Yeah, switching to Lemmy 100% kinda had me going cold turkey, but that gave me moments to realize I had better things to do; I've already finished three books since the Reddit blackout started

Of course they have their finger in the wind, they have no policy except "whatever the opposite of what Dems support"

Nice profile pic 🌹

so what I think the problem is, or how I understand it, is that the person with the stolen CC info buys keys, puts it on reseller sites, and then gets laundered money in return

But the people who had their CC info stolen obviously contact their bank, or their bank does it for them, and tells the marketplace that originally sold the keys "hey those were fraudulent transactions, we need our money back" and get some kind of refund, while the keys stay valid for whatever reason. This can have a negative impact on the developer because not only do they need to return previously made profit, but there is something about people who get X amount of chargebacks that they get penalized for, so its basically like giving the devs a fee for having their game stolen (an actual lost sale), so they lose money on two fronts.

Idk how accurate this information is, but this article basically lays it out as I understand it

When keys are either stolen or bought illegally, the developer in question is always the one who is hurt the most. For transactions that get chargeback, the developer is out the money in the transaction.

In fact developers could lose money (in addition to losing a legitimate sale) because of credit card chargebacks for fraud because those sites are often just laundering places for stolen payment information

That's a hooker

Had to Bing what "libertine" meant but yep, that is based

It's from their "opinion rewards" thing where you get Play credits for taking short surveys; they don't give a lot, and I don't get them frequently because I usually have my location data turned off which is how they determine which surveys to give you, which is why I really don't want to waste the money I've already got

Hmm, I'm not usually into deckbuilding games, but that does seem like something perfect for touchscreens

Perfect

Nah its okay, my wood is inflammable

Lol this is actually like a setting I was thinking up that was high fantasy with sci-fi tropes, like instead of cyberspace there is an astral dimension wizards can project to using their mage decks

That sounds awesome!

Dope, and it seems like the perfect kind of mobile game to play for like 15 minutes at a time.

why does pride have to be in the summer😭

Are y'all still dealing with the smoke up in NYC?

If you don't mind me asking, what does she like about it? Is it like a dom thing where she likes being serviced, or is it like one of those double sided straps so she could still feel it?
