Nice!
Incidentally, that logo color matches perfectly with the color theme (Arc Boost) I’ve been using for the website:

I was confused about the amount of upvotes, until I saw this was on .ml

Do you mean that the app should render them in a special way? My Voyager isn’t doing anything.

Remembering how Subset Games is notoriously anti-mobile I looked into it. Turns out, as usual, they did not intend to release a mobile port, just like with FTL. They have an FTL iPad port, but refused to release an Android port due to piracy concerns, claiming it wasn’t worth the effort to bother with the port. But Netflix approached them and sponsored the mobile ports for Into the Breach. In other words, if not for Netflix, the game would not have been playable on mobile at all. This likely applies to all the other Netflix exclusive games, they don’t buy licenses, they sponsor the ports.

And even if they were just buying licenses and making games available only through Netflix, then go complain to the game devs, not Netflix. Devs are the ones who agreed to it when they were offered money.

Never used Prime, so can’t comment.

Hmm, didn’t know that one was exclusive to Netflix. It’s not a universal thing or a rule, cause San Andreas Definitive Edition, for example, is available for purchase for $20. Probably depends on what the game publisher agreed to.

I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. It’s just an extra that you have for “free”, not a dedicated gaming subscription. I also live in Europe and my Netflix is cheap, so I will have the subscription by default (cause a lot of people in my family watch it), which means I get to try the games for free. You can always just go buy them if you want, from the store.

Thank you very much!

Can’t say I’m not glad this happened. 196 was the only community I was banned from (permanently) and thus couldn’t vote or comment on good chunk of top posts.

I have been doing calculus the entire day nonstop in preparation to fail my tomorrow’s test and my brain is totally fried. I came back to see a completely new sub dominating the top and I can’t parse what and why has happened. Can somebody please briefly explain using very small words?

Long comments*.

Happy 🍰 day.

I gotta say, it’s really gracious of the mod to only ban you for 3 months. Usually it’s a perma-ban.

I once saw a comment on Hexbear about it being racist to call Xi Winnie the Pooh. I got confused and asked why would that be racist. I got laughed at for not seeing that he’s clearly called that because Pooh is yellow, which is also a derogatory term for asians. And this never even crossed my mind until then, I always assumed he’s called that cause he literally looks like Pooh and wears red (figuratively). Are they reaching or am I wrong?

What is usually the case?
I’m saying that the mod is being too ridiculous to actually be serious, they must be trolling.

Also, the school system was supposed to teach me critical thinking?! I thought that’s what video games were for…

I’m having a very hard time believing this isn’t ironic.

Plot twist: The mod is from US and just proving their point.

Where did I say “government does stuff”? If a service is provided not for profit, funded by the community and is otherwise not privately owned, it’s socialist. It needs to be for-profit and/or privately owned to be capitalist.

Arguably, The US does have several socialist policies, albeit implemented very badly. For instance, public education. Does capitalism stick its grubby fingers into it from every possible angle? Yes. But at its core it has collective funding through taxes (therefore owned/controlled by the state), universal access, and the prioritization of public welfare over profit (at least on paper). Those principles are strictly socialist and not capitalist.

It’s not about strictly “owning”, it’s about controlling. Control can be achieved in many different ways, including, but not limited to regulations. Socialism is an economic system, of which you can implements certain parts.
I didn’t say “social policies”. Socialist policies are a more specific subset of social policies, so all socialist policies are social policies, but not all social policies are socialist.
Regarding the European countries’ degree of being socialist, it of course depends on the country. But on average, you might be right, and perhaps using “equally” was an exaggeration.

Lots of people on Lemmy forget that the choice between Capitalism and Socialism isn’t binary. Country picks individual policies that are capitalist or socialist in nature. All of the modern countries are a combination of both. Even USA has certain socialist policies. Most of Europe is roughly equally capitalist and socialist.
It’s just making a character build and picking perks. Capitalist policies aren’t bad (for the general public) by default. Depending on how and which ones are implemented, they can be beneficial to everybody.

And yet, lots of people choose not to do what they hate for money. Obviously, if you can get paid well for doing what you love is a win-win, but the point of my argument is that a lot of people don’t really care about money, beyond having enough to get by.
