I don’t think they can comprehend what an average person is.

Good for you

How much is that as a percentage of the average monthly income, would you say?

Really? Even in the little tutorial one with the miller?

Sounds like an invitation to set up a new power company - I’m not sure how expensive electricity is in India but solar farms in rural areas are generally a good thing.

Just do it. People are so numbed to the idea of their data being sold that you’re probably not going to get much money out of it.

My condolences.

Papers, please.

Funko partners with every Youtuber and semi-public figure under the sun to make figurines of them so they can then sell them to their (usually underage) audiences. That’s the comparison I was making.

They’re like the action figure version of Roblox.

SteamDB says Rimworld, but I’m almost certain it’s actually Fallout: NV, as the Nexus launcher at one point bypassed Steam and so those hours aren’t represented. I have about 1100 hours in Rimworld, but probably closer to 3000 in Fallouts 3 and NV.

Lol I somehow completely forgot about Guild Wars 2. Pretty sure my age in that game is over 2 years of active playtime.

Honestly, being willing to jump to a new platform is possibly the most effective way to stop platforms from fucking you over too hard.

And most importantly - there isn’t millions of dollars spent to market it to people. You have to go out of your way to learn about Mastodon or federation in general, and as you say, their reputations precede them.

The Amazon reviews thing I assume is referring to Fakespot, which Mozilla bought some time ago.

But I’m confused about their “AI’ed it up” comment because from the very beginning Fakespot was using ML to determine the tone of reviews and whether or not they were lying about the product/paid reviews by the seller.

We’re playing with a wireless keyboard, we had a bad time playing the first game with controller. I really wish they had a “sticky drag”, where you could click on a box to pick it up and then click again to drop it into a slot.

The wife and I are on the penultimate chapter of Rise of the Golden Idol, which has been an excellent sequel to the first.

On my own, I finished up Plague Tale: Innocence, which was… okay. The stealth elements were alright and the puzzles were somewhat enjoyable, but it dragged a little bit and I was a little annoyed with the combat (the final boss was pretty good). I also 100%'d World of Horror, which took me absolutely forever.

You really haven’t thought this through. What happens if I email you a bunch of illegal pictures? Guess we’re both going to jail.

I understand how advertising works, I’m saying that I would like to choose for myself instead of having name recognition forced into my brain cells.

Given that in most places in the US you’re required to have auto and home insurance, somehow I think people would find them. Knowing that some NFL player stans for Progressive doesn’t give me any information on the quality of the company.

So either you really dont get how things work, or you’re kind of racist/xenophobic.

It’s both. It’s always both. People are afraid and angry and hungry, and that brings fascism like flies to shit. I really don’t want to believe that people were always this hateful, and that it’s mostly because times are tough for everyone. Doesn’t help that you have Fox News and their cronies whipping everyone into a frenzy about every little thing.

Oh well. Now we’ll see them put their plan into action and hope that they somehow self-implode before they do too much damage.
