One of the main storyline NPCs is a well thought out and respected trans individual.

Seems like they put about as much thought into the naming as the JKR put into naming a lot of her non-white characters…

Basically all megacorporations do that to everyone. Treating humans as just another sort of capital is a basic part of their existence. Doesn’t mean you should ignore the problems of funding these people.

Don’t have quite a much problem, but thanks for reminding me that I can’t tell the difference between being tired from not getting good sleep, physically tired from exercise, and hungry: I typically assume they’re all hunger because I frequently experience hunger as being tired after like running low on energy. Haven’t been sleeping well this week and have been wondering why I’ve been feeling hungry a lot and overeating.

If they know what email and reddit it are, Lemmy should be pretty easy to understand, at least from a user-perspective. Replace reddit with Twitter/Bluesky for mastodon, Instagram for pixelfed, etc, etc. I don’t think understanding how email works at a tech level is important for being able to use it. Ditto for fediverse.

That your busy checking your emails

Crash the market hard enough and people won’t be able to afford them…

I thought he got famous for anti-semetic jokes he made in his late-20’s.

Given my consumption of video games tends to be through small twitch streams and the streams I watch tend to play lots of indie stuff, I at least get the impression that Indie games are what I hear and know most about. Like, I didn’t even know Astro Boy was a 3d platformer until I saw it being speedrun at GDQ this winter.

I feel like the huge success of games like Balatro shows how indies already have a lot of peer to peer spread. That said, I suspect there is a luck component to going viral and that other solid indie games are being ignored for mediocre AAA games. But it’s hard for me to tell how popular games like Uncle Chop’s or Cobalt Core are because I see far more people playing them than I do people playing games like Star Citizen or even Black Myth Wukong.

That said, there certainly are some indies that are hardware intensive, but I don’t think I’ve seen any that are GPU intensive. But simulation games like Dyson Sphere Program and Stonehearth certainly can benefit from a beefier CPU or extra RAM (the latter partly due to a memory leak).

I could see myself reading it either way depending on the layout. At least in my state, license plates have a space between the first 3 letters and the last four, so “M4M” would look a lot more like “M4F” and “F4M”, which also seem commonly used, so its not like the notation is unique to gay people. And “bear” and “twink” are both pretty commonly understood.

The only places I regularly hear Americans talk about therapy in a normal way is like online queer spaces. And I wonder how much of that is a holdover from medical gatekeeping of medical care for trans people.

Balatro.

HM for Satisfactory - haven’t play it yet, but spent a lot of time watching others. Nine Sols and Uncle Chop’s Rocket shop also seemed pretty cool.

They still are annoying to other car drivers, making it hard to see…
