In reality it means jack shit, it’s corporatespeak at its most vapid

Nobody should care what the tub of cancer tissue says about anything -please don’t help platform his bullshit

Reeeee!

Edit: this place really is cancer. Bootleg-ass redditor nest

enough frozen water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools

bruh

Extensible open world-y shooty thing, in the vein of Far Cry or GTA games. First class mod support so game content itself is a “mod” and nothing hardcoded. Individual, potentially really small bits of “logic”/behavior can be switched on/off/out, such as different driving physics/enemy AI modes/arcade shooter vs ballistic simulation. Behavior written in some kind of fairly accessible language. Multiplayer support.

In theory it should be (potentially) everything to everyone. That never works in practice, of course, but I think it would’ve been neat. The main goal is to take a lot of the pain in the ass out of modding so as to enable more of it, make things possible that are generally annoying/impractical in modding existing games with usually dogshit support etc

Except it’s completely true - rare for WSJ, I know, but not completely unheard of. The weird hype around really unnecessarily excessive water intake is “Facebook Grandma Nutrition”-level bullshit. Healthy people have a reliable, fine-tuned mechanism for figuring out when water is needed: it’s called being fucking thirsty

Apparently lenient enough ones that they’re gathering tax refugees. And I’m not even one to point fingers, we’re sloppy enough about this in Norway.

To a degree this really did happen in Norway. But, the whiny, parasitic, sanctimoniously hypocritical little shits that took their ball and fucked off to Switzerland (incidentally: thanks, Switzerland, both ironically and… not) were still only a tiny proportion of the income from that same specific kind of wealth tax. The media just put the usual level of disproportionate focus on it, because the most blatantly scummy of the filthy rich have it so bad, poor dudes.

Oh for fuck’s sake…

Ummm, ackchually, we’re not all girls.

More power to 'em though, obviously

If it did, the knee jerk reaction would be to find some other instance

With no horse in the race, I think it’s just a reaction to seeing your name everywhere. The fedv genuinely isn’t that used to activity and everyone is understandably suspicious in the Age of Slop. I’d like to say that maybe if you proved your humanity blah blah blah, but realistically that wouldn’t be anywhere near enough

It’s not just the US even. It’s been a trend for many years already, both aimed at gymbros with gymbro nutritional science (“more protein is betterer”) and also selling that idea on to the general public because of the gymbro association.

I think the dumbest fucking thing I saw was a bar of chocolate I bought that proudly advertised that it had “high protein crisps” in it, and it was like 2% in a slab of milk chocolate.

Can’t explain that

Sure? I think software eng is already supersaturated with ways of doing it wrong, so while we’re being completely idealistic the whole thing might as well not exist.

What, would it have been any more staggering if I said quintillion?

To a degree, yes, how do you build that list otherwise? Most “communities” are duds with no activity. And poor support for aggregating even identically named communities across instances means all of this is a real chore. And how do you even find the relevant ones anyway? I keep whining about discoverability on here but that’s just because it sucks

Unfortunately the fact that you need 400 billion fucking things blocked to make this place less annoying… means that it is annoying. Bot accounts and communities that already exist fifty thousand other fucking places with no activity are way too trivial to spin up

Can we maybe just fuck off with the slopcode in the first place, and people who insist can do without “protection” on “their” “very meaningful” “work”.

It should already not be permitted in any free software

Edit: lmao downvotes for being correct. Seethe

There’s never any exact lines. As with every term, especially in gaming, people will mean different things by it and may or may not implicitly assume people agree - except when arguing about it for ever and ever and ever. While nobody changes their mind at any point.

On something like Steam it’s a tag, which gives you limited information about the game. Not necessarily based on the literal reading, but what other stuff has/doesn’t have the same tag. And that’ll be inconsistent across storefronts, reviewers, individual players and all that stuff too.
