I remember a developer complaining that getting updates approved in GOG takes significantly more time than on Steam, so GOG is partially at fault, too. Wish I could find the source on that

I bet part of that is to avoid paying out the ai slop shit channels that they have enabled and welcomed, it’s probably trivial for most of them to pump so much slop that they can reach those numbers in a month.

Either that, or they’re looking to fully kick out actual humans from trying to join unless they’re really determined to wade through the bullshit.

So, just shitty barley tea being advertised by ai slop

Hey, don’t insult anon’s inceligence! I bet he also has a finely a finely curated selection of k-on anime figures and essays on why wimminz should submit to men like him, which they would totally understand and fawn over him if they had galaxy brains like he has!

!brandnewsentence or however to link a community

I’d check if there were any cameras nearby, hopefully there weren’t, because I didn’t see anyone

'murican mind can only understand things in cars and burgers

Now that you mention it, I wish there was a musou-like (Hack and slash that mindless horde) or EDF-like game (BLOW THE WHOLE FUCKING CITY TO SAVE IT!!!) where the enemies are nazis.

I think the first one actually had a topless cheat code

Working for psychotic assholes bent on destroying the world for profit tends to make people sad, whodathunk?

On a less sarcastic note, this happens to people who can see past the bullshit of the modern world, of this stupid culture that tells us that we should be defined by our jobs, that we should feel bad for being improductive, that we should kill ourselves for our fucking jobs.

It doesn’t even need to be full conscience of how insane the whole circus is, just enough to be self aware that “this ain’t right”

The brain is lazy.

As a rule of thumb, the brain is better at storing information that is more attached to strong emotions, or anything that you repeat often.

When a traumatic event happens, the brain will try to attach it to one, maybe two things that are easy to spot and remember (say, a man in a black hoodie wearing flip flops), so that when those specific triggers happen to be around again (black hoodie, flip flop walking sound), there is enough information for the rest of the body to react as soon as possible.

This has a lot to do with survival. Think like a caveman. You hear a growl, you turn back and see a tiger or jaguar, readying a pounce. If you survive, the next time you hear a similar enough growl, you won’t even need to look back, it’ll be enough to trigger your fight-or-flight response and get you moving earlier. You don’t need to remember what kind of predator it was, only that it was dangerous.

If your complaint is “this business won’t give me their services for free”, then that’s not a real complaint.

No, my complaint is that they were doing all they could to force me to pay up, possibly because I’ve been a free user for too long. Yes, I get they’re a company intent on making money, but they already severely limit free users to 50 likes a day while dropping ads between profiles.

Since I’ve used them a couple of times between 2015-2018, I did see firsthand how it enshittified

Those thieves are like the diablo

Increased productivity from better tooling has never equated to less working time. Increased productivity from better tooling always results in more working time, because now you can “produce more”. The only exception is farm stuff for small producers. The big land owners can now use more land thanks to better tools.

How do you get less work from zero work? Does it underflow and rolls back to maximum work?

It was.

My gf was one that initially didn’t understand that dynamic and nearly lost our match, she had to be told by a friend (that recommended her use the app in the first place) that she had to send the first message. Dunno how much could be the app’s fault, it does state during profile creation that women make the first move, but it probably didn’t put any other reminders afterwards.

Other dates I went out with also had similar stories of not paying attention to that message.

I used to back in 2004-6, as my PC was too weak to run GTA Vice City. The vast majority of those cafes (Lan houses, as they were called) disappeared here in Brazil.

And if that’s not enough, here’s more denuvo on older games that didn’t have it either!

That’s why you need to convince, not show proof :)
