When I first saw this I realized I had assumed Dr. Pepper (beyond the drink) was a man, but I think for me it was because as a kid I remember commercials with a deep voiced man and my dumb kid brain thought that was the doctor.

Society truly peaked at the height of YouTube poops.

For work I’m a multimedia designer and use the full Adobe suite (needs to be Adobe for collaboration), articulate storyline (Windows only), custom commands line git tools developed in house, along with a bunch of random other design programs that i use with varying frequency.

Recreationally it’s mostly PC gaming, but I do play around in blender, 3d printing programs like cura, and Godot game engine.

I think some of these have Linux clients, but anything for work pretty much needs to be those programs since I pass work of to other designers as well as work on their projects.

As much as you’re getting downvoted, I’m not either. I wish I could, linux just can’t do what I need for my job + recreation.

As a millennial, I think zoomer slang is much funnier than ours was. We said things like “epic win” or dumb shit about Chuck Norris but these zoomers are out there in the trenches sticking out their gyatts for the rizzler.

True heroes aren’t appreciated in their time.

Thank you for sacrificing yourself for our memes.

Actually I am a paleontologist and coincidentally I do have a new discovery. I call it “Largefoot”, or it’s taxonomically correct name, Largus Footus. I would show my definitive proof but I left it in a pocket of my other sweatpants.

But that whole argument follows the logical fallacy “whataboutism” to downplay X because Y and Z also do bad things. Just because you perceive something to be in line with a standard baseline of corporate shitiness doesn’t mean it’s not worth criticizing.

As for individualism, it’s no secret that lemmy is somewhat left leaning which contributes to the general vibe. From my experience there is a lot more nuance and depth to the discussions that happen here when factoring in population size compared to other similar areas of the internet.

I disagree. Nintendo isn’t just some company that has legal beef and comparing their shitiness with Blizzard’s is like comparing apples to oranges.

Nintendo is a litigious bully and patent troll that has a long, long list of hurting the fans that love their games. They don’t just settle for cease and desists, they historically ruin people’s lives (see Gary Bowser). What feels even worse about Nintendo is the complete misaligned of their product/ brand vs. how they treat fans. You can point to similar companies like Disney and I say that yes, I would happily cheer on any misfortune that comes to them with the same fervor as Nintendo.

I love the representation of millennials like me.

You know, you don’t have to obey the laws of gravity. I mean who’s going to stop you, the police?

That’s like whining that everyone hates Blizzard or Ubisoft because of some hive mind mentality. Could it be that maybe it’s just a commonly hated company based off their unethical actions over the last 10+ years?

I don’t want to advocate for shoveling money into any company, but if you could sell your steam games it would screw over indie devs in a big way. Many games made by small studies or one person don’t have as much content as AAA studies and would be far more prone to a small handful of copies being distributed back and forth on the used market instead of each being a sale that goes to the developer.

Some devs would see a drop in sales as much as 90% and I just don’t think it’s worth it to shoot the gaming industry in the foot like that.

Also brand marketing is built to sear their brand into your brain vs. plants who just vibe.

It might be different for others but I’ve been around furries, have had furry friends, and it still on some deep level that I can’t control makes me a bit uncomfortable. Like I do not judge, and I fully support consenting adults doing whatever they want, but if someone in a fur suit sat next to me on a train, I would be a tad bit uneasy. For me, I think it’s the sexualizing animals that gets me. I’m not saying furries do anything bad to real animals, just that the way I view animals is something incompatible with any form of sexualization.

That being said, I fully support furries doing whatever they want as long as it isn’t forced on me. All the furry friends I’ve had over the years have been wonderful and creative people, and have never made me feel uncomfortable.

Does Israel even need to interfere? I’m not American but it seems like both parties are already ride or die for Israel.

To me, it wasn’t so much about each DLC making a huge impact or the story being amazing. It was more about already playing the game to death and then gaining access to more content to explore. Kind of like eating a delicious cake, still being hungry, and then finding another slice of that cake that was sitting out all day.

That doesn’t sound very dystopian
