  • You don't open the proverbial door of discussion by removing its proverbial hinges.

  • Who said anything about the USSR being good?

    Funny that you go to the old "you're just jealous and that's why you hate capitalism so much" pov though. I have no interest in your bad faith arguments, so I'm not gonna engage further than this. Google what arguments people use against that or something if that'll make you feel better.

  • To be clear, of the ones listed I only care about TOTK and BG3. I'm looking at "megaton games" by a general ascertainment of how relevant they are to the enthusiast gamers, and how much they sell. FFXVI came out and kinda did not great for an FF game so I'll concede there. No idea about Diablo 4, I assume it was middling or "as expected", while TOTK sold 18 million in its first 6 weeks; though I may largely be familiar with that due to being in proximity of Nintendo-related circles.

    It really is subjective what measure we're using though. BG3's been amazing in relative terms to what would typically be expected of "DnD RPG" (maybe there's a better term), and developers have been reacting to it far more than they would most other megaton games. TOTK's no slouch on its own, impressing developers over its extremely impressive yet performent physics engine.

    Anyways, not really interested in arguing my perspective though, since like you said this is extremely subjective, and honestly quite arbitrary.

  • Facebook takes biometric data from pictures that aren't uploaded to the platform. All it takes is for them to have access to the filesystem of the user's mobile OS.

    This is why I fullstop do not let people take photos of me where I can help it. I'm fucking tired of being made a datapoint.

  • None are baldur's gate. While I'm loving baldur's gate, it's far from a market disruptor. The three games I was thinking of were TOTK, Diablo 4, and FFXVI.

  • a game of this magnitude isn’t a common occurrence.

    It kind of is though. We've already had at least 3 games of this magnitude drop this year alone.

  • Their politics makes its way up here, so when a fascist leader rises, bringing with him anti-blackness, and anti-LGBTQ+ perspectives, it leads to a rise in that disgusting hate in Canada too. We can see that in our Conservative Party having become much more radically anti-human than they were 5 or 10 years ago; electing Skippy as their leader, who was groomed to be a neo-fascist by Harper himself.

  • For starters, don't make a post asking how to make a torrent site on your main account lol

  • Ya, I've noticed pretty consistently that kbin.social's userbase is pretty hardcore dog-shit. Far worse than even the general riffraff of lemmy.world.

  • I think you did. Person I was responding to had dbzer0 as their home instance, which was made with the express purpose of giving piracy on lemmy a (somewhat) dedicated home.

  • Anymore? Yes. Used to be more, but at this point it's basically just the shittiest person of the bunch.

  • I am Canadian lmao

  • I thought this was gonna be a new strategy on how to disrupt the workplace, but instead it's a lame corpo guide for people in redundant positions to herd you like cattle.

  • GOG. I don't like steam so I try to avoid it where there's not a large price difference.

  • They're still federated with the instances, they've just blocked those particular communities for any user to see or interact with through Lemmy.world.

    So for example, !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com should still be there.

  • I think we've taken a number of reasonable steps over the last 200 years.

  • No, they're all powerful boogeymen in control of our entire society who have us sell our bodies just to live. They do all this in daylight where it can be seen, and are such clever con artists are to make fools think it's good and normal to do so.

    we’re just not gonna get me to agree that killing innocent people is “good.”

    I never claimed that, nor do I wish to kill the guilty, but if wishing execution (a penalty under law) of an oppressive class is not "killing innocent people".

    But go off
