You’re criticising the OP for low effort, but also the community for high interest. What are you trying to say really?

Why entertainment is a luxury, knowledge and education is basically what human civilization is built upon and should be free. Of course the reality is that people need money in the current system we live in and we have to reward those somehow who dedicates their time and efforts to education.

So I’ve arrived to a conundrum… Because I think morally it’s more acceptable to pirate educational content (imho), but I’m also more likely to pay the educators, as it is a very important job. Of course this does not apply to when someone just gatekeeps knowledge because of greed, it’s very similar to charity fraud in my book

Jonathan Blow said he might try his hand at creating an operating system (maybe after finishing his programming language Jai, and his gargantuan Sokoban game :)) Sadly it’s unrealistic another operating system will be created for the general public without massive funds.

Interesting find. I guess the target audience are VR arcades/rentals. Considering they probably return the investment in a couple dozen sessions it’s reasonable price (for a business).

I’m personally not going to hate on or dismiss a person based on political opinions or ideologies

Suppoze , 2 months ago

Such hateful ideas are a symptom which can have wast variety of root cause. Your example is quite extreme and I agree it rightfully warrants hatred, but I’d argue that it’s all the more reason to not dismiss a person. We should seek connection with and understand these people and prevent destructive ideas from spreading IMHO, because there will be others who also won’t dismiss the person - only difference is that they might be receptive for hateful ideas. Sorry if I came across supporting these ideas, this is not the case.

Yaaaaaas! I’m really happy for this. void Bastards was great, however I’d have loved if it had more content, longevity and replayibility. But it was a wery solid game with oozing personality.

I hope we get the same quality and style, but maybe with a little more content this time!

You pay for it, sure, but I’m not sure you “purchase” a rental car. Imho there sould be a legistlation that says you can’t use wording like “buy” or “purchase” for digital media that you don’t own. Like “buy license” or “start rental”… IDK

This… Also, what a loaded and opinionated question. It implies that you shouldn’t be on X because of Elon Musk, if OP was genuinely curious about why someone uses X, they could have asked a neutral question: “Are you using X? Why or why not?” or “If you are using X, why and how?”. This currently just reflects the OP’s opinion for validation I guess?

Suppoze , 4 months ago

Yeah. You just have to be aware of how others percieve you and just write that. Your percieved strengths and weaknesses and all that. In no way do you have to actually evaluate yourself as a person.

Thankfully they are having a resurgence recently (in my experience). I think Valve had a big part in it with Nextfest, which is focused on demos basically.

We as a society should stop punishing people for insignificant crimes against big corpos. This sentence sounds something out of a dystopia. Really, even if there is supposedly 5 million USD in damages, are there any proof that anyone working at Rockstar games will feel the impact as a person? It is such a huge company I bet they wouldn’t even feel it. Maybe there needs to be some cost cutting here and there, or maybe some people will lose some jobs? But neither warrants lifelong confinement - this is something you might get if you ruin someones life forever.

I don’t doubt the guy had good intentions at first, my theory is that greed got to him as the money started to pour in. What would have been the end goal if nobody ever notices? Can you even hide this kind of money from authorities as a charity organization?

However, I think he still can salvage the situation and his some of his reputation if he owns up to his mistakes and donates all of the money now.

Yes! To add to this, please let me invert the analog stick camera controls. Both axis! My biggest pet peeve is when a game let’s you invert the Y axis, but not the X… Why? You were so close dammit how much effort is adding the other really?

Suppoze , 7 months ago

It makes sense for me in third person games. Imagine a stick stuck in the protagonist head from behind. You are the camera behind the character, imagine you grabbing the stick and rotating the head with that. You have to pull the stick down for the character to look up, and push it upwards to look down. By the same logic, you have to move it left for the character to look right, and vice versa. The stick is the analog stick on the gamepad.

Once you get used to this control scheme, it’s quite hard to re-learn non-inverted controls.

You can use without plugins as well, they are not a must. I’ve been using Obsidian for years just for it’s inter-connected markdown references. Kind of like a wiki, I’m just taking markdown notes and sometimes create a link to another related note. Also, good at handling attachments and embeds. I haven’t used anything else (maybe tags nowadays… But that’s it) Thing is, if you like markdown then you should give it a go.

Cultist Simulator somehow made me feel the same fanaticism as I assume a cultist would feel. It can be very addicting, chasing the endgame, driven by curiosity and desire for power. Not for everyone though.

Thank you for the tip, I’ll sign up. I occasionally use the audio call functionality, but shouldn’t be an issue.

Suppoze OP , 9 months ago

You’re right, I did not even notice the persistent notification! What a unnecessarily annoying move. This deserved an early bird uninstall for me…

Suppoze , 9 months ago

Really interesting. I watch anime occasionally and I’ve been wondering about this. But suddenly the dramatic shoutouts between the good guys and the big bad makes a little bit more sense.

I’d be glad to hear more examples!

Yeah, what is that anyway? I see some meat maybe, some sauce, some sad onions… but no idea

I’m one of the 2%! Recently I installed Pop_OS besides Windows, and works like a charm with most games I play be it native or running through Proton. Granted, I mostly play indies with lower system requirements, I still need to boot up windows when I want to play something demanding (like Deep Rock Galactic above 60 FPS).

Finnish! Especially since Iistened to Jukio Kallio’s Kuvankaunis album. Listened to it many times.

Maybe it’s so alluring to me because it sounds close to hungarian, but at the same time more rythmic and melodic to me.

I’ve had the luck to meet some good Turkish people for a couple of days a few years back, I remember they showed me all kinds of music. I agree, it’s also a beautiful language.

BTW, én is magyar vagyok, igen :) Ugyan itt bojler eladó!

+1 for Mark of the Ninja. The gameplay is so polished, great art direction, and simple but satisfying. It is a staple Klei Entertainment game. Not to mention the good story, at least as I remember. It’s not a new game, released originally in 2012, however there’s a remastered version on Steam.

Suppoze , 1 year ago

Very good article, I agree with most of the points.

I also like to think that AI will never replace programmers, because for that to happen, the customer would have to give complete, correct and full requirements and specifications in plain, simple English - we know that almost never happens. Instead, you have to force the requirements out of them with pliers!

How is it possible, that with 90% of subbreddits set to private, the number of posts and comments created on reddit do not decrease according to blackout.photon-reddit.com? (EDIT: I might have based this percent on misinterpreted information, see EDIT at end of comment. But I leave the following paragraphs unchanged for history and food for thought.)

Activity only decreased by 20-30% if I’m being generous looking at the graph. How is this possible, is the graph accurate? How can 10% of subreddits be so active, like nothing happened? That would meanthe remaining 70-80% of activity is happening in 10% of the subreddits which are still open! Which is craaazy.

I have a theory - maybe we are underestimated the amount of bots on the site and they operating like nothing happened in the open subreddits? If this would be the case (and I’m gonna enter speculation and conspiracy territory here), but what if certain parties have quotas to fulfill for advertisers or propaganda machines, so they have to post (using bots or other means)?

I struggle to find the cause of this anomaly, of course you wouldn’t see 1:1 decrease in subbreddits going dark and activity, because people are subscibed to plethora of subbreddits. But I thought that it’ll be at least 50-60% decrease in post activity. Worst case scenario is that these are real users creating real posts and comments, because that would make this protest moot - It would just show reddit management that the community doesn’t matter, general public who come to the site will still interact with the remaining slop, advertisers rejoice.

EDIT: I based the 90% number on this site’s statistic: reddark.untone.uk. My understanding was that these subreddits makes up for most of all subs on reddit. Turns out, as @brightside mentioned in this comment, these are only subreddits that participate in the blackout. Based on the README.md of this reddark fork, it pulls the list of participating subreddits from the threads on r/ModCoord.

However I still feel the impact of the blackout a little lackluster. If this is the case, this statistic could be explained by another phenomenon: that the distribution of reddit activity by subreddits have an incredibly long tail. Meaning, that a significant portion of comments and posts are created in a very large quantity of small subs, which does not participate in the protest.

But as @immolator mentioned in this comment, it’s not only the long tail effect, but there are huge subreddits which does not participate as well, including the largest one /r/AskReddit. Really makes you think about how the blackout is going against the odds.
