I like anime because I’m weird.

Easy, just send him back in time.

That’s a very elaborate way to spell “leeches”.

I’ve heard games like Elite are less problematic, since you’re sitting still and the vehicle is moving. Apparently that makes it more natural, compared to moving around on foot in the game but standing still in real life.

In the case of Star Citizen, they used to support it, but since the game is still being actively developed in the alpha stage it kept breaking. Not worth the time and money to keep fixing it, so they put it on hold. As far as I know, they still plan to support it after the main feature set is stabilized and they go into polishing mode.

But I agree, it would be great if it still/already had native support.

We are slowly turning ourselves into Krikkit.

You may be thinking of the sequel, Gulf War II

The problem is all the other people voting the wrong way with their bigger wallets.

I saw someone posit that he might have a humiliation fetish. It’s the only explanation I’ve seen that seems rational.

We have truly come full circle.

“How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb.”

From reading the article, it sounds like Spotify itself doesn’t get directly affected. Instead, the record companies and advertisers are upset. The record companies, because the shared pool of royalties that gets paid out is now getting split with white noise creators, leaving them a smaller share of the pie. The advertisers, because most people listening to white noise are using it to fall asleep or just keeping it on in the background, and therefore nobody will be listening/paying attention when the ads come on.

Tough titties for them, you may say, but if they don’t like it, they may take their respective balls and go home. That would seriously impact Spotify, since without the music, most users will quickly lose interest, and the advertisers are a large part of their revenue stream. If they don’t do something, they could end being a streaming service predominantly for white noise, which would be far less profitable.

It should also be taken into account that a lot of the white noise hits were not organic, but the result of a problem with how Spotify set up their algorithm.

I agree in general, but search feels like an odd example. That space has been dominated by ad companies since even before the internet (e.g., Yellow Pages).

Now that’s putting the “shit” in “shitpost”.

It’s tubular!

I prefer to believe the cleaner did know english, but he didn’t think to try.
