Had to read it 3 times to make sure
  • If that’s what it is them that’s awesome. I want to be able to see a company do something that sounds like a good thing without that back of the mind thought of ‘what are they up to…’

    Steam being actually based would be great.

  • Had to read it 3 times to make sure
  • Found in the comments on Steam. On one hand, I love that Steam is going in the opposite direction of literally every other company. On the other hand, it does seem like it’s not being done to be good guys.

    It still was a nice surprise to see “btw no forced arbitration”.

    Edit: I am too lazy to look for real sources, so take this with a grain of salt and go look for the real sources I’m too lazy to look for.

  • On this day 10 years ago, Microsoft acquired #Minecraft developer Mojang for US$2.5 billion.
  • They pushed the version with microtransactions as the main version (Changing Minecraft Bedrock to just Minecraft and changing Minecraft to Minecraft Java).

    Not to mention microtransactions existing in any real version of the game at all. Once upon a time, that was a joke. Now it’s not a joke.

  • Regarding the Future of Palworld
  • If you’ve played it before, it has the same feel imo.

    There’s new lands, more QoL, new pals. Nothing drastic I’ve noticed from its release state.

    Think Minecraft and then Minecraft after like 3-4 updates.

  • Those poor plants
  • Different people react to different things. It takes many approaches to reach multiple types of humans.

    I personally reacted after months of being shown hypocrisy, with the tipping point being when I said there’s no problem with eggs and dairy before I was shown what the egg and dairy industries do.

    Part of that process was really realizing, not just knowing but consciously thinking about and considering the fact that humans are also meat. I am meat. The cats I loved were meat. My human family is meat. It’s not okay to eat them in a sandwich. Why is it okay to eat strangers in a sandwich?

    No one approach will work on every human, and many people take a lot of different approaches over time to really understand.

  • Those poor plants
  • Vegan is a philosophy, not a diet. The word you’re looking for is plant-based, not vegan.

    A vegan wouldn’t buy leather shoes or woolen sweaters. Someone on a plant-based diet would.

  • Post upvotes are like github stars
  • I gave you some from a girl to help balance things out!

    But I can promise you, from many years net positive on reddit and a not disimilar result here, that you’re not reading your own tone.

    Be mindful of the tone, only come off as combative against a near universally disliked topic, and know when you don’t care to curate yourself and are ready for the downvotes.

    Your wording here makes you out to be combative, and people are combative in response. Read your own comments as if they’re directed AT you. And look specifically at what’s likely to make you want to argue back. You may even be surprised at what can get net positive response with the right wording.

  • How would you react if Reddit joined the fediverse?
  • I feel like the difference with Threads is Meta is owned by a much larger threat that can’t be trusted not to use Embrace Extend Extinguish in some evil genius way that ends up working.

    Reddit’s owned by some dummy that did a lot of damage to his own platform but isn’t known to be smart enough or have the resources to threaten the fediverse.

  • How would you react if Reddit joined the fediverse?
  • I came to Lemmy because I disliked what Steve Huffman did to reddit.

    I’d be completely fine with the users being here. I do miss the whole active community for every niche little thing part. If if federates that’d be neat.

    It won’t, since greedy Steve Huffman can’t sell the fediverse to Google while screwing 3rd party devs and users that make it what it is. But I’d welcome it.

  • Muted
  • I can’t see the real person behind the avatar when I play multiplayer so I’m reporting them no matter what color their real skin is.

    We’re all rainbow colored here, don’t go bringing real life slurs into the chat.

  • Dawnguard vs Volkihar: A list of what each side gets

    A comparison I typed up 7 years ago that seems to have helped a few people choose between Dawnguard vs Volkihar.

    Dawnguard gets:

    • Pet huskies
    • Pet armoured trolls
    • Master Level trainers in Archery, Heavy Armor, Restoration, and Smithing.
    • A couple followers
    • Better crossbows
    • Easier access to Dwarven and Elemental bolts
    • Easier access to the spells Stendarr's Aura and Vampire's Bane
    • Chance to convince Serana to cure her vampirism.
    • Attacked by Volkihar Vampires. (I think) Guards/Citizens will get involved with the fight, risking their own lives to help.

    Volkihar gets:

    • Pet death hounds
    • Master Two-Handed trainer and Expert speech trainer
    • Thralls in the castle you can feed on
    • The Ring of the Erudite, Ring of The Beast, Amulet of The Gargoyle, and Amulet of Bats
    • The Bloodstone Chalice, to enhance your vampiric powers
    • A free player home with merchants (the castle itself)
    • The chance to turn your spouse into a vampire
    • Easier access to Necromantic Healing and Heal Undead
    • Attacked by the Danguard in the wild. Guards/citizens won't help with the fight.

    Both sides get:

    • Serana as a follower
    • Auriel's Bow and Bloodcursed arrows
    • Access to Vampire Lord form and Bloodcursed Arrows*
    • Durnehviir
    • Radiant quests to kill vampires**
    • As long as Serana is still a vampire ** Yes, Members of Clan Volkihar will request that you go kill vampires. Don't think the Dawnguard are the only ones upset at random vampires attacking towns!
