I guess. I never had nor will ever pay for premium, but isn’t there premium content? How’s that any different than paying for patreon videos of content creators? YouTube just consolidated it.

The year of half life 2

Oh. Maybe if I read the criteria of being on that list before just indulging in it I would have understood. Thanks.

I guess. And you might be right. But the end goal of enshittifying everything is going to bottle out into unusable tech and the death of innovation.

Man why is did the list go so thin in the later years? Straight up nothing for 2021?

Lol why are you getting down voted? Jeez lemmy users are sensitive about paying for an entertainment service.

I really don’t think they understand this… If an ad starts playing on YouTube I just turn it off and see why my ad blocker isn’t working. If it doesn’t work I simply don’t watch the video. I had no desire to switch to Firefox because Chrome was just working for me, but then it didn’t work. There’s no way in hell I’m sitting here with my adhd addled brain, with my 4 year old phone in my hands watching for 30 seconds why I need a brand new acura.

The only time I’ve ever willingly watched an ad was tiktok. Because they know I can simply swipe and skip it, but sometimes the sponsored content is creative and entertaining.

Imagine taking the technical and stubborn creme of the crop redditors and that’s who’s mostly on lemmy. It used to be those who wanted an open source community, but it got it’s user bumps during the reddit exodus. I would have never heard of lemmy if it wasn’t for the fact I used reddit exclusively through the redditsync app. And when that shut down I came here naturally on the backbone of the developer going here.

I’ve been here since. The community isn’t bad. I still get responses on niche things like gardening and fish tank related issues I had. It’s just 3 comments vs 30. But somehow it’s better. Because on reddit I can’t even get a post posted half the time, and the other half I find out I’m banned from that sub because of a comment I made years ago on a completely unrelated post on a sub I don’t even know.

I’m not sure how the game engine can incorporate such fine detailed mechanics. It almost seems like it’ll have to be reworked from the ground up, with only the assets being maintained.

I mean half life alyx’s entire mechanics revolve around VR controls.

The last panel is from a comical arrest of a gentleman.

I don’t think any country in the world has been in the position America is in. Similar sure, but not the bastion of wealth and power, with a stubborn population. There would be a civil war before they remove democracy. It’s more likely that elections will be a front to the fascist seats of power. The elections aren’t going away. What they mean is a different story.

You can argue American elections have meant nothing either.

Yes. Yes there will be. Even if everyone who voted for Trump is OK with it if you think the rest of America is just going to be ok with dismantling elections you’re being irrational.

Found the OSRS player.

I was wondering why people were leaving the offices today ask solemn. Turned out the 2 floors above me were leased by firewalk. More room for the other gaming studio we’re building out who was sub leasing them I guess.

Not a good dream it still read as a nightmare lol

Yeah metro is good. My name is Artem so when I listened to the audio book it felt like I was reading a dream.

Oh shoot why were they discontinued?

Someone needs to create a business that bails out/buys excellent quality products and produces them in a small enough scale that only new owners will need.

Consider it an excellent achievement for a product to make it here. Only the best buy it for life products.
