    • Which movie/tv streaming site in the megathread is your favorite?

    Jump

  • Braflix is awesome, it's my default go-to

    • Analysis: Nuclear war would be more devastating for Earth’s climate than cold war predictions

    Jump

  • No I believe you're being intellectually disingenuous, because you're now paraphrasing the comment you responded to, to try and twist the argument in your favour, the previous interaction was :

    • Russia claiming X means war with NATO has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout the war.

    To which you directly replied

    • Please do provide a previous official quote from Russia stating that. I’ll save you the trouble though, cause it doesn’t exist.

    I'm not sure I quite like where this is going and I'm not in the mood for arguing over such a minimal thing, so I'd like to end the interaction here, see ya around !

    • Analysis: Nuclear war would be more devastating for Earth’s climate than cold war predictions

    Jump

  • Idk where you're going with this, I just felt like looking for direct quotes, because you asked for any quote from Russian officials saying that X would mean war with NATO.

    While stating :

    I’ll save you the trouble though, cause it doesn’t exist.

  • Putin: NATO's Approval of Use of Long-Range Missiles by Ukraine Will Mean It is at War With Russia

    ‘Extremely Clear’: Kremlin Comments on Putin's Warning About West’s Arms Striking Deep Into Russia

    Putin Warns NATO Long-Range Missile Strikes Will Put Them at War with Russia

    Russia warns NATO of ‘direct war’ over Ukraine

    Enemies must realize Russia could go nuclear – ex-Kremlin adviser

    Do note that I did not have to look for "western anti russian propaganda media" like.... mainstream news. These are Russian state sponsored news websites.

    • These are the Game of the Year frontrunners

    Jump

  • If you were to judge based on this list, this would be a poor year for video games

    • Does Mochi look happy to you?

    Jump

  • Those are the winks of love

    • Steam Families is here

    Jump

  • Finally! Now I can switch back to the "normal" Steam Beta build for other experimental features, Steam Family was on a separate beta build which didn't allow me to try other things...

    • What browser do yall use?

    Jump

    • What Browser do you use on Android, and why?

    Jump

  • Firefox because of the addons, also because it syncs (weirdly, but still) with Firefox on my pc

    • As the Borderlands movie slides into oblivion and Risk of Rain 2's new DLC burns, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford compares himself to The Beatles, who he says only "had a 25% hit rate"

    Jump

  • Yeah idk what else can be a testimony of a game being a "hut" ; I don't trust metacritic scores either

    • Could an American please prove me wrong?

    Jump

  • Listenbourg from Lidl

    Jump

  • Yeah I went to Wikipedia to check the numbers :

    The group's "main catalogue"—songs released between 1962 and 1970—consists of 213 songs

    So that's like 50+ songs that were "hits", wake me up when Gearbox releases 200+ games and 50 of those are nominated for at least one awards

    • Gearbox's first Risk of Rain 2 expansion gets hammered on Steam as developer admits the PC version 'is in a really bad place'

    Jump

  • That was what I was trying to convey thanks for being better at words haha

    Jump

  • I remember when gearbox released a video about working on ROR2 after they acquired the IP. The CEO or creative director or whoever was talking about understanding people's expectations, and called them "users". Not players, not fans, just "users". I thought this was a good enough warning that they had no idea what they were doing.

    I think it was this video but I don't remember the timestamp : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzD3jWETeW4 the fact that this is barely a documentary on the history of the game and itself a disguised and for their upcoming (at the time) dlc was another forewarning sign...

    • Ubisoft Gives Annoyed Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Players Who Paid to Play Early but Lost All Progress a Trinket and Some Loyalty Points No-One Wants

    Jump

  • On the other hand, since it's Ubisoft, you're guaranteed a 70% sale 8 months after release for each of their games. I don't know why anyone would buy their games on release when they all get deep discounts less than a year later

    Unless it's because so many people fall for their scams that they can afford those kind of sales

  • This interaction reads like a tennis match

    • Sanders’ Convention Speech Attacked by NYT for Advocating Popular Policies

    Jump

  • but the electoral math didn’t seem to be on Sanders’s mind.”

    No indeed, Sanders has the people's rights in mind, first and foremost,

    "electoral maths" is such a cynical view of the political fight... Dare I even say this is a loser mindset

    • How is Open Source project work paid?

    Jump

  • Oh wow thanks for the correction, I'll edit my comment

    • How is Open Source project work paid?

    Jump

  • Most open source projects will have a donation page / link, so it relies on people feeling compelled to donate because the software provided is useful to them.

    Lemmy for example has options for financially supporting its development. Some Lemmy instances also feature a link to a donation page to cover the hosting costs.

    Some have an organisation behind it, like Firefox has the Mozilla Foundation to finance it. Actually it's the other way around, see ahal's comment below

    The team behind VLC has a "for profit" branch that adapts the video software for companies, allowing them to also finance VLC's development in addition to donations.
