I had a love-hate relationship with the game. Yes, it's cute and charming, but also extremely hard and unforgiving. Reaching certain remote areas to collect items by having to wrap around pipes to then extend and not fall was painful. Honestly one of the hardest games I've played.

not everything [Stalin] did was bad

Some of Hitler's buildings are good enough to still be in use.

If that's what a Westerner does to dissent, imagine China.

"whataboutism is effective propaganda". No, it's a reminder to address the actual argument, not talk about America lynching negroes.

Enough said. Heroiam slava!

Obviously. On PC, Steam alone takes 30%. Everything she gets though? Likely used for something horrible.

My first months on Lemmy were spent on Lemmy.world, which was the biggest instance at the time. I had no experience with Hexbear because .world had defederated that instance. I sometimes saw it being described as a "tankie" instance, but it was nothing specific.

After I moved to .zip, I came across !games@hexbear.net, which seemed to be free from anything overtly political and reminded me of r/Gamingcirclejerk, so I subscribed to it and occasionally made comments related to gaming.

Today I made multiple comments to a post about an article on the STALKER game developers having removed the Soviet symbols and the Russian audio in the remastered edition of the game. I would argue that in the thread, there were no comments from me that could be construed by a reasonable person as defensive of Nazism, fascism, or even hinting at it. For example, in one of the comments, I linked a Ukrainian law that prohibits the use of Nazi symbols, though I highly advise looking through all my ten comments as to avoid any misunderstanding or false impressions.

Conversely, one comment posted by another user dismissed Holodomor as Nazi propaganda, which I reported, but a moderator of that community just ended up calling me out for that and taking no action, followed by them banning me.

The thread containing all of my untouched posts is still available via lemmy.zip. My comments are also available for viewing via my user page. They are not available on hexbear due to the ban.

The main maintainer of this instance and PrivacyGuides, Jonah, was last active on reddit just days ago, but a year ago on Lemmy. Clearly it's not a priority for him.

By the way, it's the same website that scrubbed the section on alternatives to the big tech social networks like Twitter and Reddit, making the wild claim that there's no practical difference between them and the alternatives. They argued that the public nature defeats the point of privacy, but refused to account for the fact that the amount of personal and other data collected and sold by the corporations is multitudes more than what is collected by the likes of Lemmy.

The survival game with co-op support was previously known as Svalbard.

Two of the reasons I'd never use it. The other is not wanting to support the Google monopoly.

As before, Steam goes strictly by the Steam release date rather than the PC release year when determining whether a game qualifies for most of the nominations. This allows to nominate quite a number of former Epic exclusives, Ubisoft releases, or other games previously unavailable on Steam, including:

  • Anno 1701 History Edition (2020)
  • Assassin's Creed Mirage (2023)
  • Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (2023)
  • Corruption 2029 (2020)
  • Crime Boss: Rockay City (2023)
  • Dead Island 2 (2023)
  • Goat Simulator 3 (2022)
  • Kingdom Hearts (2021)
  • Palia (2023)
  • Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate (2023)
  • Star Trek: Resurgence (2023)
  • Tchia (2023)
  • The Alto Collection (2020)
  • The Crew Motorfest (2023)
  • The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (2023)
  • The Settlers: New Allies (2023)
  • Tortuga - A Pirate's Tale (2023)
  • Touch Type Tale (2023)
  • Witchfire (2023)

Edit: Added Touch Type Tale; slightly corrected the intro.

Linux is self-serving for them because it's the only way to not have to pay a third-party for licensing the OS. Enjoying the side effects of that is still fine though.

That logic makes absolutely no sense. Look into Google before you take issue with Mozilla.

Mastodon allows you to transfer your followers when you migrate, so it's not a big deal if you change your mind about the first instance you had chosen.

It has nothing to do with privacy. Telegram is an old-school social network in that it doesn't even require that you register to view the content pages. It's also a social network taken to the extreme of free speech absolutism in that it doesn't mind people talking openly about every kind of crime and their use of its tools to make it easier to obtain the related services. All that with no encryption at all.
