- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 2 hours ago:
The bridge crossing level and using the crossbow to crucify combine soldiers were about the best parts of the game as I remember it.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 6 days ago:
They’re scooping up all the data for AI. They rebranded Office to just being AI.
- Comment on MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff 1 week ago:
That sign has a Z and letters with accent mark over it.
So I think this a picture of communism?

Surveying can be some worthwhile science gigwork.
Years ago I did some work with a research institute that was counting shellfish populations that was almost exactly this. A few weeks for a few summers hiking tidal zones. Most of the crews were college students, but not as interns or as a part of any programs. Some were just locals looking for some work.
I just don’t think a lot of that work is advertised outside colleges.

I miss when being an audiophile was just using vintage equipment and/or opting for lossless formats over compressed mp3s.

I have seen those Breaking Bad arguments before too, and I am more inclined accept that sentiment there.

A thousand or so dead and hundred of thousands displaced.
Over some colonial border shit.

Misogyny is a massive problem on reddit
Yeah but this is Lemmy. There’s far more overlap between ‘sausage party’ and ‘women’ here than most other social media can even handle.
And like, I never watched GoT nor read the books but still caught the reference. So this doesn’t feel like a form of arcane misogyny.

The decision to keep the ring on. Nice.
- Comment on Drova is surprisenly reactive 3 weeks ago:
I immediately caught the Gothic references/influence which I think was actually a bit of a drawback for me. I was able to predict a lot of the mechanics and story, like being able to figure out essentially a frame perfect way to defeat the strong bandits early in the game and then coasted on that loot.
That said I think it had quite a bit more depth than I was expecting and I appreciated that a great deal.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 weeks ago:
I don’t really care about game awards but it does seem like some retroactive application of opinion on genAI if they used it in 2022. There was a very different landscape and general opinion on genAI in 2022, (nonone really knew or cared.) I suspect the award show made the rule about genAI after 2022.
Either way, happy to see more press about good games, be it C33 or Blue Prince.

- Comment on Is this real life? 5 weeks ago:
Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.
- Comment on Screw MS 5 weeks ago:
Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows.
This was because I always compared them to Apple.
So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.

Humans before the Ice Age were fishing for tuna in the deep sea and were coastal hopping everywhere there are coasts to hop.

The mod.
- Comment on GOP overhaul of broadband permit laws: Cities hate it, cable companies love it 1 month ago:
That’s closer to it. The local permitting jurisdictions get nothing out of approving or denying applications. They get held up for two reasons: the proposal is incomplete/unapprovable by law; and political intervention from an outside entity. Maybe the mayor or a commissioner, sometimes a director of an agency or organization. That’s where any bribery or other such shenanigans would take place. Not the permitting office.
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 1 month ago:
But I seriously doubt anyone is going to give a shit with a user having a personal opinion. I certainly don’t.
So leave me alone
Alright then. I’ll easily disengage from this.

Here’s one comment that I spent my morning digging up instead of enjoying my coffee. Scrolling MWoG isn’t exactly enjoyable.
lemmy.world/post/29173321/16870997
I couldn’t find the specific thread I was thinking of that was actively calling for removal. But that’s a comment referencing that demand as a discussed option.
Digging through post histories and searching lemmy is not something I am ever inclined to do, so I was appealing to a shared experience/memory since the whole push for donations brought up a lot of those discussons everywhere they were.
Also Meanwhileongrad is on my local feed so I see all the threads and discussions before curation, so I rarely if ever comment propotionally.
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 1 month ago:
There was a petition posted awhile back about wanting the Lemmy devs to give away control over the code because of their politics. I will see if I can find it but I think it was over a year ago at this point. I am almost positive it was cm002, but I’ll see if I can find that thread. No harm in seeing if my recollection is accurate.
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 1 month ago:
It was going on in the main/top thread of this topic when I opened it. Linking this thread would seem unnecessary? First reply to hamid by cm002 in this post is calling them an alt of another user?
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 1 month ago:
To me it seems mostly as a method to obscure post history. It’s the other side of the coin of users who delete everything 24-48 hours afterwards. Incredibly annoying and only leads me to feel suspicious.
After all, you’ll note how quick the user is to dive into post histories and theorycraft on who is whose alt accounts. The notion that there’s something to be found in there is some kind of projection for sure.
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 1 month ago:
I am pretty sure this user in question is the same that has made previous demands the Lemmy devs ‘sell’ the code to an independent third party like some kind of IMF loan situation. There’s a level of dedication against the platform itself that exists.
I had always assumed they’d just gone over to piefed and put their crusade to rest.

Disenfranchised ruling class commits to counter-revolution. Repeat.
But for that specifically, it is conveniently called the Thermidorian Reaction, using this calendar’s terminology.
