Do you know how many non-americans casually use the n word be cause they don’t understand the repercussions? It’s all the fuckin time, especially among white Europeans.

Genuine question, is this really the reason why? If it’s between this (which I also feel is a pretty low point) and ads, I felt Lemmy would be full of the people who’d rather pay.

Yea that’s my issue in this argument too. Saying forums are replacing everything, or even that that’s a big problem is like saying “Swords are disappearing from warfare and that’s a problem” in the late 15th century. We don’t need forums for everything because the format isn’t the only tool we have anymore.

This has been said about every significant invention ever.

I’m surprised the OSRS wiki isn’t mentioned more. The game itself is very community oriented as well.

English is normally “putting the cart before the horse”. Mind if I ask what country uses ox for such a similar saying? I just like language quirks

Also fuck that guy and good on you for telling him to fuck off with his nonsense.

The fact that “luigi’d” as a verb has become pretty common slang very quickly, it’s not crazy to associate it with violence.

Now we get to the actual matter. Several years ago saying “Someone should shoot that CEO” (which would be the same statement as something like “Hoping that CEO gets luigi’d”) would not have gotten you banned. Wishing death upon someone is not the same as actual threats of violence.

That’s what I’m saying tho, it’s bs that Belatro would get hit simply for the imagery they’re using, while other games get a lesser penalty when ACTUAL (both real money and in game currencies) gambling is happening.

Awesome to see them win this. If other games can have poker or other cards games where the characters are gambling and not have that influence their shit, the roguelike that uses playing cards in the same way Go-Fish does definitely shouldn’t be smacked over this.

Fuck EA and all the loot box game makers that don’t get hit with this crap

Who needs satire when you have reality?

Used to be I could preload games I prepurchase and would absolutely be doing that still, but that’s pretty much never on offer anymore so I don’t prepurchase even games I’m 100% certain I’ll be getting.

Sounds like a “I liked Star Trek before it was woke” take.

It’s fun to watch the Nazis lose territory, until they aren’t and suddenly America and Russia are both Fasc and I’m just crying trying to keep my people happy enough to be willing to go to war

Honestly, why? Like I know the DoD doesn’t ever seem to need justification for anything, but I feel this, considering its a pretty minimal impact designation outside reputation, really should at least have a vague “this reason amongst our list of reasons 10000, figure it out”

The game is literally made up of gambling imagery. From cards to chips to terms, the whole fuckin 9 yards. MY POINT IS ITS NOT GAMBLING, ITS GAMBLING IMAGERY.

I prefaced the whole fuckin statement I started with with saying it’s bullshit. DESPITE THAT BULLSHIT THE LABEL IS NOT INCORRECT. I hope you can stop being fucking obtuse and see my point after I’ve rephrased it multiple times.

Do you know what gambling imagery entails? It doesn’t have to be how antes actually are used in poker for it to be gambling imagery.

A game just has to show characters gambling for it to be gambling imagery. It doesn’t even have to be anything more than a level in a casino.

I think the important note is it’s not just the cards in Balatro. Is it right? Not in my opinion. You have to admit tho, that it uses waaaaay more gambling imagery (you make antes for fuck’s sake)

Dude you threatened a kid and are suffering the consequences. This is intended behavior in an RPG. You cheesed and broke it to get it to that point in the camp and you’re blaming Larian. You chose to play Dark Urge and be a dick to a child and don’t want to deal with everyone hating that. Move on to act 2 and suffer the consequences lol.

Finally got Witcher 3 on my PC so I can play that again.

Me and the (long distance) gf bought It Takes Two

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Death’s Door, cute souls like

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

And God of War Ragnarok wasn’t on sale but I was waiting to see if it would be, so I technically bought it during the autumn sale

The way they approached Threads is part of why I stuck with LW. Instance location doesn’t matter much to me and why would I go with an option that is more willing to take choice out of my hands?

Corporate or not, it should be my decision to interact with it. Unless it’s Nazis or some shit similar, I can block rather than rely on defederation and being told what to do.
