This hurts and is very relatable. I hope you’re not waiting too much longer.

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements.

Unless it was a few very specific US states, this isn’t really relevant. The minimum age to sign up for an account on Twitch is 13.

Let me know how your back feels in the morning

The bear has a circle beard. A goatee is traditionally only the hair under your chin, but the definition is pretty loose nowadays.

This excerpt from the linked Wikipedia article for the name abstractly summarizes it nicely.

It reached the rank of the sixth most popular name for girls in the United States in 1912 and maintained that popularity through 1920, but then its popularity dropped quickly afterward.[2]

The name Mildred was very common about a hundred years ago, but never really at any other point since. If you see the name Mildred without seeing the person in question your first thoughts will be that they are extremely old. That’s really about it.

Maybe stop stirring the pot? At this point it really just seems like you’re the problem here with how petty and antagonistic you’re being.

I’ve never had the flavored ones, but not really. It’s actually a very smooth drink. It’s a neutral spirit made from sweet potato so it tastes kind of like vodka, but without the bite because it’s half the alcohol content.

unparalleled equine realism

This is going to be the Red Dead realistic horse testicle thing all over again isn’t it

I also expect they’ll try to work it back in somehow to capture more revenue and/or data. If it’s not this again in a stealthier form, then it’ll be something similar. No crossplay without PSN or no credit store without PSN, something like that.

This is moreorless what I’m expecting. They will either strongly incentivize it when the publicity dies down or place restrictions on those that don’t link accounts.

Maybe I’m just jaded, but I wonder how long it will be until Sony ‘changes their mind’ and tries to enforce contractual obligations again. I’m going to guess 6 months to wait for the negative PR to cool.

on a large scale doesn’t this mostly protect people from dangerous debts?

Not really. It just ends up with lenders offering far more predatory interest rates, which worsens the situation for the debtor. The system is set up in such a way that you can spiral pretty hard with a single misstep.

There’s a difference between wanting to have good credit so that you can benefit from a garbage system and wanting that system to exist in the first place.

Those companies are: Asmodee Group, which comprises Embracer’s tabletop games biz; Coffee Stain & Friends, an evolution of the existing Coffee Stain publisher, who will pursue “a dual focus on indie and A/AA premium and free-to-play games for PC/console and mobile”; and Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends, “a creative powerhouse in AAA game development and publishing for PC and console, as well as the stewards of The Lord of the Rings and Tomb Raider intellectual properties, among many others”.

Besides, I’m not sure how much of this is Embracer “breaking up” versus Embracer moving the pieces around. Even as Embracer trisect themselves, the investment firm run by CEO and cofounder Lars Wingefors will keep their current holdings within the group - “approximately 20% of capital and 40% of votes” – and will form “a new long-term ownership structure” so as to “remain a long-term, active, committed and supportive owner of all three entities."

• The entities will have sufficient scale, coupled with clearer operational strategies and financial profiles that enable simplified equity stories to attract a larger pool of investors. Current shareholders can freely decide on their capital allocation between the three entities.

• Each entity will be able to fully utilize its own balance sheet, its own set of financial targets and optimal financing structure and capital allocation strategy that enable their growth ambitions.

Tldr: Embracer is breaking into three sub-companies each with a focus on specific parts of the industry - indie, A/AA, AAA. Smaller games won’t be punished for poor performance and management of larger projects because of separate balance sheets(allegedly). Leadership is still basically the same.

For what it’s worth, I saw your posts on Yiffit when you found all this out after the fact. It’s a little inconvenient on desktop, but on mobile it’s actually very intuitive to have separate accounts to specifically browse an instance by local. You can usually even have the same display name if that’s important to you as well.

In the future though you always do need to keep instance politics, culture, and rules in mind when choosing a daily driver account because it is important.

The admins of Lemmy.ml are staunchly against any pornographic material being federated to their instance. This stance is unlikely to ever change and you should not expect it to.

Personally I would just recommend keeping two accounts if this is your problem - one general purpose and another for being able to view NSFW.

Thank you. I almost typed out a similar comment, but deleted it.

Although this meme is just supposed to be “thing, bigger thing” maybe half the time I see it it’s someone trying to say “thing, objectively better thing” and it just feels really gross. I hate most memes that are just stolen social media posts of people living their lives honestly.

I mean, there’s inspiration and elements from Dwarf Fortress, but it’s absolutely its own gem of a game. It sounds like your son needs to sit down to play and then wonder where the last 12 hours went himself!

I get it. I do standard deadlifts first thing on my back day because I don’t like fatiguing my posterior chain on leg day, but it definitely causes grip problems by the end of my workout. Maybe it’s just me, but you’ll probably be lifting lower weights typically with an RDL which may be where the comments are coming from.

I’m going to disregard the original comment because a lot of factors are going into the impressiveness and everyone’s body is different, but you can’t really compare your flat bench progression with your deadweight lifts accurately to gauge progress. Either way, progress is progress and congrats on your gains friend!

I guess I’m going to stop saying “You’re welcome” to the self checkout when it thanks me 🥲 I just didn’t want to be the first to go when the robot uprising happens.
