I just cancelled my premium subscription renewal last night. Get fucked Sony

And thus I canceled my premium plan. I barely play online as it is, if I want I’ll just go to steam.

Absolute bullshit of a price gouge

As a developer myself, I just find it funny as fuck that people just spout off about shit like this. clearly do not understand what they are talking about.

Imagine the support nightmare alone if the dev team is dismissed on release. For example, Baldur’s gate just released 1000+ bugfix patch 20-some days after release, good luck doing that with a brand new team.

Especially today with things like day1/week1 patches which have become the usual almost, cutting the dev team loose on release would just be wild from any informed perspective

You realize these studios operate in capitalist societies right?

The developers don’t deserve to be paid? Because that’s the crux of it, no sell no profit, no profit no workers. Bye bye studio and any future art because we all are trapped in this capitalist nightmare. Do their families not deserve to be supported for their work?

I’m struggling to understand the motivation of your comment. You seem upset that a studio that worked for many years paying many developers project managers artists etc to create this game is selling the result of their hard work and investments? Where do you think they got the funds to build their latest game? Perhaps from the previous games, content, merch they have produced and sold?

How exactly is a studio to function if they simply hand out their hard work for free? How exactly are they to hire quality people if they are unable to make a profit from their primary product, the games that the developers and artists pour their heart and souls into?

I mean, shit, yeah all information, art, everything should be able to exist without tying it to finance but that’s not the world we live in and it’s not the world these developers work in.

So… what’s your point??

Nobody has said that outside of some random comment but okay

If people are still playing within meta’s walls they are lost and won’t be leaving anytime soon.

But all my friends are on there! M-m-my followers!!!

They didn’t miss the boat, they straight up ignored it. Nothing has changed so why should their poorly reasoned decision?

Just breath slowly, in thru the nose …… out thru the mouth. Do that and you will feel the vagus nerve interaction they talk about. It’s a great tool to help stabilize you in a moment of distress or discomfort. It doesn’t last long but you can keep doing the exercises!

Maybe you should try to learn more about the nerve and its interactions before you buy some wild bullshit off Amazon lol

My eyes have been a little dim lately

Congrats to Indians everywhere and Russia, get fucked

Uh… what? Defending the feds?

You can’t just attack someone who is handing you a court order to appear. That’s not defending the feds, that’s just how the laws work.

Furthermore, what the fuck does the D party have to do with any of this? This isn’t political it’s about the goddamn rule of law, if anything is being defended it’s that.

no one is above the law

Grow up or open your eyes bud, there’s a two-tiered system or justice and those in that upper tier are lost certainly above the law

Twitter did have real use and now it doesn’t. Who FUCKING cares???

What does X do that mastodon doesn’t? There is much mastodon can do that x can’t. Where is the problem, outside of having to use a different url than x.com? People are resilient as are their resistance movements.

They can survive a platform shift, there is no loss here.

Anything Twitter can do so can mastodon. Resistance movements can move forward without x with little issue. Twitter isn’t and never was special it was simply there at the right time. It’s not anymore and that’s okay because we are not helpless without some shit social media site.

Power to the people not corps.

Sounds like an improvement to me

I agree with you but technically speaking Earth from Star Trek went through very similar growing pains before finding their utopia.

“It’s not that they don’t care. It’s that they’ve given up.” This was how Commanding Officer Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks, described early 21st-century Americans in an episode from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. When it aired in 1995, “Past Tense” spoke to contemporary concerns about homelessness by telling a story set in 2024—the near future for viewers, but the distant past for characters. In the two-part episode, Sisko and two of his companions from the U.S.S. Defiant find themselves stranded in San Francisco, where they’re reminded that the federal government had once set up a series of so-called “Sanctuary Districts” in a nationwide effort to seal off homeless Americans from the general population. Stuck in 2024, Sisko, who is black—along with his North African crewmate Dr. Julian Bashir and the fair-skinned operations officer Jadzia Dax—must contend with unfamiliar racism, classism, violence, and Americans’ apparent apathy toward human suffering.

Wow, very interesting and informative!

Also want to say congrats on the sobriety. I know all to well of what that kind of withdrawal is like (2 years bzd clean as of yesterday!)

Thanks!! I’m relatively new myself, although I’ve been off and on since the death of 3P on that other place. Trying to rebuild my collection of communities and such
