If it’s worth playing, reward them by purchasing not pirating.

Thanks. I was wondering—isn’t this backwards. It is! It’s backwards as all get out.

But is it filled with the people that many want to follow and interact with? Twitter was popular for this reason, and people will tolerate being advertised to and sold on if it recreates that experience.

I had brief conversations on Twitter with Ice-T and John Carmack. Twitter’s nature enabled that remarkable connection. Could it happen on Mastodon? Absolutely, but those celebrities and geniuses need to embrace it. If it’s Bluesky, it’s better than X if only for a time.

Probably should have changed the subject or said goodbye. Arguing with conservatives is exhausting and usually in bad faith. It’s about winning, not exploring a topic together.

SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY

I just started playing it.

Samsung DEX.

We all can’t be l337 like…looks at username…wait a SECOND—

“Imagine people paying for Windows.” You had me up to the point that you explained why Microsoft might want to get rid of local accounts. You’re doing the thing that gives executives the idea of forcing online connectivity.

Back then I felt like I’d played everything. Fun to learn about games that passed me by.

Thank you (and thanks to everyone else who replied). I’m going to give this a shot.

From my childhood they say. God I’m old.

Just saying people don’t complain about ads in podcasts because they’re skippable.

Is this worth playing today?

“Biden fully supports the genocide.”

This disqualified anything this person had to say. If you believe this, you’re either a confused person or seeking to sow discord.

🎵This how we do-it🎵

I feel like that’s where it’s headed. Doesn’t matter what we’re talking about. A shining exception is private company Valve, which has proven time and again that it’s a model for how to treat customers.
