  I think there’s also an important distinction to be made here, especially for many of these examples.

  Ripoffs - “a usually cheap exploitive imitation”

  Homage - “something that shows respect or attests to the worth or influence of another”

  I think many of the examples of “good ones” would like be homages, rather than ripoffs.

  Saw what ya want about the Swiss… But their flag is a big plus!

  I’ll see myself out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG Spring Sale⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember few years back, maybe like 3 years after Witcher 3 and it was on sale for 90%. Like multiple times I saw it on sale for supercheap.

  I’ve been waiting for a similar thing with Cyberpunk n its not got anywhere near that. Cheapest i’ve seen it is around 65/70% with the expansion still considerably more.

  Witcher 3 is now more expensive than it was more than 8 years ago! That is wild!

  Okay yeah, thats a much more accurate picture.

  I honestly think im glad i missed his cringe douche phase. I actually hate that whole influencer youtube bullshit.

  But he really is not like those twats lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I like that you like him now… But i don’t think the main reason he’s become cool now is due to him… not wanting to be cringe lol.

  Obv yeah the audience n he grew but it sorta takes agency away from him by knowing its all bullshit haha. Like yes, he’s a huge YouTube star but he’s also now huge advocate or privacy, security and mental health.

  He’s not just doing this cos he doesnt wannabe cringe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is such an idiotic take. Yes i get it, Brave do try to offer some bullshit features out of the box, but there’s bot many (if any) that don’t.

  You can vety easily and quuckly lovk down Brave to remove all their nonsense. This is just the same like you do with other browsers so all good.

  Yeah, company is shady, but browser is still grand for now if you do your own lockdown of features.

  If you wish a browser rec, please go with Mullvad.

  I know Brave is a big no no in these woods but they offer an option to select your own Content Filtering lists and one of those is Youtube Shorts.

  Fantastic privacy feature.

  Also they have Paywall Blocker, AI Suggsstion Blocker… Etc etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Rock and Stone!

  Have had manys a hilarious time with my brothers playing this… Not even on missions, just in the bar dancing and laughing our asses off!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally missed him being a Youtube jackoff and only watched my first Pewdiepie video last year when he was degoogling. Because I was doing that at as well. Then saw his Linux video and that made me realise Linux was for me.

  So while people might think he’s some sort of douche, to me he’s just fucking brilliant! So funny and smart, and really wants to help people escape from the awful internet we have now, where everything is sucking up your data. He gives great advice on how to do that and does it in such a funny way.

  People keep menyioning his redemption arc lol, but i’ve just seen the great stuff so for me, abs love his stuff! Highly recommended!

  Best thing for Linux, having such a huge Youtuber praising it so much!

  Have you tasted that shit?

  Holy fuck, amazing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The hubris lol… Oh the hubris!

  “Who needs beta testing or early access, we made Anthem, this will be brilliant! Who needs a staff, we can run it with the bare minimum.”

  Feel sad for all the devs who already lost their jobs a few weeks back n now these last few left but fuck that company! Thought they could simply profit off all the work from their staff by sacking them all immediately after release.

  Sometimes companies do get exactly what they deserve.
