Yeah figured there would be a way for corporate greed to fuck over any regulation. Can you think of any amendments to my proposition that would prevent this?

This is the way. I want all places and all businesses to have healthy competitors. Businesses should not be allowed to acquire other businesses unless they have been operating in losses for at least 5 years. That’s how all this monopolistic bullshit will stop.

Only if the content is organic. Look at !photoshopbattles@lemmy.world . Full of bot posts from reddit with 0 comments. Even if one of them gets a comment, it would get drowned out by the subsequent bot posts. Blindly filling a community with bot posts would eventually make people unsub from it.

Nice! Hope she one day comments like this

Oh, Magic the gathering! I thought Marjorie Taylor Greene and was agreeing with you that it might not be for everyone.

Saw the bad content get deleted as I was checking it out. The instance looks clean now. Funnily enough, the top post is asking about sudden nsfw content, and one of the comments a gif of someone literally shitting.

Yeah Zelda games are the complete package every time. I've played half a dozen zelda games with her, and we loved each one of them (except Twilight princess. It was too dark/depressing and we didn't finish it). She's 7 now, and she has forgotten a lot of what we played when she was younger. It's bittersweet, because she doesn't remember the fun we had, but I get to play the same games with her again.

I was playing this game with my 4 yo daughter, giving her a controller pretending she was controlling the younger brother. We would talk to the characters as if the younger brother was her and the elder brother was me. It was an amazing experience. Then the elder brother dies, and it's not even a quick thing. There's a whole big segment of the younger brother carrying the elder brother's body and burying it. My daughter doesn't exactly understands what is happening, but keeps getting more and more upset and scared, and keeps asking me why I wouldn't wake up. That segment fucked me up as I was trying to get through that part while also trying to comfort my daughter.

I don't know if this is an emotional moment for everybody, but I have been playing video games with my daughter ever since she was 4. When she was around 5, we played Majora's Mask. There is a part in the gerudo desert where a dad and his little girl live in a house, but the dad went missing, so the daughter is waiting for him at the house. As part of the quest, you go talk to the daughter, then go rescue the dad from underground. So far, so good.

We go down to the dungeons, and the father finally escapes and reunites with his daughter. The moment the dad meets his daughter, my daughter starts bawling.

'Where were you dad? I was alone and missing you! Some strangers (referring to link) even visited the house! Why did you leave me alone??'

I was absolutely stunned by her words and emotions, and it was tough to console her while I was getting emotional myself. I'm getting emotional right now as I type this.

So yeah, that was the most emotional moment in a game for me.

One other emotional moment was from Brothers: A tale of two sons, which I've replied to one of the comments.

Liveleak doesn't exist? Wow that's news to me.

I’ve been experiencing a total system crash/hang due to Firefox or steam on endeavour OS. Never had such issues on nobara. Any idea why?

On the flip side, is it possible to hide a community from showing up on my profile as my moderated community?
