Electric Boogaloo

Thank you, the website was taking forever

Lol nope, Deadlock has nothing like that in it. It’s an excellent example of what we would ask for in our online multiplayer games.

I am not happy about it, but complaining about Deadlock is spitting on what we should be rewarding imo

My immediate emotional reaction is to dunk on you. Boo hoo, a company won’t make a game you want. But you’re missing the valve you grew up with, and gaming is worse off now. Multiplayer games with subscription models and microtransactions have become the default, and we all feel it.

For me Deadlock has great characters, lore, new interesting mechanics, and only surface level similarities with DOTA. I’m not upset about it really. Just happy Valve is making anything again. Maybe I’m worn down, but so many big companies take but shits everyday I’m just happy to see one building good shit. (And it’s free!)

This is a CEO covering his ass. Nothing to see here folks

This is one of those “they’re both the same” kind of arguments. They always need tempered with a call to still vote against the other guy

And if I did mean it, you deserved it

Thank you Putin for taking out the garbage! Trump too if you please!

Extremely important point here. Lots of repubs have stuck their neck out to stop Trump, and they only last the one time. They get swapped with spineless weenies, and lose their jobs.

Difference between this and helium is helium follows rules of the universe, and this fucking contract law is human-enforced.

That’s actually new information to me! The news was pointing to a broader push to subscriptions for subreddits site wide. Definitely not doing that.

I also admit that I am deeply unhappy with reddits enshittification. I’ve been on reddit for over a decade and joined when I was in highschool. Moving was the last thing I wanted, but I’m more aware of the big-corp-monopoly we’re all suffering under. This is part of it.

Ahh, okay!

I recently migrated here. I did so as a precaution, and still browse reddit sometimes .

Reddit IPO’ed, and is now focused on making money. They removed the API to centralize it’s power and remove 3rd party apps. They threatened subreddits who protested, and shut some down. And have made sweeping changes to accommodate to advertisers.

The straw that broke the snoo’s back was the CEO hinting at subreddit paywalls. I figured I would try to learn Lemmy again, and what do you know, it’s more serious, has better comments and posts, segmented even more than reddit with the distros, and fully free/open source.

It also helps that I’m a huge computer nerd, and there’s a lot of that on here, but you can find your niche.

Crooked folding tables is what I call em. And a lot of people will say they never stand up right. They’ll tell you, “I never trust those folding tables”. They’re losers. Total losers

Yup. I’m curious what “official capacity” means here. Does that mean anything goes if he says the magic words “official capacity”? Or is it more complicated than that

Why do people hate this bot so much? 😂😂😂 Genuinely curious

Donald Dump is hilarious, but not a elegant attack like calling him ‘weird’. The weird attack is beautiful, and actually works wonders with heart-brained conservatives.

Lie down on the couch? WHADDUSTHATMEAN

The worrying thing is it erodes faith in reality beyond what can be directly experienced. “I can’t trust anything I’m told anymore because photos and organizations are compromised.” And all orgs are going to drift towards using the best weapon they have to change minds, which is AI generated images. It’s the best tool, and if the other guys use it and you don’t then you’re behind in the arms race.

“And don’t get me started on folding tables guys”

The crowd cheers and froths at the mouth
