I think it's overhyped, but it's not as if there's nothing good there.
It's goofy, it's got those building and travel mechanics people like from other games, you can capture a cute/funny team of animals that people love from pokemon, it's a good stream game with multiplayer which means lots of free publicity
I think it could be way better than it is, but it's easy to see how it got to where it is.
I mean, you can grandstand all you want while you have no platforms to safely do it on. Pretty sure having working products for privacy is more important to activism than one guy being an asshole.
I'm...honestly surprised you can be on lemmy when you damn products over singular people. Just cause I know there's people who have tried to dissuade others from lemmy over the developers. And in that case the people involved are even closer to the code than a CEO would be.
I mean, it's more like I wanted to see more discussion about brave. It's not even like it's talking about things the CEO specifically did to the browser, it's just talking about the CEO.
And yeah I'm complaining about different threads in a post, when 3 comments are about the browser and like 15 are about the CEO.
If you have something to say negative about brave from this feature, that's cool, but I'm not seeing it.

It will absolutely spoil. Ichiban's partner is the main character of the original 0-6
Plus the Yakuza series really doesn't care about spoiling. They will do what they need to catch up players who don't care about that. So if they want to do a story point that requires spoilers, they will just tell you what happened.
I mean it's fine to critique the DNC as long as we don't ignore the current political climate. We had an insurrection, confidential documents were stolen, spies were killed.
That president worked with his party to get several justices who have caused a divisive climate over abortion, which has had several state upsets due to it being more unpopular than initially believed.
The President responsible for this is currently buried in court cases. He is the presumed frontrunner for his party despite everything listed. The most likely reason he wants it above his dictatorial speeches is that he wants a pardon for everything he's done up until now. That at the end of the day is the problem that nothing else can really beat out, but if we really had to add anything, it's that he hasn't even shown to be opposed to any of the things that are negatively affecting the current President.
Like I didn't think he was a great President, but it's pretty much everything he did going out the door that made it clear he shouldn't come back. For all of DNCs issues, it was absolutely the republican party at the end of the day that made the situation we have today. The DNC was just incompetent to do anything about it.
I think the general issue with a lot of anti-DNC posts lately is that they come off as "We will vote for a party that doesn't win on any level of government, just to show our opinion"
Which...seems to ignore that one party is trying to erode voting rights, which would make it hard to fix these issues long-term, and assumes that DNC would take it they lost votes to a third party....which lets be real here, if you already think they don't pay attention, they won't when you do that. It also comes off as a bit insincere, since if you truly are against the DNC...you should be trying to build the 3rd parties enough to actually win in some states, before trying to take on the presidency...I there probably aren't even enough states that know who the third parties are to possibly get them elected at this time.
So yeah, mainly my problem with a lot of anti-DNC posts isn't so much they make the democrats to be incompetent. They honestly are. It's that they seem to ignore the the domestic threats coming from the other party, and bury into some completely unrealistic goals currently.
And yes, I will just say it: We have failed as a civilization. No actions will prevent another genocide in the current political climate. It is supported bipartisan. It is literally one of the only things supported bipartisan.
People are always heated for political discussions, but that was not the discussion back then.
It was literally the first election I voted in. It was mostly people making fun of trump/hillary. It was definitely not a "not the time" kindof discussion. The bleak discussion currently going on is semi-recent.
...If they're a DNC heavy site, then go to a normal site. Even reddit is going to be more normal. It'd be like going to truth.social and trying to argue anything about Trump.
I've never heard of metafilter in all my life.
But I still checked the articles in 2016 (it has an archive) and it was definitely not the discussions we're having now.
edit: I don't see anything like that in the 2000 elections for bush either.
