The only vibe I get from you is "15yo who just learned about politics".

AN: read this user's comment history lmao

They have Douyin (it's a carbon copy of tiktok). Rednote released a public statement welcoming US users, no evidence that what this article implies is being considered at all. The evidence is a reddit post. You are responding in agreement to a propaganda rag.

I didn't intend it to be directly insulting, but it seems like you're well aware how lemmy leans already and you're willing to double down on centrist stalling points anyway. With no realistic middle choices available, and none cropping up, Americans are a little more than a little tired of centrist talking points.

It's because you're a centrist.

This is becoming less true for FPS every month - the described method of cheating (off-device reading and input simulation) is becoming more accessible as more cheat makers are selling premade devices that do this. Huge problem even for new shooters like rivals - someone was already caught doing it in one of their ingame tournaments. It's the primary way people cheat in League of Legends, and it would not surprise me to see evidence of it in dota 2(though I haven't personally, I haven't been paying attention to it for some years and it isn't as frequent that a variety streamer or youtuber plays it compared to lol).

As mentioned before, kernel anticheat won't catch these guys anyway, so it's largely just a way to alienate your user base. There's a new problem it does nothing special to solve.

America is the only major player that still has an olympus problem. Swearing fealty to the gods should not increase your chance of being elected - but it does in the wild west. We're all tired of the US being a clown country, no need to point externally when there's this many problems in the states. This post would go over great on reddit.

Also, your username is pretty close to just outright being a nazi dogwhistle. Maybe delete your account and try again.

It was about the time they pushed the inclusion of banner ads in the application. Nobody left skype until advertisements were plastered all over it, even some with sound. Most of my gaming friends were early haters, as we'd been using Xfire and it served our primary purpose just fine.

Microsoft didn't spend multiple decades trying to force their own chargers and ports over universal standards. Not saying any of them are good, but apple is in no way better and has spent years creating contention between consumers. It's just as likely they sell your tracking data as anyone else, they spend developer time every month making sure their ecosystem is considered better for cultural reasons while being ostensibly worse than competitors for most things. Their phones are generally a year or more behind competitors but they have made-up features that serve no purpose consumers rally around like imessage. They have a tiny sandbox to play in without completely voiding your warranty - Themes instead of real customization. "Blue bubbles"? Are you kidding me? How about allowing any form of tinkering beyond a garden path? How about supporting repair of devices at their actual branded stores? They're easily up there as one of the worst for consumers at large.

Outer Wilds. Wish I could forget it, as the progression is based entirely on player knowledge it has 0 replayability(I mean this as an endorsement).

NP don't bother me at all, but that user intentionally stirs the shit in myriad other ways. Short account lifetime, TONS of replies, intentionally controversial posts, feels the need to comment on every single post that gets traction. I think "we should be nice to AI because it might be alive" has been my least favorite arc so far, close between that and declaring all of lemmy transphobic (in a BZ post no less). Block drag and move on. This post was proof enough for me personally it was a great choice.

Willful ignorance is the most disappointing feature of humanity

The biggest risk we see (outside the risks that are the same as those from cigarettes but less severe) is circulatory health risks (vessel function). Sure, you have increased risk of respiratory disease, but not nearly as bad as cigarettes. The real benefit is that most vaporizers and eliquids are not carcinogenic (directly cancer causing) the way cigarette smoking is, so you can lose the added chance of getting cancer while titrating nicotine dosage down to nothing over a longer period; one of the main failure points of nicotine gums and patches is that they aren't effective methods for pack-a-day smokers, the usual suggested regimens have them in withdrawal headaches and brain fog quickly and many smokers quit quitting on week one or two.

We have dozens of ten year studies with HUGE N already. Read them. Check out the REPRIEVE trial data. If you seriously think every single one of the currently available studies and trial results are not "legit science data" you're insane.

India only has openhathi, dhenu, bhashini, krutrim and like a dozen other LLM so I cannot see how you could think they aren't developing AI. This is a wildly wrong claim lol

Tombstone is out! Skilling MMO (So think runescape) with a retro-future wild west type theme and pixel gfx that can be played from steam, its own client (available on itch), a browser, or android. Runs on anything, obscenely fast update pace, developers on discord respond to issues dummy fast. I'm currently playing tombstone.

CRPG doesn't usually refer to MMOs or action rpgs. They're referring to games that emulate a tabletop RPG but on a computer, which is where the C comes in. Generally they're modeled after Dungeons and Dragons or similar systems, like Pathfinder.

With the listed items, the dad could be Jerma or Sodapoppin. Audio software is for everyone.

Nintendo is just as bad as the "other big publishers" and your sentiments aren't founded in reality. Their gacha practices, frivolous licensure of hardware, and constant patent trolling bring the games industry as a whole down as people like you paint them as a forerunner. I'll try not to write a whole TED talk but no promises.

Someone mentioned just the Pokemon TCG, but almost every mobile game nintendo has released has had one of the worst dollar spend ratios out of the genre they chose. Fire emblem? Obscenely expensive. Pokemon go? LONG time gating unless you cheat or pay. Dragalia Lost brought in tens of millions annually - 1 in 200 chance from the average loot box for a dude. Don't get me started on pokemon quest, one of the most "get mom and dad's credit card" games ever devised. Literal loot boxes were only removed from mario kart tour late 2022.

Nintendo has a couple of exceptional quality teams but those teams would be that quality with or without the Nintendo brand attached to them. There is nothing special about the company or the manner it is run when you compare it to the other major gaming companies, right down to release quality being low for many games because of crunch and share-driven deadlines. Hell, some of their flagship franchises have been victim to it recently (Pokemon titles).

Nintendo puts their seal of approval on peripherals for their systems - have you ever bought a nintendo brand microSD for the switch? Grandma has paid 4x+ the price every year for a nintendo switch branded microSD that might not even come in a file format that works on the switch. All this, of course, to support the console with bar none the worst online connectivity that you must pay for, that cannot be improved by any means. Seriously, the ethernet dongle makes absolutely 0 difference in stability or quality if one player is using it, and it hardly improves things even when all connected players are using it. Insane waste of money.

Anyway Nintendo literally does do that. They are greedy (mobile game cost:return ratios), corner-cutting (trash licensed peripherals), and draconic in the way they patent vague game interactions and prosecute anyone for trying to innovate in "Their space" (see the recent patents locking everyone except nintendo out of the sleep game space). They lock access to their games away from the public, and what they HAVE done is re-release, at full price, decades old games for limited times (Mario collection).

There's interviews confirming they have interest in NFT and Metaverse titles going back to 2022, it is a matter of time. TL;DR the corporation is not your friend and you are only considering a tiny fraction of what they do.

You can bookmark webpages to come back to later and even organize them in trees by category. You can ceeate a playlist of songs from youtube and import it to a service with no ads like piped, then shuffle it. If you're willing to put up with 30+ open tabs these are much less time consuming than scrolling through the default way it situates tabs, AND there aren't 30 open tabs sucking your resources.

If you already knew all this, I'm almost sorry.

You can't change where or how you're born, but you can change what instance you're on with almost no impact to yourself. Maybe spend ten, fifteen minutes on copying your subscriptions over manually. It's like changing out of a T-shirt with really unfortunate text you couldn't read before putting it on, one of the greatest benefits of federation.

The hallmark of roguelikes is procedural generation, permanent death and no overarching progression, like the titular game Rogue. Roguelites (I know, one letter difference who cares) have overarching progression lines that make the game easier as you play it. Extreme difficulty as part of the roguelike formula is expected, since runs where you don't become very powerful very quickly happen, and the games are often balanced against some of the better possible runs.

Gungeon is punishing, but I regret to inform you you are FAR from too weak to finish floor 2 with the default kit of any character. Bashing your head against a challenge is fine as long as you're learning something every time you don't make it through, gungeon is simply a game where getting hit at all is really bad.

All that said, gungeon isn't the highest quality roguelike or roguelite. That's probably SLASH'EM (roguelike) or Elona (Roguelike(?)), and Hades (roguelite) or Windblown (roguelite, still in development). I won't even recommend roguelikes without graphics because the average age in this thread seems mighty low.
