yes. But I’ve never seen this on already verified games. There is no way to report “this game shouldn’t be verified anymore. Or at least re-checked”

I think that only applies to still unfinished ratings. Once it’s done, it’s done

Gloomhaven for example doesn’t launch at all. But there’s no way to report this. Even the support couldn’t help

Now if only there was a way to report false steam deck compatibility badges

“to the best of my abilities” is the loophole here

“Reality has a well known liberal bias”

if they are not getting BLASTED for it, it doesn’t really matter

My instance seems to do that for me. Making this post look very confusing for a moment

why?

Stop ascribing intent to things which do not have it.

you might want to look up the rhetorical tool called anthropomorphizing.

It doesn’t meant that a person saying that actually believes that o1 is sentient. But it’s a good shortcut way to discuss a topic.

can’t do anything but read input and write output for actions

but it can do more. they gave it a shell to put commands into. Therefore acting out more than just inputting and outputting text

intended target and possible target are different things.

The law, as it exists, targets any and all communities with “a significant number of United Kingdom users”. There is no minimum size requirement.

It might be possible that the law turns a blind eye on smaller communities. But it might not. They are in their right to go against a 20 user fediverse instance the same way as they are against facebook

that’s the thing. You don’t have to be a company or resident of the UK.

If you have a community (classic forum, lemmy, masto etc) that caters to a “significant part” to UK users, you are target of the act.

And depending on where you live, extraditions to the UK for criminal charges exist.

Will anyone bother doing that? We’ll see

Edit: In case people want to read the law themselves: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/section/4

phew

This new season of Robot Wars / Battle Bots is starting strong

She didn’t tell me why, but she was like, ‘I would prefer just to be Jolene in this,’ and we were happy to do it.

The creator couldn’t shed light on why the request was made, but confirmed they honored it, and that’s why Blalock is known simply as “Jolene” in the Star Trek: Lower Decks credits

but it requires that you spend the same amount on marketing as development, is it actually easier to get on the platform?

yes. Because you’re on the platform. All it takes in 100 bucks and you’re good to go. Distribution and sales already taken care of.

Counter example: Until steam opened up fully, you would not have a chance for a game like balatro to reach its popularity. The dev himself stated that he expected to sell only a handfull of copies. Not a chance he’d go through all the hoops of trying to get it through something like Steam Greenlight, let alone a “proper” publisher.

I rather have a bunch of low effort games that nobody looks at even twice, if that means we get a chance of getting a couple of really good indie games

I dunno. I rather have that devs have an easier time to get on the platform and release a surprise hit, than an arbitrary hurdle that gatekeeps the platform.

If something is shit, it will just not be relevant.

Downside is, that devs actually need to promote their stuff instead of completely relying on just being discovered on the platform

thicccccccc

You don’t need a satellite phone for this, though

finally a good OS on them
