I’ve been heavily considering a career change. I’m in government, so on top of the DOGE bullshit, I can’t even look to the private sector for reprieve because tech layoffs have been insane for over 3 years.

This is really interesting, thanks for the info!

I thought this was hyperbole, but holy shit, David Geier is a horrible person. His dad was equally a piece of shit.

Further proof that the US is never going to fully recover from this insanity.

Agreed on all points. Just spending more than a few seconds watching gameplay footage would put a lot of initial misconceptions to rest. But yeah, while the game is great (in my opinion), it definitely still has a ways to go to fully come into its own and I really hope they secure more funding to see their vision to completion.

For what it’s worth, the second Ori game is miles better than the first one. I didn’t finish the first one because it started to feel tedious, whereas I couldn’t put the second one down. I’m not sure if it’s because it had better pacing or just a better design approach, but I really loved it.

Yep… ARPG gamers are literally among the worst, most unpleasable types of gamers. They will bitch about everything, because they all want a very specific type of game for them and them alone. Just look at every other isometric ARPG and their communities; 90% of the time, they’re filled with negative posts and comments, constantly upset about balance, end game, leveling, loot, etc etc.

I think NRFTW is fantastic, and it’s exactly what I was expecting it to be. However, people saw it at the same “style” as Diablo or Path of Exile and expected the game to be like those… except they’re not. And for those that do realize that, you have the other idiots that refuse to accept that it’s an EA game that still has a long roadmap until completion and bitch about the lack of an “endgame.”

This is the truth. Trump is their prophet. Why else does anyone think he posted a meme of himself as the Pope. They know they’ve created an unbreakable cult and there’s nothing that can be done to shatter the indoctrination his zealots are thoroughly infected with.

You’re putting words in my mouth, dude. I was calling out the irony of their hypocrisy. I didn’t say anything about not donating. But, whatever, you’re obviously arguing in bad faith, so I’m done here.

I feel that’s missing the forest for the trees in regards to what we’re discussing, though. Enforcing rules is one thing; actively enforcing the suppression of any dissent of opinion is censorship, full stop. It isn’t “curating” communities when you are aggressively enforcing all those communities stay in lockstep to your political views.

But yes, federation helps to mitigate the completeness of that censorship. However, the original devs of Lemmy itself created the .ml instance, so it’s kind of an ironic situation, which is why I bothered replying in the first place to the original comment.

Where the fuck did I dictate to people on where to spend money? Please, find my quote and repeat it.

The context here is me and the original commenter discussing the irony of someone slamming another website for censoring when their instance does the exact same thing.

Obviously I did? What is even the point of your comment and the insult of calling me a freeloader, when the vast majority of Lemmy users are literally freeloading on public instances? Unless you’re triggered by us correctly calling out .ml and its censoring bullshit?

Yeah, .ml is usually a giant circle jerk and often removes comments/posts that are critical of things like the CCP.

It’s actually been an increasingly common slang over the last year or so. Think the popularity of it picked up after they started sending troops to Ukraine.

While yes, he won the popular and electoral vote, he is still the one carrying out these idiotic and dangerous policies. No one wants a bloody revolution in the streets, the majority of people are just trying to survive.

Congress could easily deal with this dictator, but the GOP are fully complicit and have zero desire to do anything to stop him. We’ve all seen the numerous townhalls of GOP reps getting torn apart over this insanity, and yet they truly do not care.

I think many Americans are still kind of shell shocked by everything. Hell, I’m still in disbelief that he even won to begin with. My disgust towards those who voted yet again for this criminal makes me not even want to fight for them.

And here I was thinking I’d seen it all, god damnit.

Oh, of course hahah

Where tf do you work?
