Do you have proof that this is fiction? I don’t think so. There’s no proof that it isn’t either, sure, but this sub is mainly just for laughs and the story doesn’t require being true for it to be funny.
Coming into threads and posting stuff like that is like going into malls at Christmas just to tell kids that santa isn’t real. (Or worse, since you don’t even know if you’re right in this case).
- Comment on The new Chinese owner of the popular Polyfill JS project injects malware into more than 100 thousand sites 4 months ago:
I don’t know how viable would that be on a large scale, but they could just ban all China-based companies from operating outside like the US did with Tiktok.
I think that would deal a decent blow on their economy, but I’m far from an expert in those fields so someone who knows better will probably come and debunk me.

“Mario” barely qualifies as a single franchise at this point. It spans a ridiculous amount of genres.

They also usually dont do remakes/remasters unless its so new/different it can be considered a new game ( see metroid 2 on 3ds ).
Most of the games on that list fit that definition. Stuff like Zero Mission are extremely different from the original game.
Of course then you also have stuff like BDSP so it’s debatable whether they’ve kept up their policies in recent times, but you could definitely see that in the past.

Hey, early Yahoo answers was very useful. A de-shittified, federated, stripped down to the bare questions-answers could be neat.

It does kind of have “We would have gotten away with it, if it hadn’t been for you meddling kids!” energy to me.
There’s no way they thought the PSN thing would’ve been a well-received update.

Not our fault the entire tech industry keeps engineering new ways to give people trust issues.

These reviews will have a lasting effect on the game even though the drama bubble has now popped.
Steam has a specific thing that appears when you keep playing a lot on a game that you’ve negatively reviewed asking if you want to change it. I think a game is rarely impacted long-term by review bombing for a resolved issue, unless the reviewers actually dropped the game and went on with their lives.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 6 months ago:
This is why Steam reviews should be taken much more seriously. This was impossible to avoid due to the enormous amount of bad press and devs themselves jumping on the hate train, but I’m betting that a lot of review bombing attempts have been quietly offset by the company just paying people for fake reviews. It’s especially obvious when the game has relatively low reviews for months and months, then suddenly bad stuff happens and along with the justified dump of negative reviews, positive ones also skyrocket (99% of which composed of “good game”, random memes or ascii art).
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 6 months ago:
The screenshot does have a “dismiss” button, so I suppose if you click there you’ll still be able to see the fullscreen video.
But yeah, those are definitely cumulative with existing ads, greedy fucks.

- Comment on Italy passes measures to allow anti-abortion activists to enter abortion clinics 7 months ago:
Because she tells people what they want (despite never actually acting on it), and stops the degenerates (read: anyone who isn’t a cishet christian) from destroying our country™.
Also because her party not-so-covertly likes Mussolini and that’s popular in a country where 61% of the population is over 40.
- Comment on But how would they be able to live on that? 7 months ago:
Even capping it at 1 billion would do wonders. That means, for example, Elon would have to pay more than 200 billions to the government. Imagine what we could do with 200 billions.
And yes, they could split it with family and friends, but I find it hard to believe he (or anyone actually) knows 200 people he can trust with 1 billion each.
- Comment on Pornhub shuts down in Texas... and predictably, VPNs benefit 8 months ago:
Uhh… most people I’ve seen on Lemmy are condemning the genocide in Palestine. And the war in Iraq, and a lot of other stuff. Where are you getting all those “USA Good” people? I constantly see people complaining about it.

So the Ukraine invasion and the Uyghur genocide are both just propaganda?
- Comment on The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS. 8 months ago:
On IOS Brave is the only big browser with competent adblock afaik until/unless Firefox gets extensions going.
Safari + AdGuard gave me no issues so far.

I’ve been using Safari + AdGuard for a while and I don’t remember seeing any ad.
- Comment on Akira Toriyama, the Creator of Dragon Ball, Dead at 68 8 months ago:
It is, but it’s probably not the reason of death for those two. They were already really popular and freed themselves from the “shackles” of regular serialization. It’s especially rough on emerging authors who can’t afford to say “no” to their editors.

They wanted those kids to go at a concert and “spread the gospel” to people who paid to be there. Not sure about you, but I know I wouldn’t take that well.
- Comment on Merry Christmas 10 months ago:
Well, they’re right in the sense that Internet is very unforgiving about anything that anyone ever did, no matter if they stopped or not.
Doesn’t mean it’s a good practice and they should be justified in doing it as well, though.

In the U.S., education is mostly about being able to regurgitate what you’ve been told.
Wait, are there places where it’s not?
