Oh man. The OG Rainbow Six was the most complex game I ever played as a child! Fun times repeating the first mission multiple times after all my agents or the hostages you’re meant to rescue keep getting killed.

I imagine it would be for older games though?
I was a huge fan of Ubisoft. I basically stopped playing any of their games after Assassins Creed 3, with the exception of AC: Black Flag, which I got from the high seas, ironically.
Maybe I am missing something with this but anarchists are hated both by communists and liberals. If they see the anarchists, they’d also gang up on the latter lol.
Yes, we should prepare for the coming of AI. However, we overestimated the rate of AI development. Iirc 80% of investors lost money from investing in AI companies because the technology is not up to scratch yet. I mean, how many people asked something from ChatGPT and gave you wrong answers frequently?
The thing is, unlike lemmy.ml users, I don’t ban anyone or block the instance.
I could block the instance, but it is more damaging to create a bubble than counter their BS if it pops up.
What do you mean? There are more immigrants now than before leaving the EU despite promises.
Could have been a response to my post lol.
I didn’t even know Mastodon has an exclusive club streak lol.
Hmm… that’s fair but it seems that Epic even forgot to think of end users-- the gamers-- in that regard before trying to compete with Steam. They prioritised devs first over the actually most important stakeholder.
Now that you mentioned it, you could be right. I do know that many r/ChapoTrapHouse users from Reddit migrated to Lemmy after the subreddit got banned for incitement to violence. They may fled to lemmy.ml and I didn’t realise that the instance is much older.
As @Kecessa stated, any interaction with lemmy.ml legitimises the entire instance.
I set my feed for all instances to appear. Despite the reputation of lemmy.ml, it’s been gaining traction recently.
To be honest, I totally forgot about Epic until articles are popping recently that it’s not going well even after all these years.
Also, what’s wrong about discussing this? Epic is a good example of a business venture not doing well for failing to do one of the most basic business philosophy: set yourself apart from the competitors.
I’m far from being a business savvy person, but honestly, from business perspective what exactly is Epic offering that sets them apart from other competitors? Even if Epic fixed their launcher issues, how would they be different to Steam that is already well established for 20 years? That’s why I like GOG as Steam’s competitor. GOG focuses on selling DRM-free and retro games. If a game also happens to be available in GOG, I would prefer to buy it from there than Steam. Moreover, GOG keep old games well maintained and updated to run in modern computers; something that Steam is very poor at doing. What does Epic even do differently, apart from doing exclusives which any companies could do?
As an agnostic atheist, the third panel is a serious cope.
The Hay’s code is coming back in the 21st century.
It’s an myriad of reasons from what I can tell. Americans are conditioned to think along the status quo lines even if there is certain degree of freedom of thought. The American corporate media carves the political landscape to intentionally but subtly influence folks to pick either only Democrats or Republicans.
Another reason is that, I suppose rugged invidualism won out in the American society for better mobilisation. As you rightly pointed out, there just isn’t grassroots activism among American people (not counting civil and lgbt rights which are undoubtedly grassroots activism and successful ones at that). But this isn’t what it used to be. Before and in the early 20th century, there have been other third political parties still gaining respectable number of votes, the last one being the Socialist Party led by Eugene Debbs. He won a respectable 1 million votes as a presidential candidate while campaigning from prison during World War I.
Not sure what happened why political grassroots activism that could counter either Democratic and Republican parties died out, but my guess is that the proliferation of mass media in the 20th century may have had a hand to convince people to stick with two parties, as well as heavy emphasis on individualistic values.
