  • Schools won't be allowed to teach children that they can change their gender ID, reports say

    Jump

  • Personally I think we should be giving kids a lot more support in not transitioning. And by transitioning, I mean transitioning from a girl to a woman or from a boy to a man. If the child isn't 100% certain they want to go through with massive irreversible hormonal changes, they shouldn't. I don't care whether those hormones come from a pill or from a gonad. They can make an informed decision whether to continue with puberty when they're 16-18

  • Trans people know they should be the other gender and that puberty causes massive permanent changes to their body they are horrified by. They often do not know that everyone else around them’s deepest fantasy isn’t to wake up one day as the other sex.

    Can confirm. As a kid, I saw a lot of jokes about how horrible puberty is. I thought everyone felt the same way as me, since they all acted like it.

  • Poland to scrutinize digital game platforms like Steam and PSN on suspicion of anti-competitive practices

    Jump

  • According to the game sales industry, providing a useful service is anticompetitive behaviour, because you might steal customers from the platforms that are screwing everyone.

  • I'll leave your steaks alone if you leave the cows alone. I'm sure we can all get along without any sort of violence, harsh words, or forcing our preferences onto others.

  • It’s not all doom and gloom when it comes to the climate

    Jump

  • That's completely not true. Yes, dismantling capitalism is the most important thing we can do to reduce the impact. But you're using some really strong words there. If I ride my bike to work instead of taking a car for one day, that'll reduce the CO2 emitted by about a kilogram. That one kilogram might reduce the severity of some hurricane enough to save a life. And yeah, it probably won't. But what about a year of riding my bike? What about a lifetime? What about installing solar panels at my house? What about not taking a flight? What about eating a vegan diet? Put all that together, I can probably save a couple lives in my lifetime compared to if I just consoomed. And yeah, in between all that, I'm on the streets volunteering for anarchist orgs and building systems to dismantle capitalism.

    But the way I see it, fighting capitalism is like trying to win the lottery. It probably won't work in my lifetime. It almost certainly won't stop the climate crisis in its tracks right now. Making these changes in my own life makes me a healthier person with more money and a lighter conscience, and it's guaranteed lives saved. So I'm gonna do both. I'm not gonna bet on achieving communism and only then going through the degrowth that's inevitable anyway. I'm going to degrow my own life right now, so at the very least I'm ready when the communist revolution is complete and it's time to ban cars, and if communism doesn't happen before I die, I can still say with certainty, "I was part of the solution".

  • 'Helldivers 2' Community Manager Spitz Fired

    Jump

  • I disagree. The bad reviews and refunds produced, effectively, a single bad week for the company, while getting the publisher to backtrack on a decision that would have slowly but surely killed both the game and the company. Spitz saved Arrowhead. Unfortunately, instead of capitalising on the cooperation between developers and players to win back their reputations and make the game profitable again, Arrowhead decided to throw away Spitz' hard work by firing him, ruining their reputation just after he saved it for them. Now they're fucked.

    The way I see it, their only chance to return to profitability is for them to explain that Spitz was fired for his earlier comments mocking players for complaining about PSN. If they did that, the players would return to Arrowhead's side. But if the narrative that he was fired for sticking with the players and saving the company prevails, then Arrowhead is doomed.

  • Helldivers 2 receives influx of positive reviews after PSN backtrack

    Jump

  • Spitz conveniently ignoring that they told people there's nothing wrong with the PSN connectivity and that the players are all a bunch of big whiners. They may have done a heel face turn, but they still have to deal with the consequences of their actions as a heel.

  • Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries

  • You can play Helldivers on a mobile data connection. And besides, Steam is there.

    Also lmao most of Australia, by landmass, is only phones or no internet at all. But PSN is in Australia.

  • Mate, Stephen Hawking was one of the smartest people on the planet, and I bet he preferred turn based over starcraft. Motor skills are not the same as strategic intelligence. Starcraft is a game with a solved meta, which prioritises motor skill over strategy. It's basically football as far as the intellectual difficulty goes.

    And I say this as someone whose favourite strategy game is starcraft. Not because I think it's a well designed game, but because the Zerg are sexy and I want to fuck a hydralisk.

  • They can steal your data if you're logged into a PSN account, and down the line the plan (which they don't want to admit) is to get PC players paying for a multiplayer subscription like on console.

  • The red circle is helpful for me because Stack Overflow's UI is garbage. I always read the post, and then read the thing under the post, which is a bunch of nerds nitpicking over TLAs instead of an actual answer. Every time I open that site I forget that the answers are underneath the neckbeards, because it's so unintuitive.

  • Remedy on Alan Wake 2 on steam, "That is also speculation at the moment Alan Wake 2 is available at the Epic Games Store and we hope PC gamers will find it there."

  • Well then Epic can make an actual profit on the game when they decide to put it on Steam.
