Governments can place qualifiers based on hostile behaviours but then still selectively enforce said restrictions on the platforms they want to target.

Such as with tiktok they specially worded the laws so that it only affected tiktok and not the others.

Nobody buys a game because they made a cool new and innovative mechanic.

They buy it because it’s a good game and the mechanic helps that.

If your game sucks and no one buys it despite the new mechanic, perhaps other more talented developers should be able to use that mechanic.in their games to improve the industry.

It would be funny if tiktok just put out a transfer request to everyone’s accounts and then make a new company called toktik and all content gets transferred with any account that opts in. Then the government has to go through the whole process to shut down toktik again.

Credible burn probably

Wonder how far you can take insulting CEOs

World of Warcraft

Love the world and history and characters. Gameplay is now pretty shit.

I started piracy, but I also watched less pirated content because 2024 seemed pretty fucking dull with content. Too much reality TV bullshit made it’s way to the streaming platforms.

My main go to is city builders and I couldn’t get past like 20 hours in manor lords before giving up. I just couldn’t get into it.

I mean, when you have a few thousand two-bit internet media sites surviving off advertisement spam and hiring any freelance writer that can put together three paragraphs for $5 that’s what our media becomes.

My top 9 games sorted by playtime, with almost 1000hrs for Valheim and about 300 for dwarf fortress.

This is why I don’t share my steam tag with anyone.

I hate people being able to analyze my habits.

I almost want to believe this guy saw how similar he was to the photos and how famous the shooter was getting and decided to take the fall by wandering around in public with some incriminating circumstantial evidence until someone reported him so he could take the credit.

I mean, I don’t have a problem with people advocating violence against evil people.

But being happy or laughing does seem pretty tactless and frankly gross.

Death and violence may be necessary in many instances but it should never be glorified or celebrated, simply accepted.

It’s called back bacon, 🥓 is still just bacon.

Nothing will change unless it becomes a recurring and common thing.

How many people can actually pull off a successful assassination of a wealthy person? Not many, especially now that security is going to go up.

Nothing will change, but at least that one guy got some revenge.

Can USBC be used for audio if headphones start using a USBC plug?

Also damaging to businesses… I already knew about the butter recall and then saw this. My brain automatically filled in ‘peanut butter’ when reading because of the photo, and my first thought was damn, Costco fucked up again? Maybe they are going downhill in quality. Until I read the comments to realize I should reread that.

Personally I prefer a mixture of both. Touch screen for anything you don’t need to operate while driving and physical for everything else.

Android Auto navigation, car system/audio settings, clock and system management, etc should all be a touch screen so you aren’t navigating through turning knobs and pressing up and down buttons to go through various menus like your programming a microwave.

Knobs and dials and buttons for anything to do with audio volume, skip/reverse tracks, etc. and air conditioning.

Even if it were an exact clone I don’t think a single company should have a monopoly on the idea for almost 30 years. Pokemon red was released in 1996, 28 years ago. Why should they still be able to be the only company that releases pokemon-type games?

Is it only through the skin? I could see it being useful for some sort of implanted medical device/monitoring system.

That way you have something subcutaneous but the power source is strapped to the outside of your body so you can remove for short periods of time to wash/recharge it.
