I finally saw one and was shocked at how stupid it looks. It's like Elon had a grudge with babyproofed corners.

People have been remarking that numerous countries are unable to join PSN and this will lock them out of the game. But can someone explain to me how that could be true? Are they literally not on the drop-down menu for selecting your country?

"I truly do not care if ConcernedApe speaks on pronouns in the game any more,” one user said. “I want [him] to condemn the transphobia and violence against the trans members of the community.”

How in the hell is this his responsibility? We have to prove our allegiances now? If I ever become a game dev I'm keeping my head down.

It's mildly interesting to consider how many people Trump has near-literally shat on just for them to open their mouths and say yes please after. Why not Pence? This can't be a spine, right?

I really loved OkCupid back before they sold out. They would share a lot of interesting data on their blog posts, and seemed genuinely interested in making successful matchups based on how your profile was presented to others. It was fun to be on there and didn't feel like you were just being presented for "dateable" you were if you didn't want to be.

I also met my wife on OkCupid, but that was just before the site really took a nosedive. Pretty annoyed they deleted my account without warning, so the first message she ever sent me is gone forever.

Bethesda has put themselves in an awkward spot by promoting niche and deep RPG mechanics for so long, and then becoming such a AAA developer with entire keynotes dedicated to previewing them that they no longer want to risk making deeper complex mechanics because they're scared of "confusing" the base audience.

I want to say they need to take Starfield as a wakeup call, in comparison to games like BG3. But they don't need to, because Gamepass numbers are practically imaginary sales numbers, and we're just going to hear about how well it sold for the next half-decade.

Thank you for being willing to protect this service when necessary, and improve it when able.

I was bitter about RiF but it didn't really sink in that I was not returning until I realized it was all just in bad faith. No point in going back somewhere that doesn't respect third-party apps or its own users. All the developments since then have made that very clear.

It's a bit disappointing that most of the communities for specific content are so inactive on here, but I still prefer it to the types of banal, waste-of-time, repetitive content and comments that plague reddit and have caused my eyes to roll in a tailspin.

Do I really have to choose one or the other, though?

Last I checked it was conservative states that had dry counties and locked-up alcohol sections in grocery stores on Sundays.

I think most Democrats would agree with you, but we can get back to actual political discourse after we prevent a literal Russian asset from attempting to remove the right to have discourse at all.

Republicans should consider themselves lucky. At least they can predict insane things that will never happen. We could predict they'll try to do something batshit bonkers and instead it'll actually happen.
