I insist that this is nowhere near the same as actual gambling with skins on slots and such. Those are much much worse.

Ah gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. I’d argue reselling of accounts is nowhere near as bad as skin gambling though. It doesn’t trigger the gambling addicts.

I know you mean the general gambling of loot boxes, but no, I meant, literal gambling on 3rd party s(h)ites. CS2 skin gambling. Which iirc most other games are not doing.

The dark open secret here is that counterstrike (and potentially dota) made the most money due to being used as a vehicle for gambling

Thats very cool. It brings to mind some sort of espionage where spies are exchanging massive messages contained in 2 numbers. The index and the Metadata length. All the other spy has to do is pass it though pifs to decode. Maybe adding some salt as well to prevent someone figuring it out.

That male orgasm was painful. I got this idea from seeing their o-face somewhere and assuming it indicated pain.

Ye I already have the CI to build. I just want a simple CI task to publishes to flathub.

Someone just provide us a github ci workflow, goddamn!

These live service games are the “wow-killer” mmorpg of our age. Companies wasted likewise millions on those games and burnt out thousands of people, just trying to make their own golden goose. It keeps happening because Capitalism sucks

Anyone remember technorati? What about the nethernet? Ah that brings me back…

What’s “ice breakers”?

Gotcha. I am not that familiar with the lingo :)

That sounds a bit concerning, ngl >_<

Damn mate, that’s really rough. I did see recently how US companies are taking advantage of the made-up scarcity to scalp people with ADHD to the point where the black market is more affordable. I only you know what you’re doing vis-a-vis risks from tainted batches.

I used to love chewing gum until a dentist scared me away from it. As a result, my undiagnosed grinding destroyed most of my teeth…

I fully expect companies would switch to releasing some bullshit and call the DLC released.

FYI when you request a guarantee, you can specify another instance to solicit a guarantee from. They will get a PM to inform them.

Generally getting people to guarantee for others consistently has been the biggest struggle on fediseer >_<

It’s been out for the past year. It’s all word of mouth but a lot of instances have fediseer badges to draw attention to it.

I don’t even think you need even a bot for that. Just grab the relevant RSS

This is completely unsurprising tbh. A lot of the old mods were enthusiasts who grew a community from scratch due to their love for the subject. In the reddit API shutdown, a lot of those mods left in disgust, or were replaced by the reddit admins, or were driven off by the leftover toxic userbase calling them “entitled jannies” or whatever. A lot of the mods who took over their place were just power-hungry users who were chomping at the bit to get the chance to run a big community as their personal fiefdom because they were too toxic to grow one themselves.

This is the inevitable culmination of these events.

Anyway, welcome to lemmy. We become more powerful from every user who writes off reddit forever.
