Counterpoint, 90% of dogs are companion pets and police dogs are selectively bred and trained for taking down suspects. Plus, how many of those people die? Predators don’t risk injury while hunting unless completely starved, wolves are pack hunters that surround their prey.

For real, but Grizzlies are the second worst outcome you could end up with in the bear category.

I’ve dealt with wolves at the wildlife sanctuary before. They’re big stupid smelly dogs. If you can flex your arm real good they won’t be able to tear into you, and if you can put your weight on them you’ve already won.

Definitely don’t recommend it for people with brittle bones, or discord mods, but I’m jacked af bro.

You’re not completely wrong, but if safety is your concern then you should really be operating under the assumption that the animal will attack you. In that case you’ve chosen a 200 kg gorilla who can climb over a 40 kg wolf who can’t. Bears are actually the heavier of the three depending on race and gender, and some of them can climb while others cannot.

Can men participate as judges in the tourney, this time?

Wolf. It’s a singular wolf, so it honestly cannot beat me if it tried. Even if we assume the other two are more docile, all they need to do is try and I would be dead.

After about a week they make the lowest tiered manager start pulling with the horse for an extra 30c and then that manager quits and eventually the company realizes infinite growth is no longer possible so they sell out to another company.

Well, I guess we could make memes about Xi Jinping removing his own term limits, being elected by 98% of congress (somebody was absent), burning down temples, sending troops to quell protests, filling in the sea, splattering harmful rocket fuel and sometimes parts from booster engines across populated areas, attacking Philippine fishing boats, or the concentration camps. Idk. Seem kind of in poor taste. Except for filling in the sea, thats got potential.

How about a meme about homeless people who have assigned homes outside of the district they live and work in.

Perhaps memes as a form of criticism of socioeconomic structures headed by authoritarianism is only something dumbasses like maoists do?

Nah, what am I saying, everything and anything can and should be made fun of.

Yeah that’s double legs debby. Notoriously has two left feet.

At the same time, lawyers also fight the phenomenon because if your product name becomes the concept itself it loses all trademark enforcement. There’s a chart posted on this site somewhere that shows words losing trademark status because of court rulings, but I guess I didn’t save it. The term is “genericized trademark”.

It literally is Sped up, though. You can’t say it’s not that. (rainstorm)

It feels like people do it so commonly while making such weak arguments that it might be a bot trying to parse the prior comment. Feels like it doesn’t have use in any other circuimstance.

Valve has also published 8 games in 10 years. They did acquire Campo Santo studios between 2016 and 2018 which lead to the delayment of Valley of the Gods because Valve put the studio’s members on other projects including Steam, Dota Underlords, and Half Life: Alyx.

I’m sorry. You’re right. Feel free to eat my ass.

Not every large game company acts this way.

I’d like you to name a large game company that hasn’t done this, I’m not aware of a single one.

This is also not what he did at all - he didn’t restructure the studios after buying them, he closed them and laid off their employees.

Incorrect, employees are being moved to different studios. I’m unaware how many, if any, are being laid off. For example, Roundhouse is being assigned to Zenimax who run Elder Scrolls Online which is admittedly actually a pretty cool game.

He’s a known liar (just a year ago he claimed Arkane will continue to polish Redfall, now Arkane Austin has closed before giving people DLC they already paid for)

A corporate hack who is in touch with what gamers want is still better than some other out of touch corporate shill, as the state of gaming exemplifies every single day. On the subject of Redfall, it’s no surprise that studio got shut down after the incredible failures at launch, they clearly were never qualified to work on the title anyways, and that’s hardly Phil Spencer’s fault.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Lmfao from the first name on this list I can tell you that 7 days to die is not running kernel level anti-cheat. You’ve illustrated you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Kernel Level anticheat requires that it runs at startup of your computer. Examples are Riot’s Vanguard and nProtect’s GameGuard (which Helldivers 2 uses).

Idk, Kotaku isn’t exactly a good source for ethics in this industry. They list something that every single large game company does: buy studios, move talent around, close the old studios. They also talk about how he claims to champion preservation and emulation, something we all agree with.

I vote he stays.

Right, I’ll add an edit. Sometimes discussion aren’t meant for the other side, it’s for the viewers.

It’s probably 2x2PT or something. There are standards for board widths.

Name a few.

From my perspective, they made an outlandish statement that I vehemently disagreed with, if anything my response was more civil than usual.

EDIT: they not you

Lmao, I can think of exactly 2 publishers who do this and they’re getting shredded by critics, rn. Security experts think it’s a fucking joke for the company and the users alike. Hopefully not “the way the industry is going”, more likely to get banned in modern nations, soon.

Ignorance, especially willful, is not only a good definition of stupid but also a form of evil itself.

It’d be cool if yall could ask them to remove the rootkit too, but IK the average helldiver player is already too stupid to care about that issue.

The musk of a small child’s room with an oaky menthol finish.

We need to get an uplifting news community on Lemmy, it’s nothing but gritty depressing headlines here.

Part of the contractual agreement between the studios was that Obsidian would only earn their “bonus” if the game performed well and got an 85 on Metacritic. Somehow, FO:NV missed that rating at the last moment and only scored an 84, denying obsidian the promised money.

Ha, as if Obsidian would work on another fallout when they didn’t get paid for the last one.

Youtube Ads used to be for pizza restaurants and lawnmowers.

Now they want me to join a fucking cult that worships alphabeta-blocking milkshakes.

I’m so happy you’re absolutely fine with your security and privacy being compromised, but it doesn’t make it right.

Remember when rumours killed Tobuscus’ career and he went insane?

YES! FUCK YEAH, THATS WHAT MORE PEOPLE NEED TO DO WHEN OFFERED A CHANCE TO SHILL!

Hah, if that were accurate then Wags would be a dude.

Kind of ironic that they chose a thumbnail image of a character from a game suffering a slow decline and death due to being abandoned by the studio, with item server outtages and waves of bots and hackers that the community have created their own methods to deal with.

Other than that, I completely unironically agree!

Extra extra, shill denies shillery

Since the butthurt mods didn’t like it and removed the comment, I’ll summarize it for future readers:

A wave of downvotes hits every comment critical of Helldivers 2. This whole post and discussion is paid shillery.

People forgetting to put the /s in here gonna convince some special needs kids to leak their SSN and get ransomware on their phones.

Your comment’s score has convinced me that the above post is just paid shillery to promote helldivers.

Yeah one of those probably.

Stephen Segal losing weight these days?

You go to The PLACE, huh? I personally stick to That Destination, not to be confused with The PLACE or That Quad.
