The fanbase? They didn't take this kindly and have now been making it a campaign to make that user's life a living hell.

I only browse the community stuff rather than engaging with it, but we've had very different experiences.

What I've seen is everybody discussing how messed up you'd have to be to do something like that, after a minority of players did all that horrible stuff, the fanbase overwhelmingly calling for those responsible to face punishment in court and to be permanently banned from the game and community.

As can be expected of any community, there's always unhinged, bad people in the mix. There are bad people on Lemmy, there are bad people everywhere. That's just life. As a society, we deal with them when they show themselves, and we take care of each other.

You can tar the whole community with one brush if you'd like, but that's not a path towards anything positive. It only leads to people like me being offended and angry when you claim I've (as part of the fanbase) been on a campaign to make someone's life hell.

It's just not productive.

Finally, the one thing missing from our modern day sci-fi Star Trek future was a Self Destruct built in to all our vehicles!

Is the truck parked behind that main battle tank?

If it has a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm jack, a removable battery and costs no more than £300, I'm interested! <3

I'd rather it were made in Europe too, but I understand we can't have everything, supply chains being what they are.

P.S Bonus points if it has an IR blaster, I use the one on my current phone quite a lot, surprisingly enough!

Gambling. Call it gambling.

Trying to whitewash it as "Prediction Markets" so it doesn't sound scummy, addictive, damaging and horrible is really annoying.

There is a market for predicting outcomes of things and waging money against those predictions, yes. We call it Gambling.

Motorola has been kinda crap for years now, not supporting their android phones with updates, etc.

Hopefully this is a new leaf for them.

Isn't Lenovo that dodgy company that did the China stuff though? Hopefully they've been bought by someone else since then.

Is anybody acting like this is new? Shops relabel stuff with price changes regularly, this just makes it quicker and easier - staff don't have to run around for a hour with a price gun and a bunch of shelf labels any more.

Improving how we display prices isn't the issue, that's a good move, it's how prices are decided that are the problem.

Thank you for censoring the word cocaine.

Imagine if my innocent eyes had been subjected to such forbidden words, mother would be furious!

Every penny given to a US company is bankrolling their government through taxes, and thus funding authoritarianism.

OpenAI has direct government contracts sure, but yeah.

I agree it sucks.

Ooh, I loved Grimrock! I wish it had gotten more success and exposure, but at least we got a sequel :-)

The URL sounded a bit fishy (no pun intended) but they seem legit, so I'll give it a read, cheers!

Hello fellow Boosters! :-D

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here, 😅 I saved a comment I'd like to go back to the other day but don't recall exactly what it was (darn my poor ADHD memory), and so I wanted to scroll through my saved/favourited comments to find it.

When I go to the "Saved" tab it lets me scroll through saved posts, but I can't find any way to switch to scrolling through saved comments, so I'm not sure how I'd go about finding them?

Thanks!
