I will never understand why that person thinks Lemmy should be moderated like Reddit. Reddit’s moderation policy was at the behest of advertisers; we have no such masters to answer to here.
- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 2 weeks ago:
Target can track your purchases when you shop at Target, but can’t really do that when you’re shopping at a local store. Same applies here.

The majority of PC game sales happen via steam but we don’t call games purchased from GOG “sideloaded.”
There is no necessary reason to make the distinction
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 3 weeks ago:
Probably, but since I don’t own and have never touched a Steam Deck, but the question was directed at me, I could only honestly answer with my unawareness.
Seems weird as fuck to get downvoted for not knowing about a thing I don’t have experience with, but hey.

Dunno, I’m PC, sorry.

Man, you’ve got to dive into SDV mods.
Stardew is a great game, maybe an 8/10, but with mods it is an amazing game, 10/10.

Tbh I can barely believe that Modern Warfare has sold anywhere near as many units as Stardew.
Stardew is masterpiece, Modern Warfare is a video game.

My mind is reeling from the idea that there’s universal codes. I would have imagined that every retailer maintained their own inventory and codes.

Excuse me, that costume is very clearly Ms. Marvel from before Carol adopted the Captain Marvel moniker

I’ve never understood this meme. Like what did you expect them to look like, and why is this apparently alarming?

I actually teach the kids in my life that intent is more important than “magic naughty words,” so they can say bitch all they want so long as they aren’t being hateful. So maybe starting from the assumption that the status quo is reasonable and has merit isn’t the smartest idea?
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 month ago:
Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel are two of my favorite games which I’m almost always down to replay.
Borderlands 3 has solid enough gameplay, but absolutely shit all over the storyline and characters.

Very valid points. And frankly if I’m being honest with myself, I think I know this is ultimately a losing battle, as this is a field where perception is king, and I guess I’m really just venting my frustration with the situation. I think we’re mostly all frustrated with it honestly, but it’s a bell we can’t really un-ring, so here we are. Cheers.

Yeah I’m not defending AI output here, it absolutely follows awful and easily recognizable tropes. I’m just trying to fight against the current “em dash = AI” bullshit because, again, real people use real grammar. And people have been using non-LLM spelling & grammar checks which push syntax like em dashes forever; are we to assume that people suddenly stopped using these non-“smart” tools?
Rally against AI slop all you want, I support you, it’s just the promotion of the dumbed down reductive takes like em dashes or semicolons are indicative of AI.
- Comment on She's a keeper 1 month ago:
Real people use em dashes — the models were trained on real human output after all — so this new crusade against em dashes as the Mark of Beast for AI has always been and continues to be silly.

I mean as a guy I think the dude looks easily 100x better in the “before” pic. I don’t know who this dude is at all, but that before pic is already a perfectly comfortable, healthy-looking body. Before looks approachable and friendly, while still healthy. After looks high-effort and very motivated; that’s a lot for some people. A lot of people want somebody they can relax on the couch with popcorn with, not somebody who is gonna wake up every 6am to go running.

Not if you tell the officer that you’re a cop too and you were screaming “Wee-ooo-wee-ooo” so you’re allowed to speed too, then they have to let you go.

This is a small one, but can you please make it so that all menu descriptions actually list all the major dish components so I’m never surprised by secret onions or mustard again?

It also has the most boring combat. I’ve still struggling to finish the first FF7R because I keep falling asleep during combat

If you are so pedantic so as to not consider the support for the banister as part of the banister, then frankly I have no interest in the necessary effort required to discuss this or any matter further with you.

If our view was from the top looking down at the bottom then the banister would be rotated 90 degrees towards us.

I guess I should address the “wear” on the carpet as well: it doesn’t look worn to me, it looks disturbed. Like before this person tried shoving their mattress up the stairs and got it stuck, they carried a heavy dresser or or something up the stairs and dragged it up each stair, sliding it along the carpet. I suspect this is a person moving into a cheap efficiency apartment, since the one my father moved into last when he was still alive looked extremely similar.
- Comment on Perspective 2 months ago:
My stairs don’t have a visible ledge. I don’t know why people are acting like that’s standard. I think only one of the homes I’ve lived in has had a stairwell with ledges.

My guy, the banister.
