Playing the world’s smallest violin in lieu of the admin listing of my least favorite lemmy instance. I probably didn’t have anything to do with it, but lying smearing dipshits have a way of garnering hostility towards themselves. Party time!

  • … By doubling down on Steam being a subscription service by actually telling you it was, or how Steam admitted it would basically not allow accounts to be passed through inheritance and there is only one service that says they will try, that being GOG? We literally have to fight to have libraries of old games when the generations before had no problem having libraries of their old entertainment to access, communally so even.

    The article really is disingenuous. All there is that is seriously doing this is a EU petition, one that will be dead on arrival because most of the affected games sell themselves as subscription services and because shit in the EU gets done when lobbyists usually aren’t homogeneous across country lines, and for this they are. A slap warning or two, that’s about all this will accomplish.

    If people moved their game collections over to GOG from Steam, and were clear that this was the reason they were doing it, that would accomplish a lot more. It’s not going to happen, just look where governments are sliding towards, it isn’t towards consumer rights and society as a whole.






  • This really isn’t that bad, it’s an opportunity to be creative as well. They can replace the balls with anything, say, talismans that they have to stick on the creatures. When summoning them back, they could be reading off of these talismans. It would ironically have more of a Japanese vibe than Pokemon. Other alternatives: for summoning, just replace the balls with curled up miniature versions of the creatures that just expand into size and the capture device can be an artifact that shrinks them and turns them into stone statues you can place in your base. It could go full on occult into summoning circles. They could make it customizable into anything the player chooses as a jab at Nintendo at how worthless their patent is.













  • AMillionNamestoMeanwhileOnGradMost instances are still federated. Really?

    My bet is on troll factory workers slinging ideas around to see what and who sticks, and then they continue to sling ideas with their growing group. That was what the early days strategy of The_Donald on reddit were.

    It doesn’t matter that lemmy is relatively unimportant, what matters to them is having a testbed for what is and isn’t sticking along with growing a crowd of supporters they might be able to take elsewhere where it matters.
