My solution for this is just to not spend money in game

I kind of disagree. What are Drake and Lamar gonna do, go after one of the biggest names in rap? That really went well for MGK 😂

That said, he'd totally be debasing himself for the equivalent of a petty squabble so I also agree lol

Roku wants to patent the ability to display ads when consoles connected to its TVs are paused by spankinspinach in c/games@sh.itjust.works

This is at the point where just not displaying ads at every corner is becoming a viable business plan

I am utterly shellshocked by how much I'm enjoying Helldivers 2. It's been a very long time since I've daydreamed about going home to play but I just can't wait to blast some bugs with friends most days. It's like I'm 10 again

Canadian here. Minor correction: he didn't speak, but he was invited as a Ukrainian "hero" by the speaker of the house (a member of the sitting elected party). He was applauded - twice - for his "service". Including by Ukrainian president zelensky.

The only 'defense' I can offer is that our prime minister had no input on the matter, and Hunka's Nazi service came out after the fact. Canada does not support fascism or Nazism...

But it's a bad look, no matter how you cut it...

That's what I've been "missing"!!! I haven't seen an ad for months. Yay Lemmy 😁

And now Bezos is trying to insert ads everywhere by spankinspinach in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

I actually find myself wondering lately "what's so bad about stable (+/- 5%/annum) profits for some stretches of time." Sure you're not eating up market share, but a couple million in the pocket every year really isn't that bad...

I... May not be cut out for capitalism...

What is the one most astonishingly dumb things that, as a child, you believed was absolute truth? by spankinspinach in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I thought black and what television was black and white because history happened in black and white. I suppose that means life in colour happened after the invention of colour tv
