    am I part of the joke here??? It’s clearly blue and black…

    The objective fact is…it is a blue and black dress. Other photos of the same dress show that.

    But I cannot, for the life of me, see how anyone can possibly get that from this photo. Sample the RGB values all you want and it clearly is not black in this photo. The exposure and white balance have messed around with it so much it is incomprehensible to me how anyone can see it as blue and black.







  • If they call to ‘Ask what they can do to keep you’ or ‘Find out how they can do better’ just hang up. They have no decency, and nothing they say should sway you to give your money to companies that treat you like garbage

    Don’t hang up, tell them. Tell them “I’m switching because you jacked up prices beyond what’s reasonable.” If they offer to lower prices, say “no, it’s too late. I don’t want to be with a company that takes advantage of loyal customers in the first place.”









  • Anyone that is against heavy funding in public transport, tax on land/ reallocation for more density and education isn’t a capitalist they are just a cunt.

    Especially true since there’s a lot more potential for capitalism in trains than there is in roads—the latter of which is probably the biggest socialised cost in America.






  • Besides, if subgenre fans tend to stick to that subgenre and don’t bother too much with other things in the overall strategy genre, there is probably a good reason to keep them separate

    RTS fans certainly do tend to stick to RTS. In fact, RTS itself has a number of distinct subgenres and many people stick to just one. Star Craft players don’t often enjoy city builders like Northgard; Age of Empires players don’t often switch to Company of Heroes.

    I actually think it’s wrong to talk about “strategy games” as a genre. Maybe more of a supergenre, with genres like RTS, TBS, 4X, and MOBA sitting under that supergenre, and potentially having their own subgenres.

    For my own experience, I’ve recently started posting to [email protected] since lemm.ee is going away, and I’m migrating [email protected] to there. My interest is mostly only in games from the Age of Empires franchise, with the occasional glance at other parts of RTS.
