I’ve had some issues with Invidious being unable to play specific videos once or twice, but the issues tend to go away after a couple of days.

I mean, we know Google and Youtube are both multi-billion-dollar corporations that are absolutely enraged by the idea that there could be any possible way for a commoner pleb like you to NOT have your online experience absolutely crammed with as many privacy violations and hyper-targeted ads as possible. Invidious having to constantly stay ahead of such powerful entities’ attempts to block them out means that some errors and periods of downtime are perfectly excusable- what’s important is continuing to support them in their fight.

Nobody’s ever accused me of being smart! But hey, at least I’m honest

Insanely true, I didn’t give a shit about 90% of the features on my new phone once my old one broke down and I got a Pixel 8, but I was delighted to go from a worn-out 12 hour battery life to a 64 hour battery life. I would actively like to uninstall any sort of current AI function from my phone if it could increase my battery longevity by even 1%.

Also: ew, Apple.

Edit: Really annoyed it doesn’t have a headphone jack though

THey’re trying so hard I love them

(This is also excellent because it applies to the DnD game I’m running)

Now that’s really interesting! I wonder where I can go to see this stuff…

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK BOYS

I know it got quashed; I’m not saying there was a revolution. “Free Hong Kong, the revolution of our times” was the anti-oppression slogan said by the victor of a heartstone tournament (which there was no rule or stipulation against), which caused Blizzard to ban the player from all tournaments, and refuse to pay him the prize money he’d won in an attempt to suck up to the chinese government.

To clarify: I don’t expect a gaming company to stand up to a full blown authoritarian regime. But I certainly won’t support a company that willingly goes the extra mile to sell out to them.

Used to, but I’m a little past the age.

It’s over bro, the developers who made the game you love are long, long gone. That isn’t your company, it’s a corporation wearing that company’s bloody torn-off face as a mask

Yeah, makes sense. They’re an online community that is famously the gateway drug for rightwing hate groups before they move onto harder stuff. “Execute the furries” into “gays are bad” is basically a core part of the rightwinger life cycle

I’ll be completely honest with you sir:

It’s just that none of the other popular TTRPGs (as in, ones I can find a group for) have much content on dragons.

On one hand: I know damn well that formatting is a huge bitch, because I’ve made my own huge homebrew for the game.

On the other hand: This is a multi-million dollar company that’s been around for bloody ages. Hiring a professional formatter shouldn’t even be a blip in the budget.

I mean yeah, we WERE founded because we didn’t want to support shitty business practices from Reddit but we wanted a good Reddit substitute

But we get good posts that aren’t Reddit drama too

Thank fuck for that. With any luck the better conditions will even give them the power to push back on management if management demands something stupid be added to a game.

In an industry as notoriously dreadful as game development, every bit of quality of life counts.

Lol yep. Literally Amazon 101, there’s a very good reason you shouldn’t buy from them unless you HAVE to.

Joke’s on them I love Tiamat she’s fuckin’ awesome. More successful evil dragon goddesses with legions of children and cool magic powers please

This! I’m on one of the lategame bosses in the v6 expansion; they’re a lot tougher than the rest of the game so it’ll probably take me all weekend to get good enough to beat them

“AAA Developers aren’t getting money from real keys either, what’s your point?”
