Wikipedia editor here; there's some nuance. This article is listed as a Good Article, meaning it's been reviewed by another (almost certainly) experienced editor for verifiability, prose and style, coverage, neutrality, stability, etc. This was attained in 2013, and especially for such a prominent article, slipping below those standards is a recipe to get GA status revoked. Presumably this note is summarizing a large portion of coverage by Wikipedia and thus a variety of sources. You want to read and cite all of the sources rather than Wikipedia in something like a research paper, but for just a community note, there's really nothing wrong with this.
Word of mouth provided by pirates is still great for the AAA games industry, regardless of what they'll tell you, and only helps perpetuate these bad practices you're pirating to get away from. 99.9% of users are unwilling to pirate games, and thus when you reference them, say you played or enjoyed them, talk about pirating them, etc., it's essentially just free advertising for those games to people who would in all likelihood just purchase them if they wanted them.
Meanwhile, playing indie games gives those devs some cash flow to keep developing and gives free, word of mouth advertising to other people through references, recommendations, etc. The more successful indie games with good practices are, the better the games industry as a whole. It's not a zero-sum game, but there is some tradeoff involved.
Brittanica not doing so hot after Wikipedia nearly obsoleted them, huh?
Why pirate shitty AAA games when you can spend your time getting a better experience by supporting indie devs financially and in word of mouth?
"Here's my angry, unpopular, barely coherent diatribe apropos of nothing about this large and diverse group of people definitely being angry and hostile."
It's the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope; the person you're replying to left out "Aperture" by mistake.
There isn't a meaningful difference; gachas are just a subset of lootboxes, and anybody claiming otherwise is a player lying to themselves or is a game publisher defending themselves from these predatory practices.
Not only is this completely untrue, but a plant-based diet over an omnivorous one comes with multifarious benefits to short- and long-term health.
Still forgot to make up for the lost day yesterday, so I'll have to do that today. I'm so sorry for anyone who's missed their fix of these awful, awful posts.
I once again forgot yesterday just from being too busy, so I'll be doing another one later.
I wish they would put the official app on F-Droid. I use PixelDroid, but it'd still be nice to try.
Last I checked, 45 is less than 1460. I hope this helps.
This is a State Department affair; none of what you listed that he was busy doing has to do with the State Department. He could've literally told them "Hey, I want Cuba off the list", they could've given him a report to sign off on, and boom. Done. I hope you understand that while the POTUS has final say over their Cabinet, they have a Cabinet so that they can, like, delegate things to them. So that, like, they don't have to be laser-focused on one or two issues for their entire term. The US' sanctions on Cuba have unjustly crippled the nation for decades, but he waits 99.9% of his presidency to actually effect change on the issue, which, again, amounts to telling some people in the State Department to make a report and then signing off on it. What Biden's done here is fucking meaningless, and it's surely only so late in his term out of sheer cowardice that he thought it'd hurt his/Kamala's election chances in Florida. Fuck him.
What the fuck are you talking about? The state sponsors of terrorism list is under the sole purview of the State Department and can be modified at literally any time under literally any justification without the approval of Congress, the courts, or any other body. It literally is Joe Biden saying "Make it so!" in this case. He just chose to do so when it has zero meaningful consequence.
He could've ended these wildly unjust sanctions at any time and only chose to do so six days before they'll be reinstated.
And yet Amaze on F-Droid is probably a better product.
Okay, so we officially have our first sex scene coming up, and that means music. I'm holding a three-way poll to see how people want me to tackle this. However this poll shakes out is how I'll be handling all four of the sex scenes.
The first option (Option 1) is that I cover all unique lyrics one time and skip repeated lyrics. The second option (Option 2) is that I cover every single line spoken no matter how often it's repeated (the most extreme example of this is going to show up in the second sex scene). However, each title is unique. The third option (Option 3) is that song lyrics don't count as dialogue (the mission statement of this series is technically to sequentially exhaust every single line of "dialogue").
In order to vote, there will be three comments below with each option, what they mean, and some pros and cons for each. You don't have to vote on just one; instead, upvote the one(s) you like and downvote the one(s) you dislike.
