Drag spoke to thing and bot said bot explained the problem badly. The ad wasn’t covering the season indicator, it was above the season indicator. Those are both “on top”.

Bot ignored the season indicator because bot was too autistic to tell the season indicator wasn’t part of the ad. Drag feels embarrassed and misled. Bot saw this post and didn’t explain the misunderstanding until drag asked about your comment, so drag is very confused.

Drag doesn’t know. Drag was baffled by this story too. Bot said the ad was new. Drag will ask thing to explain

There’s no such thing as politically unbiased AI. Apolitical AI was always a pie in the sky.

If Aldi only sells apples and Walmart only sells pears, that’s not a free market. That’s two monopolies. Drag doesn’t get a choice who to buy apples OR pears from.

If Aldi starts selling pears too, that’s not a monopoly. That’s customer choice. Drag can choose to shop at Aldi because of their lower prices and better customer service. Drag can vote with drag’s wallet. If Walmart has a deal with the pear farmer not to sell pears to Aldi, that IS a monopoly.

Drag doesn’t want to give any money to Epic. Put the game on GOG, put it on Itch, hell, put it on Origin! That would be great for consumers! A monopoly isn’t.

If they want to be guaranteed to be able to operate, they should join the communist movement. Monopolistic capitalist business practices aren’t the way to go. If we’re having a capitalist market, it had better be a free market, which is to say one with sufficient consumer protections so that customers can make free choices about who to give their money to for a certain product.

If a company makes bad games, they should go out of business and their developers should work for better companies.

Remedy doesn’t need to worry about that, because they make good games.

Oh, so only indie games should be exclusives, then. Not games like Control 2.

You’re saying studios like EA don’t pay their programmers unless people buy the game?

Heroic can claim free games on Epic without having to use their slow app?

EDIT: You can! It’s so much faster! Drag had an easier time downloading Heroic and setting it up than just claiming a game on Epic.

It’s great that Halo Wars doesn’t feature the Chief. Halo shouldn’t the The Master Chief Franchise. It’s so much bigger.

If they wanted a game with Sun Wukong in it to win at the game awards, they should have nominated Warframe for Best Continuing Game

Then there should also be a version of the post on Mastodon, and this post should be a screenshot of that one.

Why is he still using Twitter? Does he want a bunch of Nazis replying to him?

Thanks

What does the “First Reich” refer to?

Thanks. A lot of people lived through the “singular they” controversy, where conjugation was a big issue, yet they never fully understood the conclusion that conjugation in English depends on the pronoun, not on the inflection. Latin has different rules, of course, but we’re not speaking Latin. A lot of people are still upset about that fact after all these centuries. They’re usually the kind of people who think the Romans were the good guys, and the Goths who spoke a precursor to English were evil. Fun fact: Adolf Hitler hated Gothic script. He called it “Jewish letters”. It’s funny how Germany changed sides over the whole issue. One minute Germany is sacking Rome, and the next they’re the home of the Holy Roman Empire. The whole “Third Reich” thing was an attempt at claiming a lineage descended from Rome. And of course England and the US spent a long time establishing themselves as the inheritors of Rome too. That’s probably why there’s so many old people who want English to be Latin.

Drag uses person-independent pronouns, which are conjugated and inflected the same way in all grammatical persons. When drag uses drag’s pronouns, they’re first person. And to answer your question, drag has a pet dragon. We’re engaged to be married. It’s @[email protected]

Drag picked up Helldivers recently, which uses a KLA. Drag’s had no problems with it. But drag’s dragon also downloaded it, and it completely borked its computer. The voltage regulator chip for the CPU failed, and its computer started crashing on completely different games, even after uninstalling Helldivers.

Monkey canonically kicks all the gods’ asses, but then loses to Buddha, who is not a god. That’s because instead of using force, Buddha preys on Monkey’s ego by giving him an unwinnable bet. And THEN Buddha drops a mountain on him.

Drag plays video games with drag’s partner. Right now @[email protected] is playing through Deathloop. We only have one copy, so unfortunately drag can’t invade its game and kick it off a cliff as Julianna, but it’s still fun to watch it play through the early stages. On its first loop after unlocking infusion, it got the Strelak Verso AND the Sepulchra Breteira! Only cooler thing would have been getting the Heritage Gun.

Anyway drag can’t imagine having a partner who isn’t into games. Luckily, everyone drag has ever fallen in love with enjoyed a variety of entertainment media. Probably because boring people are too busy watching broadcast TV all day to hang out in the cool places.

What if gaming time is 4 hours, you spend 3/4 of gaming time playing games, and you watch gaming videos for one hour outside gaming time?

Are you also glad when one grocery store has apples but no pears and the other one has pears but no apples?

The twist is that >! Halo is a doomsday machine !<

In Morrowind you can throw knives, darts, and shuriken at passive NPCs and creatures to trigger combat.

Relates to a player character throwing an item at a character in the field, which triggers combat.

Minecraft lets you throw snowballs at monsters.

Relating to being able to ride creatures in the open world.

Time for every game with horses ever to be sued by Nintendo.

No, that’s not it. Drag’s dragon has been to drag’s house and signed into steam on drag’s PC, but we weren’t able to get family sharing working.

Yes, it affects more cis people, but at a lower percentage.

If you understand drag’s point that transphobia isn’t about intent, then why are you trying to persuade drag of your opinion by assigning intent?

How?

None of that is a requirement. They could have just left the old system in. This was a choice.

Yes. Steam’s lack of focus testing for the new family sharing is what shows their insensitivity to trans issues.

No, Epic is less transphobic because they said protect trans kids and Steam didn’t.

Drag doesn’t. https://lemmy.nz/post/14911291

can you not call everything that inconveniences you as a trans person transphobic?

No. Drag is sick to death of being so far away from drag’s family. Drag is sick of a society that won’t accept drag, and only being able to find partners through discord. Cishet people have it so easy, it’s not fair. And along comes Steam, “A family is a group that lives in the same home”. No! Get your heteronormative nuclear family bullshit out of drag’s video games. Drag plays games to get away from patriarchal politics, and Steam goes shoving them into their new features and deprecating the old. They should have focus tested this change. Anyone in a long distance relationship could have told them this was a bad move. This move comes from Valve employees being brainwashed by society into seeing a family as what the white patriarchy says a family is. Drag has spent drag’s entire life, as a gay person, being excluded from the white concept of family. We barely even have equal marriage rights. This is a symbolic issue of a lifelong struggle.

Drag isn’t familiar with this, please explain

You’re so lucky you get to live in the same country as your spouse

Probably less so

Drag still prefers Steam over Epic, because of Epic’s horrible record of monopolistic and anticompetitive business practices. However, drag doesn’t have to choose, because you know who does let family share games for free? Fitgirl.

No it doesn’t. It’s called systemic bigotry. You see it in critical race theory. The system is set up to disadvantage minorities, such that innocent decisions go on to harm minorities too.

Now that Donald Trump is the next president, you’ll see a LOT of trans people fleeing the US who leave family behind. Steam used to offer trans people fleeing persecution the ability to share games with their family at home. It’s a horrible coincidence in timing that Steam deprecates this feature on the same day many trans people realise they have to flee the country or die.
