It heralds from Jabber, for when you wanted to indicate to peers that you are responding in chat about something. However it is Machiavellian social engineering (2×🔗) meant to decipher your stylometry, which data analyst brokers (2×🔗) corporations like pisscorp and valve enjoy to exploit.

A technique I used to use for when I used פיסכורפ was to use a text editor to type out my message, then copy&paste. Now I just use slidcord at my convenience, and will use a scraper&archiver soon™ to export stuff in communities I want to maliciously extrapolate. 🖕 Network Effected folks. Aint scanlating on JASRAC friendly snitches.

MurrayL,

It’s kind of impressive that you managed to squeeze in so many links to references but without including any that actually back up the accusation you’re making.

AntiBullyRanger,

For Valve, or Pisscorp? Unless you mean Leviathan Scans.

Neva is nice if you can pick it up for less than $5.

The combat in Dungeons of Hinterberg bored me really quickly, but it's also a Zelda-like, so if you don't mind the basic combat, maybe give it a shot.

Tenderizer78,

I pick up all games on sale, basically. Neva especially I probably won’t get unless it goes down to $5.

Dungeons of Hinterberg is in my “only because they have demo” folder. I’m not a huge fan of combat in games partly because combat as a gameplay mechanic is conceptually uninspired and partly just because I don’t really get the thrill. Dungeon’s of Hinterberg seems like a story thing first and foremost though.

mohab,

Like in any game period? Big claim and you're probably not interested in backing it up, but I'm curious.

IDK, trailer had a good deal of combat—just thought to give you a heads up in case you care about the combat.

Tenderizer78,

Nothing major, just that combat is the default mode of operation for most games, especially AAA games. So I generally trend away from games that are built around combat.

I’ll play the demo eventually, so I’ll probably find out how I feel then.

BF1 is still one of the most beautiful FPS games ever

Check out The Finals! It's made by a bunch of ex-DICE devs who went and founded Embark Studios. Totally different vibe from Battlefield, but it still has the environment destruction and fine-tuned gunplay they've always been good at.

Have you considered that you don’t have to send a full message when you mistype?

People know that happens

Why are you not fighting for this?

I really don’t think that qualifies as pedantic

Hey, just be happy you’re not in ICQ.

It has a port master version as well. It's a really fun game. Very well done.

Why is everyone here gaslighting OP as if this isn’t a valid privacy concern? It’s completely valid. Other messaging services allow you to disable typing indicators and message receipts. Even Google messages offers this. So yea, I’m with OP on this one.

It’s weird that Lemmy is super concerned with privacy yet shits on people for stuff like this. Good jobs guys. Really making Lemmy shine here.

Adalast,

Agree, but let’s not dilute the meaning of “gaslighting”. That word has a VERY specific definition and it had been getting used in inappropriate contexts so much that that very specific and necessary definition is being lost. It refers to a specific abusive behavior pattern which needs a good and concrete word to communicate it. My teen stepdaughter had it in her head that us educating her on the world was “gaslighting”, which is dangerous because she had the “gaslighting bad” reaction to things that were not gaslighting, and it is not limited to her. There is a concerted effort on the part of some political groups to break and weaponize the definitions of things like gaslighting and manipulation, we need to work to make sure it is not successful.

No one is gaslighting. And no one is saying it’s not a valid concern. Just that the expectation to explain yourself is not valid.

I know this one is a bit late, but I am hearing buzz about this game but it doesn’t seem like we’ve discussed this one here. “Rocket League without cars” is the tongue-in-cheek description i’ve heard, essentially getting at the idea that this is a soccer/football game with a lot of style that is also more accessible to people that aren’t football nuts.

Microsoft will be a publisher only. The problem with XBOX circa 2010 onward is they followed every trend and abandoned it.

I got one of those Anbernic emulation devices and I’ve been quite into Secret of Mana (a game I could never finish the 30-odd years of restarting it countless times).

Also replaying Dishonored. IDK why, just feel like going through the series (I did not like the second one and gave up after a few hours when it came out).
