The article quotes the mod author as saying he made no money from the mods in question.

“The bar was underground and we only dug down a little before stepping over it”

It’s worse than that. That crackdown on clinics that you mention was started from a false premise. The T-Codes for death overdose that the CDC used for statistical analysis lumps a number of legally-prescribed painkillers into “other synthetic narcotics” (T40.4), and “other and unspecified narcotics” (T40.6). In a…

In large part, it came from a bad medical code, and led to many people who relied on opioid relief to deal with chronic pain being cut back or even cut off entirely. This didn’t magically make their debilitating pain go away, and many turned to less-regulated sources of relief, which then led to a compounding issue of…

The whole “opioid epidemic” was a pile of BS anyway, and the backlash laser-targeted hurting the victims rather than anyone actually causing problems.

“You blocked a load-bearing advertisement” sounds about right for this network.

Thank you for the genuine - if unintentional - hilarity here. A one-post account signs up just to say this, then vanish. Like... you’re not even trying.

I have no problem with getting logged out of other websites, and this is a new behavior specifically on Kotaku/kinja

Ah yes, the old standby of “hide-your-perspective-but-still-sneak-it-in-via-phrasing-and-framing” from traditional print news is far better...

Anyone else getting constantly logged out of the website now? Like, it used to stay logged in for weeks at a time. Now I have to log in almost every time I visit the site.

Huh, brand new account with no post history, coming here just to make the exact same point as several others spamming it. I’m sure you’re here in good faith, though.

I want to know how much play space and equipment mounting it needs. Are those motion tracking cameras on the headset, or do they have to be put around your living room?

Never have I been so happy that Yoshi-P runs his part of the company basically without interference.

“It’s everything we already have, but worse!”

Imagine a world where you can buy a game on Steam and then sell it or trade it to someone else later.

The NFT market has two kinds of people: 1. Scammers, and 2. Suckers. Money flows from the latter to the former. Oddly, the latter are also the loudest to defend NFTs, out of a blind refusal to admit they could possibly have been scammed.

I find that generally, people who say they don’t understand NFTs actually understand them just fine. It’s just that the concept is *so utterly stupid* that they assume there’s something being missed. There’s not. It’s stupid.

To be fair, everyone I know who owns FFXIV on Steam... still doesn’t launch it through Steam. (sorry, minor nitpick on an overall-good post)

So it sounds like there’s a corporate-stupidity reason that nearly every Square-Enix project not run by someone named “Nakoi Yoshida” has been stumbling in recent years.

No.
