Oh, they can add content not included in the original purchase? And they ask me to buy those things they worked on if I want to play with them? Fucking monsters… someone needs to stop them.

Fuck that. Maybe old WSB, not the GME cultists. They can fuck all the way off.

It’s weird… do you think Elliot cares what OP’s pirated copies list their name as, when the legal copies on stream have already updated the name? Would it not be better to pay for the content and support the artist that way?

This is one of the strangest virtue signals I’ve ever seen. Just watch the mediocre show and move on.

We do and it is.

What a nerd

They didn’t have most of Walking Dead when we looked into it last year. We would have had to sub to maybe 3 services to get a full rewatch.

Hasbro sent the literal Pinkertons after a Youtuber over Magic cards recently.

It’s hard to not sound snarky here, but you could play another system that’s not seen as a commodity to be passed around Corps for profit.

I switched a couple years back, and honestly couldn’t see going back even before their licensing drama. As a GM, their books are so hard to make work, and expensive for what you get. D&D became too much of a product, and the game has suffered. 3rd party stuff has always had better value and usability compared to WotC books (few exceptions), and other systems give much better support for GM’s to actually run the game.

The coolest shit you do in D&D is the stuff you’re group comes up with at the table, and you get that with any system. Tencent also can’t buy that, so there’s nothing stopping you just playing 5th Edition, and not 6th (or One, whatever Marketing ends up calling it).

68 billion to acquire IP, but can’t afford to pay the people who make and maintain it.

We have corporate protections in the USA.

They did that too. Most ISP’S outside of Comcast shrugged as well. The studios lost this fight almost 2 decades ago.

Banner Saga

You guys don’t drunk-order a bunch of useless shit then expect to return it for no cost once buyer’s remorse sinks in?

There was a short segment on 60 Minutes (maybe?) back in 2020 before the elections where they interviewed someone who had deprogrammed himself from Qanon.

It was the same story. He had no friends IRL, no social support, he had turned his mom onto Qanon and she was still down the rabbit hole.

He said that was the part that kept him in it for so long, even once he started questioning things. All his “friends” and close relations were part of the cult and he would have to cut ties with everyone or worse, they would turn on him and attack him as a traitor.

It would be sad if these online-cults weren’t so damaging to society.

Biodome with Pauly Shore is one of my favorite movies. I have fun every time i watch it. It’s not a “good” movie.

If you don’t like base building, you’re opinion on NMS probably won’t change. I still enjoy it and fire it up a couple times a year, but the gameplay loops haven’t fundamentally changed and the survival elements are still pretty loose. I haven’t played the most recent updates from this year yet though.

Same. I finally got into reading which I’ve been regretting not doing for years. I’ve read 5 scifi novels in the last few months and just dipped my toes into the Discworld series with Mort. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of my kid’s library card lately.

Whenever i find myself doom scrolling lemmy like i would reddit, I’ve gotten in the habit of putting my phone down and reading a chapter of whatever is nearby.

Trying to bump those subscription numbers with teenage girls.

I’m not watching S3, knowing Cavill won’t be back. Not worth investing anymore time. The series is a failure to me.

This is a Polish executive. You’re just parroting other’s opinions.
