If the developers want to just directly sell me their games old school I'd be cool with that.

I'm not defending China here, but since Snowden we now know that American corporate spyware does serve the government. And they are suppressing democracy - this isn't a democracy yet, and peaceful protests for democracy are met with violent police resistance - Occupy, BLM, etc.

I sincerely hope that Lemmy can grow large enough to serve as a staging ground for democratic protests in America, just because it's not corporate controlled.

I liked summoning in 3, but in 4 it feels like all the monsters just run straight past my summons to me. It's like having an incompetent offensive line in American football. I just spend every fight running around avoiding monsters because they're smarter than my skeletons.

I can believe it.

In economics, the Jevons paradox occurs when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the falling cost of use induces increases in demand enough that resource use is increased, rather than reduced.

35 years old! Makes me wonder what he would've come up with next, where music would be today if he'd lived to a ripe old age.

I like to cut off Teslas in particular because they have extra safe following features.

It's surprising the psychological difference of "net seventeen people think you're an asshole" vs "twenty people think you're an asshole, but three people get you".
