This may be considered #HotTakes by some, I consider these #based: (no ragebait inteded!)

If you have a problem with these, please kindly fuck off in silence!

This list is non-exhaustive...

Ernsthaft: Da will ich den ganzen Kiddies einfach nur nen #Ambernic #RG35XXSP empfehlen, weil der kostet weniger als so'n #Schrott!

  • Bei #OGame haben sich die Entwickler wenigstens noch die Mühe gemacht nen gutes Game zu entwickeln!

I remember the first time I played the browser #game #Travian, back in the days people who paid got called cheaters and were kind of shamed of doing it. Today, somehow #p2w is normal, youtubers openly claim to pay and some go as far as self-identifying as a whale. I don't know at which point it became normal but I think we should go back to normal disc or subscription based games. I think I'm not alone saying it used to be better

"Why do I play them? Because I find it interesting to see how players go out of their way to pretend that they care about other people. Non-Aggression Pacts generally spring up (NAPs), which generally elevate some and cause the lowest levels to constantly be raided and losing the virtual resources they have gathered. Eventually the lower levels get upset, quit the game, and with a lack of new players, the server eats itself. Every single time."

@sodiboo @tauon @puppygirlhornypost2 @silly

Worse is even the #Tablet market: #Android #Tablets may be plentyful if you just go sheer listings, but in terms of #MarketShare they are negigible in "the global north" and thus not interesting for #developers to even bother adapting or testing for unless they themselves are #GAFAMs.

  • It's really fucking sad when @thunderbird is one of the few #Apps that I know that properly use Android Tablets' screen estate at all. Allegedly #Microsoft's own Apps do so as well but I myself have no #AndroidTablet and can't bring myself over the gag reflex trying to sideload #OneNote or any other App and having to deal with yet another shitty account...

Whereas on #iPadOS you get AA+ and #IndieGames worth their money by a long shot.

  • Don't even get #developers like @fuchsiii started on how piss-poor premium Apps on #Android sell and how that Tablet segment is essentially dead outside of markets where people can buy a house and a years' worth of necessities for the price of a single #iPad...

And that's why there are only #PayToLoose / #P2L aka. "#PayToWin" / #P2W games for #Android as #piracy is rampant and statistically noone is willing to pay for a #OneTimePurchase #Game on that platform.

@emilianosandri I think the "#DigitalDetox" #cult is a counter-reaction to #screentime being used as a #metric to do #Enshittification, worsen the experience and increasing amounts of shitty #shovelware and #PayToLoose (#P2L) aka. "#PayToWin" (#P2W) games!

What @tomscott parodized in one segment of a video is an actual business of avusing people with harmful patterns!

I'm so pleased that player base has gone dry.

From having 270K to 8K at best, representing a 97% decrease since almost a year when it launched 30th June 2024.

Only 3% of the player base are either simps, bitches, or saudi princes.

@hisold OFC #Cheats are a way to learn how to "#hack" as in "What if I change the value at this address?"

And I still do recommend anyone interested in #IT and espechally #ITsec to build themselves their own #airgapped #HomeLab to "#FuckAroundAndFindOut!" safely within.

  • Kinda like a "Dojo" (something that costs $$ per hour in terms of a "remote lab" to even be given access in)...

And with #AntiP2W becoming mainstream as well as Players despising #P2W / #PayToWin / #Pay2Win (aka. #P2L / #PayToLoose / #Pay2Loose) as well as literal #gambling on some #Minecraft servers, I don't blame Kids that feel shafted (harder than #Millenials like myself back in the days of #HabboHotel) if they decide to fuck with servers rather than scamming other players
