Sounds like he’s saying that when game companies go public (or voluntarily put money before fun), the enshittification sets in.

Small studios with heart still make fun games.

Oh shit, is that what the German replies were about?

I know you already mentioned it, but meditation and thought-stopping techniques are genuinely good practice for making you less reactive to immediate emotions when it’s inconvenient.

Otherwise? Maybe introspection to figure out where the anger is coming from and then challenging it. Often, anger is paired with a desire to control something (a person/situation), so challenging the expectation for something to happen the way you want it to happen could be a good start.

I picture two without looking, but I’m not super confident about this one.

This is the type of conspiracy I can get behind.

That sounds difficult.

You know, I bet a software engineer could write up something to help with it!

This one is going in my dad joke arsenal. Thank you

It’ll be interesting to see how it affects the average person’s written communication. When we know technology can handle something for us, our brains seem to let it carry the load. Think of all the people who aren’t great communicators or might not be confident in their English who would love to rely on this already.

I guess it’s a matter of perspective whether you view it as a crutch or a boon, which I’m sure has been a conversation about many pieces of technology over the years:

People were better at remembering phone numbers before cell phones stored them. People were better at remembering how to spell words before spell check/autocorrect. People were better at writing by hand before typewriters/keyboards. etc

They’ve got a guy with a big net.

Because as much as I post across Lemmy, I’m not continuously on all day. I usually post a handful of things whenever I think about it (usually the morning), then catch up on comments later throughout the day.

We’ve really gotta regulate these laminators.

My numbers are pretty similar. The remaster was cool, but PTDE with dsfix was where I got most of my time in.

I’d love it if they had a comparable service, because competition is good for the consumer, but they just don’t.

Steam has had a relative monopoly for two decades, and we’re lucky they’ve been customer friendly. But if something were to happen to Gabe, or Valve decided to go public or something, we’re screwed.

What an awesome list! I wish all new users could see this when they sign up for Lemmy somehow.

Some people just downvote for weird reasons, so I figure it’s not worth worrying about. Someone once told me they were downvoting every post I share that has bright colors because they use dark mode… Lol

Hopefully you’ll get to cash in that stamp card one day! Give it another 15 years.

Damn, that’s a better title.
