You ever have issues with sites not accepting your email? I tried to claim some free games on epic, made an account with my email provider (not Gmail), but I would keep getting errors saying some shit like please enter a real address or something. I don’t have issues with every site but it’s a pain when it doesn’t work.
I figured it’d be something similar to that, interesting!
Fujoshi (腐女子) is the Japanese word for what you’re mentioning, which I’m sure is not what they’re using China. I can offer no further insight than that.
Lmao well I don’t know what you want. If you want your PC to be secure, don’t use the Internet. You can’t expect every piece of software you come across to be perfectly vetted. In an ideal world sure everything would be foss and peer reviewed but that sure as hell ain’t the world we live in.
Almost 14 thousand games released this year on steam. You could say malware is 100x more likely than the 4 publicly known instances you mention and that’s still not even 3% of games released. Steam is responsible but I don’t know how you expect them to get that down 0% besides manually reviewing game code line by line, which would probably destroy the platform. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good
This one has really surprised me. I’m not sure when this became so widespread, I guess because of tiktok? I feel like almost every channel I watch the advertiser unfriendly words are censored or are substituted with unalived or something. Pretty unfortunate.
Seriously, people saying that about pepe here reminds me of conservatives saying video games are the problem. It’s like come on, I don’t think the 19 year old woman streaming stardew valley on twitch to 12 people and posting okayge in chat even knows what a 4chan is lol
I have no doubt it’s incredibly easy to dox someone from upvotes alone. Maybe not on lemmy because interactions are just a lot more infrequent, but on reddit if you upvote posts about Omaha Nebraska, retro game collecting, Subaru wrx, and e bikes, you really narrow down your choice of people. If you just had one other bit of information about the user, like just a general photo or where they went to high school you could definitely nail someone down.
I really do hate this part of the Lemmyverse and wish it was all obfuscated. That with it being impossible to delete your posts really limits how much I want to interact with the site.
Really hope they move the clans to the base game. I never buy games at launch but if I’m interested enough will at the first sale. This one will heavily rely on reviews though lol
Sometimes you can get deals even on launch pricing. I remember buying fallout 4 on green man gaming at launch for $10 off.
Interesting. Where I work we have field techs as well but I guess it’s a little different. Everyone’s issued their own truck, the truck just lives at the office. So you’d drive to the office, pick up your truck, and then start earning windshield time. In any case, I do wonder what it’d look like for like a retail worker or something.
I mean if I was a miner and instead of working in the mines I could just drive for 8 hours that sounds a little more doable. In any case, what if I just get a job somewhere and then move? As much as people on lemmy hate driving I’m sure there’s someone out there who likes it.
In theory that sounds good but I don’t really get how it’d work. I mean what if you just lived four hours away so your commute there and back was just your eight hours? That’s obviously ridiculous so what’s the cut off? Like an hour? How does that affect breaks and lunch if you do live an hour away so you’re only working six hours? Or is it just like a premium pay, like you earn 10% of your salary on your way in?
I wonder if any company actually does this.
Are you talking about an automatic curated suggestion list like how steam does? I don’t think there’s really anything like that. The site does have a community created lists section where people can create categories and add games to them while explaining their thoughts on it a little bit, like this.
I’ve used it for a while. It’s good enough but you can tell it’s still early days for the site. It’ll sync your achievements and playtime with steam and gog so that’s cool but then it’ll lag a bit maneuvering around the site and remind you that the products not fully done. They also offer a premium subscription where you can get early access to features and other promotions but I haven’t ever really felt the need to get that. Honestly my biggest hangup is that they’re just newer; if the site dies then I’m concerned with all of my tracking just going poof one day since I write little journal entries for them to remind me how I felt about certain games. Overall it’s fine, but maybe check out some others first.
I have YouTube music and… It’s pretty awful. Ytmusic will sync your liked YouTube videos with your liked music playlist. So I’ll shuffle my playlist and get this or like a 10 minute music video where half of it is just people talking.
They’ll just continue their focus on large western/Asian markets, it’s not like they need every country to be successful. They’ve been conditioned to just buy whatever AAA is put out
This is qanon levels of reaching, you look for a pattern you’re gonna find it
If only I didn’t wear analog watches, Google
