  • Wow, I don’t think I’ve seen an edgier comment on the whole of lemmy.

    You sound like you’ve got a lot to lose.

    Telling me I’d like to watch it all burn, and then calling me a political pacifist in the next breath?

    Yeah. You’re actively expressing both of those views at the same time by thinking yourself higher than the society you live in.

    Anyway, the debt isn’t a tangible thing like you seem to think. And you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, and I won’t take on the responsibility of teaching you how to use a search engine, so I guess this is where the edgy comment chain ends.

    Have fun in your cabin in the woods, brother. The rest of us understand what it means to live in a functional society. It’s not worth engaging any further with someone as far gone as you are ✌️






  • I meant that to say, it’s a genre that deserves to be distinguished from just one of the many games that define it.

    As a rephrase of that comment, defining the 5 games I listed after one game that basically just came before them would be dishonest because of how different those games all are from Slay the Spire and each other. That’s why the genre is named after what they all have in common, which is a mashup of two existing genres.

    What you’re proposing would be like renaming the first person shooter genre to “halo-like” or “call of duty-like” just because those games predate a lot of others and people like them. It’s unnecessary and loses the descriptive quality of the name it has.


  • The genre can be called “rogue like deck builder” all you want, we all know what it really is: “Spirelike”

    Well, you did. And you also directly acknowledged that the genre already has a name in the same sentence.

    It seems to be your opinion that it needs another one, even though the name it has is already so well established that it has its own steam tag.

    I mean, you’re entitled to have that opinion, and I also understand the logic behind it. But this conversation wasn’t started with “us” saying it needs another name.








  • Unpopular opinion incoming:

    I don’t think we should ignore AI diagnosis just because they are wrong sometimes. The whole point of AI diagnosis is to catch things physicians don’t. No AI diagnosis comes without a physician double checking anyway.

    For that reason, I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing that an AI got it wrong. Suspicion was still there and physicians double checked. To me, that means this tool is working as intended.

    If the patient was insistent enough that something was wrong, they would have had them double check or would have gotten a second opinion anyway.

    Flaming the AI for not being correct is missing the point of using it in the first place.





  • I’m not in an affected country, but from what I can gather from what happened most recently:

    Steam changed their pricing policy in relatively poor countries from localized affordable prices to strictly usd equivalent because people in other countries were using vpns to make accounts in those poor countries to get games for what would be pennies for them.

    I don’t remember which countries were involved in the first place, but in those countries now where they don’t make as much money on average, but everything is much cheaper, some steam games can cost the equivalent of a month’s salary.

    That’s why the store isn’t viable in those countries anymore.

    Edit: Here’s a source
