Here’s a good breakdown: https://econreview.studentorg.berkeley.edu/unboxing-universal-basic-income/

As for my thoughts, yes there would be a noticeable impact at first, but UBI would help stabilise and strengthen the economy in the long term because purchasing power and demand will increase. If supply can keep up, prices won’t go up. Companies can’t just raise prices as that’s called price fixing. Antitrust laws should be there to prevent that, but your mileage may vary depending on your country. That means that if some companies decide to raise prices because of more purchasing power, some smart company is going to charge less to gain more market share. So we’re still doing capitalism, but there’s a social safety net.

Also, people will still go to work to find purpose. Except “work” in this case could mean the freedom and flexibility to contribute locally, or take higher risks like entrepreneurship or becoming an artist.

again, mature content != freedom to be abusive and toxic

You can get comn banned for telling someone to go fuck themselves yet the characters in the game can swear all they want.

While in-game characters might swear, it’s typically in scripted scenarios that aren’t directed at people, let alone real people. Trash talking teammates is a whole different can of “swearing”.

I’ve been comm banned for telling someone to kill themselves because they said they were gonna rape my daughter and after I reported them for it “this activity doesn’t go against our ToS” was the response.

Telling someone to kill themselves crosses a boundary. I mean, so did their comment, but you should have left it at the report instead of trying to go eye for eye. Usually they troll and bait you into saying things that you can get banned for.

If the game is rated m for mature then mature content should be allowed.

Maturity in ratings refers to the content of the game. A mature label isn’t a green light for abusive behaviour, but a warning about the content.

That being said, I do agree that bans can be misjudged / unfair when put into perspective.

Fuck all of them.

I’d argue that playing an M-rated game with gun violence and fairly absurd depictions of what is, in real life, increasingly pedestrian and legal drug use doesn’t entitle you to tell your teammates to kill themselves.

Exactly.

Sad to see you catching downvotes for answering a question.

I agree that not everyone is comfortable with all the different platforms, and I understand you opting for something potentially could be viewed by more people because of it.

Thanks for your reply, upvote from me

Just link the Bsky posts. I like Aftermath as an outlet but when a “news” article is just 2 embedded posts and some fluff, why not just directly link the source?

The Sonic/Shadow levels and the Chao Garden are the only reason this game is remembered well. I hope this remake fixes the terrible sound mixing, boring Tails/Eggman levels and frustrating Knuckles/Rouge levels.

I’m sure the Chao Garden mechanic has been made by someone already, I’ll see if I can find anything

92% of songs are about love or sex.

That’s got nothing to do with my personal taste, that’s sex selling (pop) music.

Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.

This song is about romance. They didn’t mean it literally.

Edit: I’m pretty sure I got baited but I’ll keep it up. Got me today, squid :P

No thanks. I would also like to see news that I don’t necessarily like, from sources I might not necessarily agree with.

It’s a bad thing not because it’s finite: your body makes hormones when it deems necessary. The issue is when you regularly have high levels of those hormones, it will cause effects like weight gain, fatigue and skin issues, to name a few.

Your heightened sense is a temporary mode at the cost of other functions of your body. Going back to your analogy, hormones influence things like a bunch of presets on your motherboard. Your body cranked up the CPU because you didn’t have enough sleep, but this will cost you in other areas like your immune system.

Unlike a computer, we can’t simply draw more energy from the wall to crank up the settings permanently. So these hormones/presets helps your body focus on what you need the most at that point, redistributing your available energy.

Your body is producing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to make it through the day. These hormones help with alertness in general.

It streamed games from a PC to a TV, ran 1,500 0f them natively, offered a strange (if somewhat lovable) little controller,

I have one, but I don’t remember it having a controller or running 1500 games natively. Or am I reading this wrong?

I’m not gonna watch the whole video, so apologies if this is addressed in the video.

It’s not necessarily a problem of the engine. Sure, there are bugs, compatibility problems, regression, etc that will happen from time to time, setting back development milestones or simply just break existing games until they are patched.

But, the cause here is the people using the tools: AAA-studios have laid off so much staff that experts regarding UE(5) aren’t involved anymore. Plus, QA, and by extension optimization, has been hit hard too.

So you got developers who don’t fully know how to use the engine to its fullest, and a gutted QA department that won’t be able to get all the issues reported, tested and prioritized anymore.

I’m not upset about it, I’m just trying to receive recommendations on content curation.

Does scrolling past 5 posts that aren’t even in your language sound like an appealing Lemmy experience?
