I don’t wanna be mean to the guy who effectively just lost his job but like, come on bro. Reddit wasn’t exactly hiding their negative intentions, outright lies, and lack of respect.

blur

I miss power-up racers that weren’t just Mariokart clones, like NASCAR Rumble and that.

Except they have outright removed a bunch. All but two of the r/TIHI mods were purged, as an example.

Literally why

They already have Truth Social and Twitter.

It wasn’t broken as hell after like two weeks of development when the critical glitches like save corruption were getting fixed. As someone who didn’t overhype the game for a decade and only bought it because I knew everyone else was going to, I had a great time. It was just cool to hate the game up until the anime dropped and everyone suddenly forgot they hated it.

Even if the obvious situation wasn’t just “companies treat us terribly so we don’t care about them,” why would anyone want to work? Am I supposed to desire wasting a third of my life doing labor? Fuck no, I support automation and UBI.

It’s just another dumb boomer insult trying to step on the nerves of people who didn’t grow up huffing leaded gasoline.

It’s not gonna extinguish the fediverse in the same way nobody leaving reddit joined Mastodon as a replacement. They’re technically compatible, but these are entirely different styles of sites we’re talking about. Lemmy and Kbin are gonna keep on trucking regardless of what happens to the Twitter-likes.

But they’re definitely going to try and kill Mastodon/similar through social engineering. Everybody’s favorite content creators, organizations, and brands will be on Threads, not Mastodon, and when they lock it down we’ll lose access to them and end up needing a Threads account. I don’t understand why anyone trusts this company won’t try to secure market dominance and then monopolize it. The guy says “we’ll just be right back where we are now,” but this could easily decrease the Mastodon population by pulling away anyone who doesn’t care about federation or open source and just wanted a decent Twitter alternative.

LEGO games and Minecraft (on Peaceful difficulty) would be pretty good I imagine.

Boost is still up at the moment but Boost for Lemmy is already up for pre-registration, so I don’t think it’s a hard cutoff or anything.

You don’t have to make excuses for an independent company that willingly took on a project and was in no way coerced into it.

I mean, the answer kinda just has to be something like Call of Duty to make sense. Think about how much evolution that series has gone through over the years, and how many components there are between campaign, multiplayer, Zombies, spec ops, battle royale, and most recently DMZ. It’s probably the most variety you’d get from just one franchise.

Votes are public here, as are moderator actions, so we can actually see everything going on, including empty accounts only used to bot upvote stuff. In addition, not every platform works the same way. Some have upvotes and downvotes, some only have upvotes, some are wonky like kbin where upvotes don’t count toward reputation but boosts do, etc. An upvote isn’t just an upvote like it is on reddit. They also can’t “enshittify” something that users can self-host their own instances of to interact.

Edit: Also, we’re in the early stages right now, reddit has a decade lead.

The only things Annapurna has made up until now have been exclusivity deals. This is their first game that’s actually theirs.

Twitter: You need to turn off two-factor authentication because we put that behind a paywall.

Twitter: You need an account to view content now.

These two things combined just mean I’m not going to be looking at Twitter content, period. I refuse to disable 2FA and make my account less secure, so I just logged out. By logging out, I now am unable to view content. Twitter’s slowly doing everything they can to kill off the efficacy of corporate messaging on their platform, huh?

If anything, the real laughing is all of the stuff we’ve been doing to fuck with reddit anyway. Destroying subs, burning posts and comments, deleting accounts.

Leaving.

I wouldn’t be so hopeful, Twitch has pretty much remained unbeaten and the only “ad block” solution I’ve found still gives a 30 second interruption of the stream, it just doesn’t show the ad anymore. It’s why I don’t use the site anymore, even with Twitch Turbo as an option these days.

I grew up browsing the Facepunch forums, where self-rating posts was also possible and public at least at one point in time.

To be blunt, it kinda just made everyone who did it look like a tool and they got hella made fun of. So no, you’re not the only one, I avoid upvoting my own stuff like the plague.

In essence, yes. These blockchain games exist for two reasons:

1. They want “play to earn” gameplay where people are grinding to get items of real value to sell, like a job.
2. They want it on everything, not just Steam where the community market already exists.

Problem is nobody likes or wants NFTs.

Nvidia seems committed to their awful pricing and they’re raking in the money via enterprise AI nonsense, so I’d expect no price change.

Not to mention that you’re still just buying their latest card so the strategy is working after all.

I feel as if this is the first real sign that this shit has had an impact. Minecraft isn’t a small community by any means, and them ditching the huge subreddit over this is shocking.
