Holy shit. Of all things, fucking Strava?

Who the hell is logging their excercise data while out at a FOB? Who of those is posting it fucking publicly?

Hahaha, don’t underestimate jank ass vendor systems. My workplace has at least one business critical thing using SOAP. We’ve been spinning our wheels on deprecating the damn thing for three years.

For most people, through professional help. You aren’t SOL, and you could get there yourself, but it will be far easier with assistance from medical and psychological professionals that are trained to help guide you in ways that aren’t just you struggling on your own or beating yourself up internally.

I’ve skimmed your other posts and you need more than well meaning strangers on the internet will be able to give you. You may also want to look into potential legal action against the institution you say you were stuck in, as none of what you described sounds like standard practice of care for the autism misdiagnosis you said put you in there.

In the comment I initially responded to, you made a specific point of calling out

I just write off the forums for any game that features a black or female main character, let alone LGBT representation.

As if it was only shit in those cases. There’s no need to call that out specifically if you’re trying to make the point that they’re all shit on Steam (which we’re in agreement on).

Usually a statement like that implies the inverse, in this case that you don’t write off the discussion forums for games that don’t fit that criteria. Hence my confusion and my call out that the Steam discussion forums have always been shit.

I agree that it’s for the reason you called out here, that Steam just relies on the devs to moderate their own discussion forums. At the very least, they should default to not creating them unless the dev specifically opts in.

The whole OK symbol thing was literally a false flag by 4chan to clown on the news media’s fervor at the time to label things as racist dog whistles, specifically the whole Pepe shit that was going on.

The fucking thread that started it was (paraphrasing): “Hey guys, do you think the news media would be stupid enough to believe the OK hand sign is a white power dog whistle? [Image of WP poorly traced over the OK hand symbol]”

Obviously, if you get your kicks out of pretending to be a fool, you shouldn’t be surprised when you find yourself in the presence of actual fools. That also very much applies to the type of edgelords on 4chan that thought it would be funny to “pretend to be” racists, or at least to have discovered a racist hate symbol. Eventually enough people will take it seriously that the original “joke” (if you can even call it that) will be lost.

So… you seriously look at the steam forums as good place for discussion otherwise?

They’ve almost always been shit, besides the occasional troubleshooting thread.

Oh neat! I seem to remember some of the blob monster tech being found a long time ago, I think it was datamined from another Valve game or something.

Nice to see it officially aknowledged and some real footage.

BlueSky is decentralized. It is more decentralized than this platform.

Could you please elaborate on this, or point me to where I could read up more on this? It’s the first time I’ve seen this claim and would like to know more.

I’ve seen someone suggest wildmagic wands for a one shot.

Just because something can swim doesn’t make it a fish.

Again. They rebranded for these remasters already, lol.

There’s a decent amount of evidence that they weren’t given the time they needed by Rockstar, that they intentionally shipped it out with a shit ton of behind the scenes files in an attempt to assist modders (at the very least it was shoved out the door so fast they didn’t have time to clean the files out of the release directory, holy shit), and members of the studio have repeatedly and consistently reported that they were not permitted by Rockstar to release many bug fixes after the remasters released.

Rockstar holds the biggest blame for this one.

ADL and some other groups got absolutely clowned on a number of years ago when they declared pepe a racist hate symbol, and instead of backing down they just keep trying to quietly push it again.

You can pretty safely ignore them.

Watch Dogs

Fun, but sometimes the difficulty seems to be all over the place, particularly with running from pursuit. Sometimes you can lose them in a minute or two, other times the game keeps spawning in new cars in front of you with no way to dodge them without the ones behind you catching up.

Yep, and in the statement they’re referring to, it explicitly suggests that their users should set up PGP.

Some additional context:

It was made by 4chan users over a decade ago, when that sort of thing was accepted there as “edgy humor”. Make of it what you will. I think there’s been some growing up, since they don’t offer/support those domains now.

Context is important.

My guy, I’m a grown ass adult that does sysadmin work for a living in a full Windows/Microsoft environment. Just stop. You’re wrong about how Windows works.

Your meme is simply not how Windows works, unless you intentionally choose to disable the security feature of UAC while leaving Windows Defender on. At that point you’ve accepted the risk that you could do something to break your shit.

You turned off warnings for all the shit you say Windows sleeps through, but left Windows Defender on which keeps the exe warnings. The only way to get Windows to work the way in this meme is if you configure it in this non-standard way.

Your willingness to poke around with computers will serve you well, especially in the modern age as people are less willing to do that, but don’t assume you know everything just because you know more than the people around you day to day.

If you’re a sucker for side content, there’s a ton of short stories and novellas (even a musical) that the fans have translated: I just got Ending E | The Ark Wiki

Kept the setting alive for just a little longer, and added some more context to the world and characters. Massive spoilers for anyone who hasn’t beat Automata though.

So once again we have someone who doesn’t actually use (modern) Windows making false statements about how it functions, upvoted to the moon because Microsoft bad. They are, but this is embarassing.

Never change lemmy.
