  I worry it will just split the Labour vote and result in easier wins for competing parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My partner and I both came to our own conclusion that we didn’t want kids and felt the same way through multiple different relationships. But when we got together, things were different.

  We’re still not 100% but we both agree that we want to talk about it more as, together, we found we actually have the desire growing within us now.

  I cannot speak for you OP - you are your own person. I can only share my personal perspective which is that 22 year old me and today me are very very different people. I wouldn’t forgive my past self if I’d taken away my future self’s agency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what video game deserves to be in a museum?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

  Also what’s the game in the screenshot?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Founded by a man to enable women to redflag men?

  What’s your bets the dude secretly hides posts about men he’s friends with etc?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart option⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When humans become less stupiderer.

  Then you wouldn’t need to click the link and read 20,000 words and 15 adverts before the buried headline is finally revealed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you, Thor!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably little incentive to do so given how much money they’re making from Twitch, YouTube, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MindsEye director reportedly says the studio will relaunch the game, as around 300 staff are at risk of being laid off⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out Leslie wasn’t the biggest reason GTA was such a huge success and they’re not taking it well…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OpenMW and TES3MP is a great way to enjoy Morrowind in a modern engine and with friends.

  There’s plenty of mods available for OpenMW so you can make it look stunning and add loads of new functionality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve sold between 5 and 8 million copies of that game to date.

  I think they’re doing fine without needing a sale and devaluing their product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A story old as time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ARMA 3 Recieves Surprise Performance Update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been on the Profiling branch for a couple of years and these changes are awesome. Tanoa was unplayable for me until I switched.

  Kudos for Bohemia’s continued support for A3 while we wait for A4 (Reforger has also been a fantastic glimpse of the future of their engine).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m passing on the Switch 2 for similar reasons.

  I can either fund Nintendo to sue open source developers or I can fund Valve who are payrolling open source developers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨File collecting program?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure there’s a decent fork. Read the code; there’s not much to it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨File collecting program?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re on the same network, take a look at snapdrop. It’s basically cross platform AirDrop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨File collecting program?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the context in which you’re needing to share files?

  My first thought is host your own FTP server and send people credentials to log into it with and upload.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this 😂😂😂⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My hero!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does “rule” mean on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why 196? And what’s with “post before you leave”? As in, before you die?

  I am oh so very confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS finally released by Valve⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The side effect of SteamOS is that Arch Linux totally rocks for gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re probably right. Microsoft seems less invested in winning an operating system battle at this point. They’re positioning services and abstractions that care less about the end device’s operating system, more so that they’re at least on that device.

  I wouldn’t be surprised we see Microsoft “embrace” Proton and Wine in the next 5 to 10 years as it’s far easier to let “the community” predominantly handle supporting legacy Windows versions that have to handle it themselves.

  They can’t suddenly lose that entire OS revenue machine however and would need to transition. But I doubt that Redmond are naive to the disruption Wine and Proton are having and how technical users are starting to jump ship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say treaties are indeed a technology; they’re frameworks / systems that arose around the time commerce was invented. Since technology is purely the application of knowledge to achieve goals, while they may be somewhat intangible, so is software which I think most would agree is technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yikes that was written poorly. Author flips back and forth between Deadlock and Deathlock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't Oblivion and Morrowind turn the character model when you run in different directions?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bang for buck.

  Morrowind was made by a team of about 35 people. Sure they could have put the effort in but then you’ve got all those animations to make and test. How do they tie into stats? Do they look dumb at higher stat levels? Also they’ll use up a little more resources on console which was a big struggle (Morrowind literally had to reboot the Xbox mid game to free up memory).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paradox Interactive's return-to-office policy may be driving employees away from the studio⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, these mandates have been a positive. We’ve been hoovering up incredible talent to join our team since we’re a remote-first org (we have offices and co-working spaces for those that want or need it; some don’t have space in their homes to work or want the in-person socialisation).

  The stupidity of these orgs with these mandates - their best and critically important talent are the first to leave. Not to mention how some of the best talent have long left the major urban areas and will never be moving back.

  I feel incredibly bad for the juniors though, who will be left picking up the pieces of these terrible management decisions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For those of us who played Doom multiplayer over a network back in the 90s (the OG “Deathmatch”), you were very familiar with Doomguy(s): Image

  Not to mention the iconic box art: Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendations for a TOTL used/new laptop under $1000?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends where you live. Just look up regional PC builders and see if they do laptops. They pretty much all sell Clevo, often unbranded or you can request they don’t brand it.

  eBay might be another option. Or a laptop refurbished. I’ve picked up several refurbished Clovos over the years that were ex workstations of some big enterprise.
