4 comments in a minute and that’s just what we can see. There is no such thing as spamming fediverse for good or whatever your reasons are.

So, I wouldn’t take anyone at their word here. Reddit shadowbans people for ban evasion or vote manipulation usually. Reddit doesn’t have to play favourites when for people involved it might just be the first time breaking Reddit ToS and now they’re surprised that there’s some moderation there at all given how lenient Reddit is on some things.

I can see plenty of people on the anti-Trump side advocate violence and destruction of property which while a noble goal is just stupid to do on a corporate platform that is legally liable for this. You could have done this ages ago and be on your 5th account when ban evasion filter catches you.

The other thing is that when you think you’re saving the world coordinating upvote/downvotes seems innocent enough but Reddit is pretty good at catching that and 50501 are likely amateurs in the world of manipulating Reddit. Far right has been at this way longer and got pretty good at skirting the rules and avoiding traps, hence this might appear that Reddit allows them to do anything.

It’s very counterproductive to do this. As said, Russian propaganda is clever and doesn’t need to invent new issues, just finds ones that resonate with people. If we start going around saying something people want is wrong because there’s some connection to Russia and leave the issue unresolved, people will start voting for the only alternative they have - pro-Russia parties.

This is good for bitcoin.

There are valid arguments against Euro adoption. It might make sense for core/old member states but for everyone else fiscal union without a common budget is just a recipe for disaster like Greece getting strong-armed by Germany into ruinous austerity. So maybe let’s discuss that rather than accusing certain positions being pro-Russia because Russia has a tendency to sow unrest abroad using actual existing issues.

Gamer seems to be a weird term because most don’t consider someone playing Candy Crush a gamer. Kids playing Nintendo games are a bit of a different breed too if we go by that measure. There’s also loads of older folk that grew with some sort of Nintendo system or started to appreciate what they’re doing later on of course. Among my group of older millennials in a country with very little Nintendo presence it seems like Switch is something you buy for your children primarily.

Will start posting Wine news because some people think Proton was wished into existence by Valve ;)

Please support CodeWeavers who have been funding this for many many years.

While Chrono Trigger and FFVI are among my all time favourites, they’re kind of like an prog rock superbands. They’re a pinnacle of the era, impossible to top in their own categories. But if you know where to look there are probably some guys doing stuff as impressive, if not more, out of their garages. Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes come to mind.

To paraphrase an old meme, vampires don’t hate crucifix explicitly, they’re just allergic to bs.

No, he won’t, this is unproductive copium. It requires unanimous decision of other member states. If it didn’t happen by now it won’t happen anytime soon.

That’s kind of unfair assessment for Microsoft. There’s been more well rated games than HiFi Rush (even if closing Tango is a travesty). We should be applauding that they no longer lock their games to a single platform (despite fanboys crying over it). GP pricing increased but it’s still great value for the money and the best deal around. Their main franchises get new entries consistently and there’s been new IP too in the meantime (Indiana Jones is a joy). I think they ran out of publishers that wanted to participate in backwards compatibility program but I’d be surprised if ActiBlizz catalogue won’t join it sooner or later.

Honestly, what are the titles that Sony released in the past 5 years that aren’t sequels or remakes? I’m super confused how Sony is getting away with this.

As to Valve. Why is Microsoft stopping physical sales bad but it’s ok when Valve does it? Valve killed physical sales for the entire platform.Once they got a monopoly sales with deep discounts ended. Can you really trust Valve with backwards compatibility and long term support over Microsoft? One has a history of abandoning stuff when they no longer find it profitable, the other is probably best in class still. When I moved from PS4 to XSX it was because I could sell my physical copies, something not possible on PC. End goal for Valve seems to be Android for games where they exert power over some Linux based platform with their app store - that’s no good for any of us. And that’s without addressing elephant in the room that Valve is no different if not worse than EA when it comes to gambling.

I don’t have favourites and use what I think is best for me at a given time. I’m deeply confused with what other gamers are choosing for themselves.

Nintendo gets plenty criticism and rightly so and what we traditionally consider to be gamers opt to use other systems. The thing about Nintendo is that their main customer base aren’t gamers but kids. For now I wouldn’t look too much into sales figures of Switch 2, it’s mostly a measure of huge stock available at launch.
