Starbucks accused of manipulating app payments for $900 million profit
  • I have resolved to never again buy "points" of any kind, whether on an app or a game or a themepark or anything else. Either let me spend real money or I am going to assume it is a scam.

    I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is
  • For people using smart TVs, consider hooking up an old laptop or desktop to your TV. You can use a wireless mouse/keyboard (or other input peripheral) and you've got a living room setup that allows you to use ad-blockers and your own browser and video player (I recommend PotPlayer), among other advantages.

    Baldur's Gate 3: Act 3 Bugs and Missing Content Becoming a Problem as More Players Near End
  • I'd recommend repairing your install in case some of the bugs are caused by corrupt files. I'm doing a multiplayer runthrough with a friend and we've encountered minor bugs like a exclamation mark being stuck over Wyll's head, but nothing gamebreaking.

    Why did Baldur's Gate 3 blow up? Larian lead writer says it's thanks to "a big gamble" with CRPG standards
  • Hasbro’s marketing budget behind it.

    Agreed on all points except this one. Swen said that they had to pay Hasbro to use D&D and that Hasbro didn't provide them with any funding.

    Jessica Watkins (mtf) sentenced to 8 years in a men's prison for Jan 6 involvement
  • Your comment made me curious, so I looked it up and found a 2006 study that says you are absolutely correct, inmate-on-inmate sexual violence is almost 4 times higher in women's prisons: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2438589/ I seriously did not expect that.

    Is queer an equivalent substitute for lgbtq(...)+?
  • I use "queer person" and "queer folk" as I find it sounds softer than just "queer" and also serves to differentiate it from bigots use of the word.

    *Permanently Deleted*
  • I find it funny and sad when headlines are phrased like that when in reality they should read "Previously Secret Memo Laid Out Strategy for Trump to Overturn American Democracy and Install Fascist Regime."

    Buying a house is so disheartening
  • I hear you, it is a nightmare. I bought my first home earlier this year and ended up moving an hour outside of the city. Paid less than half what I would have paid, don't have to worry about crime, and everyone is generally more chilled out.

    Corporate Cash Derails Train Safety Bill
  • So is it time to stop pretending that there are checks and balances on U.S. lawmakers? They can just be openly bought by horrendous monsters to let them poison the land, so why keep pretending that anything can be done short of guillotines? (not advocating violence, just referencing history)

    The ingredient that changed your life
  • MSG. When I discovered how versatile and effective it is, it became a part of my daily cooking to the point that I keep it in a little spice drawer right next to the salt and pepper.

  • The character creator is amazing! I can't believe how good the faces and hair look! I made a beautiful female forest gnome druid and then ended up making a male guardian that was even more beautiful.

  • Walking into Erana's Peace for the first time in Quest for Glory 1 (1989). For a more recent example, walking or driving into safety with a massive load in Death Stranding, as well as most of the rest of the game.
