Word of mouth provided by pirates is still great for the AAA games industry, regardless of what they’ll tell you, and only helps perpetuate these bad practices you’re pirating to get away from. 99.9% of users are unwilling to pirate games, and thus when you reference them, say you played or enjoyed them, talk about pirating them, etc., it’s essentially just free advertising for those games to people who would in all likelihood just purchase them if they wanted them.

Meanwhile, playing indie games gives those devs some cash flow to keep developing and gives free, word of mouth advertising to other people through references, recommendations, etc. The more successful indie games with good practices are, the better the games industry as a whole. It’s not a zero-sum game, but there is some tradeoff involved.

Why pirate shitty AAA games when you can spend your time getting a better experience by supporting indie devs financially and in word of mouth?

I’ll look into it; thank you!

There isn’t a meaningful difference; gachas are just a subset of lootboxes, and anybody claiming otherwise is a player lying to themselves or is a game publisher defending themselves from these predatory practices.

Still forgot to make up for the lost day yesterday, so I’ll have to do that today. I’m so sorry for anyone who’s missed their fix of these awful, awful posts.

I once again forgot yesterday just from being too busy, so I’ll be doing another one later.

“Another day has passed and I still haven’t used the notion that the height of something on a slope is equal to the horizontal distance from the start of the slope times the steepness of the slope plus the initial height of the slope off the ground.” I swear people treat math as something you explicitly need to sit down and write the equations for to get any use out of instead of just, like, them being useful to make you a more logical, well-rounded thinker. It’s like thinking the sole point of reading Of Mice and Men in 8th grade is so that you can randomly recite quotes from it years later.

Teletubbies is an eldritch horror story for 3-year-olds; CMV.

You and OP should keep in mind for all of our sakes that France is a nuclear-armed state.

I genuinely never noticed until now how much Juliette Danielle is trying not to laugh in this scene, and in fact right after this her body starts jolting in a way that you can tell she’s laughing inaudibly.

Lmfao, no clue why you’re being downvoted so much. It’s absolutely true that the camel-case here looks like a clusterfuck, even when it’s easily explained.

You recognize that Mastodon, the software, is developed by a non-profit called Mastodon gGmbH?

“Apple’s new estate planning app” was one of the ones I had planned for this awful contingency.

Option 3 won: skip the lyrics. It won by four points (accounting for both upvotes and downvotes).

This is officially the last line of dialogue before the first sex scene (which I don’t think has any dialogue, but which I’ll watch to make sure). There’s still a poll open in Day 38’s shitpost, so be sure to vote there if you want to! Option 3, no lyrics, is currently winning, but Option 1 is very close. Remember that you can vote for multiple however you want to. Whatever gets decided there will be applied to all four sex scenes.

PS: I think he’s actually saying “Oh, Lisa, you’re nice. Oh, yes.” But I just ran with what was in the subtitles because it’s barely audible, and so I can’t say for sure.

Option 3: Cover no lyrics whatsoever. (ex. “I will, I will, I will” gets zero posts.)

Pros:

• This is technically the correct interpretation, as I started this challenge saying “every line of dialogue”; lyrics aren’t dialogue.
• No NSFW screenshots, so viewable in public.
• The lyrics are probably among the least funny parts of this movie.

Cons:

• You miss out on all of the lyrics and screenshots no matter how funny they are. There are four of these in the movie, so that’s at least a few months’ worth of content and 10+ minutes of the film.
• You potentially cheapen the challenge and make it feel less-than-whole, even if it’s technically, pedantically correct.

Option 2: Cover every single line no matter how often it’s repeated. (ex. “I will, I will, I will” gets three separate posts)

Pros:

• You get to see my mental state slowly deteriorate as these lyrics repeat over and over.
• You maximize the number of shitposts.

Cons:

• This is going to take an eternity. For example, the standalone line “I will” is said 21 consecutive times in the first sex scene, meaning three real-world weeks of increasingly deteriorating shitposts. There are four sex scenes total, which will take at least several months.

Option 1: Cover all unqiue lyrics one time each and skip repeated lyrics. (ex.: “I will, I will, I will” gets condensed to one post.)

Pros:

• This is the only reasonable compromise between two extremes.
• This means that you still get to “experience” every lyric without them wearing thin.
• You give me a modest challenge.

Cons:

• As a compromise, this means that people who don’t want the lyrics and sex scenes still have to experience them, and the purists who want every single line miss out.
