  • Mildly disappointed that they are releasing episodically.

    Also disappointed that they isn’t a rewind feature in case you miss dialog lines. Felt like a pretty big exclusion when I played the demo.

    Still bought it and plan to play it since I love this alt superhero meta that is going on what with the boys (though the last seasons sucked), and with Invincible (which is also starting to head down the drain).

    I just love the lack of hollywood morality where the good guy doesnt kill, and the superheros don’t really have meaningful personal difficulties or problems.


  • Let Activision come check up on us and cry because for all their efforts no one even cares to hate on their game.

    The reality is that we are on a relatively small decentralized reddit clone.

    We truly are the most exceptional exceptions.

    Most people cant even begin to think of caring about what we care about.

    Activision certainly doesnt.


  • And they don’t understand why people pirate, run away from AAA games and go for indie games instead.

    They completely understand… the numbers saying that they’re making money hand over fist and the number of people who care is sadly minuscule.

    These games have hit a critical mass where people will casually buy them because they’re friends are and so its a common ground game to play with buddies.

    I don’t think we can ever rely on consumers pushing back on anti consumer practises because of the reality of people.

    Not everyone can afford to care about every issue.

    As a result, boycotts are very unlikely to work in the modern world. There is just too much all at once for any one person to care about all of them, so even if you, lets say, care about 1% (a really high estimate) of things that are wrong in the world, and are willing to act, if we extrapolated that out to the whole population, the only things that would move would need to have double digit percentages of peoples care overlapping before anything stuck.

    Really, the answer is that you simply need a government that cares about its people/consumer rights.

    The USA and Canada, both are very far away from having governments like that.

    Europeans are a lot luckier, but yet still, there is plenty to go.


  • At the same time, easier, in that there is a lot less toxicity and bots targeting the lemmyverse

    Like recently, I found a reddit thread that had a pretty obviously racist meme.

    It was extremely highly upvoted, but something really felt uncanny about it, because I know racism is ramping up, but this was too blunt to feel natural to me.

    Then, so many comments defending the racism were there it was odd.

    That’s when I decided to look into the profiles of these comments and 9/10 of them were a year old or less, with very few comments or completely hidden profiles.

    It was one of the most blatant bot/troll farm attacks I’ve ever seen and kinda shocked me.

    All of there comments seemed very humanly written, but the account ages being all similar was too big a tell for me to think it was organic.

    Basically, I think we’re cooked if people keep using centralized websites and or if we dont have a way to figure out what is genuine from what isn’t.

    The average person goes with the flow and doesn’t think too hard about things. If through trolls or bots a country, nation state or group of billionaires can change what appears to be public opinion, we’re fucked.



  • They cannot.

    The republican party is complicit, and supports the evil he does, and more than that, he commands their supporters, so it would be political suicide for them.

    Why can’t the democrats? The republicans control all 4 parts of government and even if they had control over the senate, they would need 60% of the votes, a number that is unprecedented in recent times.
