Fallout London's project lead is not taking the surprise drop of Fallout 4's update well: 'That has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over'
  • I used to run a popular mod that made an indie beta game even more popular. Guess who almost all of the final testers were before release? My whole team. We were clearly the most devoted people to the game and knew best how to break it. It was nice to get a head-start on our new mod (which we pivoted to be the equivalent of Steam Workshop or an app store before those existed). Of course, the creator became a dickwad years later and we all ended the mod and the game is dead.

  • When will Mickey Mouse enter the public domain?
  • Temporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it's temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they're competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.

  • It's been a long old dusty road
  • When I went to my first rodeo they had a long delay because the bull refused to exit the arena. I had to say to strangers, "This is literally my first rodeo, is this normal?" Got a lot of laughs. It is apparently not normal.

  • High heels: clop clop clop clop clop
  • I (male) had a pair of dress shoes that sounded a bit like high heels. You notice a lot of dudes turn their heads (or try to be more sneaky about looking) when your shoes make that noise. They were not stoked to see me instead.

    How do you all carry so little?
  • Use food knives for cutting food? If you find a situation where you are caught unexpectedly without another knife for apples and cheese... Break the apple and/or cheese in half (easy) and use your mouth. Nobody will be impressed if you bust out a PK for the charcuterie board. Especially when they see guys like my old roommate use it to pick their toe-jam moments before using it for food. Or carry a separate knife for food in your bag. I find it unlikely that you had an apple or hunk of cheese in your pocket instead of your bag.

  • Way too much shit in that wallet. Cut it down to bare essentials, put everything else in a 2nd wallet in the bag (and scan in reward card barcodes to an OS wallet or 3rd party app on your phone). Get rid of the keys that you don't use daily and put them in the bag.

  • Happened again
  • The main thing I've noticed is that Republicans have a much deeper bench than Dems. Too many younger Dems give up on leadership tracks because the old guard just won't step aside. Fucking sad.

  • I like the interface, and have been a user of the reddit version for years...
  • Also using Sync. The thing is, I'm sick and tired of being told how I should need to interact with something. This isn't an argument against FOSS at all btw. I also pay a non-FOSS one-man-shop for my RSS reader.

    My main thing is I want to bend the web to my preferences instead of the other way around. If devs like this are going out of their way to do that I'm going to make it worth their while.

    Shit, I even pay the guy who keeps the Chumby servers alive. Just so I can have a flash-baswd Star Trek themed clock face active on my nightstand.

  • Your comment implied that folks need to pay $100 to use the app. Only $20 lets a user disable ads and any tracking associated. Otherwise if someone wants to try it or just doesn't feel like paying they can use it for free with the potential to get a Google ad in their scroll.

  • Lemmy is slowly getting better
  • Yeah, but it's a really weird libertarian thing where everybody feels like they're an expert in their field and also everyone else's. It's a lot more fun to have in my RSS feeds since I realized that.
