I haven't seen any meltdowns, no. Beyond being "Space Games", they are very different games anyway. Yes, No Man's Sky has had a very impressive development at an impressive speed, while Star Citizen... hasn't, but Star Citizen is aiming for a completely different scale of simulation and detail.

This doesn't have the head tracking capabilities of the VR kit, as you only insert the Switch which doesn't have a gyro without the joycons.

22 titles actually, of which 14 were released in the US.

Political division, erosion of democracy and the continuous movement towards fascism.

Not sure I care about the game itself, but the art style is beautiful!

I think it's a fun novelty, but locking the actual software behind the Online+ Expansion pack instead of including it with the (no doubt expensive) accessory is a bit crap.

It's a thing in the UK.

I wear a helmet when riding my bicycle.

One would hope so. But if there's one thing far-right politicians do really well, it's surviving political scandals.

Good, but with a process this long, I imagine he's had more than enough time to hide/destroy any relevant evidence.

As I wrote on another comment, you didn't DM me either, but permabanned me over 2 votes. Your ban message "Don't want you in the community" also didn't give any indication that you assumed I was part of a coordinated brigading attack. Instead, it very much read to me like you were just annoyed at having been downvoted.

It is tiring and frustrating to know that it'll more than likely be back. At this point, we need a law that makes sure that this kind of surveillance is never legal. But the hurdles for that are unfortunately way higher than just getting a blocking minority.

Yeah. I can see why admins might need to see the votes, at least which instance they're from, if there are actual large-scale brigading attacks. But I don't think mods really need to see them.

As you can see by my replies here, I'm not here to insult the mod at all. I have replied to all their comments in a civil manner. I don't condone people coming here just to insult them, but wanted to have a discussion about modding practices. This is the second time I've been banned for downvoting a mod and neither of them contacted me beforehand, just dished out a permaban. I just think that's a silly and unproductive thing to do. It's a bit frustrating when I'm trying to be friendly to everyone and then still get randomly banned for frigging downvotes.

Subscriptions don't always federate fast or correctly. (You can find many people with the same issue here) For many communities it still shows "Subscribe pending" for me, despite getting the content in my subscribe feed. No, I hadn't participated yet - the community is barely 2 weeks old.

Vote brigading (Wiki) is coordinated vote manipulation. I wasn't sent to that thread by anyone (I was subscribed to the community) and I wasn't coordinating with anyone to downvote you either. I have no idea who else voted on your comments and whether or not they were brigading. But just because you're getting a ton of downvotes doesn't mean you're getting brigaded, it could just be that you posted something many people disagree with (heck, seemingly everyone in this case). So no, I absolutely didn't participate in any brigading.

Generally yes, there's always a lot of opposition to these kind of proposals in Germany. But the biggest party in power right now is known for its many attempts to massively increase surveillance.

Fair. I didn't see that original post where they've made the accusation, so I admit it could have been shitty enough to warrant a ban. But there's that and then there's getting banned for 2 downvotes.

Actively not supporting it, at least in its current iteration.

There are many. My current e-bike is a Focus, made in Germany and using a German Bosch motor. Very happy with it. Generally not every single component will be European though, for example my bike's brakes are Shimano and the suspension is SR Suntour.
