Helldivers 2 servers to hit the 800,000 CCU max
  • It's the shadiest anti-cheat on the market with a very troubled history. It was enough on its own to make me reconsider buying the game.

  • Should I stick with The Outer Wilds? (EDIT: yes)
  • It sounds like you're a little bit into it. If at this point you are not curious about the Nomai or why you keep dying and finding answers to those questions, then you should stop playing. The game might not be for you. Because it tells a non-linear story and if you don't care about the story then there's nothing there for you.

    That being said, my experience with the game was heavily influenced by recent loss in my life and playing it helped me process my grief. Naturally that is a highly personal experience. But there was one point in particular where I read one bit of text and the realization of the implications just made me sit there and cry until I died.

    But I was fully invested in the story. If that isn't important to you the gameplay alone isn't going to carry it.

    ‘I am sorry’: Unity partially walks back on controversial monetization plans | VGC
  • Someone finally calculated the cost of legal challenges, I guess. While this certainly saves in developer costs in legal fees, I don't see why anyone would keep their projects in Unity under the new terms, charging a developer based on a metric disconnected from sales is always going to incur unacceptable risk unless the developer has really deep pockets.

  • Disney CEO says company will 'quiet the noise' in culture wars
  • Sleeping Beauty was a racy sexual culture war statement.

  • Unity Apologizes For Runtime Fee Policy, Promises To Alter Plan This Week
  • "We apologize for the confusion" is the "I'm sorry you're angry" of corporate communication.

  • Property developer Tim Gurner wants unemployment to "rise to 40-50%" reminding people that "they work for the employer, not the other way around" [video, 2 min]
  • And how does he expect businesses to stay afloat with half their staff? Does he believe businesses don't need labor? Unemployment at 40-50% would indicate an economy in shambles.

  • Game developers flee Unity after exorbitant price plan announced, but not everyone can get out
  • Even if they are not currently lying and have the magical ability to determine the exact number of installs. They have shown that they will arbitrarily change their pricing structure. There is no way they can be trusted. Anyone who can move their project to a new engine would be wise to do so.

  • Nexus Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod
  • Interesting that bigots are so insecure in their bigotry that they require it to be externally validated. How pitiful.

  • Nexus Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod
  • Because the mod itself is intended as a form of political grandstanding. So that bigots can download it thousands of times and then hold it up and say 'look how many people are modding the woke out of BG3' in an attempt to discourage inclusive content in other titles.

  • New files shed light on ExxonMobil’s efforts to undermine climate science
  • It's not an exaggeration to say that millions, if not billions of people will die because of the actions of ExxonMobil. Those responsible should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

  • I'm pretty sure I've actually seen lemmy logs grow that fast
  • Just add

  • EA confirms The Sims 5 will be free-to-play and co-exist alongside The Sims 4
  • I am cautiously hopeful for Life By You. My favorite thing in the Sims was to set up crazy soap opera dramas and see what happens, but Sims 4 sims are so docile and boring, it feels a lot more like just playing with dolls and decorating the house. I'm not judging if that's the part you like, but it's just not for me.

  • Trump Announces Press Conference to Prove Election Was Stolen – Rolling Stone
  • I don't see how this isn't a brazen attempt to taint the jury pool. If he has evidence exonerating him he just needs to present it in court.

  • What games have you played in the last 365 days that stand out to you as the most memorable experiences?
  • Outer Wilds is top of my list for most profound video game experiences. I have never went from joy to thinking "Oh. Oh..." so fast in one game. Plus, the music and graphics are so well done and support the narrative themes and mood. Just a masterpiece game.

  • Stick with the story through the end of Shadowbringers there is a good payoff.

  • Eating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds
  • I would describe myself as vegetarian but there is a wide variety of ways to be strict about it so it's almost a useless way to describe oneself. Personally, I avoid cheese because of rennet, wine because of eisenglass, I won't eat anything with gelatin, i avoid eggs unless they come from my friends who have chickens (because I know their chickens are well cared for). I end up being close to vegan but don't really feel like that label fits me because I'm sure I eat butter without realizing it, or other milk products which can end up in places you don't expect (milk is in tootsie rolls, for example).

    On the other hand I know vegetarians who just avoid meat and are fine with chicken or beef stock or gelatin.

  • ‘Whistleblower’ who accused Bidens of corruption charged with arms trafficking (and acting as an unregistered agent of China)
  • So this guy knows he is about to get charged and invents some bullshit he knows will get traction with congressional Republicans so he can claim the prosecution is politically motivated.

  • Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Threads | Semafor
  • This seems like a pretty heavy lift for Twitter and while I hardly support Meta, if Twitter somehow manages to win sole ownership of the concept of microblogs it would be bad for everyone.

  • "Antiwoke" magazin on kbin.social posting bullshit like "how to end Wokeness" and "Time to reject the extrem trans lobby harming our society" How to report ? he is the moderator of that magazin.
  • Respectfully, I disagree. If you are running a bar and a nazi comes in with all their nazi periphranalia and orders a drink and behaves. You still kick them out. Because if you don't the next time they will bring all their nazi friends and it will be much harder to kick them out and then your other patrons stop showing up because of all the nazis around and now you are running a nazi bar.

    Ban hate trolls. Ban them immediately. Because if that content festers on the site it will be much harder to ban later.
