I like to listen to the Muckrake podcast for analysis of recent events.

“My ad preferences” are no ads

I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.

That’s all, folks!

They were paid in cocoa beans… 😖

Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.

Note takers, I guess…

Well, then it can run DOOM. I’m sold.

Less-corporate, creator-owned networks like Nebula and Dropout might be a potential route to a more sustainable and less centralized online video ecosystem.

I’ve been using directly negative adjectives like “bad” or “unsatisfying.”

I’m sure all the innocent civilians (including many inarguably-innocent children) that we vaporized appreciated the message 🙄👍 And the firebombing being more destructive isn’t a valid excuse, it’s just an additional (and analogous) atrocity. Two wrongs don’t make a right! Are you seriously arguing that the fact that we don’t discuss the firebombings as much makes it OK to have dropped nuclear ordinance on entire cities?

I obviously agree that Imperial Japan and its military was responsible for unknowable amounts of harm, but there must have been some way to show off the capabilities of nukes from the tests to the world and at least give them a chance to surrender before going to this extreme step.

This is a pretty bitter and antisocial meme. God forbid that people enjoy a normal social life and live in a community where they have the opportunity to encounter people they care about and connect with them. Do you really prefer an impersonal and anonymous public life?

It’s still true that a deflationary economy would be a mess though. If we had deflation, the rich wouldn’t even bother investing and would literally just sit on a pile of gold like Smaug. I know trickle-down doesn’t work but an economy where nothing circulates would be hellish.

Isn’t this just World of Warcraft? It’s practically a co-op ARPG at this point.

Miserable game design for something that is trying to get players to come back every few months for content releases. “You can’t play the new hero until you grind for it until you burn out or pay” is just not a compelling pitch to get people to resume playing your game.

It’s only going to get worse over time as the proportion of premium characters grows… 😐

• The Bioshock series supports a spellcasting-based play style with a decent skill tree.
• CONTROL also involves a lot of eldritch force powers in its combat sequences
• I know you didn’t really want sidescrollers or top-downs but Noita and Magicka are pretty great at delivering on the creativity of mage combat and scratch this itch for me.

This YouTube creator has published several quality videos what’s going on in Wizard Games lately, which is a quick way to catch up on the genre: https://youtu.be/quPKQIVEX5A

Yep! It’s free real estate.

Absolutely a good idea to focus on Lemmy’s gains. A viable competitor is up and running now, so Reddit will have to compete or perish.

And now that there is enough to infinite-scroll, that’s enough to satisfy any one user. Of course, it’s true that having more content will allow for a larger number of high quality posts and the ability to serve more niche communities, but at least there is a viable alternative for that Reddit itch now. It’s so much easier to uninstall Reddit apps than it was a month ago.
