I agree that there's nothing wrong with remixes. Vampire Survivors dude invented a new genre and all, people who say these games are "copying" Vampire Survivors probably also say that every FPS is copying Maze War lol
Death Must Die was indeed fun. Soulstone Survivor is pretty good too.
l don't understand people who think there's any meaningful comparison between Diablo and HoT.
HoT is a vampire-survivors game, and in my opinion is the actual best in the genre, I have dozens of hours in it. This type of gameplay has absolutely nothing to do with ARPGs.
I agree that forced exclusivity is bad. I absolutely disagree with your statement that ubisoft store was better than steam, I don't even understand how you can say something like that. But yes, without the games any store is worthless.
You didn't respond to my question though, so I'll repeat it: even if someone was able to launch a product with feature parity to steam, why would anyone migrate?
I was gonna comment about epic giving games away for free, but I think I got your point. You mean like the same releases, but subsidizing, say, 10% of the price?
Assuming that a company could hope to achieve a store front with similar features in a few years instead of the 21 that steam had, why would anyone migrate there?
I'm on the same page as you, it's tough. I have no idea how any other platform can really achieve competitor status with steam, and this is a big problem for us consumers and for developers.
Big change for me was stop using "[email protected]", I was giving that info to so many random ass websites and app and services. Just create another email and connect that with your "main" one, that's trivial to do with gmail.
Search for your name on images and see if anything comes up. If yes, try to clean that up. It's usually profile pictures in services.
Don't leave your strava profile public. It's crazy to me that people do that. I don't want even my friends knowing where and when I exercised.
On the same topic, make sure your facebook photos and connections aren't visible to non-friends. It's insane the amount of people who just put everything out there for anyone to see.
Both the Soviet Union and United States gathered data from the Unit after the fall of Japan. While twelve Unit 731 researchers arrested by Soviet forces were tried at the December 1949 Khabarovsk war crimes trials, they were sentenced lightly to the Siberian labor camp from two to 25 years, in exchange for the information they held.[10] Those captured by the US military were secretly given immunity,[11] The United States helped cover up the human experimentations and handed stipends to the perpetrators.[1] The US had co-opted the researchers' bioweapons information and experience for use in their own warfare program (resembling Operation Paperclip), as did the Soviet Union in building their bioweapons facility in Sverdlovsk using documentation captured from the Unit in Manchuria.[12][10][13]
lol
no common sense allowed in this thread, sir. only AI hate bandwagon please.
I don't usually like snarky dismissive comments, but.

I use firefox, I also tried on brave and have the same issue, signed in or not.
I just investigated a little bit, and lemmy.world's requests to the images returns 500 (with a 404 inside):

However it seems to be an issue with the "format" and "thumbnail" parameters, as just the image link works:

State actors could be interested in doing that. Same with the internet archive attacks.
