Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code in c/[email protected]
[–] dialecticcake 5 points 3 months ago

This impacts more than just cheaters. Rockstar apparently didn't enable Proton support with Battleye meaning many Linux users can no longer play GTA Online. I don't play GTAO but I am not looking forward to when I can no longer play Red Dead Online.

"As we mentioned previously, BattlEye on Proton integration has reached a point where all a developer needs to do is reach out BattlEye to enable it for their title. No additional work is required by the developer besides that communication." source: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

DM: "Alright. Everyone else, please make up and write down two things about this player's backstory and let me know. Do not tell each other what you wrote. I'll choose which ones I'll use plus may throw in a couple myself" evil laugh

I was a child when I got Weird Al's autograph when he performed at an antique car show with the audience all sitting on grass. He was super nice.

Use up any PC points this month in c/[email protected]
[–] dialecticcake 2 points 7 months ago

I just went yesterday and bought $61 worth of things to get as close to 60 as possible, then used 60000 points and got 20000 points back. Getting $60 of things we need for $40 was still a win for me. So even though I agree they already got my money when I accrued the points, the reality is $60 of merch left and they gained ~$1.

So for now my plan is to only buy necessities there and only during similar promotions.

Not only will I not spend money at Loblaws stores this month, I will also take $750 away from them by using my points.

Even better is a promotion starts tomorrow that if I spend $60 worth of points, they'll add $20 worth back onto my balance.

‘The Sims’ Movie in the Works with Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap, Vertigo and ‘Loki’ Director Kate Herron in c/thesims

Oh my kid doesn't play -- more or less just listens to me vent about EA while occasionally providing advice on how to make my Sims clothing/builds look better. :D

Aww thanks for the comment. I'll share this with my kid as they're the one who came up with that one. :D

I'm so looking forward to once Paralives launches (Early Access to be sometime in 2025). Out of all of the competition, that's the one I'm looking forward to the most. I've been a Patreon supporter for years and love seeing their weekly updates.

I'm not interested in giving EA any more money or in their 2 hour long commercial. However, what I AM interested in is all creative talents who may create their own versions of what the Sims movie should be based on Sims 4 is actually like:

  • No plot since it's up to you to think up the story in your head!
  • Dining out for hours but the Sims can't sit down and actually eat a meal.
  • Sims getting married when they've known each other for less than a day.
  • A wedding with guests doing things like pushups or using their cellphones during the ceremony.
  • A sim drops trash and now can't walk around it doing their 'hey you - help here - hand wave'.
  • A crying baby needing food with two parents who desperately need to pee. The parents pass the baby back and forth, pee themselves, then one places the baby down on the floor in the puddle of urine.
  • Famous Sims oddly appearing in every scene despite it not making sense for them to be there and oddities like wearing swimwear in snowy areas.
My daughter and her friends were saying they were Satanists to piss off the "normal" kids. So I had her look up TST's 7 fundamental tenets. Now she really is one. in c/atheism

I break the spaghetti into 3 pieces before cooking it as then it's much easier to deal with. :)

Removal of piracy communities in c/lemmyworld
[–] dialecticcake 1 points 1 year ago

Better to create your own instance then.

It's about reducing risk not eradicating it and there's a huge difference in risk in being targeted for legal action due to hosting c/piracy (via caching/mirroring) than from a single piracy post in c/hellokitty.

Request to create a 2nd paid only version of the app (self.syncforlemmy)
 

I don't like the lack of transparency with how the Google Play Store doesn't list the permissions if one pays for the app and instead only shows the permissions if one doesn't pay.

I generally prefer it when devs release two apps -- a free version and a paid version. This way it's very clear on the Google Play Store what is being tracked in the paid app.

This won't affect me personally, but I am curious if others would be more likely to use and pay for Sync if the permissions were more clear for the paid usage case.

Steam summer sale is on - Sim 3 bundle is 76% off and Sims 4 content is on sale as well (store.steampowered.com)

I'm Canadian but I expect this sale is on for other countries as well. This also means if you are in the USA -- the price for you to get the Sims 3 bundle is even lower. (EDIT: Note that the bundle doesn't include the Base Game which is required but can also be bought off of steam.)

Feature Request: vote reasons, e.g., +1 funny -1 troll, etc. (lemmy.world)
 

@1993_[email protected] wrote a great post about Slashdot upvotes/moderation which I think makes a good feature request.

Here is the opening line of their post: "this was something I loved about slashdot moderation. When voting, people had to specify the reason for the vote. +1 funny, +1 insightful, +1 informative, -1 troll, -1 misleading, etc."

The post also mentions moderation as well so I suggest a full read.

Nice - a catch all community (self.lifesimulation)
 

I appreciate being able to talk about different life sims in one place such as Sims4, Paralives, and Life By You. Thanks for creating this community. :)
