Top mods of subs can delete them iirc, they should have just done that upon being threatened with replacement- delete all the css, unban anyone banned or alternatively ban as many people as possible and all the known admins, remove all the rules and spam filters, then delete it- so if they do resurrect it from the bin it’ll be as messed up as possible as the biggest F u to the admins you possibly can.
My bad, bought out was the wrong way to word it- I should have said “Made partnerships with-” then listed Google and Yahoo(defunct), China and Russia.
If you watch this video discussing how privacy respect firefox is by default- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8UFJzpNls you’ll see the telemetry they collect is miles long and Firefox is no better at protecting your privacy than Chrome/Chromium is whatsoever.
Definitely recommend Librewolf or Mullvad, which are actual privacy respecting browsers, even Chromium forks like Brave are better than default firefox.
So, I wanted to ask the community what they think about this game? I tried the demo years ago back when it first debuted on steam, I thought it was alright, I’m not really a big fan of battle royal type games but I thought this one was fairly unique and executed decently enough....
Saw a game on Google Play that had great reviews (4.6k AVG with 77k reviews) so downloaded it thinking I finally might have found a good mobile game only to find it was trash like almost every mobile game I’ve ever tried....
Yes, I’d say if you cut out the pc/console to mobile ports then 95% of mobile games are hot garbage that aren’t even worth the data its saved to, as they are most likely just thinly veiled spyware looking to suck as much of your money up as possible with as little effort as possible.
Like others have said, its like looking for a needle in a haystack of flaming hot garbage.
Just gotta dig? Dude like 95% of what you just listed are just pc/console game ports to mobile, does that really count as a ‘mobile game’ I’m not too sure, I think theyre still originally regular games that have been slimmed down and ported to phones.
I suppose it depends on how you look at the question, when I hear the question “Are all mobile games just garbage” I think it’s asking about mobile games specifically, not mobile ports of regular games to phone operating systems.
Personally, I dont think a game becomes a ‘mobile game’ just because it was ported to a mobile platform, in that case we could start calling literally every game that’s steam deck or switch compatible mobile games since they can be played on the go with a steamdeck or switch, or going further back, a PSP, DS/Gameboy etc.
A mobile game in my view, is a ‘game’ developed solely for the app stores of phones, and when you use that definition, then yes- almost all mobile games are flaming hot garbage that are more likely spyware & skinner boxes with ads meant to siphon money to skip the tedium.
Any weird/controversial opinions? I’ll start. Before the remake, the best version of Resident Evil 4 was the Wii version. The Wiimote controls old Resi’s tank controls better than any other controller at the time. The PC version had a bunch of little bugs and detractors that the Wii version just doesn’t have....
Gaming has and will continue on a downhill trend for years to come because ‘gamers’ are ignorant slobbering idiots that happily consume any diarrhea that the corps shieeet out onto their plate because their standards are so gawddamn low that they defend and buy literally any piece of SHIT game their favorite mega corp plops out for them.
Oh, and every major company has been infiltrated by non-gamers who want to force their views and politics into them so they can propagandize in video games to the masses & achieve higher ESG scores for their black*ock corporate overlords.
Every site on the internet besides ultra niche ones have bots nowadays- infact recent studies have found that the amount of bots on the internet are starting to equal and will soon surpass actual human users.
Yea, its still unfeasible for many people with long drives to work or school- or infrastructure around them which isn’t fast enough or built at all.
The newest and best offers for sale nowadays could probably suit you- 300mi/480km~ is pretty common nowadays and the Ioniq 5/Ev6 charge back up to near full in about 30~ mins. But those cars are out of reach for anyone out of middle income/higher middle income.
Oh, Toyota’s strategy isnt Cynical, its a deliberate choice by the higher ups to champion hybrid, hydrogen and refuse to join in the EV party- its not some cynical idea that ev’s aren’t here to stay or wont take off.
Not having ads? Lmao what? It literally spams you to buy nitro every chance it gets & it’s not exactly free- they harvest quite literally every single drop of information they possibly can about you.
If you boil down every single aspect of information they possibly can gather on you to “analytics”- sure, however Discord got rid of the functionality to disable analytic data collection years ago iirc, and the button to ‘delete my information’ was removed around the same time- and replaced with the ‘request my data’ button.
But you should also know if you install it, it’s been claimed (I’m too lazy to look it up, I just know that I’ve read/watched a video about it years ago) that it collects data on what you do across your entire pc, to at least the same extent that microsoft’s default telemetry does. This is due to them monitoring your pc at all times so it can integrate with whatever game you are playing- of course.
