The poorly designed feature itself isn’t about showing ads, it’s just showing the top item of the news feed. The news feed can have ads, depending on what the developer publishes to it, which is why I never scroll down to that section.

Heh. If you’re so smart, why did you make a typo? I’m not going to listen to an idiot who doesn’t know the difference between <word you typed> and <word you clearly meant>.

You’ve got to be on constant alert or your phone’s autocorrect changing lets to let’s at the wrong time will derail the entire conversation.

It would be interesting to see the Supreme Court try to enforce that on the person who has the ability to suspend habeas corpus and have them all arrested.

The description in the post mentions that they canceled it.

Since I got covid last year, I haven’t been able to drink any brand of cola. It has a weird gross flavor that I guess could be described as being bitter. I would never have described it as bitter before and I think most people wouldn’t either.

I agree with you, but using Final Fantasy XIV is a weak example. Steam is one of the smallest platforms it’s on, with most PC players using the non-steam launcher.

As an MMO, it also has the benefit of players being able to see a ton of other people when they log in and the fan base talks about it enough that you never get that “whatever happened to that game” feeling.

Honestly, I think it’s that last thing that drives most of the dead game talk. Some games come out with tons of hype and then you stop hearing about it as much. Instead of looking up what’s going on, people just assume it flopped and no one plays anymore. Or it’s a game they wish had failed and by saying dead game they are trying to will that belief into existence, depends on the context.

It did have multiplayer. You could fight your friends if you used a Game Link.

I have a hard time imagining anyone thought that a game for a handheld console that didn’t have an internet connection would use the internet.

Mega Man was a physical robot in the original games. In Battle Network, he was now an AI in a computer and you sent him to do battle with enemy AI and viruses on networks in the game.

The thing that got me was the lighting. I’ve been camping and you just can’t get a good photo of your tent fire. Not as well lit as this at least.

Men can generally do more power moves than women because of a difference in upper body strength. This makes it tough to have mixed gender head-to-head competitions. B-girls using power moves at all is a rather recent development to the scene.

B-boy and B-girl is the term breakers like, so I would expect them to fight hard against changing that.

I wonder if where you have your account affects how you notice where the trolls are from? Like I don’t notice trolls coming from .world much because I just see a username, where a troll from .ml is username@lemmy.ml.

Yeah, I didn’t have a problem reading it. The most awkward part was the weird comparison to Big Ben. The wrong “there” was the first thing to make me pause and then I saw the joke.

You can’t just ignore the second part of that sentence which gives the right to make commits to all citizens of earth. That would include the person who wrote the last commit.

But if stupid Americans can use the “difficult” system, it can’t be too hard.

I think about this whenever I see someone complain about how Fahrenheit is arbitrary and how are you supposed to remember that water freezes at 32° and boils at 212°. I guess American brains are just able to retain more.
