Yeah, it’s like they are creating a GOG seal for games that are basically only available because of the special work that GOG does.

sorry i don’t know star trek, so i do not know who this woman is (fake nerd, i know). reverse image search only narrowed it down to star trek, and there are too were too many different star trek shows to figure it out without extensive research. please feel free to impress the class below with your star trek knowledge.

It doesn’t load in my Lemmy app, but confirmed it does work in a browser.

This ain’t a photo of my own chonks. your beanbag is probably the better choice. my own cats prefer a papasan chair and a window ledge, respectively. lol

here’s a link if you want to see the comic in full-size: https://nitter.poast.org/pic/orig/media%2FGcMV-uEWsAAKKN8.jpg

For the chonks, of course

Counterpoint: both of those ideas being patented meant no competitor could use them while the ideas were relevant. And in both cases, the patenting company made like one promising example of the patented idea and then barely used it after that. Wouldn’t it have been better for consumers if we could have had loading screen minigames back when long loading screens were still relevant?

I completely agree. In my memory the third panel doesn’t exist.

well no, actually. I was referring to the liberals who sat at home during Trump’s first presidency while children were being separated from their families and locked up in cages.

The three patents—all filed in Japan between May and July 2024—draw similarities between Palworld and 2022’s 2022’s Pokémon Legends: Arceus specifically. Their descriptions concern game mechanics like “riding an object” or throwing a ball to capture and possess a character in virtual spaces.

Wait…so the patents didn’t even exist when Palworld was released into EA? or am I missing something?

Who is this article targeting?

That’s what has kept my partner on x. They also go on way less frequently than they used to, but there’s still some fandom stuff that is only there.

Paradox posted this the other day: https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/cities-skylines-ii/news/traffic-breach-statement

I think it’s just called “Traffic”? It’s still early days for CS2 mods, not that weird for a mod to have such a generic name.

qualified due to autism? You have not explicitly said your reasons for seeking MAID, and whatever they are, I’m sure that you know what you are doing. I just want you to know that I believe autistic people are one of greatest natural gifts that the world has given us. Y’all have a gift to see the world in a refreshingly-different way from everyone else, and there are many autistic folks in my life that I love dearly. Many of them have survived some very dark phases in their lives, where everything seemed hopeless, and yet today they are the happiest people I know.

Whatever you end up doing, I just want you to know that I believe your existence is a treasure to this world, and many others do as well. But I don’t know anything about the rest of your situation, and I respect whatever you decide to with your own life.

Ugh i had no clue and this makes me so sad to hear, you are such a cornerstone for this community I can’t speak to all of the ways that you have “served” over the years, but your service here has not gone unnoticed. I don’t pray, but i’m holding you in my thoughts today ❤

thank you.

This sort of thing is actually terrifying for Democrats. A lot of the people that voted yes for this also voted for Trump. Clearly, for some reason, Americans are starting to believe that Dems aren’t the only party that will guarantee abortion access. This was one of the Dems’ most reliably popular platform positions in recent elections.

we don’t talk about him

Thanks for assuming you know everything about me and what I am about. I voted for Harris. But unlike you, I respect the decision of people who didn’t, because genocide is a pretty fucking fair red line to draw. If both sides are advocating genocide, I can respect that someone might feel like the entire American project is failed and fascism will be essentially the same. I am not trans, but I have talked to trans people in my life who were extremely committed to withholding their vote until like, this week. They knew they were potentially sacrificing their own rights, but voting for self-preservation felt selfish when entire cities are being wiped out by Israel. Ultimately, everyone I personally know in that camp decided to hold their nose and vote for Harris.

But go on assuming things about your allies and sowing division, I guess. It won’t help anything, but whatever makes you feel better about Trump winning.

you just have zero empathy for people with busier lives than you? what about people that work a full-time job while caretaking for an ill parent and maybe also raising kids? people that can barely find time to sleep? it was Harris’s job to find a way to reach those people, and convince them to make time to vote. she didn’t.
