Never heard anyone getting payed for donating anything in Germany. You can get an compensation for expenses, yes. But this is not supposed to be a payment for your donation, it is supposed to compensate for your expenses. For example: Finding a babysitter or paying for bus, train, gas. Sometimes you have to make a medical examination beforehand, which also can take some time.

The German Red Cross for example explicitly doesn’t pay the donors so nobody gets the wrong idea and tries to donate as much and often at the cost of their own health.

I think the idea that a compensation is equal to a payment is flawed beyond reason. If someone has a problem with any organisation misusing donations for profit, they should (rightfully) engage in changing the law. Categorically not donating at all is…well it’s just selfish and stupid.

How the turn tables!

I first read “fediverse coup” and got exited. My answer is a disappointed no.

Pretty personal stuff. But I will try and keep that part short. She got a diagnosis. Nothing world ending but nothing pleasant either. And the only thing she could think of was ice cream. Again, the details are nobody’s business. So I fast forward to the important part. She processed the whole stuff while I was still trying to hold a grasp. She is way stronger and more mature than I. Her positive attitude is not an act, it is her very being. I on the other hand flip my shit when I catch the flu.

No. No agreeing. Only bitching.

I read something along of 200 million? And 8 years of development? Not even sold 25.000 times?

I tried some of the more harmless ones and it’s been hilarious.

Over the years I have learned to pay attention to certain keywords that made me be extra careful about games advertised. So when I heard of AAAA, I immediately knew that CEO was on ketamine and the game will start as a dumpster fire.

See you again in six months. Maybe it will be in an acceptable state by then.

Iron Lung. Everyone is gone. Every star, every planet and every moon. The only people left are those who were on spaceships and stations. With one exception: A moon is found, glowing in the light of a star that doesn’t exist and filled with an ocean of blood. Desperate for answers, the new makeshift government sends prisoners in submarines deep into this ocean with a simple task: make it to a hand full of coordinates, take the pictures and make it out alive. Did I mention it’s an ocean of human blood?

This game fucked me up that one night I played it alone. And no, it won’t take you longer. The dev literally says so in the description. About an hour. But it’s cheap and takes you on a crazy ride. By David Szymanski, the mad genius behind Dusk.

I got banned from r/gaming for shit talking pedos. I don’t want these people here.

Yes, I am only on Lemmy. I do not engage with other communities around the internet nor do I talk to anyone from the outernet. Especially not my friends who also like to play games.

Jfc, game literally came out today and the fanboys are already insufferable.

Just checked. It is. Fuck that CCP shit.

Crazy. Never heard of it.

Don’t know if this counts, but Resident Evil 4 killed off the tank controls and single-handedly popularised third person cameras for survival horror games.

Anything porn or erotic stuff. And those communities dedicated to anime girls. Furry stuff, too. But I honest to god can’t remember why. Might have been a reflex.

Edit: I just checked and I also have a lot of lemmygrad communities from back before the defederation. Aaaaaaand I blocked anything AI “art”. List looks like this:

Fine! I’m signing it!

Germany at 75.47%. We’re a bunch of slackers aren’t we?

Buy game that is wildly known to be too difficult for some. Made by studio known for making games too difficult for some.

Throws a fit and sues studio.

Yeah, that sounds like a skill issue.

Edit: It gets worse.

The player references not only Elden Ring but also Bloodborne in this regard. He says that game director Hidetaka Miyazaki cut a large chunk of Bloodborne out of the game. This was revealed in an interview where Miyazaki discussed players transforming into a beast. The player believes that this transformation feature is in Bloodborne but wasn’t ever added to the playable game.

This person is just plain mentally challenged. And I don’t mean that as an insult. Shit, that’s actually sad.

Sure. Why not? It will probably work like it does with US police officers, magically turning off right before the murder takes place self defence happens.

Seriously, I wouldn’t care at all. But it’s still a stupid idea and I would strongly oppose it. Even if only in solidarity with people it would fuck over.

I feel you. Moxfield is my greatest enemy.
