whether or not this was intentional or misinformed is up for debate

It’s not, in his response to the initial controversy he cut out the part of Ross’ video that directly contradicted his misrepresentation, he’s a lying piece of shit.

I’m sorry that’s just rad as hell, masculinity has nothing to do with it, that’s just great taste.

I don’t know if he genuinely didn’t understand or if he was too embarrassed to admit to a mistake

Worse, he actively lied. In his edited video about the petition he actively misrepresents the initiative, then goes on to edit out the the part of Ross’ video that would have contradicted his misrepresentation.

This is not an innocent or negligent mistake on Thor’s part, it’s an active attempt at burial.

Sure, but a lot of people are, and crucially nintendo is.

Also, I’m saying this cost them also on the returns side of things even before the lawsuit.

Yet more people just bought new ones, put the old ones in the box, and returned them for a refund while in the free return period, citing them as faulty.

I don’t own a switch but I know I would’ve done that at a large chain electronic shop rather than bother with the repair rigamarole.

Disclaimer: I only tangentially follow WWE

Firstly I think that if HHH gets comedy wrestling at all, he has a completely different sense of humour from VKM. I could not tell you a current WWE comedy act, and the man himself was such an edgy metalhead in his days that it makes me think he’s incapable of understanding how tryhard and poser-ish he came across, which makes me think he’s not great at getting irony.

Secondly, proof is in the pudding, this is not the “VKM fucks shit up, everyone else keep up or get fired” era, yet Truth got let go without warning and Hunter did nothing to stop it, despite him being over and basically a lifer.

We know he went to bat for and rehired people who were let go during the VKM days as soon as he was given the authority to do so, authority that only increased since.

That would imply they cared, and I think hhh doesn’t care for mr Truth.

Calling someone or something removed is actually against moderation policy on lemmy.world.

I know cause I was explicitly called on it by one of the admins when I first joined.

Ironically I think the word is a great description of the policy that bans it, but it is what it is, not my house not my rules.

Both Arkham Knight and Witcher 3 exist on steam so the comparison is possible either way

That’s also a non-solution, all it does is make scaling a company a huge mess, and contractorship basically mandatory for any kind of expansion.

I.e. I don’t hire anyone cause they would need to buy into the co-op, or they’d have their surplus value taken and thus be exploited, so instead everyone makes self-employed ““co-ops”” and hires eachother as contracting businesses.

It’s literally just capitalism with really stupid centralist extra steps.

Oh god you have no idea how many believe this in earnest (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

They are authoritarian and marxist leftists, they are not mutually exclusive, if anything they are more likely bedfellows than not, by necessity.

You can’t have a free economy without decentralised price controls (i.e. a market) and you can’t have a market without ownership, so you will eventually end up having a control economy if you remove private ownership from the equation, and control economies are fundamentally authoritarian.

The ultimate means of production is the person, and you don’t get to own it exclusively, even if it’s yourself.

Simple: they wouldn’t work that way.

Left anarchism, like everything left, only works on paper.

Here’s a few holes:

• Who decides who is and isn’t an expert? Jim Jones was considered an expert by the Jonestown people, RFK is considered one by maga.

• Assuming we find a way to establish an “expert” category of citizens, that’s already hierarchical. You now have a ruling class since these people get more of a say than the average person by virtue of their role, and don’t have a completely flat anarchist society anymore but instead a sort of representative technocracy.

• Moreover anarchist societies are supposed to not employ coercion, so even if you had experts whose opinion dictates norms, how are you going to enforce them?

Anarchists (left and right) reinvent the state, just shittier, less consistent, and without founding principles, every time they are put in front of the practical needs of a society where not everyone agrees with them.

Some go as far as inventing authoritarian oligarchies, just ones they happen to agree with and thus support.

I love that between then and now, “humans” still have not learned to properly pitch a product.

I stopped caring about the American dub as soon as they recast Chie for P4G anyway, what’s one more change at this point

Oh, that’s actually nice to hear, makes me re-evaluate gog somewhat.

I don’t use heroic much but it’s never too late to start.

Kinda, unfortunately.

It was great when it had its niche, and I still buy games there occasionally, but it has poorer integration with pretty much anything, Galaxy is bloated as hell, and it has explicitly no linux/deck support.

Eta: apparently GOG actively funds Heroic launcher, didn’t know that, thanks for pointing it out to me.

There is the horipad as an option, but I’m not sure if it’s available outside Japan yet.

I got one last time I was there and it’s pretty good, not perfect but it would fit the parameters you gave.

Correct! In general, if there is tech A that does a thing for a demographic, tech B can really only hope to pick up demographic !A

Lemmy suffers from the “alt-tech curse” in that since there is perfectly serviceable, normie friendly tech, for someone to come to the alternative you have to be not so normie.

Gab, Parler, Voat back in the day, Mastodon and Lemmy, bluesky, etc are all part of the same phenomenon of micro-exodi from established sites due to fitting poorly with existing moderation which, given the fact normies still use the sites, means we’re always looking at extremists of some kind.

Whether it’s the tankies on lemmy.ml, or the progs on bluesky, or the tradcons on parler and gab, it’s always some group being told “if you don’t like it here go make your own” and them doing it.

The problem is this makes these environments extremely off-putting to normies as every single motherfucker on each of these platforms has at least a Bachelor’s degree in scaring the hoes.

The reality is, if you want normie content, you’re gonna find it on platforms used by normies.

Lemmy is too niche to have karma farming bots reposting the same shit every hour, so cat videos etc are in short supply, and most of the people who do participate here have scary levels of politics brainrot.
