I cannot use Reddit on my phpme since they blocked Slide. Lemmy is enough for me.

With AI art, it consumes others art and regurgitates AI art. Did the guy just become AI?

Feels like this may have been a logically driven response.

They have in Windows and Linux, just not MacOS. That is if you actually read what you posted. Or was that point not conducive to you looking for a stick to hit Mozilla with? (And there are plenty available)

I… like this joke and haven’t heard it before!

Is this allowed or do I have to shit on it to be cool?

I haven’t seen this one. Enjoyed it.

There is a relevant xkcd for this, but I’ll mark it as a lazy load.

A 4chaner has friends? Fake nerd copium.

No, they just don’t have the same principles as us. I love Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the same level of smaller active communities. There is more work for us to do.

Not OP, but Steam Deck.

I’m a big fan of Steam. They help me keep on Linux, but let’s not pretend there isn’t a profit motive. Gabe gets yachts, we get Linux Gaming. Win win right now.

I found Samsung’s struggled after 1.5 years. I’m 3 years in on Pixel 6a. Less bloat really seems to help.

What phone would you recommend privacy wise?

I’m quite impressed you’ve been running Windows 10 on a HDD. It was dog slow for me, especially starting up and how I started using Linux.

How about family support and running on Linux. There is a reason steam is ahead, and it’s not first mover advantage. It’s superior features. The first isn’t even a complicated feature but is important.

This is why you have requirements which are agreed upon and affect payment if not upheld. If you start being firmer, they might move quicker. 24 month lead team is bullshit.

Do they do testing? Is there no SLA on bug fixes and availability? That should be essential come renewal time.

So he’s capable enough to add new islands and content, but not change a trigger on how to save. One button. Same logic…

A buggy mod by someone who didn’t write it doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Many mods are of poor standard and don’t have access to the same code or the facilitate a way to change something, so they often have to work around whatever APIs are exposed.

It is a dark pattern. You can like a game and someone and still be able to be critical of a game design decision they make. Not everyone is good or bad. A hero or villain. No one is perfect.

I guess so, you just cannot quit midway through a day without losing progress or sleeping early and losing a day. There is a negative cost that forces to play to when the dev chooses rather than you.

Great game, great developer, but it is a dark pattern.

This one is a fair point.

Some games do create a need to depend on some. For example, in Old School Runescape, you make a decision in a quest and rely on someone who made a different decision. You cannot change it and you do depend on them. So they may feel obliged to reciprocate. The obligation is created due to a game design decision rather than because of an intrinsic decision of players.

Some games are set in such a way where you cannot of progress without assistance. New players can get locked out of progression. Maybe this could be relevent in those cases.

The years are on the first few, but not after? It would help with context to have years on each.

I’m curious. Which of those do you think aren’t a dark pattern?

Are they really not dark, or are they so common now that it has become accepted.

For example, I love Stardew Valley but the inability to pause, and instead complete the day is a dark pattern.

Gosh the LMG shills are nauseous.

“I’m not a fan, I just watch the occasional video but <insert excuses, growing pains etc.>”.

Proper fan girling, but at least fan girls have courage of conviction.

So the problem was the game, not the device…? The hardware was fine?
