They’re private groups that do the ratings but ESRB is enforced by laws in some Canadian provinces for instance and PEGI is enforced by law in some European countries. They do have a de facto authority in those places as a publisher can’t just decide to disregard their ratings and sell to minors anyway or something.

Well that’s not because it’s being downvoted…which is what you said. It’s because it’s being upvoted until it gets censored, which is happening less here in the fediverse than on corporate run sites like reddit…

Nah the issue is being actively censored from the top down on reddit.

Survey says yes, but GOG is still good.

I have a backlog of great games to play so long that I’m seeing remasters of some games on the list come out before I’ve played them a first time. I have no problem waiting for games to come to a different platform and go on sale.

TempleOS is the rabbit hole usb.

Half Life 2 still holds up really well, honestly better than a ton of modern first person shooters. The only places it’s lacking from a non-technical aspect is enemy variety. If valve did a remake just updating the graphics and gun play that would be my only knock on it and that says a lot for a 20 year old game.

Use a butane insert. Still refillable but it’s sealed in well enough to last years of infrequent use.

It’s life changing when you start to rtfm.

You had me in the first half, ngl

I’m so glad I quit consoles. Now I’m just rooting for steam to get every game running perfectly in linux so we don’t have to deal with Windows either.

Some of us like linux and want to deal with it…

Yeah that’s probably it. I haven’t seen Snowpiercer and was mixing the two up.

For some reason I always thought it was an fps that takes place on trains…I’ll check it out now because I like city builders.

type site:lemmy.world in front of your search if using google. You can combine multiple instances with the OR operator ie site:lemmy.world OR site:programming.dev this will force google to give you content only from your desired domains but lemmy.world posts will likely trample the other instances for a lot of stuff.

We’re becoming a little centralized (which I personally don’t find to be such a bad thing yet).

Freakonomics is always solid.

Damn I actually watched this is exact video about three weeks ago…

It’s important to note how we got here. In old English man just meant human. Wereman meant male and wifman meant female. Over time that “were” prefix got dropped and man now means male but the ambiguous meaning of humankind stuck around. In fact “human” comes from old french “of man”, again the non-gendered use of the word man.

The point is to fix all these problems we just have to bring back the “were”. The progressive werewolves are way ahead of us on this issue.

My balls just got 18% bigger when you said that.
