Uhh the game looks awesome from what the trailer shows. I want to play it, and I’m already hyped for it. The combat also looks better than what it was in Horizon 1.

I honestly don’t care if they just copy games like this. I’m too tired of awesome concepts & IPs being completely misused & wasted by game publishers.

I’m hoping Tencent wins this one, because I wanna play the game. If they do win, I bet “Monster Hunter x Horizon + conventionally attractive characters” would sell like hotcakes.

Pretty sure christians get lots of hate on Reddit too. If you want a christian echo chamber just go to a church, not internet social media.

Edit: to be honest, a lot of us are on the internet just to get away from religious people.

Lack of diversity, imo.

If you’re (edit)NOT(/edit) into Star Trek, Linux, coding, or politics there’s not that much content. Which isn’t gonna attract too many new people, and is probably alienating to many of the new users checking out the fediverse.

I hate the ads & the Reddit app, but Lemmy feels like more of an echo chamber than Reddit does.

Is that not just “trying to fit in”?

The deregulation & lack of inspections is probably so that the people don’t have as many legitimate reasons to demand higher pay.

If it means developers won’t make “live-service”/trash games anymore, we should hasten the SKG movement.

I definitely agree with you, but I remember how Digg & then Reddit both went to shit once the masses started to use them. Same with Facebook.

I feel like if we all spread out between multiple platforms, none will become big enough for the enshitification to hit them.

I disagree. Things seem to get worse when the herds move to them. It’s as if things are good precisely because they aren’t there.

Toyota didn’t start out making cars. Does that mean they shouldn’t have started making cars?

Yes, DoorDash got its start delivering food, but that doesn’t mean they are restricted to that permanently.

And yes, I recognize that electronics are expensive, but that’s why I said to press charges on the delivery driver. DoorDash & BestBuy didn’t steal the package, even if they are being lazy about their delivery protocol.

But…

If we have enough evidence of instances where DoorDash drivers steal with impunity… we should be able to start a class action lawsuit against DoorDash since they are basically being negligent.

Well BestBuy would be like 95% off the hook. You’re gonna just let Rick & the boys off the hook? Unless BestBuy is running an op with Rick & the boys, it’s Rick & the boys that stole your shit.

If it keeps happening, and BestBuy keeps using Rick & the boys, then they’d be 100% liable because of negligence.

I think it’s a balancing act. We definitely do it to an unhealthy degree currently, but we need to do it to some degree. It would be just as unhealthy for anyone to come into your house at any time because why not?

Kinda missed my point. It’s the driver’s choice to steal.

Some people are gonna be thieves even if you give them that help. Still others will take advantage of you for having the heart to help.

Some people are thieves no matter the socioeconomic factors.

Yeah, I definitely agree that they should be required to do the due diligence when it comes to hiring their delivery personnel.

I can definitely agree that BestBuy & DoorDash are on the chopping block for negligence, but they aren’t the ones who stole your laptop.

In a better, and perhaps idealistic, world DoorDash would be a perfectly acceptable & respectable option for BestBuy to contract for deliveries. And even in that better world, the driver is still the real criminal; fellow working class or not.

Justice should fuck everyone that needs to get fucked; whether they are a big fish or a small fish.

I used to do Postmates, and I used to get these kinds of deliveries. I’m not trying to defend BestBuy or DoorDash. This is entirely on the driver. I never even thought about stealing people’s expensive electronics, and I would text or call the customer to ask where they wanted me to leave the package.

I would send the evidence to the police & file criminal charges against the driver.

Still, you should hassle the corpos, but don’t forget that the driver is the real criminal here.

Oops, my bad. Thanks. It’s been corrected.

Federated social media is decentralized, so one single jackass can’t control it completely.

Like, maybe Elon Musk buys pawb.social, he now controls pawb.social & can be a tyrant in pawb.social just like he has been with Twitter.

He still can’t control quokk.au, or lemmy.world, or feddit.org, or lemmy.ca, or lemmy.dbzer0.com, or lemmy.blahaj.zone, etc.

And in the extremely unlikely event that if Elon does manage to buy pawb.social, it is extremely likely that many lemmy servers would just defederate from pawb.social & leave pawb.social isolated from the rest of the fediverse.

Or good
