Mentioning Valve when I Iiterally only mentioned Linux and MS is whataboutism.

You do get your games through Steam, don’t you? It’s a fairly safe assumption given that you stated you play on Linux. Valve monopoly there is even stronger than on Windows.

Gaming spaces are full of pointless negativity these days so my „whataboutism” was meant to showcase that much of it is rooted in tribalism, serves no other purpose than to feel good about yourself and it can cut both ways.

That there is the main reason I left reddit. Go find some windmills to fight.

There’s plenty of gaming communities in the Fediverse to pick from, you won’t find me in other ones.

It would be whataboutism if I changed subjects but I’m pointing out both companies are quite similar when it comes to distributing proprietary software, openwashing and relying vendor lock-in.

What you’re calling Proton is mostly Wine which was developed by countless people unaffiliated with Valve and funded primarily by Codeweavers over past couple of decades.

There’s no lesser evil here, Valve is out there to make money by any means necessary, including marketing online gambling to children. Which is also why feature like this will never be implemented in Steam - they have a monopoly so why would they make it easier for others.

Is Valve spyware okay tho?

When did I say it was feature complete on consoles? If you go to eShop it’s just a preorder, nobody is misleading anybody.

This is meant to communicate change because water wasn’t as wet as you’d imagine.

They were not selling Hades II early access on consoles, period, you’re getting angry over your own misinterpretation of post title.

I adjusted the title slightly because there are no guillotines involved despite what I was lead to believe.

I’m fairly sure you haven’t seen the warning on console store because this game isn’t sold as an early access title on consoles.

I’m not a fan of early access in general but this is one of the cases where it’s done right IMO so let me add some context and corrections:

Supergiant isn’t that big so outsourcing a bit of testing to community isn’t that egregious. Larian did this kind of early access for Baldur’s Gate 3 for similar reasons and with similar results. Studios of this size are in an awkward spot where they don’t have AAA publisher money so they rely on their hard earned reputation.

There was no early access on consoles, it’s strictly Steam/EGS thing even though Sony and Microsoft have similar programs („game preview” etc). Nintendo doesn’t allow early access kind of content on their platform but that’s a moot point.

Supergiant is very upfront about this not being complete game because they don’t want latter parts to be spoiled. They use early access to fine tune gameplay mechanics and based on first game they’re very good at utilising this feedback. When I was younger and had more time I enjoyed participating in beta tests because those games were not figured out yet and could be broken in amusing ways. My guess this combined with Hades being a roguelite makes people okay with giving them money for EA.

Yeah, people gravitate towards drugs to self-medicate various traumas [1]. It is common for trauma to cause bad eating habits. [2]

I’ve been mostly a daily smoker for a couple of years and still get munchies btw.

People who abuse substances are more likely to be fat, news at 11.

„Breaks community rules” is likely coming from Voyager users because the app presents it as a predefined option for report reason. People likely assume that it’s some kind of an integrated reporting flow. This issue was raised recently in Voyager community: https://lemmy.world/post/35221872

If you’re a publisher only then RSS/Atom makes much more sense, especially if you want to retain ownership and control over content you created. If control is not important to you and you want to incorporate social aspect into your website (comments, reactions) then ActivityPub seems like a convenient way to go about it.

One thing that I strongly disagree with author of the blog post is the discoverability aspect. Yes, initial federation kind of sucks but at the same time your readers on Mastodon will be able to boost it and increase your reach.

Even a proportional tit-for-tat is very long overdue but I very much doubt anything will come out of this because nobody wants to take ownership for hard decisions and Russia knows this too.

Prawda, choć nie tylko o autyzm/neuroróżnorodność biega, lecz ogólnie o uznanie różnorodności geno- i fenotypowej – i neurologicznej, kognitywnej, behawioralnej, i prosto fizjologicznej.

Do tego właśnie piję, ale z trochę innej strony. Wspólne cechy fizjologiczne ASD/ADHD są w moim doświadczeniu kryminalnie ignorowane przez lekarzy i naukowców. Wszyscy operują w swoich niszach i nikt nie ma holistycznego obrazu przez co nawet uznanie tych rzeczy za fakt naukowy niewiele zmienia.

Sam jestem po formalnej diagnozie ASD, a lampka zapaliła mi się dopiero po ciężkich problemach mięśniowo-szkieletowych. Kiedy poczytałem o tym z jakimi problemami zdrowotnymi wiąże się ASD i ogólnie luźne stawy (które wyglądają na bardzo skorelowane z neuroróżnorodnością) nie sposób było nie być wściekłym, bo część rzeczy można było przynajmniej opóźnić.

Młodszym osobom w rodzinie dałem znać czego się wywiedziałem - jedna była już po diagnozie ASD, ale dostała od swojego rodzinnego jeszcze łatkę EDS (plus skierowanie do genetyka, bo może być paskudniejszy wariant). Ja po swoich przygodach się poddałem, bo za swojego życia prędzej doczekam się klasyfikacji jako element niepożądany niż tego, że statystyczny lekarz będzie operować na czym innym niż neurozwykłe stereotypy.

Jeszcze jedna dziedzina nauki odkrywa swój sposób na rozpoznanie autyzmu, co pewnie nie zmieni faktu, że lekarze są w tym rozpoznawaniu gorsi niż dzieci w przedszkolu.

It’s really goofy but somehow I really like it.

I tried DQ7 back on 3DS but it’s such a slog to get going I gave up. Going through this twice? You’re a true fan XD
