I’ve blocked the instance quite a while ago. In the beginning I was just blocking communities, but the users spill everywhere unless you go nuclear.

State actors could be interested in doing that. Same with the internet archive attacks.

I agree that there’s nothing wrong with remixes. Vampire Survivors dude invented a new genre and all, people who say these games are “copying” Vampire Survivors probably also say that every FPS is copying Maze War lol

Death Must Die was indeed fun. Soulstone Survivor is pretty good too.

l don’t understand people who think there’s any meaningful comparison between Diablo and HoT.

HoT is a vampire-survivors game, and in my opinion is the actual best in the genre, I have dozens of hours in it. This type of gameplay has absolutely nothing to do with ARPGs.

I agree that forced exclusivity is bad. I absolutely disagree with your statement that ubisoft store was better than steam, I don’t even understand how you can say something like that. But yes, without the games any store is worthless.

You didn’t respond to my question though, so I’ll repeat it: even if someone was able to launch a product with feature parity to steam, why would anyone migrate?

I was gonna comment about epic giving games away for free, but I think I got your point. You mean like the same releases, but subsidizing, say, 10% of the price?

Assuming that a company could hope to achieve a store front with similar features in a few years instead of the 21 that steam had, why would anyone migrate there?

I’m on the same page as you, it’s tough. I have no idea how any other platform can really achieve competitor status with steam, and this is a big problem for us consumers and for developers.

Big change for me was stop using “name.lastname@email.com”, I was giving that info to so many random ass websites and app and services. Just create another email and connect that with your “main” one, that’s trivial to do with gmail.

Search for your name on images and see if anything comes up. If yes, try to clean that up. It’s usually profile pictures in services.

Don’t leave your strava profile public. It’s crazy to me that people do that. I don’t want even my friends knowing where and when I exercised.

On the same topic, make sure your facebook photos and connections aren’t visible to non-friends. It’s insane the amount of people who just put everything out there for anyone to see.

no common sense allowed in this thread, sir. only AI hate bandwagon please.

I use firefox, I also tried on brave and have the same issue, signed in or not.

I just investigated a little bit, and lemmy.world’s requests to the images returns 500 (with a 404 inside):
https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b8ed3feb-e396-4c22-b6f7-a170ed871fc1.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256

However it seems to be an issue with the “format” and “thumbnail” parameters, as just the image link works:
https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b8ed3feb-e396-4c22-b6f7-a170ed871fc1.png

🤷‍♂️

Does anyone know why most image posts from that server don’t show up in lemmy.world?

That’s great news tbh. I’ve tried going back to the game multiple times over the years, but since you can’t reset your progess/start a new save, I get overwhelmed by everything and give up.

Click on the “blocks” tab, it’s at the bottom.

“LLM did something silly” must be the most boring type of concern bait out there.

Cloud Atlas - very bad. Cute overall plot, but script is absolute nonsense. Feels like it was written by a very motivated 15 year old.

Harakiri - fucking great. Brilliant photography, plot, script, acting.

My own custom layout that tries to find a compromise between not fucking too much with the left side keys because of hotkeys, typing en and my mother tongue, and programming.

Also use 28 keys split keyboard, so some macros for some keys.

Taking the call in underwear after 12 years of no contact is extremely weird. I’ve learned to keep people like that, men and women, at arms length. They usually bask in the energy of all the people falling in love/being horny with them. Love yourself.

No idea how to read the meter thing, but cool as heck nevertheless.
