There isn’t a meaningful difference; gachas are just a subset of lootboxes, and anybody claiming otherwise is a player lying to themselves or is a game publisher defending themselves from these predatory practices.

I wish they would put the official app on F-Droid. I use PixelDroid, but it’d still be nice to try.

before I ever install their unnecessary and untrustworthy data-miner

You’re about [current year minus year you installed Win10] years too late for that. That said, if you intend to come over to Linux, it’s probably best to set time-bounded goals for yourself instead of vaguely putting it off until MS does something that crosses some poorly defined line, else you risk having to chaotically abandon ship at the last minute and making the transition much harder.

And yet Amaze on F-Droid is probably a better product.

And more expensive while you’re at it, thanks.

Luigi did the unambiguously correct thing.

Fandom is gross anyway. Contributing to independent wikis is a much better use of your time. https://getindie.wiki/

“Confound your lousy toll, troll! hisssss”

I’m not sure what LGBTQ Nation is on about separating 10 people from 50, but the SCMP is pretty clear that dozens were arrested for publishing danmei. They do also mention that publishing erotic materials in general is prohibited, though.

I’ve been using Amaze for quite a long time and found it works well.

Who in their right mind would use this bootleg piece of shit when uBO exists?

Nope, there’s nothing deeper there; just radial blur = funny. The best explanation I can give is that a radial blur is evocative of a feeling of intense emotional distress, so it’s like whatever you’re looking at is having a panic attack.

But the standard unit of measurement is /r/buttsharpies.

How many Sharpies we talking here?

I’m so sorry for your loss. Restraining orders in this country are a joke.

For context, in 2023, the US had 19,252 cases of murder or voluntary manslaughter. The US is projected to have a 16% nationwide drop in homicides in 2024 (“homicide” includes involuntary manslaughter, so it’s not technically one-to-one).

We’ll be really generous to murder and voluntary manslaughter and assume that those actually dropped by what would be a substantial 20% (even though it could be lower than 16% too). Then we have about 15,400 of these cases. Under that assumption (which I think is pretty reasonable as most likely a very conservative undercount), this represents about 4.5% of intentional killings in the US. To my understanding, the overwhelming majority is male-on-male. After that, I have no clue where female-on-female and female-on-male land.

(EDIT: That being said, it’s entirely possible and likely that this linked database is an undercount. Although overall, it seems pretty scrupulous; I doubt the size would increase by more than maybe 10% if it were to be complete.)

… Oh, crud.

So what I’m hearing here is that Cybertrucks should be vandalized indiscriminately en masse across the country as a form of protest.
