Nothing about Lemmy would suggest people would like Epic anymore than any other place on the internet. Their exclusivity deals have the potential to upset anybody regardless of what website they post on, so while there's absolutely a degree of hivemind hatred, it's rooted in understandable reasons.
That being said, it's disingenuous of that person to imply that Epic never gives any good reasons to use the platform, the biggest being the waves of free games they put on "sale" from time to time, though you could go down another rabbit hole of whether thats really something that would make gamers want to use the platform, or if it's just a nice bonus people pop in to claim while still spending their money on Steam when it comes to actual purchases.
Traditional game ownership already ended once after the popularization of digital downloads, but you're right, it could end all over again in an even more dire way if cloud gaming gets popularized as well.
You display the problem with that system in your own comment through your wording of "should be". Everyone knows what downvotes and upvotes should be, but due to their intent being unenforceable they just become "that person liked or didn't like this for reasons beyond my knowledge and understanding"
Complaining is pointless. Unless the mods make a new community about reddit discussion and a separate one for news, with both heavily moderated to focus the content, then you won't get only what you want to see.
Like everybody else said, it's a community about Reddit, not Reddit news, anything about Reddit goes, even if it's sentimental bitching
I used to work at Publix, the average bagging employee is not gonna give a shit if you want to bag yourself, but they are trained to do it. The customer's preference will be more important, especially at Publix where customer service is a point of pride. If you firmly and kindly say that you're going to bag it yourself, then they'll understand.
Gotcha, the way you phrased the sentences was a little confusing. I agree, if we are talking strictly about the givernment and not the people as a whole, then I believe you are correct
So your answer is that all of the criticisms against the Chinese government are justified? It seems like that last comment says that anything that tries to justify the Chinese government's actions is... Unjustified
I felt that too, there's absolutely a map just like this in For Honor. Can't recall the name, but the center of it is an overgrown cathedral like this.
As a silver lining maybe it's best people don't associate him with what the site has become. He was a piece of its history, but he wasn't trying to found what Reddit has become
Without more context, it seems as if your actual management is decent and understanding. I'd try and have an earnest conversation with the one you trust the most, and speak frankly about appreciating her work ethic, but that she can come off controlling and too particular to enjoy working with.
At the end of the day, if she's the same rank as you her seniority does not magically make her a manager or make her advice solicited. It's not her job to set the standards of how anybody should do anything, so you are not obligated to obey or listen to her do it. As a manager I would agree with that justification and I'd try to get her to take it down a notch.
It could cause her to resent you, though, if you're the one she's chosen to let all that controlling energy out on, but it's just up to what you wanna do about it, in the end a pizza job is not an amazing, highly coveted and high paying position, if your management doesn't help you handle it, or if getting them involved makes her worse and they don't believe or help you, that's just a sign they're not that great themselves.
Was it like that when the game was fresh and you were getting into it in the beginning, or just after youd put the hours into it, and the novelty wore off?
It's funnily enough part of why I continue to return to it. Competitive games as a service are too much, I dislike having to keep up with an ever inflating hero pool and a constantly changing Meta. I can just enjoy the gameplay polished to a sheen and the natural depth
For me, Fallout 3's setting and atmosphere is more interesting to me. Plus nostalgia plays a much heavier aspect since it was my first Bethesda Fallout and the premise and mechanics of the world were more novel.
Gameplay wise 4 blows both of the others out of the water for me due to the addicting loop of collecting salvage and modifying equipment, along with the shooting finally becoming enjoyable in its own right.
Playing Heroes of the Storm vs AI, the Hitman WoA trilogy, Left 4 Dead 2, and Diablo 3 Hardcore. I can always chill on this stuff and know it'll be a good time
I wouldn't be surprised if the Slurm company dragged his mangled corpse from under the rubble and prevented him from escaping his partying even in death
It's a little sad that it's become the catchphrase of this whole situation. Of course Reddit wants you to just hate that one guy, he's the fall guy. I would hope people don't expect the company to do any different without him, they've proven time and time again that they've got one direction to go in regardless of who's running it.
It's just impossible to get people to say "fuck reddit" en masse because of the separation between Reddit the website we all upkept and created the content of, and Reddit the company making all of these decisions
It depends what you're trying to get out of it. If you're trying to relate with them then you can't really force that and you'd just have to try and steer conversation and hope to strike gold on a few things you might like in common.
But yeah, if you don't know if their interests match yours it turns into a prompting, then listening, then replying game. You conversate or ask about something general, maybe something going on around you, or something that is happening in current events, or hey, maybe you can even mention some pop culture release you haven't experienced, and ask them if they have.
If they have, then they'll tell you so and you can enquire about what they like about it, or if they don't like it, and you don't like it either, bam, relatable. If you ask about more general stuff then you can always make it more relatable by telling your experience when they've finished sharing theirs. You could ask if they paint, and if they do you can learn about it and follow up by saying you've never tried it or that you have and you're terrible, or whatever.
And then, of course, calling back to things they've mentioned previously shows you're a good listener and will get them to like you. Something like if they mention spending time with their mom recently, the conversation continues into other areas, you can later use that to pivot if the conversation dead ends by recalling, "so do you get to spend time with your mom often?" Mine doesn't live around here/I do all the time, too/what have you.
Such a shame, I would've been more interested in this game, but the similarities to both Breath of the Wild and AC Odyssey meant the itches it scratched were already taken care of for me, and partially by the same publisher, too.
