Generally it is a reaction to having the popular stuff forced into their spaces. Pop music like Coldplay makes its way into movies, shows, and store music so it is always there to cause annoyance.
Like I hate Jared fucking Leto because he keeps getting into movies I would otherwise want to enjoy. If he was only in movies I don’t want to watch then I wouldn’t think of him at all, like the other actors and actresses that don’t ever think about.
And they were really popular so it was like eating unflavored yogurt all the time.
Some people like that, which is why they were popular. The rest of us suffered.
The response to it as bait is that anyone saying that seriously is an idiot.
If you are referring to this:
Once she was done, I say to her “Let’s get you out of that wet dress. I imagine it must be uncomfortable. I’ve never actually worn a wet dress before”.
That is just someone who blurts out a thought they had after saying something else, pretty common with ADHD. Like at first they were thinking about wet shorts, which can get pretty uncomfortable fast if they aren’t made to get wet, then realized dresses might not have the same feeling since they aren’t connected in the middle. I could absolutely see myself saying something along these lines depending on the material of the clothing and the appearance of how it sticks to the body.
If you mean the wife’s reaction then asking her would be necessary because I have no idea where she is coming from that would make something like that sound sexist.
taking 30% from devs by doing nothing.
If this was true steam would have failed from the start. Instead, the service actually does offer a ton of benefits to both users and developers/publishers including distribution of sales, updates, additional features like forums, friends, and other things that have varying levels of positive or negative benefits to different people. That isn’t even mentioning Proton or the steam deck, just what it between the makers of the games and the people who play them.
Lootboxes are bullshit, sure. He should have spread out the benefits more to the employees as well. But the 30% cut for ‘nothing’ is incorrect.
Wanting closure is a preference and does not apply to all games. Counter Strike 2 doesn’t have a story and there is zero closure for example.
The industry trying to force games into a live service model when they shouldn’t be is a problem, sure. There are a few games where the model actually is a benefit though, like Helldivers 2. Other than wrapping up things somehow while winding down the game there isn’t an opportunity for closure while an endless war is going on. The setting itself is why closure isn’t on the table.
So I agree with the overall idea as it applies to games in general, but it isn’t some universal truth.
Yes, requiring people to be civil when discussing topics that negatively impact them directly stifles the ability to convey how much they are suffering. Being forced to be polite to oppressors is absolutely awful.
So one thing that is an inherent issue with the distributed structure is inconsistent rules. There are instance rules and community rules and similar communities on different instances don’t have the same server or community rules, and a feed like All or even Subscribed is listing a bunch of things with different rules for interaction and adding a requirement to know all the rules for each individual post is unrealistic. Sure, most comments are fine if someone isn’t a complete jackass, but that mostly means the rules are not relevant the majority of the time.
Did you read and understand both the instance and community rules before commenting here? I did not, and have no regrets.
Plus it isn’t just about the literal stuff, it is about not letting her have any stuff. Like if he didn’t keep everything, then he would see himself as ‘losing’.
It’s petty selfishness all the way down.

Or because the person you elected has Musk lay you off.
Aka supporting the party that fired you.
You mean 50501000s?
All styles have some variation within them.
Because the tech he makes is inherently terrible and despite being used in a positive way it is still centralized and ripe for misuse by people like Musk. On top of that the long term feasibility is based on advertising potential to get the funding.
He says positive stuff most of the time but his actions are the opposite. Blusky is supposed to be decentralized, but the structure as it exists requires it to actually be centralized when implemented. Plus his most recent ‘secure’ thing wasn’t even tested for security issues because he is a hype man who constantly lies.
Not really, I have stepped in dogshit was better than Zuck.
Jack Dorsey should just fucking stop.
They paid for their expertise, even offering a bonus that was clearly less than whatever their projected profit would be, and then tried to squander it because they didn’t listen to their expertise.
Publishers in all kinds of industries are risk adverse to the point of not trusting whoever they made deals with to follow through. This is totally on brand for publishers!
One developer at a separate company who played Subnautica 2 and requested anonymity because they signed a non-disclosure agreement told Bloomberg they enjoyed the game and that it “seemed way more robust” than other titles in early access.
Yeah, this is clearly the publisher trying to get out of paying the full bonus.
It is very user friendly, at least for reliability and security if you keep it in a safe location. It is cumbersome and slow.
