I’ve seen at least 2 usernames that submit A LOT, and if you search your feed i’m sure you’ll be able to spot them easily. They also comment on rising posts quite a lot and personally mod a few communities. I’ve not seen them repost content that doesn’t get traction, but they do repost content taken from reddit

We have our own version of him here on lemmy as well

Who cares about the environment when we could be hoarding more money. Can anybody please think about those poor CEOs? :(

You gotta honor the cock

I’m sorry, I read that wrong! In that case I still think the problem in this situation is NOT fast food workers being compensated fairly, but that teachers are not. The point about being a clickbaity title still stands. One could also argue if the possible shared workforce pool overlaps between those two markets, but that’s a discussion for another day

Schools don’t ‘compete’ with industries. School is a service that parents and their children participate in, in order to better society. And the priority for children should always be education before entering the workforce. If more people decide to work in fast food now that they feel their value is compensated fairly, then the responsibility rests in their parents to help them make an informed decision based on their economic brackground. A fairly compensated job is NOT the problem. I feel this article is biased in its title in order to generate more rage/engagement or maybe to push a political agenda.

Edit: someone brought to my attention that I read that wrong, so I apologise. But the point still stands in that case: the title makes it seem that the fast food workers having a fair wage is the problem, when the problem is that teachers are underpaid.

It’s higher now, more like 1 USD is around 1200 (black market rate, the ‘real’ value) The problem per se is not that the store is in USD now, but that during the transition many games abandoned regional pricing and set their prices to the default, which is the american value. So for example the game Jedi survivor is now listed at USD70, and with taxes it comes around to ~USD110. I’m working full time as an accountant, and that’s a third of my monthly salary, which is completely unaffordable.

Was is ever to begin with? In any case luckily the Microsoft store still has competitive prices so we still can use that

Sadly steam is no longer a viable platform for purchasing games in Argentina, so I have to disagree with this article

I don’t mean to start a discussion here, but this is your interpretation and it’s valid. But galadriel’s character has contradictory history depending on your sources (even regarding the kinslaying). And it’s debated even between Tolkien’s scholars the extend at which she can ‘sense evil’. After all, she herself was deceived by saruman after his corruption during the third age.

In your last paragraph you say ‘nothing about her character in the series has any respect for Tolkien’s work’. That’s simply hyperbole, and arguably not true, as even a surface level reading can prove otherwise. Such words are not Tolkien’s way.

Anyway, I don’t want you to change your mind, just want you to be aware of the possibility of other interpretations. Take care!

Do let me know what you think of it!

Honestly I don’t really care, I’m more inclined to strategy and 4x games.
If you don mind me recommending a game, check out against the storm, it’s a city builder with rogue like elements, and it came out recently out of early access, it’s reaaaaally addicting

I wouldn’t say naive, but definitely reckless. And I would 100% say they portrayed her as strong in the tv series. Hell, it begins with her on an incursion on the remains of angband, which if you know the lore I’d say it’s pretty badass. Her arc in season 1 was about how she was so blinded by revenge and recklessness, that she couldn’t see the evil in front of her. Which is pretty fitting for a noldor elf. It shows that even trying your hardest to make good, your actions can and will have unintended consequences, even ‘evil’ ones. Which perfectly sets up her eventual rejection of the one ring, during the mirror scene in fellowship of the ring. She knew then she’d have good intentions using it, but she also knew more evil will come with that

I haven’t played the gollum game, but rings of power was actually good tho

I would hardly consider ‘power users’ the ones who download via the API. I used to download them via BSPlayer, where it will prompt you in a nice user friendly interface if you needed subtitles for whatever you were watching. Well, that used the old OpenSubtitles API, and now that it’s gone it’s not gonna work anymore

I agree! I miss nuance in the internet’s hivemind

Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t want to downplay people’s experiences and performance issues ARE concerning, and I personally hold the belief that a company is responsible for the quality of the product they bring to market and ultimately a fault in their own processes if they couldn’t. BUT it doesn’t take away that the issue has been overblown. It simply, given the game’s circumstances, shouldn’t be getting the hate it’s currently harbouring. It seems to me that the internet’s found the new shiny thing to hate on, and the human psyche simply can’t resist just a smidge more of rage

Well I think the whole performance thing have been blown waaaay out of proportion by a vocal few. I have a relatively old pc with an rx580 8gb vram and the game’s been running fine for me. Obviously it needs some patches, but people have been saying it’s the second coming of ksp2, and that’s simply bullshit

Reddit’s life blood is arguments for the argument’s sake, even when you don’t have a flu what you are arguing against or for. So it doesn’t really surprise. Besides, Reddit’s been heavily moderating positive comments about Lemmy so it may be that bias showing
