Regarding your confusion and surprise, the person you replied to merely gave their reason why they bought it and supported a transphobe, and it was because this person’s sister requested that game specifically.

I know the question posed was mostly rhetorical in nature. But I’m not sure why you are questioning why someone is answering the question, and I’m not sure what kind of satisfactory answer you could get from anyone who had purchased the game (and supported a transphobe, yes, which I haven’t).

The rest of your comment is a legit response, but I’m only pushing back on the first sentence of your reply. Or even moving that sentence to the back of your comment to make it less charged. If someone’s going to answer a loaded question, let them, but get to the point about how misguided they are with their justification before you question the answer. That would likely make for a more constructive discussion. Unless you think that these answers are unhelpful in the first place, that we’re better off not hearing why people have done transphobic things with different intentions, and we should refuse to give them space to reflect, learn, then own up to their transgressions if they don’t come right out of the gate to apologize. Then sure, ignore what I said.

If you want the source of any future “technical glitches”, it’s this wilfully negligent act. Courts, take note.

Glad you are here!

There are instances of heavy-handed mod and admin actions here, but they are often held to account, generally on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com. Moderation disputes often end up discussed from a third party perspective on !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.

It is an echo chamber here too, but I have seen more often that opinions against the “narrative” getting -10 or lower but not censored. Some double down, are flamebaiting or downvote farming for unknown reasons, but there are times when you can see a genuine attempt at understanding and discussion from both parties. Over 7 years on Reddit (2016-2023), I can count how many times that happened on one hand, while on Lemmy, it’s infrequent but it happens a lot more than that.

I think a lot of people are waiting for the first Civ7 expansion pack to be released, whenever that may be.

Civ 6 without R+F, GS feels like a completely different game. As an example, in vanilla you can expand anywhere right up to someone’s borders whereas with the expansion straying too far from your territory you could just lose it to influential pressure from neighbouring cities.

Any illegal and unethical stuff that goes on and gets found out is always a “glitch” too.

If you want to set up a “movies and stuff” server, if you have them as digital files (rather than on disks) then you can try setting up JellyFin as your media server on any Linux distribution of choice.

Try playing around with it on a machine and disk that you won’t mind screwing up and losing everything on. Not because you’re bad at it, it’s how you learn, everyone makes mistakes.

So don’t delay, act now, missiles are running out. Allow, if you’re still alive, six to eight years to arrive. And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow, but if the offer’s shunned, you might as well be locking on the sun.

It’s kinda nice in single player. (Rockstar EAC can you let us play MP on linux plz)

And a mix of available copies/qualities are better.

The main difference is that the Brazilian Supreme Court judges have a spine, while American SC judges have an RV.

Nothing’s illegal if you don’t get caught, LOL!

• Meta, probably

I’ve played it. It is fine. Graphically updated to L4D, some weird upgrade system, kinda forgettable story, less snappy movement and controls to L4D, but enjoyable in a party.

That feature to search a multitude of websites via Duck Duck Go was a gamechanger when I found out about it some years ago. I’ve not gone back since.

All hail Canada’s notice-and-notice-and-notice-and-notice-and-notice system of copyright enforcement!

Wondering the same… just last week i found out you cannot view your library in the web browser, only your transactions. Even after all this time.

They were not liked at first, but they’ve spent enough time making money while not pissing people off that they are doing far better than every public company who must find a reason to piss people off to be more profitable.

They’ve been able to use that time to “cook”. Valve time has been known to be within its own dimension, but from that we got Linux to be just click start and play for 90% of games like Windows, and with the Steamdeck a powerful, comfortable, DIY-able handheld PC gaming device.

It has to be something that is nearly fully outside your control but is affecting you, there are probably milder problems as examples but I think this apt.

In the metaphor, half of the answers are asking you to do a useless workaround, blame you and/or are irrelevant to solving the problem. Hence the leak, where the answers are telling you to try running your taps for 10 minutes, put a bucket under the leak, telling you that there is no leak and that’s actually a water fountain, etc.
