Lemmy is no more elite or exclusive than Reddit.

Because there have been motor vehicles in Warcraft since forever.

You say that straight people aren’t bullied for being straight, and yet the straight tag is in quotation marks and costs 9999 instead of 75. Which is bullying compared to other tags.

I myself am bi. I would never “wear” a badge saying that. But I understand people that would want to. I also understand people who would want to wear a straight badge. And saying that the only reason to wear one is to be reactionary to gay pride and to “be a counter movement” feels like gatekeeping people away from their sexual identity. I don’t want “straight” to be “normal” and “gay” to be “abnormal”. Assumptions ruin this world and lead to stereotypes.

There was a dude who posted like 3 pics of his totally wrecked car on Facebook.

He then got the “memories” reel with a catchy melody and the same 3 pictures of the fucked up car rotating in and out.

That’d imply that my take is equally unhinged when it’s the default thing that happens when an animal bites someone and might have been carrying rabies.

Then there is no point in talking to you. What they did was 100% justified and that’s the end of the discussion.

So what that humans can carry rabies? Do you see a difference between a human and a squirrel or not?

You miss the fact that they confiscated it, then it bit someone, then they tested it for rabies.

Because it is a wild animal that can carry rabies.

The way it played out is the squirrel bit someone. The only way to check for rabies and be 100% certain is to cut the brain. Which obviously doesn’t lead to the animal being alive anymore. But at the end of the day, a squirrel’s life is less important than that of a human, so it had to be done.

Games / game engines use units which correspond to size IRL. It’s needed to keep scale consistent. The characters are usually around 1.8m tall for instance

To be able to say “our map is 100x100km!” The only games where it is worth it to have a huge map like that, is army simulators and RTS. Anything else could probably be better off with polish in some other place, rather than a huge map.

I get it on mobile. I think it does it with playlists. I launch some music for background noise and it stops after a while.

Other features I guess. Like the bullcrap “are you still watching” that pops up every three videos, music maybe. I’m thinking of some waiting room TV thing, but then again you don’t want ads in that usecase either.

No it doesn’t, what’s your point?

I mean, I think that saying “straight people don’t need to take pride in their straightness” is equal to “gay people don’t need to take pride in their gayness”. Which is the goal - for being gay, queer, trans to be universally accepted everywhere. For the value of gay pride to be equal to the value of pride in the straightness - which is when being LGBTQ+ is so normalized in society, that there is no need to take pride in it. You don’t really get that by alienating someone. Like, imagine the gay tag was at such a high price - the blowback would be huge.

How is the request absurd? The straight title didn’t remove any other pride flag or titles didn’t it?

People care since Sony had multiple breaches resulting in passwords / accounts being available to the public. Some even used to buy a bunch of shit off the store and overdraw people’s credit cards.

Just because one thing is bad doesn’t mean you need to agree to something else that is also bad. And if Linux gaming was more popular, more people would push back on games like Apex or Destiny to include anticheats that work on it.

They have, but the details don’t matter. You can’t force people to do something, then backtrack when there’s people pushing back and then go back to business as if nothing happened. The broken trust is there already - so every game they add their thing to will remind people of Helldivers. There’s a reason this article has Helldivers as its thumbnail.

Ya

Because they introduced that shit to a successful game way after launch. So people got pissed because it was a bait and switch.
