I mean, its a news article posted to a news forum. And if we look at the comments the parent comments for the top 7 threads are:

-unrelated anecdote -praose for the idea behind the festival -something removed (probably some random racist shit). Notably the child comments seem to call out the original sentiment. -a request for more info -tangential conversation about what defines a “major incident”

• the classic “OMG wtf”
• a comment likening this to another “needle panic”

I don’t know if your issue is with the content or the reactions but I don’t see how either points to the issues with social media. It’s a bit sensationalist and some of the comments arent exactly thought provokers, but there’s nothing (that I can see) that screams “social media bad”

TBf they’ve cnanged a bunch since then, even still all they’ve really done is limited the PvP aspects.

If you love the PvE aspect of the game, then you aren’t missing anything in safe seas

I hate articles which are just “we watched this youtube video and here are our notes”

Here’s the link to the original creators video, it’s well worth a watch:

Because just having two characters with the exact same lines is boring, Gerry has had 3 games now, I want to explore someone else as a character, with new motivations, character flaws etc

I don’t know how true it is these days, but it used to be Crossfit

They aren’t crap at all, stop projecting your opinion as fact.

At worst they’re niche, but provide tangible and easily understandable benefits that you might not care about that others love. That’s like me hating on the newest Samsungs camera, just because I personally don’t value mobile photography.

Your complaints about durabilitu are pretty tied these days, the technology has improved a lot and you can realistically be as careless as you can with any other cell phone. There are valid concerns , such as Samsungs issue with hairline cracking along the hinge, but you can stop parroting points addressed over the past 5 years now.

I forgot about Chinese balloons lol, did anything ever come about after that one was shot down by the Americans?

I read that as SMBC and was ready to throw down in their defense

Thanks for that I forgot they had released a whole new game in between, hopefully winter sale has a decent deal and I can give it a crack

I haven’t actually tried mhw on stead deck, does it run well? I bought the game (having never played one before) on a whim and fun with it for a few hours, seems like a great handheld game if it runs ok

What do you mean? Having three seperate settings buttons with options divvyed between them makes perfect sense

Well that explains the smell!

(I know very little about Europe or New Jersey)

Just gotta start them yourself and hope for the best! Im lucky that the two communities I cared most about are here, and I only had to make one which is slowly gaining traction. It’s slow but Lemmy is finding its niche and we just gotta keep contributing where we can :)

It’s not quite that simple when you’re talking about a company with huge market share like that because the decisions they make go on to effect the market as a whole, look at headphone jacks, or screen notches for example. Not saying this is only apples fault, companies following their lead are just as bad or worse in some cases.

We can see it happening again with the removal of Sim cards, sure it won’t effect me, but if it becomes more industry standard, it will; and I like physical Sims (though that argument is not for here).

In my opinion it is important to know and criticize market leaders to try to avoid those changes becoming industry norm. To use your example, I would care about what whiteware my neighbours buy if the shitty decisions they make come back to effect me down the road. Look at the criticism of smart TVs and how hard it is to get a top featured “dumb Tvs” now.
