That’s what happened with a lot of MoeBucks in SK.

Donated to causes counter to the cons.

Rule 1: Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.

That is the actual formatting for all of Lemmy to the best of my knowledge.

Some of the apps people use don’t do formatting properly.

Strange Flesh, but in a more literal sense, to a subby bottom bear.

What about Redout?

I completely agree that the quality of the story is kinda the whole point, but I am tired of seeing comments like the one RightHand made; complaining that she is a woman just because she is a woman.

If women make up around 50% of the people on earth, shouldn’t they make up around 50% of the main characters?

Interplay/Black Isle, pre-EA Bioware, Troika, Obsidian, Chris Sawyer, Larian, Lucas Arts, Valve, Gearbox had it’s time in the sun, as did Mojang.

There are different levels of scummy that are considered socially acceptable, and some marketing doesn’t rely on tricking you.

Think of the different ads you’ve seen:

“Our furniture is locally made by unionized workers. Everything is made using young trees that we grow ourselves, or reclaimed wood”

Is different than:

“On Friday, our pasta is buy one get one free”

Is very different than:

“Hey gay, it’s June. You know what that means? It’s time for us to change our logo to include a rainbow and maybe even have an ad (in some countries) with two woman who might be married if you read between the lines. Maybe you can ignore that we donate money to political groups that are anti-LGBT, or that we fire queer people at a higher rate than straight people.”

Or

“Hey kids, I’m a clown! Your parents don’t love you if they don’t buy Clown brand bleach. Kids without Clown brand bleach are poor, unlovable losers, and they’ll never have any friends. Now in comes in cherry, and blue raspberry!”

People generally look down on pretending to be a minority for financial gain.

Non-gendered wording isn’t exclusive to English, it’s mostly other European languages that stick to doing that.

There are some languages that don’t even have different words for “he” and “she”.

Edit: made the wording less asshole-y

Queerbaiting: Pretending or hinting that you may be LGBT+, in order to trick people into liking you more, or to pay more attention to you or your work. Sometimes this is a way to try to get LGBT+ fans, sometimes it’s trying to get straight people who think LGBT+ people/acts are sexy.

Arc, as in story arc of a tv show or book series: So, it’s for a set period of time, and then they move on, not really acknowledging again.

Pop acts have done this a lot.

Canadians of a certain age will remember Buck-a-day computers from the 2000’s

The game sold about a million copies in its first month, but that’s across all platforms, and I think that was also including the games that came bundled with Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs.

So, still not super great, but likely much higher than the Steam number

Infowars was/is a media company, Alex Jones’ show was on TV and online.
They are known for peddling and creating far right conspiracy theories, and because of this were often banned from social media websites for breaking their Terms of Service.
Because Elon is a right-wing conspiracy theorist who likes Alex Jones, he unbanned infowars from Twitter when he(Elon) bought it.

Inforwars was recently sued into the ground because of the claims he made to his audience about the victims of school shootings and their families. Because of this, he was ordered to have his assets liquidated.
The Onion (a satirical news/comedy website) won the bid for Inforwars and its assets, and Elon isn’t a fan of this, so he’s trying to not allow The Onion access to the Inforwars Twitter account.

The shirt is using an aggressive tone, which is inferring the person wearing is someone who would complain about “those damn libs and their pronouns.”

But even with the aggressive tone, the shirt is letting us know that which pronouns he uses.

I know that other services, like the trending community bot, that recent had issues in the same vein. The trend bot only showed like 3 communities, and it normally shows about a dozen.

So, there is likely a federation issue, or something wrong with however these services get their data.

I don’t remember Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked being horny, but it’s been a while

Can you explain further, or give an example?
