- Comment on Anno 117: Pax Romana - Gameplay Showcase Trailer 10 hours ago:
The only series I would consider installing ubisofts launcher for.
The trailer looks really good, it seems like they have made modifiers for island beauty localised rather than island wide which makes sense, now we can benefit from building sperate residential and industrial districts.
Land based combat I think is also new, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, but the lack did always seem like a glaring omission in 1800.
Hopefully they have done away with the influence system or at-least heavily modified it, it felt so bad in 1800 having to pick between ships, island defenses and buildings that allowed you to actually use all the cool items you found.
- Comment on I don't even have a PieFed account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 weeks ago:
As much as I dislike the fact that the “flagship” instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn’t funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.
So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I’m donating to if I were to comment on their instance.
Same way I can’t stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn’t use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.
Support “better” rather than waiting for “perfect”
- Comment on Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down 3 weeks ago:
I got nitro for similar reasons but would up cancelling when discord sent ads to a friend of mine with my screen name on it, “why not join your friend _____ with nitro” or something.
Absolutely not, don’t use my name to shill to people I respect.
- Comment on Hamas files challenge to overturn UK terror designation 5 weeks ago:
Israel’s war crimes do not excuse Hamas’ terrorist attacks, nor do Hamas’ terror attacks excuse Israel’s war crimes.
Intentionally escalating the conflict and suppressing rival organisations then turning around and saying “we are the only counterbalance to Israel, you must deal with us” is also kinda gross.
That said, it’s weird that they want the UK involved given the history of the conflict and the relatively paltry (and apparently declining?) level of arms exports.
I think the EU also designated Hamas as a terrorist organisation and Germany is a big arms exporter so I would have expected them to focus on getting that designation repealed.
- Comment on How it feels wandering into different bubbles sometimes 1 month ago:
The interesting thing about reading from different bubbles to get the different perspectives on the same event is just how different the set of events covered is.
The right may be furious about something and the left barely cover it and vice versa, it needs to be a huge event to attract comment from both sides.
