Rule of thumb:

• are you making fun or otherwise mocking someone?
• are you doing it for any “bad reason” whatsoever?
• are you doing something that is/was primarily done by others for “bad reasons”, historically?
• are you doing something that other groups started doing as a replacement for something else that they were not allowed to (that you are)?

I’m half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn’t, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.

Unlikely to ever happen, but Xenogears.

Did not expect to see a Croc game ever again. Now all we’re missing is Gex.

I’m just curious because I’ve made some jokes in a thread about snipers before and I wonder if that triggered anything. But now with this article I realize that even if that one didn’t, my recent comment “I wish I could know if I have ever been investigated by the FBI” might have. And if neither did, then maybe this new one might.

Crap, I might go as well and say “hey FBI, investigate me”. So that I can now be sure.

…unless Lemmy is still out of their automatic tools?

I considered adding more to the joke here but got afraid it would be going too far. I think I’ll write a short story about someone who gets so paranoid about knowing if he’s on the FBI list or not that they end up actually doing some terrorism act just to be sure they are.

If I understood correctly is demanding payments from WP Engine for offering competing services using wordpress.

I was making a source-available farm game around the same time that stardew valley came out. Worked on it for about 7 years total mostly on my free time from work. Shortly after SV came out I got a ton of hate from its new fans because I was “stealing from ConcernedApe” and stuff like that. I ended up giving up on the project after a while. And now these days pretty much every rpg has farm mechanics on it.

Comedy: What we do in the shadows;

Action: Black Sails;

Anime: Monster;

Depression: Bojack Horseman.

That’s not my experience with steam at all. Only one or two options of the steam store tend to show AAA games over indie games. If you browse by category or using the dynamic recommendation you’ll see plenty of good games.

Ok that may take a few years.

With Climate Change we’ll eventually run out of names. Unless Hurricane Karen manages to be the one that kills everyone before that happens.

Not necessarily. They might just be able to choose the strength at will and decided not to start out with the max output back with Katrina.

I’m gonna go on “no stupid question” and ask why my old hard drives aren’t doubling in size.

Superman knows where there’s people and where there isn’t. Authors can argue there wasn’t anyone there.

I remember a time back when I still used twitter, thinking: “oh guess I’ll follow that dude who created Javascript” then shortly after wondering: “why is there so much stupid shit showing up on my timeline lately?”.

You can but only if you’re wearing the Zora armor.

And the whole reason the department is being created is because it would be called DOGE

Oh I trust my code, but I don’t trust my coworkers not to break something on the very next commit.

Last presidential election here in Brazil there were some some traffic light salesman selling towels with the presidential candidates. And they walked around with a score board showing which one had sold more. And they sold a lot more because people didn’t want to see their beloved candidate on the losing side.

ClickUp is A LOT worse than Jira.

I’d assume in his case the government already has enough eyes over him that if he were to actually try something they would know it before he even considered sending any threats.
