Must be nice to have disgraced politicians. Wouldn’t work in my country.

If you can’t afford health care then apply for medicaid. Hopefully you live in a blue state.

seems much more likely that someone new will be born after I die and experience life.
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 4 days ago:
Plus, there is just zero chance any new game could possibly come out of the gate with more features and hours of gameplay than CoH. Physically impossible.

My problem is that my brain can’t grasp skipping the reward for winning a battle. Success should feel good. But skipping cards feels really bad.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 6 days ago:
I’m replaying Shogun Showdown. It’s my favorite turn-based roguelite. It turns out that a one-dimensional game can be incredibly tactical and engaging. I also appreciate that it’s not ultra difficult like turn-based games have a tendency of being. The difficulty feels nice to me.

G or D. G is the logical choice but giving up Mexican food is hard.
- Comment on Twitch starts requiring face scans to watch mature streams in certain countries: Your face is now the key to unlocking gambling and hot tub content. 1 week ago:
What happens if your face gets burned or mauled by a bear? You just get locked out of mature streams?
- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 2 weeks ago:
They use weirdly aggressive fingerprinting to make sure you don’t make any new accounts, too. What a bunch of weirdos.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 2 weeks ago:
I’m so sick of bad performance from all the big engines these days. Even unity makes simple 2d games chug.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 2 weeks ago:
Meanwhile I’ve done five or six playthroughs of Freelancer while the game has been in development and had more fun than I’ll ever have with Star Citizen.

This. I’ve been developing my exit strategy for years and am reluctant to buy too many games on steam. It’s going to hit most people like a freight train
- Comment on Reddit lost it 3 weeks ago:
How pathetic how much lemmy doesn’t like this comment. Even 15 years ago, censorship on the internet was taboo. Now these lame-ass losers want to pull the ladder up behind them after enjoying whatever the hell they wanted in peace.

If only there was a way to prevent people from looking at your cleavage…
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
Been playing Cardinal Quest 2. It’s such a joy to come back to this game again every few years. Aside from perhaps DoomRL, it’s my favorite coffeebreak roguelike.
It’s got such excellent graphics and audio compared to the rest of the genre. The environments (many being outdoors) are much more interesting than your typical dungeon. The classes are quite good and even within a class there is plenty of variety with the skills and talents you take.
The achievement system is great for giving you stuff to do and unlock besides just winning. Itemization is on point for a game with runs that last half an hour. Never tedious, usually impactful.

Monetization itself is the problem.
- Comment on production line 4 weeks ago:
I miss the energy of using image compression to get good-looking images that are small in file size. People see nothing wrong with a simple image that’s like 5 megs.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yet another case of “kids aren’t allowed to do something I did.” Now you want to pull the ladder up behind you.
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 4 weeks ago:
Yeah well luckily for them, people don’t seem to know how to write anything but webapps anymore anyway.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 4 weeks ago:
First multiplayer FPS I played was Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (released in '97). In that game, you had to lead your shots to a silly degree to actually hit anyone. But I think you’re right; by then most games weren’t suffering from that problem as much.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 5 weeks ago:
On the one hand, we’re more accustomed to better hardware latency. On the other hand… we played first-person shooters on 56K modems. The lag was legendary
- Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now 5 weeks ago:
I would. If you wanted to make money from it, you should have sold it as an eBook instead of posting it to some forum.
- Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now 5 weeks ago:
Am I the only person who doesn’t care if people ‘scrape’ my ‘knowledge?’
That’s the whole point of putting something online. So anyone can look at it. I’m not about to get petty about who has access and who doesn’t.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 5 weeks ago:
Why would an American website pay fines because of the laws of a random country?
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 5 weeks ago:
That’s a useless summary that describes 99% of reddit and lemmy users
- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 1 month ago:
Great, but how could they possibly enforce it? It’s infeasible.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 1 month ago:
I have literally never had one of these things happen to me before. I’m pretty sure people just make them up for clicks at this point.

First screen is much more readable at a glance.

Why is there so much mud on the base when it’s nowhere near the soil? Plus, these kinds of mushrooms don’t grow on logs.
