Who looks at this and thinks it isn’t satire lol? I sometimes struggling with telling satire apart, too, but this is the most obvious piece of satire I’ve seen in a long time.

'tis the highest honour

I mostly get my games through steam, which allows you to set multiple library locations, and then asks which drive you want them installed on. Besides that, every game or program installer I’ve ever used has asked me which drive I want it installed onto, although sometimes you need to check the custom install box first

I live in the country with Ampilatwatja and Jarlmadangah Burru. This is nothing

90 whats?

Now I kinda want to write a full license, complete with all the legal jargon, that takes up 43 pages of space to say you can do whatever the fuck you want with this software

Don’t forget to upvote good segments and downvote bad ones. Segments that are downvoted enough get hidden or removed. That’s a pretty big part of how they prevent malicious people (possibly with outside instances) from trying to sabotage the network

Are spaces used in place of commas in regular casual conversations, too? In Australia, I’ve only ever seen them used in really formal documents like financial reports, never really anywhere else

I think the company should also be required to clearly state the amount of time they’ll keep supporting the game and will operate the servers for. If they decide to shut them down early, everybody should be given the choice to either receive a full refund or the non DRMd version of the game + the server software like you suggested.

In general I think all paid games should be required to clearly state the amount of time they’ll keep providing feature updates for, as well as support for new hardware, major bug fixes, and minor bug fixes. Although games that aren’t online and just reach EoL are still playable for quite some time, eventually there’ll be some breaking operating system or hardware change that will force the use of a virtual machine, compatibility software, or other types of emulation to keep playing. That might not happen for 50 years, at which point you probably don’t care, but still. I’d give more leniency to indie Devs and games made as passion projects, though.

Although obvious once you think about it, I don’t think most people realise or even think of the fact they will eventually not be able to play the game they’re buying. And these mega companies need to stop making games they dump 6 months after launch.

Recently I’ve been falling asleep to ThioJoe. They do occasionally have minor sound effects, but I can ignore those. He maintains a consistent tone throughout

I go to sleep wearing noise cancelling headphones and playing YouTube videos from a handful of creators with nice monotone voices that I’ve seen before. If I don’t, then my mind gets too preoccupied with thinking about things that aren’t important, and on top of that every single little noise gives me an adrenaline rush and I feel the need to get out of bed and go investigate

I’d support an option to collapse them automatically (and would probably use it), but I disagree that they’re a bad idea. I use them a lot and really like it.

If this was implemented, I think it should render similar to how spoilers do on web Lemmy, but with the title being prefixed with [photo] and the title itself being the alt text if set. Something like this:

Spoilers aren’t actually implemented in BfL yet, but that’d look like this:

Not able to reproduce this either with posts or comments (including the askreddit thread with 2k comments) on a pixel 7 running Android 14, but I’ll take a look on my old phone later on and see if I can reproduce it on that (Oppo A72, Android 11)

Vulve is my favourite company. Can’t wait for their new game store, stamp, to come out!

Thanks!

Heya, sorry for the necropost, but would you mind sharing how you’re doing on storage these days? I’m looking at spinning up a Lemmy instance of my own and I’m curious about the storage aspect on small instances

I guess the mods didn’t find this very funny, since they nuked it. Disappointing, because I was able to read it through the magic of caching and it made me crack up laughing

4k! What sorcery is this?

Why’s it a static gif

I once saw 2 blokes getting on the tram with half a tv. It was a 50" or so tv with the back plastic thing missing. They were both shirtless and both seemed to be completely out of it on something. I sort of concluded they ripped a tv off the wall but didn’t have a way to get it home, or to a pawn shop or wherever they were planning on taking it
