The games removed from Steam were removed globally. They didn't remove all adult content games (yet?) though, just ones related to certain topics like incest.

Looks like mobile shovelware with a Pokemon skin. TPC has shockingly low quality standards for the biggest franchise on earth.

I'd suggest Guild Wars 2. It's an MMO that can be played quite casually and doesn't require massive time investment or grinding. It has a fun gameplay loop that encourages free exploration. Collaboration with other players arises freely from gameplay.

Around 20km from the town I was born in. Never lived there though, so it's not really my home but definitely part of my home region. I do currently live in the village and house I grew up in, which I would consider as home.

How inheritance works depends on the country. In my country (Germany), there is a mandatory portion of your wealth that each child will get as inheritance, no matter what the will says. Fully disinheriting your own children is only possible under some very narrow circumstances, such as the child being convicted with a felony serving more than a year of prison time.

Somehow didn't expect them to pick such a young actor for Link, even though it does correspond to Link's age in many of the games.

I'm really curious to see more of this movie. I think Zelda is a really difficult series to adapt well.

The problem with that is that all of these platforms also use the same big payment providers, meaning they're just as likely to be forced to remove these sorts of games.

I guess for inheritance reasons, it would make sense to correct my birth certificate to my biological parents. In that sense, I would feel happy, because I'd have a massive inheritance coming my way at some point. Other than that though, it wouldn't make any difference to me, I'd still feel like the parents I grew up with were the "real" ones.

They'd never do that, as it would severely limit their userbase. Throwing out a couple games, especially when it's ultra-niche stuff like "futanari incest" games, is the much easier and more sensible move for Valve.

“Someone asking for donations” maintains their dignity and communicates the point clearly…

It really doesn't though, in my opinion. If you talk about "someone asking for donations", I'd think of a volunteer collecting money for the local animal shelter. So if you actually wanted to communicate clearly, you'd have to go for something like "a person, typically a homeless one, who lives by asking for money or food". That's literally just the Oxford definition for "beggar" though. If you put that in the title of this question, it probably wouldn't even fit.

Like, I’m 6’4", if someone that’s 6’6" walked up and said “Hey shorty, what’s up”. I won’t give a single fuck. If I was a 5’2" man, I might be offended, and if I said a 5’2 man had to be ok with it because I was, I’d be a jackass.

Firstly, I don't think that "shorty" is a good comparison, as that's an unambiguous (if mild) insult.

Secondly, it's not like anyone here is talking to any particular person calling them a beggar. If someone who was talking to me just called me "the German" instead of my name, yes, that might be a bit reductive and potentially rude. But if someone goes on Lemmy to ask "Why do Germans drive so fast on the Autobahn?", that's an entirely different thing. In that context it's simply a word that clearly conveys a meaning without having to use an entire sentence to explain it.

So something like "begging person" or "beggarly person"? I guess I can see where you're coming from. I've never heard people talking like that though, so it might not be as universal to western society as you think.

Personally, if you called me a German, a furry or a vegetarian, I wouldn't mind, even though none of these attributes encompass my entire existence. I guess the difference is that being a beggar carries a negative connotation, but I'm not sure that saying the same thing using slightly different phrasing really makes any appreciable difference.

Die Noch-Linkenpolitikerin Sahra Wagenknecht hat sich entschieden, eine eigene Partei zu gründen. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen will sie am Montag damit an die Öffentlichkeit gehen.

 

Hi everyone! I've noticed for a while now that I can't reply to comments made by kbin accounts using my account here. Not even talking about kbin threads, but for example if I reply to any kbin-made comment over on feddit.de, once I click submit it just keeps spinning without ever posting the reply. I often see users from other lemmy instances replying to them though, so it doesn't seem like a general lemmy problem. Does everyone else here have this problem as well?
