I dunno but I love it. Let your freak flag fly. Thinking everything is cringe, is cringe.
- Comment on Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration 1 week ago:
Yeah because working with Trump is what makes the company evil, not like, oh I don’t know, everything else they do.
- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 1 week ago:
The tiers work in the opposite direction though, only huge titles will likely qualify for lower % takes while indies barely scraping by are getting hit for the full 30%.
Again this is only a minor point of criticism, I love valve in general. But man it would be so easy to add something like a “15% on the first $50.000 in sales” exception, wouldn’t cost Valve all that much and would help small indie teams immensely.

Hey don’t mistake that comment for a defense of Epic. I am a fan of Steam in general (in so far as I can be regarding “license selling” companies.) I think Gabe did many great things for game distribution. I’m working on an indie game myself and if it ever gets to the point that I can release it, it will be on Steam no doubt. I do dread the day Gabe has to pass on the torch though.

Main problem: incredibly slow/unresponsive. Clicking things doesn’t give good visual feedback and can take forever for the underlying webpage to load/reload.
It’s designed as a webshop first and game library second (third, fourth?) Unintuitive UI, hard to search, hard to categorize, poor feedback on what’s being downloaded and why. Basically every quality of life feature from Steam is missing.
But to be fair it’s been a few years since I opened it. Might have improved a lot since then. I use Heroic these days. Also not amazing but at least it’s open source.

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Man it’s a shame the Epic store sucks so so bad. I’d love to give developers a bigger cut. Steam is amazing but taking a 30% cut is a bit insane.
Still, having to struggle with the Epic launcher… oof. GOG’s isn’t great either but it beats the hell out of Epic still.
- Comment on Cyber Knights: Flashpoint hits Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam with a big new update live 1 week ago:
Looks like a good concept but man that UI is so incredibly busy and overloaded. Also feels like stealth is just a precursor to killing all the guards rather than the goal of the game. Are there any games like this in a cyberpunk setting that are more “pure” stealth like Invisible Inc?

Hell I for one don’t care what you write on your own computer screen but let’s not pretend obsession with other people’s genders is unique to “liberals”. You guys made it such a giant deal that you’re happy to throw the constitution on a bonfire to fight it.
- Comment on Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones 2 weeks ago:
Just install an OS that allows per-app microphone permissions. I’m running LineageOS and I can tell it for example to only allow Whatsapp mic access when I actively open the app. Actually according to the article, the same can be done on plain Android too.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 teases new creatures and co-op among the coral 2 weeks ago:
I understand why they’re going that way but Subnautica is such a quintessential single player experience. I hope they leave that experience the main focus.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ 4 weeks ago:
Soon as corporations and “investors” provide their own wealth instead of extracting it from society.
- Comment on Egosoft reveal the big free Diplomacy update for X4: Foundations due out in 2025 4 weeks ago:
LOVE IT! One of my all time favorite games and it gets better every year. If you’re no playing this yet, get it! It’s regularly on discount, very affordable. And while the DLCs are great you can have hundreds of hours of fun with just the base game. Support this amazing company!

All right, I’ll take that.

Are there people besides brainwashed republicans who unironically think Reagan was a great president?

Habit from the old BBSes I used… Can’t be having with this new fangled “mark down” at my age.

No I’ve seen this one before, the baby is actually standing on a stepladder and /that/ has been edited out.

- Comment on Amazon Restricted Vaginal Health Products for Being ‘Potentially Embarrassing’ 2 months ago:
Not loving guns and murder? Unamerican communist!
Talking about a lady’s body parts or for that matter anything remotely related to sexuality? Jesus Christ won’t someone please save our children from this fate worse than death!?
- Comment on Trump says Mexico, Canada tariffs will start March 4, plus additional 10% on China 2 months ago:
I don’t understand, if tariffs are so great, why not make it 100%? 500%?
- Comment on The System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster pages are on GOG & Steam 2 months ago:
One of my all time favorites. This looks like a real remaster rather than SS1’s remake. Either way looking forward to revisiting the Von Braun and the Rickenbacker.
- Comment on Bombshell report reveals staggering amount of government funds paid to Elon Musk 2 months ago:
I’m so shocked I can’t even tell you how much. Elon Musk? Grifting money from the government? I just don’t believe it.
- Comment on The Lemmy Liberal 2 months ago:
- Like telling people they can’t be the sexuality they choose or that they can’t control their own uterus.
- Like when people tell you there’s scientific proof for the above
- Like when a guy in dress reads a picture book to some kids
- Like how invading the capitol is patriotic but kneeling during the national anthem is treason

If giving some small amount of space to people who are different to you is offensive, you’re the one with them problem. Not them.
- Comment on Jon Stewart says the media cried wolf with its 'fascist' attacks on Trump 2 months ago:
I think the main problem with shouting fascist is not that it’s wrong but that it’s ineffective. You have to address what he’s actually doing wrong and how you would do better. Of course it’s a big problem that he’s incredibly good at spreading disinformation and the Democrats are almost completely media illiterate these days.

If she’s 17 now she hasn’t aged a bit in the last 7 years, impressive. (picture from another thread)
