Well shit, that's concerning. Even if it's more nuanced than it seems at first glance... Which, to be fair, is probably even more nefarious in the end. Terms agreements are wack enough to begin with.

And the name means "bouncy pig"

Not a dad, but I miss mine... Love those kids, my dudes. It'll never feel like enough on either end, but if you're lucky, that'll somehow be a good thing. And call em if you got em!

I swear I'm trying to be uplifting and not a downer! Spread the love, boys.

I nearly hedged and over explained like a party pooper, but I fought the urge lol. Great minds think alike ;) (and maybe dysfunction in eerily similar ways?)

yes apt is way more adult friendly than nix

Lmao, I hadn't even considered my wording there

My main motivation is inclusion on my resume, and I'm left mulling over usernames instead of contributing! I also don't want to be too personally identifiable for whatever random thing I want to chime in on, so maybe bifurcating is a good solution.

Definitely feel like I'll end up in a similar spot and barely use the "official" one. I do see people with full names and all working on and sharing whatever they please, like through Lemmy. I just wish I had the nads to embrace it and not worry about connecting myself to bs memery. Damn social anxiety. Don't look at me!

I laughed at "adult friendly" but that's seriously apt.

You would say that, TurtleFucker!

For sure. I wasn't even mad it was rushed and just was stoked to have it on pc. I remember a petition going around cause everybody wanted it so bad.

It was a culture shock when I realized how well later games played lol

No need to apologize. I have a feeling you'll be paying for your crimes soon enough.

We could be living in utopia, but those damn youths had to go and break stuff

It's like post-marketing. You're already a user/customer, but companies still want to put psychological hooks in you.

Kind of reminds me of steam's insane discounts or epic giving away games. That's more geared toward bringing people in, maybe.

I'd like to believe some instances of this sort of thing can be out of genuine appreciation for supporters, but I might just be naive... It is straight out of the abuser's handbook.
