God are we really doing this again? Accessibility in games is very good and "easy" modes are fine. This kind of passive-aggressive hand-wringing comes off as incredibly gatekeepy, mean-spirited and bad faith.
Fredrik Knudsen's video on EVE is really fascinating stuff, though more focused on in-universe events. I don't recall him even bringing this up in the vid which seems like a huge miss, I just recall various claims of admins giving benefits to certain users unchecked for a while. Also tracks with the monetization changes the devs made that universally pissed off their whole playerbase, unironic lolbertarians are wild 
I'll give you that, baseball is dull and slow 90% of the time. It's slightly better since they added pitch timers to the MLB but other sports are much more exciting
People who shit on sports fans have never tried seriously watching a sports game. Go to an NBA game in person and tell me with a straight face that it sucks and is boring
The tag was regarding the treats discourse, not to imply you're a nihilist, my bad
it's clearly part of capital's strategy to overwhelm people with content and stimuli to distract them with endless treats that prey on FOMO and the working class' general desire to escape from bourgeois hell. Not to mention how well that works on the middle-class suburban nihilists (@UlyssesT@hexbear.net)
Can anyone find a link to the thread in /c/games around Oct 17 2023 about 3x3 grid style personal fav games of all time? I can't find it nor my grid I posted there and I wanna refresh my memory and also update it
Only good thing about League is ARAM, summoners rift is legalized torture
Incredible stuff, how can you read this and even remotely believe it instead of pissing yourself laughing? "in bad country, criticism from the head of state towards the former head of state forces people to off themselves" gimme a fuckin break dude. On top of that the broken citation is a random BBC Radio report from 2009 
Skibidi toilet makes more sense than 95% of SFMs from back in the day. Like there's an ongoing storyline and everything. People who hate on it but watched other sfm/ytp nonsense back in the day just have boomer ass mindsets
Hard agree on the soundtrack, imo the SotS music is probably Chris' best work on the franchise so far and he brought in a couple collaborators who elevate it further. I Should Build the Man a Statue is a highlight, esp once the the riff starts popping off around 2:16
There are third party tools that let you do that, not officially supported though. So yeah you can revert the game to its previous fully functional state at least. Just a shame it doesn't work properly out of the box atm ya know? It's a hassle
No link because the nazi cowards deleted their posts lmao 
I figure I'll vote PSL again like I did last time since they seem to be among the most principled leftist parties we have in this hellscape. I've seen a lot of support for Jill Stein but iirc she has some very weird reactionary conspiracy-brained views. How we feeling? Is 
running this time around?
edit: to be clear I assume most of the based parties will not be on the ballot in most states, I've written in my picks before and I'll do it again KKKopmala

Everyone knows how rabidly reactionary and shitheaded the SW fandom became after the Disney acquisition but I'm finally at my breaking point with this latest wave of chud whining. The Acolyte got review bombed before it even aired because the showrunner is a lesbian and the leading actress is a gay enby. Also a clip of Stenberg from like 6 years ago made the rounds where she says the goal of a completely different project she was working on was to make white men cry and chuds who get all their news from youtubers thought she was talking about the Acolyte.
Fast forward to the show's release, the chuds continue to whine about woke Star Wars despite the show's first several episodes being pretty bland and mid in every regard. To disguise their actual reasons for hating the show (diverse cast and queer showrunner) they pull out the absolute most ridiculous reasons to bash it, including but not limited to:
"The writing is awful and the story sucks!" (the dialogue is genuinely quite bad at times but no worse than 95% of star wars projects. The general story is a mystery-thriller that's compelling enough. Also these same people turn around and say the prequels are incredible so 
)
"The show contracts and ruins the prequels!" alright time to put on my nerd cap because the media literacy of these fucking shitbags is nonexistent. "Dark side user" =/= Sith, Red-lightsaber-user =/= Sith, there are tons of darkside users in the galaxy but the Sith area very specific order that the jedi warred with for thousands of years before they were almost completely wiped out. Also half the point of the prequels was to show the Jedi are blinded by their hubris and waning connection to the force, the Sith were right under their nose the entire time and they were just too arrogant to see it, silly Darth Teeth man doesn't ruin shit in your dog ass shit fuck childrens movies.
"The show RETCONS CANON in an UNACCEPTABLE WAY" this is because a prequel side character's DOB was retconned and he's a lot older now and appears in the show. These worthless fucks are sending death threats to Wookiepedia editors who change the character's DOB and screaming that it's vile yes that's right it's VILE to change a fictional background character's birthday. Just take a look at the replies on that post, yes I know it's the bird hellsite filled with ragebait but the responses like "oh well I thought that GATEKEEPING was a BAD THING 
" are just so bleak. Art and media mean nothing to these people, their hobby is not watching Star Wars, its watching ragebait youtubers and getting violently angry about mundane things in shows they've never watched and aren't interested in 
Also these screaming manbabies keep referencing non-canon books and shit as "proof" of the show retconning things
The discourse around TLJ was bad but I think I'm finally done engaging with the SW fandom in any way shape or form. My brain has finally been broken by the chuds. I don't think I'll even tell people I like SW anymore because these shitbrains have just ruined it. And yes I know I need to 
but if you don't spend a decent amount of time in these SW fandom circles I promise you don't know how bad it actually is

Their Pokedex entry numbers spell out 1, 3, 1, 2 
If they wanna ban tiktok okay sure fine, let's ban all corporate social media platforms. At least tiktok isn't in bed with the NSA 
Also I gotta say, I know a disturbing number of people (ie. americans) who genuinely think the CPC is deeply invested in their personal data or what they do or believe. Like do these fuckers not realize the US govt can fuck up your shit infinitely more than the Chinese govt ever could?
We've seen an uptick in people posting dunks in here that belong in dunk_tank, as well as low-hanging fruit that gets removed from or isn't allowed in dunk_tank anymore. For context, rule 8 of dunk_tank:
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
There's a reason that dunks are cordoned off to their own comm, some users rightfully don't want to see reactionary nonsense all the time, even if we're making fun of the person who said it. /c/cth is a general-purpose comm but it's NOT for posting some random nobody asshole twitter user's bad takes, the absolute best course of action to take when you see that stuff out in the wild is to either directly shit on them yourself, or ignore them and don't give them more attention.
From this point on I'm going to be more stringent about moderating this. I get it, it's fun to dunk on the libs and the blue checks and the 
and that's why we have a whole dedicated comm for that. Any post that's obviously meant to be "hey look at this piece of shit, let's laugh at how bad their opinions are, upbears to the left and emojis in chat" belongs in the_dunk_tank. And any super low-hanging fruit doesn't belong on this site, period (see TDT rule 8 above). We have better things to do with our time than give unearned attention, time and energy to low-follower-count nobodies yelling into the void.
Thanks for your discretion comrades, stay sicko 
edit: as others have pointed out, /c/shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml is a good place for any and all dunking content not allowed here. Post that ragebait to our comrades at the 'grad, they'll make good use of it. Also, per rule 9 of TFT dunking on fediverse users is still explicitly allowed so it's still open season on those in our own backyard.
"doing its best to avoid civilian causalities, even though there will be casualties" 
"allow Hamas to continue running Gaza" 
Incredible consent manufacturing by Harvard Harris, even with that batshit wording 43% of young people still said fuck that lmao

Two predictions:
This will cost upwards of $300mil to make
It will make $1bil+ because Minecraft is the best selling game of all time by far and every single child even remotely aware of it will want to go see it
