Yeah, they did the branding thing to people too.

They can get appease of my balls.

This is the equivalent of not being able to get your crush to like you, so you pay hooker just to tell people you got a girlfriend.

There are only a few things that will make me buy a game without a second thought.

• a game by Capcom,
• a game by Kojima,
• “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam,
• a Bundle with the game and all DLCs for under $10,
• a game with a notoriously large modding community,
• a game that a friend what’s to play in coop.

That’s about it, everything else is pirate first and if it’s actually something I’ll play I buy the game for real. I’m 400+ games deep in my Steam library of which I have maybe 20 actually completed and 5 that I regularly play. That’s literally thousands of dollars down the drain.

Do you think everybody works on a game pro bono until it releases and makes a profit? Artists and Devs are all either commissioned or salaried employees. By the time the game releases everybody who put in any effort has long been paid. You’re effectively stealing management bonuses, shareholder dividends and most importantly the budget for a sequel or longterm support.

Until very recently the whole Resident Evil modding community relied solely on a Maya 3DS script that a Chinese dude named Maliwei777 created in 2012. The community cherished that script but it got harder and harder to get the correct 3DS version to run it.

You have to bring your own. You may play with the other dogs if they approach you.

Did you say “Dogs at work”? Deal.

A “good girl”

It’s a legitimate salvage.

In all honesty, I can’t see any negative impact of reddits hostile behavior towards their userbase on me personally. I can fully admit that I was browsing reddit an unhealthy amount of time. As in spending 4-6 hours a day in mindless scrolling paralasis, only to reward myself with a mild chuckle every 500 posts. I mainly used Boost for Reddit which didn’t help to combat this behavior with it’s user friendliness. The standard reddit app and website are so bad that I cold turkeyed my bad habit and was finally able to break it. I browse Lemmy to a much smaller extend (maybe 1 hour tops) and refuse to install any frontend app, to not fall back into the same hole as with Reddit.

I also don’t get the people that complain. You basically got a free get out of jail card for social media addiction, and you try to immediately backpedal to old habits. This also goes for people that desperately want Lemmy to become exactly like Reddit. The reason why Lemmy in it’s current state is in my opinion already better, is because there is basically no FoMo. Post hover on the Popular page for days, comment numbers are low, and if you want to engage in an actual conversation, you won’t be drowned out by the 2.7K+ tounge in cheek one liner comments because everybody is a comedian on Reddit.

I try to enjoy it while it lasts, because I know its not going to stay like this forever.

Next up they’ll be bringing back r/Time at the worst possible place.
