just the blurb posted here?

No, you're all good, just my brain being one track

Oh, that kind of taint. Having played the game instead thinking about it in the corrupted sense
