  • Old Toys r Us was mostly just a warehouse vibe anyways. But it had a big box store level of toys to look over. It was the highlight of my childhood trips to the stores. They don't really need to pretend to be the old FAO Schwarz.

  • MMOs 'don't give people the tools to build community anymore,' says EverQuest 2 creative director

    Jump

  • People have been trending away from random online interactions for decades. With good reason. As populations increased the ability to police behavior plummeted. Negative interactions skyrocketed and now few people want to chance abuse with it being so common.

    It's also partly what you said: people want to get stuff done. I remember EverQuest 1 and Nexus. You couldn't do shit solo. People generally want to be able to actually play the game and accomplish something and they don't always have 30-60 min to look for a group before they can start playing.

    It's a very different market these days and people have a lot of things they can do with their time. Playing chat roulette to play a game doesn't cut it.

  • Nearly 6 months later, Palworld devs confirm Nintendo never drew so much as an inch of its legal sword over bootleg Pokémon allegations

  • Of course not. The plagiarism comparisons were overblown and no one can copyright the basic idea anyways.

    They are also just a fad and generally a boring game with a lot of faults. They aren't a threat.

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month

    Jump

  • Then it'd just be NK sending a bunch of soldiers who get to emigrate to Ukraine.

  • G7 nations are ignoring the "cow in the room"—beef and dairy emissions

    Jump

  • Right. For sheep/goats I was mostly talking about history.

    Chickens are definitely the preferred animal in a lot of the world both in subsistence and when countries raise meat.

  • G7 nations are ignoring the "cow in the room"—beef and dairy emissions

    Jump

  • Yeah, I saw that as well. It's very neat and I hope that 50% reduction is seen in all cattle breeds with just a small supplement of seaweed. If it's effective without strong side effects, I imagine we'll synthesize whatever chemical is inhibiting the methane production and it'll become a standard feed supplement.

    “This could help farmers sustainably produce the beef and dairy products we need to feed the world,” Roque added.

    Absolutely not the case for beef cattle. They are far too expensive to raise and feed to be a hunger concern. They take so much land and food compared to how many calories you get from the beef. Pretty much every other animal is easier to raise and feed. There's a reason pretty much no culture or religion bans consumption of goats or sheep; they are critical. Beef is a luxury food.

  • WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends

    Jump

  • The man embarrassed the US by leaking their DMs.

    When you do that to a nation about their classified intel, it's called espionage. It's a biiiit more serious than a social media hack.

    In practical terms, espionage can affect thousands of lives directly and change the course of a war. Imagined the shitshow if someone released that kind of info now. It could jeopardize the Ukraine conflict. It's treated as more serious than murder because it can be.

  • South Korean military says 350 waste balloons detected from North Korea overnight as tensions flare

    Jump

  • That's a great idea. Analyze the feces or garbage and then publish public reports about the deficiencies of NK life. That'd embarrass Kim enough they'd probably stop.

  • G7 nations are ignoring the "cow in the room"—beef and dairy emissions

    Jump

  • Chicken is already significantly cheaper. People still buy tons of beef.

  • G7 nations are ignoring the "cow in the room"—beef and dairy emissions

    Jump

  • Yeah. Because there's no good answer. Anything you do will be massively unpopular. Trying to get people to stop eating beef or dairy is going to be very difficult.

    Once lab grown meat is affordable maybe it'll help.

  • Steam users have spent $19 billion on games they have never played.

  • Corrected my first post. I don't just but deep sales. I only buy games at full price of marginal sales if I want to play them immediately.

    Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free

    Jump

  • Choosing to take money and work for Putin is quite a bit different than having a salary from a corporation. Equating the two is apologizing for dictators.

  • Steam users have spent $19 billion on games they have never played.

    Jump

  • I have stopped buying games that aren't on 90% off sales, and even then mostly stopped. I only buy a game that I want to play immediately. I have way too much to do and play and it's not worth building a backlog since I'll just forget it anyways.

    Long gone are the days of super sales where 75-95% off were common.

    Edit: clarification: I buy very cheap games for my backlog and buy games full price as long as I want to play them right now.

    Disingenuous way is saying pro forced birth, anti choice.

  • I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

    Jump

  • I checked at my local place: $1.75 per topping. Much more reasonable.
