This is the most obvious “blackmailing bi-curious men” scheme I’ve ever read. Just say it Omeggle with consenting adults.
A lot of the power users in this thread have clearly never heard of “sex sells”.
Also non-zero chance some of these guys might have an association with Mindgeek. Just a hunch, given how easy reddit like sites are to manipulate.
In other news, water is wet.
I was going mostly off how I’ve delt with addictive behavours in my life and how casualised therapists like Healthy Gamer explain how dopamine works.
It’s also worth noting that this user also posted about lacking motivation to even play video games at this point, which if they’re using masterbation as an easy dopamine crutch it could explain where there motivation to do anything else is going.
But yeah, I didn’t prepare academic level citations for my lemmy post I made during a lull at work.
Easy dopamine isn’t a good thing. Dopamine is finite but renewable, so if you run through all your dopamine on easy hits your going to end up having motivational issues.
And if your constantly chasing short term Dopamine hits your brain is going to adjust to seek behavours that give instant gratification over somthing that’s just as rewarding, more productive for your personal or professional life, but takes longer to get that dopamine.
By all means deal with your libido in anyway that doesn’t hurt the people around you, but maybe retiring the wankers cramp for a bit might do you good once in a while.
I’ve been using Nobara for gaming a while now, and it’s certainly a good choice from by experience. It’s a modified Fedora distro that’s designed for gaming.
Eastern Europe is going though it right now. One of my old Polish colleagues fled to the UK becuase the Church is slowly taking over and becoming totalitarian. Even if you have a miscarriage you’d be investigated to see if “it was done on purpose” or not.
(From what I remember, this was just at the tail end of covid)
It does for software becuase when somthing gains enough marketshare it then becomes somthing that businesses start to consider as a general option.
Like the reason Adobe gets by despite the culture for just pirating their software is becuase even piracy gives market share, and Adobe products are so commonly used that corporations feel obliged to use Adobe licences in their projects.
The actual numbers are vague, and knowing Valve’s “flat” structure people probably come and go whenever.
The point of the fan campaign isn’t specifically about the dmca, but moreso the apparent apathy of Valve towards the state if the game, with the item servers diving down for about two days and bots flooding official server still not having anything done to practically combat them.

I don’t think Japanese people spend as much time thinking about the west as you think.
Maybe “pretentious cinematic thrid person action game” and “buggy eSports 2000s nostalgia bait” games just don’t appeal to people in Japan as much as it does in the west.
ARMS is so underrated
Mario Kart is just a fun and accessible racing game.
It’s crazy to think that people are still making new games on Unity after it’s been made painfully obvious that the company is in the corporate downward spiral of enshittification.
I wonder if they’ll cry “the AI did it!” when the chat bot hallucinates up some random misinformation.
I think it’s more to include anything that’s sexually abusive instead of what is just pornograthic.
Back in the day, Nintendo got big on quality control. That’s less of a selling point now that almost every big publisher is pushing for yearly releases and devs need to rush out unfinished games to meet corporate expectations. A console was also just miles ahead in user friendliness that a computer up until around the PS4/Xbone.
The way forward for consoles these days is to have more interesting hardware, but Microsoft is resistant to just having gyro in the xbox controller so don’t hold your breath for the next xbox being anything worth looking at.
There was the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest. It’s not a whole country going anarchist and no doubt the limited amount of people with the nessisary skill sets to have a functioning society (judging from the food garden they set up) held back the viability of the protest, but in general the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest was widly seen as a wild failure.
It’s an interesting thing to look up on, and I’d definitely recommend anyone who is serious about anarchism to study it for the potential pit falls of an anarchist society that they would need to work out first.
