  Caves of Qud is a VIBE

  Flat white is always made with some milk foam on top, traditionally less than a Latte.

  So the difference should be in the ratio of coffee to milk to froth, which is also true of other varieties like cortado.

  7 for effort.

  8 if it’s executed well.

  9 and up if it’s actually a creative and fun game with good mechanics, no MTX, etc.

  It just makes the rating system pointless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sound Of Failure At Sonos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m the opposite too, for a different reason to you. I have Sonos home theatre (soundbar, sub, rear speakers) and Chromecast with Google TV hooked up to the TV. I control music on a pixel phone or pixel tablet through the Chromecast, Sonos kinda just hangs off on the edge of my ecosystem and I don’t think about it. I maybe use the app a few times a year.

  But I get why if you just have a few speakers it would be a pain to use the app.

  Elon sees himself as a truth teller discovering and interpreting information that is outside the mainstream, using his deep and savvy knowledge of the world to understand what is and isn’t important or relevant and use his platform to promote it. In this reality, he’s the only person with the courage to speak the truth.

  In reality he’s just the 2024 equivalent of a boomer forwarding stupid email chains from his inbox without the slightest inclination to confirm what he’s posting or ability to tell the real world from obvious fakery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This got under my skin too.

  That parasite constantly refers to user content and comments and as being the property or Reddit, and his schemes to generate profit off the back of that asset are almost always to the detriment of the user base who are keeping him in business.

  Like all rich assholes, he’s got this expectation that everyone will deeply respect and admire his mission to enrich himself by exploiting whatever market he has access to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why we got Stadia. Imagine Netflix where you pay a monthly fee and still have to buy all the movies and shows at full price. That was Stadia’s model.

  Thos erodes the concept of ownership so that it is substituted for rental, without stating that clearly. Stadia failed but in doing so it probably helped Microsoft figure out how to eventually get away with doing the exact same thing.

  Games should clearly say if you’re basically renting them, not have it buried in the EULA. Let publishers full price and let consumers decide if they are prepared to live with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He talks about that. I think the gist is that a lot of games that are online services could run locally, the publisher just chooses not to. That’s why Ross chose the Crew 2 as his hill to die on: there’s evidence that an offline does/did exist and just wasn’t enabled. That’s a practice that needs to be challenged.

  The argument goes that a game that relies on server side technology to run in any form shouldn’t be sold as a product that you can own. This needs to be reflected in the price and licensing model. That seems fair.

  The big question is why TF we’re at a point where a company should be allowed to sell you a product and say you own it then remove your right to use the product arbitrarily. I bet there’s IP in the server side code, but having a system where a corporation’s IP and ability to make money from the IP is more important that the concept of ownership is deeply fucked up.

  Technology Tangents did a video where a game he bought on CD and tried to play on period-correct hardware won’t run because there was DRM that called a server to check the date and to make sure it wasn’t leaked early. Decades after the release, the server is gone and the game can’t run, ironically, because it’s so far outside of its release date. That’s the kind of bullshit that absolutely shouldn’t be tolerated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit user content being sold to AI company in $60M/year deal⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or legislate content ownership altogether. The idea that Reddit spent more than a decade growing its community just so that it could use our content as its own property is a huge issue. How do we safely and fairly communicate and express our ideas in society where the platforms that enable this automatically claim ownership of our ideas? Social media are middlemen with outsized influence.

  *free speech if Elon agrees with you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s such bullshit, Reddit could have been so much more. Researching my latest purchase/obsession, and the only way to find anything that isn’t corporate sponsored reviews or AI content farming is to add the word “Reddit” to the end of the search.

  As someone with an 11 year old account that I deleted during the TPA debacle, I fully recognise that there’s a huge problem here. Reddit created a place where people wanted to put their thoughts, ideas, and opinions, and now that they are cashing out TOO FUCKING BAD LAME EBD USER.

  That chicken is so raw that 22 states want that man in prison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aussie households are spending less on streaming services, annual report reveals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The report shows 48 per cent find it hard to know what content is available and where, 70 per cent wish they could manage multiple subscriptions in one place and 73 per cent wish they could search and discover content across all their subscriptions in one place.

  Streaming platforms make it hard to find their content outside of their apps because they don’t want to be a service, they want to be a destination. Just one of the many ways they are anti-consumer but expect they can demand premium pricing.

  People want to pay a reasonable price for a reasonable service, and that’s increasingly no longer the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity to introduce runtime fee based on installs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I understand there is also a risk that pirated copies could count. It’s hard to see how Unity can effectively defend against it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbes: Reddit Protests Escalate As Rebel Mods Are Kicked Out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the Lemmy community at large has been impacted by the actions of Reddit so it’s a fairly normal response that will fade over time.

  Also, schadenfreude is a powerful drug!
