Plus I just don’t like the name “Stoat.” xD “Get on Stoat bro” Sounds weird.
This is actually the main reason I believe most of these discord alternatives have zero chance at becoming mainstream. Name is 75% of the success. Just think about it.

Any chance you’re from Russia or working as a Russian propaganda mouthpiece?
You don’t know how much this question pisses off every easterner who has to deal with Russia and is tired of west constantly underestimating them. This is why we’re in this whole mess. This is why Trump is US president and US is slowly collapsing. This is why your enemies like NK got better weapons. This is why you had way more problems in ME (Afghanistan, etc.) that what you should have. West is fucking afraid to touch BRICS because let’s be honest, Russia/China duo could take on US and thanks to Russia, NATO is under the question of further existence.
I’m from Ukraine, so you might stop fucking around persuading me of all the mighty and powerful great Russia
Not you’re not, otherwise you’d understand that saying these things essentially makes everyone else go “meh, why even help Ukraine if Russia is so weak, let’s not spend to much money on it”
- Comment on Russia Launches First Brain-Chipped Bird Drones for Surveillance Over Cities 2 days ago:
That’s a shitty opinion. Their budget deficit isn’t even higher that EU average. They’re currently producing more ammo than entire NATO combined, and by the each next month, they’re bombing Ukraine more and more. Right now actually is probably the worst ever situation for Ukraine in the entire war

Realistically, we need to assume all countries that extradite to US or are friendly with US, are not secure. Unironically, Russian VPN might be more secure for Americans than European one, but don’t quote me on that.

- Comment on Beyond All Reason 4 days ago:
I gave this a go today. Honestly, the game felt annoying and I didn’t last more than 2 skirmishes. The troops don’t defend themselves like in any other RTS, they just stand there with zero fucks to give while enemies kill them, so the game becomes a micromanaging hell. As soon as slightly larger battles begin, my troops constantly get stuck or hit wreckage.
At this point, even 9-bit armies feel superior

The point of the article is to show that with help of AI, attacks can be executed faster, which means higher success chance for getting more data/damage as you’re essentially running against time.
How long would all this have taken without automation?

This is a huge issue for Command and Conquer: Generals. I can’t play it even with 13700k with high difficulty bots because sooner or later I get few FPS. I don’t remember the game actually lagging this bad on older hardware

- Comment on I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well 6 days ago:
As a long term audiophile who has spent way too much money on all kinds of headphones and amplifiers, I can only say that I no longer trust audiophile gear. I’ve also had fiio amps, but my point is that they’re all overpriced for the marginal or non-existing improvement you’re getting. I even returned the monolith amp that went for nearly thousand dollars and kept using a “Gamer” amp Sound Blaster G6 due to flexibility. Just use what you find good for you, not what the specification says.
This reminded me about the article I saw few days ago: headphonesty.com/…/audiophiles-fail-copper-banana…

This reminds me of malicious compliance at my work. There was a dude who was always early to work, but that actually allowed the company to be more productive since he was a manufacturing operator whose machinery took around 20-30 minutes of preparation and warmup time. He sometimes clocked out few minutes early and got written up.
After that, he was always at work at exactly 6:00, not 5:30. The company sure saved those 5 minutes.

- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 week ago:
because of the anti-competitive price restrictions that Valve often imposes on game developers and producers (the Price Parity Obligations). This means a publisher or developer would not be able to list a game on another platform as well as Steam, unless the prices offered on Steam is the same or lower. This applies to games on all other distribution stores (including online and physical stores) not just those distributed by Steam Keys
Textbook anti-trust lawsuit. Different from what Epic does, I doubt they impose such rules on developers.

Depends if you’re a big developer or some indie one. Big developers commonly don’t pay fees (Uber, etc.). Smaller ones pay 15% up to 1 million downloads, then it’s 30%.
That being said, this is on top of the VAT, not part of it. Still charging 30% in 2026 feels criminal and greedy. This applies to nearly all big corporations, including Valve Corporation. It made more sense to take 30% cut when 100Gb of HDD costed thousand dollars, internet was metered in megabytes and the whole infrastructure was just not there yet, but this “industry standart” tax never changed even tho for them distributing apps has become far, far cheaper than it used to.

- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 1 week ago:
I’m seriously failing to understand why is Lemmy suddenly defending a corporation and a billionaire from such things. The lawsuit isn’t even about the 30% cut, but that’s also greediness. The “tax” hasn’t changed since the times 100GB HDD costed around thousand of dollars, internet was metered in megabytes and the infrastructure was just not there yet. Still taking 30% from all devs is clearly corporate behaviour. Valve is literally called “Valve Corporation”. Sure, they’re less evil than EA, but is that everything gamers need to settle down?

Before they’re released on steam? I’m fairly sure all the free games have been released to steam first, or did you fail the reading comprehension?
