Hey, I don’t judge. I might only pirate media I’ve already bought (like when I couldn’t find my copy of a movie) but firmly agree with Gabe Newell that piracy is a service issue first and foremost. Additionally if you can’t own the game you buy I can’t view it as stealing. If there is a crack for Civ 7 or Dragons Dogma 2, I’ll probably buy a copy then get the cracked version for performance.

Edit: The first three games I listed came from the subreddit mentioned in the article.

Reminds me of the bot ban wave done just about a year ago. Maybe hosts will do the same again, or make account generation have a pending status.

No. You, flicker, are clearly in charge of all the decisions of the US Government when it comes to foreign interference.

I hope Lemmy continues to grow as other sites keep getting worse. That will probably help round out the content. I’m only too well aware of how widespread American politics is as I have dealt with it my whole American life. I don’t blame you for avoiding it, and have only started recently engaging with it. Though, compared to other social media, I find Lemmy to be more mild in the intensity and range being pushed around the site. I expect it will increase over the next few months. As for advice, if it makes you angry/upset, then yeah, keep political instances blocked. I learned how to ignore it, but that took time. 196 is still pretty great tho. Hope you find your peace and enjoyment from the community. Ask more questions, and you’ll probably find what you’re looking for.

I don’t say that about people who know sportsball players. People know the main players in their chosen media, whether they are a fan or not.

It sounds like you feel very strongly about this. Instead of shouting online in a way that accomplishes nothing (which, again, you feel very strongly about) why not volunteer your time to reach out to the group you think should be focused on? You’ll help what you think is important and maybe get some coaching on how to effectively persuade people.

You’re being an internet troglodyte. Let the Lemming use the words they want.

I agree. I don’t understand how this is important enough for someone to report on.

Nuh-uh, not me. I stop long before they change their mind.

Its two bahd that. bothurs yew sew -much? Makes 4 ez trolling!

1. Avoidance isn’t my goal. Reduction is. Might be the same for the other commentor

2. Drink out of what you want, but I like being able to scrub my reusable bottle.

If you don’t con them, someone else will. Although their values will usually align so there is that.

I just started a free character on Dark and Darker since it’s back on Steam. The gameplay loop is satisfying, and I feel ready to start playing teams and learn to fight other players.

“We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable.”

Yeah. I heard them the first time. They’ll try it again and again until they find a way to have enough people ok with using it. Here is the next try.

Well, I appreciate the honesty. Have an upvote.

Interesting take. Do you also think of Mario Kart and Forza Horizon to be the same game?

My parents also got me a bougie one, but it was frog themed

And as a bonus, second repost

I mean, you still get the stray pube that ends up in the mouth, but that’s part of the game.
