Nice! Yeah I don’t mind a modest difficulty increase but some of the romhacks really don’t play well without super optimized teams of competitive mons

That baguette sniffing picture has meme potential

So the guy that spent half a year taking away lifesaving aid from starving people now says money is no big deal? Then why spend so much time cutting welfare programs?

That’s not even starting on the fact that current AI and robots are nowhere near the full automation level for the vast majority of necessary work.

What’s the rom hack? Gen 4 is one of the few Pokemon gens I haven’t played and I’ve wanted to do it with a Rom hack that fixes some of the old issues with it

The implication of the stereotype is that it’s making fun of the guys who are doing it not because they like it but because they’re trying to pick up women. Of course, when the idea gets reduced to a meme like this it becomes more focused on the specific actions someone does as opposed to any actual intent

Damn, love the GBC style graphics with modern Pokemon and QOL features

Thanks, I’ve only really seen the more common Touhou characters

Funny to think that meme is already 4 years old, eventually it’ll be older than the consoles it was referencing when it was made

Can’t say I know what show it’s from, I just saved the meme because I also find it relatable

The robot is the only one who won’t divorce him

I’m not saying there aren’t subtle ones that get through, I’m just saying that there’s nothing in the report distinguishing between the obvious shill and a well disguised advert. Granted, if an advert is disguised well enough, it’s hard to track in a study like this, but there are plenty that aren’t obvious until you start poking around posting history or metadata

The 2020 study published in Computers in Human Behavior analyzed the top 100 subreddits — the most influential communities on the entire platform. Their finding? 15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls specifically designed to promote companies or organizations.

“15% of all subreddits contained corporate bot content” is very different than “15% of all content”

This also doesn’t really give a whole picture. How much of this content actually trends? There’s always some corporate sludge at 0 points if you sort by New, which is how the site is supposed to work. And even some stuff that gets brute forced through is “Hey fellow kids” level obvious and gets trolled or removed by mods.

And while Reddit right now is a soulless husk, all of these things need to be studied on Lemmy as well. Right now there’s probably not much because we’re just not a big target, but as it grows it’s certain that corporate shills and propaganda farms will start to target us. Like I’m not opposed to the general idea of the research, but it really needs to be more specific and in-depth to be helpful

If you do a Scryfall search the URL will match the parameters of the search. So you can just copy and share the link.

Scryfall will update Standard/Penny Dreadful rotation and price as it changes, so the list will always be current.

He has previously suggested that Greta Thunberg could be the Antichrist, but her name is not thought to have come up at the talks so far.

So the billionaire building autonomous weapons and spying technology used for genocide who also injects the blood of young men to rejuvenate himself is here to warn us about the dangers of young climate activist trying to deliver food to starving Palestinians?

It’s sad that we’re at a point where people will actually listen to him and think he is anything other than a terrible person

Weird that there’s an unannounced UB for March but the Hobbit and Star Trek later in the year have already been announced.

Yeah, I think an in-person convention is always valuable, there’s a lot of side table chats you can’t get anywhere else. But if downsizing keeps them around without losing their core purpose, I figure it’s worth it

“When I founded it, there was no way for game developers to share their ideas; I created it to permit that idea-sharing that is so important. Nowadays, there are lots of ways for people to share. There are plenty of social forums for discussing just about every aspect of game design. We have interactive video for pulling people from all over the world together.”

While we certainly have a lot more options now, I’m not sure any of them compare to the technical depth and expertise you see in GDC talks. There’s far more actual experience and proven real world results compared to the average game dev forum or channel.

Though escalating costs (and the dangerous US situation) certainly means the current organizers should consider paring the conference down or perhaps moving it online. The point of it is to provide a platform for devs to share knowledge with each other, everything else can be cut out

Technically the anime is still ongoing, but it’s changed to focus on Rush Duels, which is essentially an entirely different game with its own cards and rules that shares a few commonalities with the OCG/TCG. The last anime to feature the original game was Vrains which ended in 2019.

Konami Animation is pretty new, they probably don’t have the resources to make a full show yet

You forgot, step 5: Profit

As part of Take-Two’s annual financial report for the year ended March 31, 2025, the company said it was still projecting about 5 percent growth revenue and net bookings (consumer spending on digital goods)
