Huh, what makes this a use case in favor of case sensitive file names? How does git use this feature?

Unfortunately the low effort political tribalism is likely to just increase as we approach the US elections.

Just block and move on. You'll eventually end up curating your Lemmy experience to not include the type of folks posting low effort shit like this.

This puts it nicely and succinctly. It's important to remember that the USA has single states larger than some European countries. It's enormous.

For as much diversity as there is in wherever you are from... just compare the sizes and think a little.

Trying to take pieces of information, even when from reputable news sources, and apply it to the entirety of this massive place with a wildly diverse population like it's some sort of insider information that magically applies to all or even most is foolish.

Cheating in a multiplayer game is a shitty move, regardless of motivation.

They released safer seas (pvp-less servers) if you don't want to be hassled.

If child voices bug you (squeakers), go to the options, mute voice chat from non-crewmates. Turn on auto captions for voice chat if you're worried about missing something or them sneaking up on you because you can't hear them.

While I can see how that idea works incredibly well with the themes of the game, and I don't think the game was ever going to get a traditionally satisfying conclusion... there's a lot of cut content lying around in the files, on top of the "phantom episode" stuff from the collector's disk that was included in the special edition that documents the work in progress next chapter they had to cut.

Hideous Kojambles is a great auteur, but they idea that all of that was just a front to further emphasize the themes doesn't ring true to me.

Very frustrating, especially when the book itself has a lot of fairly direct "this is symbolism/allegory/not to be interpreted literally" statements within.

Blanket elitism about atheism, or rather blatant anti-theism, is one of mine.

OSRS players are too busy trying to optimize everything down to the game tick.

The model hasn't changed, but as development of new content has continued, 95% of new content is subscription only.

That said, I can't speak for Runescape "proper" aka Runescape 3, the current "main" version. I've heard a lot of concerning things about all sorts of mobile game style predatory shit going on there.

I've only played Runescape 2, now called "Old School Runescape", which is a fork of the game from (I think) 2006.

Essentially, right around that time they completely overhauled combat, stat progression, and a bunch of other stuff, and called it Runescape 3. A lot of people didn't like the changes and started hosting custom servers from before the changes.

Eventually they made an official version, called it Old School Runescape, and have been developing it side by side with "normal" Runescape since.

Old School isn't predatory in my opinion. Outside of occasional "leagues" on special servers with specific challenges applied, there's no FOMO. The f2p game has plenty of content enjoyable on its own. The subscription just unlocks a mountain of more content, including alternative ways to level up through early game. Technically you can advance faster with a subscription, but that's due to having more options to turn into an over optimized plan, not some shit exp multiplier or something.

modern frameworks

Bold assumption they're using anything remotely modern.

Ehhh. The Kojima thing is at least somewhat understandable. He knew Konami was going to boot him out. Nothing like a constant reminder of who made the magic happen in the game they didn't let him finish creating.
