Country flags are the most popular thing in r/place, and country subs are big too. They can share a little of their clicks and reddit would think before pissing them off and erasing them. People kinda dislike when you erase the symbol of their country. It can also go into news.

How does their board measure success? As there is a majority of lurkers, what’s the best price of one’s effort?

I wonder if calling their board of directors and investors by name could’ve reached news.

Also, seller is likely to be seen responsible if shipping won’t go great, like broken, lost, stolen. Some just won’t trust international mail before they get big enough they can take a hit, or it’s their primary market.

No, you are golden.

It may not be displayed correctly, but it seems you trimmed your own comment on the article but not Gizmodo’s promotion.

Thank you.

There’s an ad in the end if you want to trim it.

I get TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED by how he looks.

Companies would be happy to sell it if that is profitable. But we aren’t prepared for that. Imagine what hole would create a working and accessible sim where you can just copy a person into a porn. Being spammed with a livestream of anon doing your underaged children or a dead grandmother is not that far from now. One another Pandora’s box.

I’d be more afraid of you prefering to die not alone, but with someone.

I don’t think heroine works like that but the picture is pretty vivid.

Next experiment is stealing a kid to make them go through all the curriculum for grades and one day dropping them into a low-end office position.

Honestly, I’m shit at clicking right buttons at the right time, so I’m biased :)

But other than that, I don’t feel like I’m needed there. My inputs doesn’t change the flow of the kino that much, they are either correct or incorrect, and I’m either allowing it to continue or being a boulder stopping it from going on. GoW, another GoW, Uncharted and now TLoU for me are benchmarks of gfx and user experience possible on next gen consoles, but they aren’t as interactive as old rpgs and sandboxes I am a fan of. And they are gated behind my inability to react when timings are tight. I dropped some games because it wasn’t fun or wasn’t fair. You can google car chases in Yakuza games – and see many people dropping the game because this sequence was unbearable.

For I don’t really hate this mechanic in games, I only really enjoy it when I know it’d follow my input. As I love some heat actions in Yakuza series – after pressing Y with a weapon to start the animation, you know then you are to mash B to bash your enemy’s head against the obstacle repeatedly, and that feels like an organic response to what I press.

I’m fucking drunk rn but I hope I satisfied your curiosity with that wall of text.

As I feel my time wasted playing souls-likes :)

Many genres can be called trash for different reasons, lol. I hate rhytm\reaction games, from dancing and playing instruments to fromsoft titles. It’s just I’m not build to enjoy them. But I love Diablo and would try to explain why.

Besides art direction of old Bliz and Matt Uleman’s OST, I like these series for… them being a task in optimization. Some games like building and management simulators are straightforward about it, but there it only shows in the endgame of diabloids. You are to think of theoretical ways of bettering your build, but also inventing the best way to farm X things in the least time possible to make it. I haven’t topped the ladder too many times for looking up others’ builds and copying them steals half of enjoyment from experimenting with it. It touches the same buttons in me as rewriting code for better performance does, and the only downside is me, a meatbag, executing it line by line, that you called mindless for a reason. I just reiterate through my idea before I see the predicted outcome.

That sort of enjoyment also surfaces in other games, like old shooters and RPGs, where I find ways to abuse the system and benefit from it. It’s a casual version of what speedrunners are into. Finding the best\fastest way to do X, but only for you to test and observe.

TL;DR: I’m no fortune-teller but I feel like they want to change how we perceive and consume Reddit posts: to kill ways of engagement and make you just scroll feed.

I bet they’d add new subscription-based service, something musk-esque, that would promote you to the top of the feed or comment section. In new Reddit there are like a dozen of top comments visible before you tap to show more items. They’d probably be mostly from paid users. Also, no ability to visibly promote others’ posts – it’s bad for PR when something bad gets gold, like advertisements for Lemmy. And, in general, Reddit should (in their vision, imho) be like tiktok, where you just scroll through a queue of curated content – staying in comment section for too long or showing your opinion (with up\downvotes or gold a.k.a superupdoot) is wasting your time while you could as well watch some ads. In this case, killing comments and any kind of active and natural reaction is obvious. As a bonus, there’d be more advertisers, as critique of them won’t get viral and their post won’t get downvoted into hell. Oh, and if their board of managers won’t get booted, downvote button and post stats would be cut next.
