StarvingMartist, do gaming w [Steam Key Giveaway] A Stardew Valley Key to give away

I have it but I would love a key for my fiancée to play with me, we can finally be warring couples with Abigail and Sebastian

Taser,

Give it to this guy. It’s a great reason.

But if you don’t, I wouldn’t mind giving it a try for a few (read: 200) hours 😛

It's been on my list, and I like cozy games… I just never got around to it. And I'm cheap, so unless I noticed it on super sale, I'd put it off until later™️

I dunno why I haven’t played it yet! I keep meaning to but never found an excuse to get it. Thanks for doing this giveaway ❤️

I haven’t gotten a chance yet, as rustc is using 100% CPU & RAM.

rustc made me learn C++

ferric_carcinization,

And C++ compile times made me learn C. You must be jealous that my memory errors & race conditions compile faster than yours.

I didn’t play Stardew valley because I’m scared I’ll get addicted and it will consume all my time, and eventually me as a whole.

Linktank,

Give it to this guy.

ferric_carcinization,

In that case, don’t look up Dwarf Fortress. I’ve also heard good things about Factorio, but I haven’t tried it yet.

Melobol,

Do not try Oxygen Not Included. :)

Not participating, since I already own the game on steam. Just wanted to tell you that it’s very nice of you. Have a wonderful day !

I didn’t play Stardew Valley because YOU made me sign a blood oath that I wouldn’t.

hector, do games w Thank you, Thor! 🥳

I don’t know what happened in details but I really don’t hate him, as a member of the video game industry he has the right to make his voice heard.

I’m still glad consumers won here :)

helpmyusernamewontfi,

If you’re interested in the details: youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo?t=1117

Atomic,

I’m not saying you should hate him. And he absolutely have the right to his own opinion. But what he did is the equivalent of reading a news title, and then go trash talk it in the comments about how awful it is, when the article wasn’t about what you were mad about, at all.

Basically this;

Title: Denmark shuts down 60% of their wind-power

Article: Denmark shuts down 60% of their wind-power, pending an investigation as 1 million birds have died in them over the past 3 months, they are currently assessing the situation and investigating why this change in bird migration route has occurred and how to prevent more deaths. According to local expert, they will use the time to perform maintenance and test various methods of scaring birds away.

PirateSoftware: Denmark are the fucking worst, they shut down tons of wind farms, they are anti renewable, they don’t want wind farms, they realized that they can get cheaper gas, if they import more, and the difference will offset the cost of running and maintaining these wind farms. Where are they getting this gas? Probably Norway, possibly even Russia dude! They can eat my ass, the entire thing. Dried shit in my ass hairs and all.

It actually is the most hilarious of ironies that despite what very real harm Thor might have inflicted upon the early stages of the movement through misinformation/mischaracterization; The fact is, I don’t think this movement would have come near to exploding the way that it has recently if not for the perfect Rube Goldberg machine of drama surrounding this man in the past 6 months.

Seriously. He could not have Barbara Streisand effected the “Stop Killing Games” movement harder if he tried. It really is such poetic justice. It’s a shame that I don’t live in the EU or I would gladly sign the initiate myself. Here’s to hoping that another EU regulation can have sweeping effects for the US. As a reluctant and very jaded US citizen myself, I harbor no illusions about any real and meaningful consumer protection regulations to ever make it over here. Mega-corpos have simply spent far too much money buying out every level of government, legislature, and regulatory bodies that exist.

Europe really is like a strange beacon of hope for US consumers, as odd as that sounds. Fight the good fight for us as well, brothers.

I’m calling it now: Thor is going to eventually say that this was his plan all along.

Joeffect,

I can believe this, if he wasn’t such a narcissist or such a lying douche bag who always has to be right and has something to say about absolutely everything while having a story to go with it…

Then he would be a pretty cool guy…

Some of his advice isn’t actually bad though… I watched him for a bit but the more you watch him the more you see him for who he is…

JustTheWind,

A 5-D Chess move truly beyond comprehension by the mortal mind.

Imagine using a voice changer to sound deeper and cheating in Outer Wilds of all games

UnsavoryMollusk,

I didn’t know about the voice changer and the cheating, am curious now

Iambus, do games w Thank you, Thor! 🥳

To think I actually liked this guy, what an egotistical asshole he really is.

Duamerthrax,

Egotism often translates to charisma and confidence, but falls apart eventually.

Also, a reminder, the “Con” in con-artist is short for confidence.

Nangijala, do games w Thank you, Thor! 🥳

I feel like a tourist on a safari trip with this whole saga. A colleague of mine told me about this situation and now I can’t look away.

When all is said and done, I definitely think it would be a good idea to have game libraries both physical and digital where people can play old games as they stop being profitable to developers.

I have vague memory of there already being such consumer made game libraries for old Gameboy titles back in the 2000s but those sites were taken down. It would be great to have some sort of system in place because this licensing bullshit is exactly why I ended up completely leaving streaming as a whole (for movies and shows) and went back to physical media in january/February of this year. I borrow dvds at the library now. It is fucking fantastic. I had forgotten how much I missed going looking for movies I’d like to see in places like Moby Disc and Blockbuster. It’s so comfy and when you find a movie you’ve never heard of before and you bring it home and it’s really good, it just feels so special.

I think games should have that too. I stopped playing games in 2015 because I just saw no end to having to fork out money all the time to keep up with the tech and getting new titles and gradually seeing how it was more and more an online thing instead of a physical thing so I just stopped. Didn’t like the direction games were taking. Seems like it is reaching a breaking point finally.

Libraries are so important for culture.

Just remember that we still need more signatures on the EU one, to rule out bot and incorrect signatures.

tetris11,

EU one requires an ID/passport, UK one doesn’t – I’d argue that the EU one is safe and the UK one should get more attention on the validitiy

ClamDrinker,

Ross explained it in his last video - there are reasons to be skeptical and unsure if it’s truly there until at least 1.4 mil signatures. And more votes is never bad. So both need more attention. If it reaches people in the EU it will also reach those in the UK.

tetris11,

gotta summary? I don’t wanna watch a vid

ClamDrinker,

There’s always just people that mess up on the form. But they also monitor the sign rate and saw some periods of higher than normal signing in the middle of the night in the EU - indicating someone might have ran a bot to sign with invalid information. The EU only validates the signatures once the petition is closed, so they need a safe margin where even with a significant amount of invalid signatures, they still make it. Afaik 1.2 mil is about what they would expect for a normal vote of this size to be safe, and 1.4 mil is basically more than enough to compensate for any bad actors.

tetris11,

The EU only validates the signatures once the petition is closed

Ah, makes sense - thanks for this

The type of verification depends on the country and some don’t have any verification at signing. I’m Swedish and when I signed I just filled out a form, no checks of any kind.

KyuubiNoKitsune,

Time for the EU to adopt FrejaID

Opisek,

EU is actively working on the EU Wallet and certain sources tell me it is getting there.

I actually do not know who that is. Some YouTuber?

BlackPenguins,

Just know he’s someone who wants you to eat his entire ass.

jsomae, do games w Thank you, Thor! 🥳

How about let’s all not talk or make angry memes about the guy. Ross requested that he not be harassed. Something about not wanting negative energy.

Randomgal,

It’s not about Ross, it’s about sending a message.

TheGreenWizard,

I doubt he’ll ever use Lemmy to be honest, but I get what you mean.

jsomae,

Since what happens on Lemmy stays on Lemmy, I guess it must be fine.

TheGreenWizard,

I said I get what you mean.

DreamlandLividity,

I’m not gonna go out of my way to review bomb his game or send him messages or at him on twitter. But I am not gonna stop calling him a narcisistic idiot whenever the topic comes up. People should know. That is not harassment, that is countering misinformation, at least IMO. A meme like this is not harassment in my book either. He is a public figure.

Ross is not my dad

jsomae,

yeah but he’s a daddy tho 😘

mriswith,

One of the big reasons many people are “okay” with making fun of him. Is that he could basically make it all go away if he just admitted he was wrong.

The whole thing stems from him being so full of himself that he cannot admit any fault, ever. He has been objectively proven wrong many times on several different topics, there are a lot of situations that heavily indicate misconduct, etc. And he literally went on a stream with a licensed psychiatrist who tried to explain some of his faults. To which he laughed and said “Okay, don’t see it that way, but alright”.

At the end of the day, he seems almost incapable of admitting that he ever did or said anything wrong. So people keep making fun of him, since he’s objectively proven wrong repeatedly.

waggz,

If you’re not familiar with it, check out his classic wow hardcore drama. He’s absolutely incapable of admitting any fault. And he and his mods just ban anyone immediately if they try to have a discussion.
