You always capitalise[sic] Russia, but then generalise[sic] “the west”.

What kind of US Defaultism is this? Capitalise and generalise are 100% correct in British English.

In the whole world?

I'd say posting paywalled links is just as much allowing misinformation, as nobody can check what the article is saying unless they pay up.

So why not both? Post the article plus the archive link, everybody wins.

If you're sharing news and want people to discuss, you should make it as accessible as possible.

Isn't that the whole point of lemmy?

Nah, you can't patent gameplay mechanics unless they are super specific and interconnected.

Taking what's good from other games and turning it into something new (or similar) is known as remixing and it happens all the time. Like mentioned in another comment, Palworld did this by taking the fun elements of different genres / vibes (Pokémon, Survival games, Shooters) and making that into a game.

Even the Pokémon Company had to put a statement out basically telling the Xitter drama seekers to shut up and stop reporting the game for infringement, because there wasn't any.

Just make sure (like you already mention) not to use assets, sounds, names and other IP related subjects.

Statistics might be hard. But there's studies https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/homophobes-might-be-hidden-homosexuals/

Next to these studies there's also examples of staunch anti-queer people who later got caught being queer themselves, especially politicians.

Seems like a lot of folks are not really interested in the quirky sport, so saying fans are rejoicing because of this announcement sounds like they don't really understand why people played HL.

Its like saying Dark Souls fans rejoice because From Software announced a fitness spinoff called Yoga with Solaire. Okay actually, they might. Bad example.

I'm glad they finally added directly beaming them to your smartphone.

Well, directly is a stretch. But at least the direct WiFi method means I didn't have to use a throwaway twitter account anymore to transfer my screenshots and video captures without removing the SD card.

Every single one has a username like danger -skyscraper-1376

The usernames are randomly generated when creating an account. It could simply be people that can't be bothered to change it, like I did.

It's no secret that old popular posts including popular top comments are reposted by bots though.

Interesting website. They have a page about prayer too https://whywontgodhealamputees.com/superstition.htm

They still finished 30+ seconds behind the lead, so not a win but maybe higher
