I like to listen to the Muckrake podcast for analysis of recent events.

I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.

That’s all, folks!

Isn’t this just Taco Bell?

They were paid in cocoa beans… 😖

The neutral redrawing of districts in my home state of Michigan has made a transformational difference for both local and national politics. I really hope Wisconsin can do the same.

Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.

It’s hard to buy ad-free cable TV…

Note takers, I guess…

Well, then it can run DOOM. I’m sold.

I’ve been using directly negative adjectives like “bad” or “unsatisfying.”

This is a pretty bitter and antisocial meme. God forbid that people enjoy a normal social life and live in a community where they have the opportunity to encounter people they care about and connect with them. Do you really prefer an impersonal and anonymous public life?

It’s still true that a deflationary economy would be a mess though. If we had deflation, the rich wouldn’t even bother investing and would literally just sit on a pile of gold like Smaug. I know trickle-down doesn’t work but an economy where nothing circulates would be hellish.

Isn’t this just World of Warcraft? It’s practically a co-op ARPG at this point.

Miserable game design for something that is trying to get players to come back every few months for content releases. “You can’t play the new hero until you grind for it until you burn out or pay” is just not a compelling pitch to get people to resume playing your game.

It’s only going to get worse over time as the proportion of premium characters grows… 😐

• The Bioshock series supports a spellcasting-based play style with a decent skill tree.
• CONTROL also involves a lot of eldritch force powers in its combat sequences
• I know you didn’t really want sidescrollers or top-downs but Noita and Magicka are pretty great at delivering on the creativity of mage combat and scratch this itch for me.

This YouTube creator has published several quality videos what’s going on in Wizard Games lately, which is a quick way to catch up on the genre: https://youtu.be/quPKQIVEX5A

Yep! It’s free real estate.

Absolutely a good idea to focus on Lemmy’s gains. A viable competitor is up and running now, so Reddit will have to compete or perish.

And now that there is enough to infinite-scroll, that’s enough to satisfy any one user. Of course, it’s true that having more content will allow for a larger number of high quality posts and the ability to serve more niche communities, but at least there is a viable alternative for that Reddit itch now. It’s so much easier to uninstall Reddit apps than it was a month ago.
