- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 3 weeks ago:
Today they announced that it was cut down to 5 and they will slowly work their way back up to 100 after launch (whenever that is)

Fun fact: If you take the year, add two, you’ll get the current planned release date for sq42

- Comment on "Concord servers are now offline. Thank you to all the freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy" 2 months ago:
I love how it’s worded like concord is a beloved game that is shutting down after a decade
- Comment on Threads deepens its ties to the open social web, aka the ‘fediverse’ | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
I’d hope it’s carefulness but it doesn’t seem like it. Facebook should want to destroy fediverse instances (from a business point of view), they are supposed to be a monopoly and the fediverse is their biggest competitor.
- Comment on When the streamer says their favourite pokemon is Pikachu... 2 months ago:
Because only streamers who actually like pokemon and aren’t just shills would know the names of obscure pokemon
- Comment on Tumblr to move its half a billion blogs to WordPress 2 months ago:
Tumblr’s backend has been passed between several companies for several decades, it’s a miracle it still works and can be updated

Image It took around a year for a solo dev (and a couple contributors) to develop a fully federated platform. Why is it taking on of the largest companies on the planet this long to make such tiny changes that are useless anyway.
And why are they releasing it like this instead of releasing everything at once?
- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Gameplay Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
It’s the same as civ 6. Having a 2k account gave an extra leader for Rome, all leaders have unique abilities, it’s not just cosmetic.
It is probably moddable as custom leaders were possible in civ 6
- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Gameplay Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
It’s probably to make cross-platform easier (since it’s releasing same day on all platforms)
- Comment on Day 38 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Minecraft 1.5) 2 months ago:
github.com/betacraftuk/betacraft-launcher/wiki there’s an installation tutorial here that would probably help you with this
- Comment on A symbol for the fediverse ⁂ 2 months ago:
My guess is because it’s unicode. But that doesn’t really matter. How often are you going to want to put the icon instead of just typing the fediverse

I use it as well. People hating it completely is weird. I get that for profit is stinky but most people don’t complain about that, they complain about it using a different protocol. As long as it is foss, (which it is) using a different protocol is fine, especially because their whole point of developing their own protocol is to achieve feature parity with Twitter
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 2 months ago:
You can look at the app list on join-lemmy.org. Ignore the big scary warnings on there about non foss apps unless you want a foss app. Most of the proprietary apps are just made by hobbyists who don’t want the world to see their spaghetti code.
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 2 months ago:
I also use boost, everything about it seems to work apart from spoiler tags (think because the app still uses reddit’s format instead of lemmy’s).
- Comment on Labour MPs begin quitting X over ‘hate and disinformation’ 2 months ago:
Depends on the writer, chances are that those in the bbc who are involved with the mastodon instance are the nerds (like us) and the writer of this article doesn’t know as much and is just listing the places the MPs went, and they are politicians so they wouldn’t know about the “nerdy options”

I heard you got a referral, remember all those times I’ve helped you with (insert problem)? You wouldn’t mind if I asked for a referral from you?

Watching other brits get upset at that kind of stuff is really funny, almost as funny as the jokes the Irish say about us

That seems like something that could be easily taken just from the api, I feel like if it’s data anyone can get for free, they are fine to use it in ads.

- Comment on The Way Forward, an update from the team behind Cities: Skylines 6 months ago:
It is a shame they’re such a greedy company because, similarly to what you said in your 3rd paragraph, they make good games, some can be as good as games like factorio at times, but it’s always ruined by their dlc.
You mentioned free updates at the end, I believe they are doing that for victoria 3, but their first big expansion for the game, spheres of influence, comes out in June so we’ll see if they stick to that.
I love paradox games and have the money to by their dlc most the time and will keep buying the ones I want (because the beach dlc was too far even for the largest paradox shills) as long as the game’s stability and the free players are prioritised, unlike the way they have been treated in cities: skylines 2.
