  • The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games

    Jump

  • Reviewers rave about a game, I pick it up and play it, and they're raving about a new one before I've finished that last one.

    That's why i only wishlist games that i'm interested in. by the time i get around to them, there's usually a sale and/or price drop. Some games have been on my wishlist for years, while I'm working through my backlog, waiting for their price to drop even further.

  • ‘Danger to Democracy’: 500+ Top Scientists Urge EU Governments to Reject ‘Technically Infeasible’ Chat Control

  • If instead you would be paid for the making of the music regardless of how many copies of a digital file you sold by a better system that's not based on private property

    And how would that system decide how much you get paid and where would the money for that payment come from? How do you make sure a carefully crafted piece of music, that brings happiness to millions of people gets paid fairly compared to someone just putting together a song in 5 minutes by pressing random notes on the keyboard?

  • Far-right populists top polls in Germany, France and Britain for the first time

    Jump

  • Only an actual Left counter, with an actual Left program for transforming society can stop this.

    Unfortunately they can't, because that would financially hurt the millionaires and billionaires that own the media, so they'll do everything they can to discriminate any left party with actual chances to get some influence and make sure everyone thinks they are bad.

  • GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship

    Jump

  • Yes. Germany for example requires a proper age verification with id, but since stores don't want to implement that, they just block these games. At least GoG lets you buy them through a VPN. Steam is much more thorough and won't let you buy them if the account has German payment info or a German address linked to it. You can create a second account with vpn and buy the games on that account using gift cards, but you can't gift the games to your main account.

    What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts?

    Jump

  • the myth that all gays are ultra horny and promiscuous all the time.

    I don't think any reasonable person believes that, but i'm sure the amount of gay men who are horny, promiscuous and aren't flooded with offers is a lot higher than the amount of straight women who are horny, promiscuous and not flooded by offers.

  • A petition I don't think will do much.

    This isn't just any regular change.org petition, that can be ignored. It's an official partition based on EU rules, where EU parliament is forced by law to listen to the initiators and talk about the topic, when it passes.

  • Arrrrr! Welcome Aboard The Good Ship Matey 🏴‍☠️

    Jump

  • I think he's talking about all the other shows and movies on the platform, that he doesn't watch

  • Arrrrr! Welcome Aboard The Good Ship Matey 🏴‍☠️

    Jump

  • firstly, in the comic, none of the streaming service has the movie, so a site telling him this doesn't change that point.

    second, even if one streaming service has that movie, it might not be the one you are subscribed to. so instead of "just watch"ing, you have to make a new subscription on that service and pay for all their content although you just want one movie

    thirdly, often it's not a matter of whether or not someone wants to pay, but how much someone is willing to pay. This depends on many factors, which boil down to how much they want to watch the movie and how much they can afford. imo there are two acceptable ways to charge for entertainment: paying once for that particular piece and you get to enjoy it as often/long as you want forever, or you pay a monthly fee and get access to everything for as long as you pay. unfortunately, thanks to the fragmentation of streaming services, option b has become quite expensive and not a lot of people are not willing to spend that much, but they would be willing for a lower price.

  • That may be true, but that wasn't the point he tried to make. The problem is that netflix used to have everything at a good monthly price and once they dominated the market, enshittification and price hike started, plus all the other companies wanted in on the action, starting their own service.

    Now MS is trying to do the same to the PC gaming market.

  • What navigation app do you use?

    Jump

  • For motorcycle riding i use calimoto. It has an option to find the most curvy route to your destination. It also works offline, which is great when riding in remote areas with poor cell coverage or foreign countries with expensive roaming conditions.

    Also it can track your journey and show elevation, acceleration, speed and lean angle.

    Unfortunately it's subscription based now, but i was licky enough to buy it before that, so i basically got lifetime premium account.

    One more downside is the shitty search function. even with the exact address copy pasted it almost never finds the location.

  • Not out of the box, AFAIK, but there is a plugin. I never got it to work though, because you also need some up-to-date certification file.

  • Not sure if this is true, but i've been told, when you flush food down the drain or toilet, rats living in the sewer might come looking where that delicious meal came from.

  • 70% of games that require internet get destroyed

  • Also many young people are so used to games requiring online connection and being shut down, that they can't imagine a better way.

  • AfD is the most popular party in Germany for the first time, with a record 26%

    Jump

  • We don't know how good AFD would be at doing, what they claim. But none of the parties who have been in power over the last 20-30 years have done anything significant to improve the average workers economic status (e.g. make housing affordable, guarantee a reasonable pension, lessen the fear of unemployment, etc.). AFD claims, "if we get rid of the immigrants, everything will be better again" and people are believing it.
