I assume it was just a miss when they overhauled the code. You can probably block it through the website on your account in the meantime.

If they were actually in league with the casinos, they would never admit the calls were wrong.

Gamer can wait until the day a good game comes out, a company needs hype to build it's brand for stock holders.

This is absolutely not true, gamers freak out whenever a game is delayed, even for good reason. And people were absolutely causing a huge fuss about whether or not there was going to be an ES6 so they released a teaser to say that it was coming eventually.

The shareholders would only want them to release the teaser if the goal was the sell stock immediately. Any bump in price from the teaser would even out after probably just a few months.

I thought the title was saying Amazon was going to release a video game based on the Fallout series next year and was like “a video game adaption of a tv series adaptation of a video game?”

For what it’s worth, you can’t use public domain to make a copy of someone else’s take on that public domain character. It’s like how Winnie the Pooh is public domain but you can’t make a Winnie the Pooh with a red shirt and no pants since thats clearly Disney’s version which isn’t public domain.

For what it’s worth, it’s almost never worth it to give any company “the benefit of the doubt”. For single player games, there’s pretty much no reason to play it right when it releases unless you’re impatient. I choose to think of the games release date as a beta release. If I’m super excited, I may choose to play a game in beta but usually I’ll wait for the final release. Then when all the initial issues (which all games have, just some way more than others) have been fixed, I’ll consider the game actually released and buy it for a fraction of the initial cost.

I don’t know that I’ve played a single game that’s released this year yet. And those games will still be just as good next year (likely better) for less cost.

There are rules about attending practices in person or using electronic devices to aid in sign stealing. But if you just notice your opponent using a specific sign and it correlating certain plays or schemes, that’s just part of the game. It’s a team’s responsibility to obfuscate their signs, otherwise why use signs at all? If you weren’t allowed to see what the sideline is signaling to the players, just hold the play name up on a card, then you could save time teaching kids the signals.

I’m guessing the investigation is more to make sure they didn’t use one of the outlawed methods, and I’m willing to bet they didn’t and just got pretty good at figuring out signs. Or are just good enough that teams think that’s what they’re doing.

I think a similar thing happened between fanaticus.social and lemmy.world but I’m not sure what they did to fix it.

Maybe no one wanted to admit it

So was this a sting? I’m not sure how he didn’t realize something was off when “accident” and “normal shooting” were the same price

For what it’s worth, I don’t think “girls, gays, and theys” was ever meant to be inclusive of everyone. It’d be more like replacing “the boys” in “I was just out with the boys”.

Geez that’s one of the most viscious hits I’ve ever seen. That should be the definition of a penalty. I hope the receiver is ok

So he gets slightly more than the franchise tag, but I’m not sure how this helps him much since it just means he’ll be in the same situation next year.

Seems trading Lance is on the table, but I’m not sure he’d fetch much, and definitely nothing close to what the 49ers gave up for him.

 

I started playing again recently and I have a special research to add new friends. I’d also like to be able to exchange gifts with someone from a different biome for the Vivillon patterns.

Anyone want to share friend codes?

 

I’ve been having issues with my account for over a week. I made a post here a week ago detailing some of the issues (I made it on the wrong account and I can’t even see it on this account now). Essentially, every community I visit that’s not on Lemm.ee will be missing posts and I can’t see any of my own posts. I’ve tried through Memmy and the website with the same results. I also tried making a post on a community from a different instance and it posted to a completely different community on a completely different instance. And then when I tried to go back to it to delete it, I couldn’t find it because I can’t see my posts, eventually someone commented on it and I could get to it through my inbox.

This is already my second account so I could get off lemmy.world and I’d like to not have to create another one so I’d love any insight on steps I can try to resolve this. Or worst case, delete this account so I can try remaking it with the same username. I like this instance so I’d like to be able to use my account here if possible.

This is the second year in a row the Bengals have had a fight at a joint practice, but it seems like a Packers player started this. One player does say this would never happen in a game but practice is a little different because there’s no consequences. I think this is a good example that there probably should’ve been consequences for Aaron Donald last year, that was definitely over the top and that would make players think twice about it.

 

I recently tried out Top - 6 Hours for my default sort instead of Hot and liked it but felt I didn’t use the app enough and was missing things. Because of this, I decided to try out Top - Day. However, when setting it as the default sort or setting it manually on the feed page, it says there’s no posts. The same thing happens for Top - 12 Hours. Unless I’m misunderstanding, it doesn’t make sense for posts to appear in the 6 hour version but not the 12 hour or day version. I also tried a couple other Top timeframes and they seemed to work fine. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I didn’t see anything in the list of issues.
