This makes me realize that I can’t think of hardly any videogames with a black character at the forefront.

Sure, there are black playable characters in MOBAs and MMOs, but how many story-driven games have black characters at the forefront?

The most recent one I can think of is Alan Wake 2. And Spider-Man Miles Morales. But there really are so few compared to those with white main characters. Which is sad.

Don’t forget in the middle of the night, being woken up by your cat hacking something up onto your only rug… right next to your hardwood floor.

Fucking morons, buying a lie and thinking they’re geniuses for buying into the “truth.”

These people are being scammed and think they’re investors. It’s the same as those who get sucked into MLMs and think they run their own business.

“Suh Yuh”

As I’ve heard it, it’s much less of a problem when you’re looking at it straight on and out of bright sunlight. I think it was Honor that released a foldable last year that nearly eliminated it. So they’re close to minimizing it as much as they can

Ugh, the “let’s try that again” move is so demeaning and rude. Royal families have no place in this world anymore.

They joke, but it would likely work. Become a defense contractor and the US government will let you do anything

They’ve sold 117 million PS4s and 59 million PS5s.

They take a 30% cut on each game sold on the PlayStation store. That’s $18 for every $60 game sold.

If every one of those people bought just one game per year, Sony brings in $3,006,000,000 every year. Even if only half of gamers buy one game per year, that’s still an insane amount of money.

Corporate greed on full display. And don’t tell me it’s because of game development costs. Because:

The next game, which is a fan-favourite is Uncharted 4. This game needed $40 million to be completed, and after its release, it made around $1 billion.

And the best of them all, Marvel Spider-Man. This game cost $100 million to be developed, and when it was released, it made a whopping $6.8 billion.

Sony-funded games are wildly profitable.

Probably everyone should avoid Alabama colleges in general.

Something racist about the way black people smell, I think is what they mean.

Anything over a $500 million in asset value taxed at 100%.

Far above what anyone should own. And yet, you’ll get middle-class people defending the people with those riches, that they deserve to keep their billion dollars.

The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.

I’m not thinking this is going to be good. I love Cate Blanchett, love Jack Black, and Kevin Hart… but the actors were definitely not the right choice for the roles. Kevin Hart is tiny when Roland is a massive dude, Cate Blanchett is just too old for being Lilith, and Jack Black will just be Jack Black and not Claptrap. And where’s Mordecai and Brick?

We’ll see, but video game movies are always a crapshoot because the producers rarely understand the source material.

Feels like The Onion is on their game today, between this and the Trump $399 furry tail.

They’re the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.

Carbon offsets are often not even that much. Companies will pay other companies just not to bulldoze that forest or burn that oil.

But then the companies just do it anyway. So essentially, it’s just shifting money to make no difference.

It’s like the worst episode of Sesame Street ever.

“This episode brought to you by the letters Q and Z!”

I see that rogue Google Play Music icon there. Makes me sad they killed it.

What’s the last game Ubisoft came out with that had any real success in the public gaming consciousness?

The Fractured But Whole?

They just don’t make great games.
