“yOu WoUlDnT dOwNlOaD a cUnT.”

You cant pirate pussy, and we all know how gamers feel about subscription models.

Its not just Japan.

Squid game, Money heist, Furies and a few other things Ive watched just on Netflix in the last few years just hit differently. Hollywood just has too many formulas that become obvious once you notice them, too many investors and networks wanting a safe ROI as opposed to pure creativity. Even the brits are a bit more willing to put “unconventionally attractive” people in leading roles and write things a bit dryer and grittier than a lot of American productions.

Something about stuff not coming through that system just feels different.

I asked a friend who plays it and he says its good with randoms, but great if you have a crew you regularly game with.

20 million divided by 1.7 is about $11 per person, which isnt really that high.

I also think theres a distinction to be made between microtransactions in f2p titles and microtransactions in AAA premium titles. I logged something like 4000 hours in Mechwarrior online and I bought mech packs because I wanted to support the devs.

Listen teens, I’m 40. I was a niteclub bouncer in a town popular with backpackers and partying, I also did a lot of traveling and partying. I was shameless, its a miracle it didnt fall off.

When you say you fucked my mom, its childish and stupid. When I say I fucked your mom while its not likely its possible… and thats worse.

Volunteers are a double edged sword. At some volume of users and content it either needs to be a huge team of like minded volunteers which increases the likelihood of ye power tripping bastards or someone who is paid to do it and spend the time with rules to follow.

Damn right, I’m only on Lemmy because there isnt a better alternative, not because its great.

The sad fact is that for social media to not suck you need moderation, for moderation not to suck they need to be paid mods, which means it has to make money somehow, which either means adds, subscriptions or mining user data…

I got this via fax machine.

You’re clearly trying to paint Elon in a bad light! Why did you leave out the footage of the Romans doing it huh?

Yeah, there needs to be a Lemmy.norm

Honestly, the only thing marketplace sucks for is cars.

Ive only ever had luck selling cars on platforms that require you to pay to list. Marketplace just gets you an endless string of time wasters and people who want it for half the asking price.

Because Facebook killed enthusiast forums for most of my hobbies and everyone migrated to FB. Thats where the knowledge is.

Not too long after it came out I was good at Siege and I mean good I was ranked in the top 1000 players and I thought that was pretty badass. I got a DM from some guy who was like “Hey I’m from TEAM and we wanted to know if you wanted to try out for our Siege squad?” I said thanks but no thanks, I have a mortgage and a full time and then some job. I dont want to take on the obligation.

I then went and googled the team, I was being courted by serious professional players. I still decided I didnt want that headache but as someone who has always been an underachiever it was like an IRL achievement popup or a level up notification. Like… look what I can achieve when I actually give a fuck and put the work in.

My prediction is that sony and microsoft will have benchmarks 3rd party devices have to hit in order to buy a “PS6 Compatable” logo for their product. So you can buy a Msi Claw 3 or whatever, sign into the PSN and shop the sony catalogue.

Because AI can screen far more private personal conversations between potential dissidents than real people can?

There needs to be a lemmy.norm or some shit.

Just photoshop requests, memes, hobbies and dumb “askreddit” shit.

Ive had companies call my mom over stuff because the last known contact information they found for me was from when I was still living with my parents. Literally years after I moved out.

The “A.I” excuse stuff reads like bullshit. The mom call might just be old information.

Because Lemmy is a voluntary echo chamber.

Honestly the USA is going fucking insane and China is starting to look stable and rational by comparison.

China is like “yes, we are predictably slightly evil” America wakes up every day, takes a fistfull of Hunter S Thompsons briefcase, snorts it and then hucks a dart at a D&D alignment chart.
