Du sprichst von Leser und Leserin bei Alternativen und freien Entscheidungswahl, und das zeigt mir, dass du die Intention hinter Geschlechter gerechter Sprache nicht erkannt hast. Denn Geschlechter sind nicht auf die zwei Rollenbilder von Mann und Frau beschränkt, es ist nur die Norm geworden, während Inter geschlechtliche oder trans Menschen ignoriert bzw. überlesen werden. Leser*innen und Mitglieder*innen macht sämtliche Personen in Schrift sichtbar. Sie werden nicht in Rollenbilder gezwängt oder “einfach schon immer mit gemeint”.

Sprache und Schrift formt Denkmuster, das beweisen viele Studien und Straßen-Experimente, in denen bspw. nach erfolgreichen Schauspielern und anschließend erfolgreiche Schauspielerinnen gefragt wird. Selbst beim generischen Maskulinum ist die Sichtbarkeit eingeschränkt, so oft wir auch vorgeben wollen, alle mitzumeinen. Das Asterisk macht nun auch die anderen Vertreter*innen des Geschlechtsspektrums sichtbar.

Auch wenn laut Artikel die vorherigen Bestimmungen gelten, wirkt es doch alles sehr frustrierend. Gerade der Finanzierung wegen. Die Industriestaaten dürfen quasi ausbeuten, aber zahlen sollen alle gleichermaßen. Das ist unverhältnismäßig und unfair. Ich verstehe den globalen Süden komplett, wenn sie einen Fond wünschen, um mehr Mitspracherecht zu haben. Dass die konservativ geprägte EU das nicht bewilligt, spricht für die EU… Und zwar negativ. Gerade Konservative müssten doch den Naturerhalt erwünschen… Aber soweit geht Konservatismus natürlich nicht. Der Markt Die Natur regelt das schon. Amen.

Ich muss bei der EU mittlerweile immer wieder über Nico Semsrott und seine Präsentation denken. Und es lässt mich echt nicht hoffnungsvoll zurück.

Es ist so verdammt frustrierend…

Wann zum Geier gibt es endlich das AfD Verbotsverfahren? Wen muss ich mit E-Mails konfrontieren? Wie lange will der Verfassungsschutz die Partei noch auf der Liste beobachten? Wie lange dulden wir noch den intoleranten Teil der Gesellschaft? Wie lange dauert es noch, bis es wirklich zu spät ist, um diese Strukturen zu unterbrechen?

Ich habe so viele Fragen, und bleibe nur mit Frustration, Trauer, Schrecken und Wut zurück.

So eine starke und wichtige Folge.

Selbst nach diesen Darstellungen scheint der mediale Herr Doktor Kleinschnitz nicht verstanden zu haben, dass nicht nur ein Nebensatz an Witz zu seinem Namen gemacht wurde, sondern gravierende Probleme zu seinem Verhalten aufgedeckt hatte! So super unreflektiert und stehen geblieben, das frustriert hart. Ich hoffe, das Universitätsklinikum Essen kümmert sich um diese problematische Figur.

They forced unusual guidelines in the second half to influencers and streamers who have received a key from them.

That was so much fun!

I am so ready for this. The dual blade demon mode switches looked so amazing, and the animation in general. Ahh, I want to play it and enjoy it.

Please don’t disappoint me.

That’s the way to go into the future.

Must be due to the epic prison which they enforce as epic invested in its development (which is in their rights, but I really do not like due to how they achieved this in the long time since their exclusivity buyouts).

Something like !upliftingnews@lemmy.world (is this the correct syntax?) ?

More VR games are welcome… however, limiting an already small market by platform exclusivity on Meta Quest really doesn’t seem to be a great idea. I’m really sad about this.

I am so hyped for this title. I really dig its style and theme. Sadly it also has those pre order exclusive rewards, but meh, I can ignore it. 2024.10.11, I’ll be ready!

I had this issue a couple of months ago, when I tried to login via email. Try it with your username if you haven’t already.

Anno 1800 is a really great game by Ubisoft.

Thank you for your comment! You bring up many arguments regarding their stats I would have added, too, especially that it does cost them per claimed free game.

In my opinion though:

They will use these numbers of higher purchases towards shareholders and publishers. We can see their thought process: e.g. WB Suicide Squad - a game as a service squad loot shooter might potentially bring in a lot of money in the long run, so stop developing singleplayer, go for the player number.

Publishers with their IPs of games might get approached by Tim/Epic, that they should exclusively sell their games on their platform as they have so many active users per month, purchases of this and that high number, with currently x million registered accounts and growing, creating an increased player/customer commitment. And as a player’s library grows, their reluctance to commit to this platform decreases. Resulting in more money for the publishers if they follow Epics road, at least in a predicted long run.

They still have their budget to invest in the long term growth by offering free games and buying exclusitivity of third party titles (in the past), more and more though their own published or development supported titles nowadays (better if I ignore their past behavior).

They also increase their influence by introducing Easy Anti Cheat in more and more titles, which only works due to their reach in the market. This is especially troublesome for Linux players but also for those who do not trust Epic’s scanning procedure on ones tasks, processes, services and files (when we keep in mind how they scanned certain files in folders in the past).

If you should delete your account or not, I cannot say. Data can be interpreted in many ways, they can be read positively by highlighting certain aspects while neglecting others. The same, of course, the other way around.

I have not used my epic account for many years since their Metro bait and switch action, but still keep it as I still have the developer account from previous projects on the UE4. If I had to interpret the data of my account, I have it since a long time, but am no active user, reducing their commitment percentage of active engaging users with their storefront. And I can only hope the attrition rate increases so their store won’t become so attractive to publishers for future titles, reducing the chance of further (time) exclusive games.

We could have tried to discuss our differing views on that topic, but I will not force you.

Thank you for your elaborate opinion.

May I offer you a reading recommendation to form an informed opinion? I edited the comment with a link. Maybe it might just humor you.

As we do not have a community on Lemmy that I know of, here a complete explanation of their service, their misdoings and more. This is pretty in-depth with references to other postings as well as articles and sources.

The last times I checked, probably a year ago, for Monster Hunter World, this didn’t work as it only supported 1.x, but your comment made it seem like it can be swapped by a modern implementation. Is this really the case for MHW nowadays? That would be amazing!

I am missing an equivalent community to “fuck epic”. With all the relevant information of why this service is still not a good idea to follow, even by grabbing their games “for free”.
