…huh? a what from a what now?
that’s how advertisements work. but that doesn’t make the consumer the product. the product is still the product.
- Comment on TikTok (with Douyin) becomes first app to reach $6B in annual consumer spending 6 days ago:
the app allows for purchases of stuff that’s advertised.
- Comment on TikTok (with Douyin) becomes first app to reach $6B in annual consumer spending 6 days ago:
they’re buying the products, actually.

- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 3 weeks ago:
the issue with that is the fediverse isn’t the easiest thing to sign up for. and the fediverse needs explaining pre-sign up for most people.
listen I have both bluesky and mastodon so I get you. but for now, bluesky is at least not the platform of an angry nazi man child. (at least not yet).

Nice. Glad to see people leaving xitter en mass.

alright
- Comment on An idiots guide to setting up Minecraft on Steam Deck / SteamOS with controller support 1 month ago:
while controlify is great to start with, I’ve found that making my own setup in Steam Input to be a much more reliable experience.
it’s also a bit easier to do your own keybinds if you’re playing heavily modded packs with 400+ mods and whatnot. as controlify (and other controller support mods) may clash with mouse tweak mods or movement mods.
Steam Input is amazing software. Use it!

- Comment on 'Stop talking s*** about us' - Half-Life 2 mod blacklists a handful of YouTubers as 'anticitizens' and blocks them from playing 2 months ago:
asking for something is completely reasonable. but behaving like you’re entitled to that and trying to divide the community seems to me to be a bit of a dick move.
mods are just that. mods. they modify the original work with their own additions. just because someone mods something, does not mean they’re in the position to behave in such a manner.
i was very put off by the wording in that open letter and I was not the only one. the community it was originally posted in also picked up on the antagonistic way it was written.

improvement is one thing. acting like an entitled bunch of brats is another thing entirely.

its not the request, its the entitlement that the letter displays.
they did not create this game. they are not entitled to demand and petition for such things. stuff being updated and breaking mods is annoying, but it happens.
modders do not own the game they mod for. nor are they entitled to be included in development updates just because they’re annoyed that they need to fix issues that may arise as a result of a game being patched by those who made it.

i love it when modders get so up their own ass, they make themselves look moronic to everyone.
i recall the huge cringy “petition” made by BG3 modders demanding to be told what fixes would come in patches made by devs because they were “fed up” with having to fix their mods after patches would break things.
its quite funny when modders think they run the show.
