Not really. There's a ton of other survival games I'd rather play, and the game's progression feels like it's deliberately just fast enough to keep me from closing it. After 8 hours or so I closed and uninstalled because it feels engaging enough to play, but not enough to be anything but chores.

The boss battles suck, the crafting has arbitrary timers to it. I just really don't find it fun at all.

I love monster collection games, and I enjoy survival, but this definitely isn't for me.

What sites would these be, out of curiosity?

Devs clearly refers to the company that develops the game. Try again.

The fact that you're harping on this point is because you know I don't agree with personal harassment. You are aware that I don't agree with people being abusive about specific people who work for the company. You're making bad faith arguments to try to prove "You were saying this", which I was not, and if I was, is clearly not what I intended. Move on.

I repeat, for the last time, I've never advocated for toxicity or harassment to workers. Only to the companies they represent. Please, if you're going to argue with me, argue based on what I say, not what you decide I mean.

Sorry, but being toxic about a company is distinct from harassing the individual CM. You're gonna need to try a different line of reasoning because this is a pretty foolish one.

Remember when they launched the game in a shit state and charged full price for it, then failed to communicate? Actions speak louder than words, and those are some pretty toxic actions.

Sorry but I did specify publishers and companies multiple times. I've never once even alluded to personal harassment as I obviously don't believe in that. I however do think that this game deserves the toxicity it sees and the company deserves to be harassed for not delivering on their promise of a worthwhile product for which many people paid nearly $70 (CAD).

Your company? 100%. Absolutely. I implore people to abuse all companies, even.

Is a publisher who's failed to live up to the promise of a good game entitled to a good community? The fact they have any at all is a blessing.

Toxic devs get a toxic community. Why should I express sympathy for them experiencing consequences?

I'd have to imagine it would.

If you post something to the public internet it will be indexed.

Yup. Anyone who believes our federal police force is any less corrupt than that of our neighbours to the south is deluded. We have many of the same problems, albeit some of them manifest slightly differently.

PC gaming's grown a ton since, in particular, 2016 when the 1000 series of nvidia cards released. I've seen all my gaming spaces become more and more PC oriented, with Nintendo Switch often serving as the accessory console to the PC.

PS5's flopped in terms of actually having anything interesting and unique, and Xbox fits nicely into the PC gaming space anyways.

This isn't a lemmy thing. This is you being behind the times and struggling to keep up.

Imagine if companies could just sue and take down products just because they could theoretically be used to view pirated content (not to pirate, but to view it).

Goodbye Adobe Acrobat Reader, v1 Nintendo Switches, all home PCs, Android phones, and web browsers,

Steal everything. Fuck these garbage pieces of shit. Galen Weston's gonna burn in hell, wearing some sweet kicks made from the flesh of all the Canadians he's killed.

If you do, I'd be interested to hear results. Deluge's plugins are nice and it's easy to make your own. If it wasn't for the performance issues, I'd likely still be there.

Yes, and I'd refute the expert in question on the merit of their points, or their qualifications, not solely based on who transcribed and reported on it. If your only argument against my entire post is that 1 website I used as a reference is Turkish, seriously, you need to work on your rhetorical skills.

Ya, my only issue with Deluge is after ~500 torrents it starts to slow. I'm on private trackers, so I always tend to have ~2,000 torrents seeding at once. For my particular usecase, it simply becomes too slow and bogged down to be viable.

Granted, I've not used Deluge in some 2 or 3 years; maybe they improved process handling since then? I'd love to be corrected if so.

By the UN definition, Hamas is a genocidal organisation

The UN does not define "genocidal organisation", but instead defines genocide. Does an organization who intends to commit genocide meet the definition of a genocidal organization, or would it be an organization who has both the will and the means to, or would it be an organization who is committing genocide? That's not defined by the UN and the nuance of that is very important to the claim.

Its founding charter, published in 1988, explicitly commits it to obliterating Israel. Article 7 states that “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them”. Article 13 rejects any compromise, or peace, until Israel is destroyed.

Here's the charter. In the preamble it states "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it". The particular translation I'm using of this document has it written as "The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees." I don't speak arabic and as such cannot comment if perhaps it's simply that the term they use for "fight" is also one that explicitly means to kill as well, or what, but the second part does make clear that the intent is to eventually oppress the Jewish people and send them into hiding.

I'd recommend reading through the entire document if you have time.
