Google has destroyed their own ads revenue by adding more and more ads. Imagine they’d have stopped with simple side banner and people would’ve not even bothered to use an adblocker because of it. This tiny little banner would’ve been worth as much as the multiple seconds ads now. The companies would pay as much, as there’d be no alternate.

For some games it improves the feeling of speed. A racing game feels faster with it enabled.

I unintentionally did this once. I still feel bad about it 7 years later. But hey, I won.

Where does the believe even originate from, that Redditors are any different than Lemmings? Basically the same people minus the youngest, because they stick with using Reddit. They might or might not migrate eventually.

Make communities here bigger by contributing and spread the word of Reddit alternative. Make search engines find Lemmy content and then it goes on it’s own. I guess Bluesky will push the Fediverse, but I wonder how long people will stick to a Twitter esque when they could have Lemmy full text conversations and tree structures?

Politician hardly talk to the crowd with direct words, because it requires a level of nationalism and populism to still be convincing. A lot of solutions aren’t nice to the common folks. Take taxes for instance, most don’t like paying them. And if there are hard times and there’s just one person who promises you a better life, it’s compelling to follow. Hitler had a certain way of talking that made you feel emotions, in a time of desperation. And he promised solutions by declaring enemies.

Not to start with US politics here, but you can certainly look at how Trump talks and you see the same playbook. The same similarities. The same way of seeking for an enemy and also the false promises. Others talk like him too, but this is so recent.

I fully agree. So much sadness, seeing the uninformed, doing the same mistakes we warn for every day. It’s depressing, because even if you try to look at the brighter side and at the larger part of people who are kind and anti fascism. To know that group dynamics could destroy all of this in a year. Humans are capable of the worst, even when they believe in acting in good faith. Truth is, we humans are too easily manipulated and fear of isolation when standing up to the crowd makes people cowards. What is “good” is sadly just a matter of perspective and not even a question about quantity. When times get dire, the people will follow the easy solution.

I want more of this. Reminds me on the anime Darker than Black, where those with power always had to fulfill some contract to use their power, else they’d die.

Golden Sun is love, so much so, that there’s hardly a week when I don’t stumble upon that name.

Urban Rivals. No one is talking about that game anymore. It used to be an amazing browser game. By now it’s even on steam, but apparently they cut a lot of the animations so the crowd isn’t happy about it. The card artworks are cool and the gameplay (was) fun. I don’t know if it’s still the same, as live games tend to change game mechanics.

Every other game I play('d) is mentioned at least sometimes (once a week).

Even stuff like Gothic, Golden Sun, Ragnarok Online.

Well it’s a video game, it looks great and people should check it out on Steam. I think it also launches for console. It’s very beautifully with its Ghibli art style and creatures. It won’t be action packed and be more focused on terra forming and animals and exploration.

19. Nov. 2024 Towers of Aghasba early access launch.

I sometimes think back on this game, I loved playing the large two handed spears. Spinning around.

Terraria has some really fun mage gameplay.

I advice people to not install invincible mods right away. But the game is full with content and you often die instantly. I personally had to use a respawn mod to see all of its content. The game is really hard, probably the most difficult game I’ve ever played. Souls games are a cakewalk in comparison.

Yeah, also with physical games, it might be possible to save money, unless they all want to play the same game at the same time.

Get a piercing and remove it before coitus.

Stop hitting yourself, argument.

Also if you count blood donations, it’s currently the only known way to reduce forever chemicals in your blood.

Younger than 30yo the technical knowledge declines rapidly, so it’s very unlikely for them to be here.

I hate this because for Europe it will become expensive too, just for the heck of it.
