It’s an analogy, just because you’re in an alliance with an imperialist fascist state, doesn’t mean you can’t do the right thing.

I worry for the reading comprehension of our US brethren although it does explain a couple of the recent world events.

After that UNGA address by Pres Lula and their reaction to their own Jan6 one can only hope Brazil steps up to lead the BRICS in the right direction.

BRICS peace force enteting Gaza would be a wild timeline.

Ah yes, Russia…

OK boomer

Edit: (while deeply downvoted) the vote tally on this thread is the prime example lemmy. world has a bunch of nazi snowflakes going around manipulating votes.

Same can be said of the US, however that’s no reason to think the other NATO members should not help Ukraine. BRICS is an umbrella term for several countries.

That’s like saying Estonia wanting to defend Ukraine is worthy of a LOL because NATO invaded Iraq steered by the US and UK… The BRICS represents many countries, this whole BRICS = Russia is downright white supremacy.

Let me guess, US American…

BRICS peace force enteting Gaza would be a wild timeline.

I’m sorry, I refuse to continue engaging with bad faith arguments.

Have a nice day.

It does shift review coverage, generally, toward the ones with the most advertising

but that doesn’t mean that Redfall and Suicide Squad still can’t happen and review poorly

Thank you for arguing in my favour. Both Redfall and Suicide Squad reviewed well above 50%. For people on Lemmy arguing about statistics it’s obvious the mean is shifted so anything around 75% is mediocre, however, to the average consumer, that is not the case. Furthermore, I mentioned Kane and Lynch because that game was the reason giant bomb exists and everyone nowadays knows big publishers strong-arm outlets.

I’m sure Kane and Lynch are audience favorites. No reason not to think only the best games get reviewed and thus, shifting the mean 25% in the favor of the companies that just so happen to be the ones paying for advertising. It’s more likely outlets, on average, only review good games, that sounds more reasonable.

Statistically, if more than half of a random sample of steam games are rated to be good, the standards for evaluation are shit.

And the people that were supposed to let us know if a game is good or not, the “professionals”, have a median score around ~75% according to open critic data, otherwise they wouldn’t have a job because sponsors would gfo.

We’re on our own shifting through a pile of de facto shovelware to find anything of worth nowadays.

It’s a problem not exclusive to games, mind you. Music, scientific publishing and other content for profit industries have the exact same issue: Vetting quality requires work so for profit institutions offload the vetting to the user.

This guy politiks

Hollywood gaining 10kg per capita in a month. Welcome back Jonah…

In case everyone is sleeping let me break this down for you:

Both crypto and modern private equity are ponzi schemes. With leverage to hold on crypto and leverage on leverage to own on private equity, both industries have been a bag throwing game between investors, with managers cashing in on every trade for close to a decade. Now, the industry is cooling down, they ran out of idiot fund managers to scam into participating in their ponzi scheme so they either let the bubble burst or they find new idiots to be left holding the bag when they cash out before the catastrophe. We’re a the find new idiots phase, with the new regulatory freedom sponsored by the pedophile in chief, all of these scammers are now turning to even lower sofistication investors to buy in their ponzi scheme so they can cash out before the shit hits the fan. Case in point, new age app brokers now advertising investment in the “private markets” as a new product. I see another wealth transfer wave from the lower and middle class to the 1% happening within 2 to 3 years. It’s going to be the reason we get Nazis again in power in the civilized world.

Can anyone added accidentally to the signal group brief us on what happened in the meeting please.

Well, he can put yank troops on the ground and reclaim it himself. Ukraine was already strong armed into giving its natural resources to the US, in the most mafia like fashion one must say, time to actually help…

Well, that’s 50 studios that won’t ever see my money.

*edit

So, every time a corpo does something shady, social media at large argues: “vote with your wallet”

Given Microsoft’s criminal and genocidal history I decide to boycott companies who associate with that behemoth, especially when they are validating a business model that fucks over other indies. It’s the perfect example of “fuck you I got mine”. I’m clearly voting with my wallet against this unconscionable practice, yet, this thread, on average, thinks that’s a bad thing. I think it paints the average user here on a very negative light, which is disappointing.
