When people try to pin me for talking to 'X', I tell them well I've also talked to communist trannies -- but that doesn't make me either a tranny or a communist.
Sounds like this city slicker ain't familiar with Pleroma, is he?
Never mind Mastodon's creator being a big baby and sour kraut.
@sun I knew all those accounts with swastika emojis in their name were just controlled opposition.
It's like... great dude, you found some woke accounts on the fediverse. Shame you're missing the best part.

I think he was cancelled in the early masto wave from twitter, so he likely never heard of it.
@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world I'm not sure what you mean. rms just seems like the usual rms to me, he doesn't talk about woke.
Gaben I have no idea because I don't closely follow gaben because I'm not interested in the opinions of a former Microsoft employee that owns the world's largest DRM platform.
@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world That's just physical appearance, but is Gaben yelling about woke now?
@hj@shigusegubu.club @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world Isn't jesus christ the holy father and santa claus the same thing? Sorry I'm not really into the Bible fandom.
also this cracker obviously only been to troon/safespace instances, never been called a slur.... until now.
@asa@shitposter.world @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world That's always been the case. Nothing new.
@sun@shitposter.world @asa@shitposter.world @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz Yeah I can't really criticize the way Valve works internally because I do think that most of their games don't feel limited in a creative way at least, unlike more traditionally organized companies.
@hj@shigusegubu.club @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world I don't really care about the inner divides among the fandom.
@asa@shitposter.world @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world Have you played Deadlock?
@asa@shitposter.world @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world No, it's actually just third person Dota 2.
If you're gonna go into it with the mindset that it's like Overwatch, you're gonna have a bad time.
@sun That man looks terrified that someone in the house is going to find his piss jar collection.
Then at the end of the year or something a random person from the company is assigned to review your work, and your peers vote on whether you should be fired or promoted or hanged or given a bonus.
This is my understanding of Valve.
just like Super Monday Night Combat and Battleborn before it. Let's see if it fails or not.
@hj@shigusegubu.club @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world @asa@shitposter.world Except unlike all the other games that failed in this genre Deadlock is very likely going to do well because it is actually a really well designed game.
t. battleborn trauma
t. smnc disdain
t. overwatch trauma
sry I will stop now
@mer@shrine.moe @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world I do not like comparing the man who invented freedom to the man who popularized DRM.
@asa@shitposter.world @hj@shigusegubu.club @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world I never got into Artifact because I don't like TCGs in general, but from what I heard from Artifact players was that Artifact was actually a pretty decent TCG but Valve just killed it due to lack of updates and such.
One very good aspect of Deadlock is that it's a new setting or as other people call it, new IP
Individual projects might be different though.
I understand the sentiment of not wanting to introduce new people into a group that is doing well currently.
I think the reason why the game died is because the concept of having three tables per game you are playing simultaneously is just confusing and not fun.
@hj@shigusegubu.club @asa@shitposter.world @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world Everyone forgot about Underlords because nobody played it in the first place, unlike Artifact.
@sun āFacebook is wokeā tell that to all the conspiracy theorists who believe Trump was sent by god to fight the anti-christ
@asa @SuperDicq @lucy @sun ānew age-yā they just never created a formal hierarchy since the olden days when they could actually be a flat org because there were only like 10 people
@SuperDicq @lucy @sun I donāt think Gaben has ever said anything political, unless you count the stuff about Microsoft from 2013 when he announced Steam coming to Linux
overall heās still the same as he has been for as long as heās been in the games space, just, yāknow, older
@Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world The most political thing Gaben ever said was when he said "Single-player games are like a feature film where your lead actor is retarded and autistic"
@hj @SuperDicq @lucy @sun actually santa claus and saint nicholas are only the same in some versions, in Romania, for example, theyāre distinct entities
@SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer DRM goes back far before Valve or Steam, and, if nothing else, Steam was one of the first ones that didnāt fucking suck for the player unlike what came before, things like StarForce that outright broke your hardware
@hj @SuperDicq @lucy @sun that got burried 12ft under with the revolution of ā89 in Romania, instead weāve had āOld Man Christmasā since then
@sun@shitposter.world @Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @mer@shrine.moe
you can choose not to use DRM for your game.Depends on your definition of DRM. I'm still can't download the "DRM-free" game I purchased without installing the Steam client first.
you need the steam client to buy a game *from* steam anyway so DLing it shouldnt be an issue
@mer@shrine.moe @Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world You don't need the Steam client to buy a game on Steam. You can buy a game on the a website.
@mer@shrine.moe @Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world GOG is seriously better in this regard because while they have the GOG Galaxy client is is fully optional and they simply allow you to download your games in a zip file on the website.
@SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer āin a zip fileā oh if only, instead they have their shitty installers that donāt even have a GUI on Linux anymore because they depend on GTK2
@Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world @mer@shrine.moe Depends on the game, they sometimes have shitty installers indeed.
their shitty installers that donāt even have a GUI on Linux anymore because they depend on GTK2Your distro doesn't have GTK2? What the fuck are you using?
@SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer it does have gtk2 in the repos, but what the fuck even is there to have it installed on most peopleās systems? and imagine if youāre someone who doesnāt know you can also run the installer in a terminal without the GUI, then you just see the installer not starting and think itās completely broken
@Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world @mer@shrine.moe Personally with proprietary crap like this I expect it to have weird unexpected dependencies to be honest. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Most people already have GTK2 installed anyway. There are lots of free software applications that still require GTK2. GIMP is a very common one that comes to mind for example.
The Steam client contains a lot more bullshit than the GOG installers do actually.
@Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world @mer@shrine.moe I agree that would be nice to have if GOG at least told users that GTK2 is a requirement on the download page.
@SuperDicq @Reiddragon @lucy @sun @mer Well you can also just unzip/bsdtar xvf the thing and so avoid running their code. (Or innoextract for the Windows ones)
@lanodan @SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer except for the part where innoextract canāt always make sense of them, and even when it does make sense of the installer, youāre often times left with a mess of files to figure out yourself
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world @mer@shrine.moe If I'm running proprietary garbage anyway I personally don't really care if I have to fire up Wine or Proton either.
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @sun@shitposter.world @mer@shrine.moe Yeah of course that isn't a usecase that the original developers thought about.
@sun X shitter and Truth are both Nazi trashbins on fire lol. They are not in any position to tell others anything
