This makes me realize that I can’t think of hardly any videogames with a black character at the forefront.

Sure, there are black playable characters in MOBAs and MMOs, but how many story-driven games have black characters at the forefront?

The most recent one I can think of is Alan Wake 2. And Spider-Man Miles Morales. But there really are so few compared to those with white main characters. Which is sad.

The movie is about a fortress made out of little people because the producers don’t play video games. They just heard that kids these days are into Dwarf Fortress.

“We shall truly be the Dwarf Fortress.”

Don’t forget in the middle of the night, being woken up by your cat hacking something up onto your only rug… right next to your hardwood floor.

“Suh Yuh”

As I’ve heard it, it’s much less of a problem when you’re looking at it straight on and out of bright sunlight. I think it was Honor that released a foldable last year that nearly eliminated it. So they’re close to minimizing it as much as they can

That’s a rare combination to have all in one person.

It’s also way too much to ask of someone. It’s not fair of you to expect that someone forgoes their own emotional health to take care of yours. A relationship is a transaction, like it or not. There’s push and pull, each person needs to get something positive out of it and if you’re spending so much time telling your partner they’re a bad person, they’re going to leave. Nobody deserves that.

That’s not to say you don’t deserve love, because you do. But it sounds like there’s a lot of work ahead for you to manage your mental health and get to a place where you can trust someone in the way they should be trusted in a loving relationship.

Both of these things would seem like obvious things almost anybody could provide, but when I’m crying constantly or trauma is getting triggered multiple times a day, even the best people walk out, or snap.

This behavior is extremely exhausting for someone to manage. Your partner has their own problems to deal with too. Between work, school, children, planning meals, managing the house, vacations, holidays, healthcare, and many more things, there’s so much work to be done in life. You need to be a productive part of the relationship. Share in the burdens of life to help make them easier on someone, as they do for you, instead of being another chore to deal with.

My suggestion is to continue spending a lot of time working on yourself. Learn to trust again, learn to love yourself, understand the needs of others, and understand the part you play in a relationship. Nobody is obligated to love you, but (almost) everyone is deserving of love (I say almost because there are insanely cruel people in this world).

Lastly, ALL OF WHAT I SAID APPLIES TO YOU TOO FROM SOMEONE ELSE. Anything you need from someone is something that someone should be able to provide to you, and vice-versa. Don’t expect anything from anyone that you wouldn’t do yourself, just as they shouldn’t do the same. Find someone who wants to take care of you, the same way that you will take care of them.

They joke, but it would likely work. Become a defense contractor and the US government will let you do anything

They’ve sold 117 million PS4s and 59 million PS5s.

They take a 30% cut on each game sold on the PlayStation store. That’s $18 for every $60 game sold.

If every one of those people bought just one game per year, Sony brings in $3,006,000,000 every year. Even if only half of gamers buy one game per year, that’s still an insane amount of money.

Corporate greed on full display. And don’t tell me it’s because of game development costs. Because:

The next game, which is a fan-favourite is Uncharted 4. This game needed $40 million to be completed, and after its release, it made around $1 billion.

And the best of them all, Marvel Spider-Man. This game cost $100 million to be developed, and when it was released, it made a whopping $6.8 billion.

https://www.futuregamereleases.com/2022/09/lets-talk-games-how-much-did-it-cost-to-make-vs-how-much-it-made/

Sony-funded games are wildly profitable.

Anything over a $500 million in asset value taxed at 100%.

Far above what anyone should own. And yet, you’ll get middle-class people defending the people with those riches, that they deserve to keep their billion dollars.

Or yes, sail the high seas

This guy’s first problem is watching movies on his cable provider’s on-demand service. On-demand has been crap since its inception.

And then:

We are now at the point in the history of show business where a bad experience is free and a decent one costs extra.

This is literally how it’s always been. And this the crux of this dude’s issues. He’s not willing to pay for content and is using freeware and crapware to watch movies. You can’t complain about a bad service if you’re not paying for it.

He wants the solution? Ditch cable, buy movies and TV shows or pay for streaming services without ads. It’s really that simple.

The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.

You don’t really with physical these days either, at least not with video games. Lots of games require online services to play then and become bricked when the servers are shut down.

And then most of the time, a disk doesn’t even have the game on it. It’s essentially just a download license for you to download the actual game digitally. It’s all an ownership scam.

Feels like The Onion is on their game today, between this and the Trump $399 furry tail.

It really warms my heart to see unions coming back strong.

They’re the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.

I see that rogue Google Play Music icon there. Makes me sad they killed it.

What’s the last game Ubisoft came out with that had any real success in the public gaming consciousness?

The Fractured But Whole?

They just don’t make great games.

They’re both so overrated.

Chopin, Liszt, and Debussy are where it’s at.
