  I would say the majority of Lemmy users are more tech savvy than the general population.

  Techy people in general dislike Edge, because of a few reasons, (embedded browser, Microsoft affiliation, their injection of ads while looking at other browsers, ect)

  A post that praises Edge in the title, true or not, reads as AstroTurfing from a major corporation for a product most Lemmy users don’t like.

  It’s just the wrong audience, even if the post is true and relevant.

  They really fixed most of the aging game problems with the remake imo. I tend to prefer my horror with some agency to fight back.

  Oh there is absolutely a group that prints their own, and before that there were re-molds that were made based on the real ones.

  From what I understand, (friends play) they aren’t allowed in “official” sponsored matches, so if you really want to compete big you have to have real armies. But also they have printed one of those $800 models because most people don’t have the cash to throw at stuff like that.

  So I’m sure there are some diehard people that only think official models should be used but it doesn’t seem common.

  Huh thank you for the more correct information, I didn’t know about those options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sure thing, website, my name is Gabe Newell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow thank you for the info, I didn’t know they had such advanced lookups.

  Websites don’t have an actual check for a legit email… That’s why they send confirmation links to click. Forms check that it ends with @something.something, sometimes they can add filters to not allow anything other than the 20 most popular domains. Or they can block addresses with less than 3 characters, because nobody real has those. But most forms you can keyboard smash anything@anything.anything. They just might make a temp account until it’s confirmed or something.

  But joeblow@aol.com almost certainly was/is real.

  This is also selection bias, the furries that dont upload their art every day and make it their profile pic aren’t seen, only the ones that do.

  Well shoot. I know for sure we have hard water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve seemingly discontinues Steam coupons — the company quietly removes partner documentation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bit sure how long it’s been because it seems to be the same system, but steam also removed the ability to buy unowned gift copies of games. I used to be able to pick up a couple copies on sale and then give them to a friend who I thought might enjoy it later. Now I have to wait to do that during a sale because I must connect it to an account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Vatican randomly dropped their new anime mascot and it is polarizing the internet⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, I can’t believe it is (according to the article) kind of working for some people. It’s just a mascot for one of the most powerful religious organizations that’s ever existed.

  You don’t get to be cute now to appeal to the kids. To me, this is blue raspberry flavored cigarettes, just as calculated and insidious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot"⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A self-driving vehicle is not exclusive to Elon.

  I prefer electric cars over gas ones, and think that at some point computer controlled transportation will be more reliable than the average human driver. These aren’t endorsements of any person or company.

  Why are you wrapping this up so much with the one dude?

  Its like saying that you can’t endorse online shopping unless you also like Bezos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ads⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a similar experience on my YouTube TV app, I was watching old history channels in bed, and there was a full length documentary for an “ad”. I could have skipped after 15 seconds or whatever, but I had to INTERACT with the TV before it would resume. I was distracted so it ended up playing like 15 minutes of an hour+ documentary ad.
