I play it a little from time to time and it’s gets boring quick. Doing the same meta events uncountable amount of times isn’t exciting. Also the lack of RPG progression has drawbacks, but great for casuals. The power creep is just buffing classes, some can generate all the boons in the game. Adding new maps every expansion/update spreads out the player base, an old mmo problem, making the game look more dead than in the past.

Most, if not all game reddits, product reddits, and company reddits are secretly or openly controlled by their respective corpos. Keeping communities as third party forums is a must have IMO.

I tried a bunch of Bethesda games in the past and didn’t like any of them. I known I’m in the minority when I say that.

I have used Summit and Sync that had that feature, where I got the idea. I currently use Boost, my favorite so far, but doesn’t group yet.

Was thinking the same, but it would be nice to have a way to group all the similar communities together, just for viewing organization.

It’s the radical moderators and developers of Lemmy that censor and delete posts and comments that fit their narrative. They are trying to foster authoritarian views and perpetuating lies (like tiananmen square didn’t happen, or Ukraine invaded russia). It’s a big mess that causes problems when people voice opposing views or even sourced material and get censored and banned. Using Lemmy feels like we have to accept their cooked views. I’m hoping there will be a fork or new federation project that doesn’t have baggage. Many moved here because of the reddit bs, and now there is extreme communism baggage.

It wouldn’t be too hard to go through every archived game and determine if it’s still available through corporate means or not. Those are the ones that are threatened to be erased forever if corpos get their way. The biggest problem is the money and means to fight against corporate goons and lawyers.

Sad to see. Feels like Lemmy has no bright future with people in charge of it thinking russia’s and China’s government is good and ban difference of thoughts, opinions, and beliefs.

I just installed this today, and saw all the communications from google apps are going to Canada, which surprised me.

I always cheekily call it ‘the price is wrong’ show.

Helldivers having DRM was the red flag for me to not play it. I’m not surprised they are making more bad decisions.

Corporations have more rights than the people, and rich people hide behind their companies. So, without looking it up, I’m guessing trump business.

It might be a miscalculation of orbital body models, which has happened before. Urbain Le Verrier was able to predict Neptune’s existence. Then he tried to predict a planet between Mercury and the Sun, because the current Newtonian physics wasn’t lining up to observations, a similar situation to how Neptune was found. Then Einstein’s work on gravity modeled the orbital bodies more accurately, ending the debate if there was another planet closer to the sun than Mercury. Just a different food-for-thought point of view, as I don’t know what the answer is obviously.

Are you able to track bot posts vs regular posts? I wonder if the major drop in posts was bots being stopped.

ToS and the like are legal documents that people/customers ‘sign’ or agree to before using a service or product, usually agreed or signed AFTER a purchase has been made. Arbitration causes in these documents mean that you agree to not sue the company for any reason, like a class action lawsuit. Basically if you feel like you have been scammed or taken advantage of by that company, you cannot sue for damages. ToS are not the law though and can be superceded by legal means, like a lawsuit ironically. Correct me if I’m not 100% correct, as I’m not a lawyer and this is just my understanding of this.

When you are fired or lose your job in america, you can get unemployment benefits, or pay to compensate until you can find another job. You have to be participating with your state’s program to get the money. If you quit your job, aka you choose to leave, you cannot get unemployment benefits. The government tracks this number of people it’s paying out to AS the unemployment rate. It’s always been another misnomer name, misleading.
