“They’re all…”

All credibility lost.

This is Medici, where they speak Interligua, a sort of blend of Spanish, Catalan, French, and Italian and where the world’s largest natural source of bavarium was found. I remember reading about the revolution a few years ago that ousted the dictatorship that got powerful on the back of Bavarium mining. The US was caught blatantly supporting both sides, but the revolutionaries won and now they are a democracy again.

This looks like a ham-fisted corporate propaganda pic, so yes.

Internet moderation needs to be performed dispassionately. It’s administration, not leadership. But still, it appeals to power-tripping, self important assholes who have no interest in curating a functional community but instead ensuring everyone thinks and acts exactly like they do. The larger lemmy gets, the more of these awful moderators make up the moderation team. There is no mechanism in place to prevent this. I don’t even know how such sa mechanism would work, but as soon as one is figured out, the Internet will be a better place.

As would FFXIV.

Fun fact:

In Dutch, two o’s make a long o sound. Dode. “oe” makes the “oo” sound.

The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.

Their justification is that they need the PSN to moderate the community; right now they can’t ban anyone, and only didn’t launch with this requirement because it wasn’t ready. But now the temporary grace period is ending. You need to agree to terms and services by signing up for PSN, including PSN codes of conduct they enforce in every game. Without that, they can’t ban you for conduct you didn’t agree to.

The counter argument is that they didn’t make it clear enough that this was an eventuality, and that they could and should find alternate means to moderate their PC community that doesn’t exclude so many players.

I suspect this is more about policing third party monetization than community moderation.

I loved the original, anyone here have it on Epic that can tell me if I should buy this?

The client software is the big one. ModDB has the others but is all but dead save for a few old titles. Vortex really did Nexus a lot of favours; it’s turned into a great program, making modding easy for non-techie users.

Spying on your nudes with their illegal stingray vans between beatings of the mentally ill. The VPD SOP.

Honestly, especially games made by big, publicly traded companies. They make games based on marketing algorithms. Buying good games only improves the algorithm.

They aren’t obligated to use any engine and haven’t been using CryEngine for years, it’s on their own fork of Lumberyard called Star Engine. No game is legally obliged to use any 3rd party engine. They have a license to use it but that just gives permission, it’s not an obligation. That lawsuit was an act of desperation by CryEngine as they faced bankruptcy. They settled for pennies on the dollar out of court as it was less expensive than going to trial.

Without providing an alternative, this infographic (not a meme) is useless to me. For all I know, every other kind of trouser is worse. Without a source for the data, it could all just be lies.

That’s true for a game like Apex, where the maps are huge and constantly changing. Rainbow Six is extremely difficult to pick up from scratch because every pixel of every map is memorized by your entire lobby. I feel like a sequel here and there would be necessary to keep player counts high.

There can be only none, Debbie!

Imagine seeing an army doing this in full face paint 300 years ago. Terrifying. I’d give up, they win.

She’s newly elected. This was a part of her first speech and it has gone viral. She’s Maori and I suppose this is her saying she’s there to fight, but I didn’t see the rest of the speech.
