@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе Meh, okay. I wouldn't mind letting people filter out stuff either, if only because that means I don't have to listen to them being upset they have to see it. What is and isn't objectification is also rather subjective....
@Tinkeringbell Well. since you mentioned it, I would also add that Cyberpunk 2077 is still CD Projekt. The ones that though it was fun to have a "love cards" collection in the Witcher 1. An then, since they "learned it was bad and objectifying females" decided that it would be good to start Witcher 3 with a close up of .... google it. Will just say it was then censored in many countries.
And that is not mentioning that "easter egg" someone found in a locked off house.
Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe is clean and doesn't obje... hold on. It does objectify people, treating them as nothing but cargo produced and consumed by cities. Oops!
Just some people like playing with talking fish, and others with original Miss Lara Croft, and others need something that fits their description of 'well written and competent'.
@JohnDvorak Rollercoaster Tycoon was absolutly horrid too, the way it allowed you to use human visitors merely as objects you needed to collect and/or abuse to reach your goals!
@Spevacus It is! It didn't help that as kids, we only had the English language version so naturally we sucked (we couldn't understand any of the game prompts). As I grew older, I got better at it and at Zoo Tycoon too. Though I also never took the time to actually go past the first five or ten scenario's, as that takes too long :)
I revisited the game around 4 or so years ago. It holds up surprisingly well in comparison to "* - tycoon/simulator" games today, not that I'm overly active in the genre.
RCT Deluxe is also like... 3 bucks on steam, so there's that.
Ohh, we had simcity too! Again, in English so I never really learned how to play it correctly. My buildings weren't really burning though, not that I can remember... just endless struggles with water, electricity, and then people hated the water and power plants...
@Shadow10YearsWizard give them the ZX Spectrum port of Gladiator.... and tell them they get a prize if they beat it. Should keep them busy for a while.
@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе no no, it's not boring because they're good at it, lol. Golden Axe let me help them, so it's playable... but in general when they lose in a PC game, they can become really upset. :/
I really only vote to delete dupes that have either been asked a million times or the comments are a complete trainwreck... What comes to mind, immediately, are the mod-abuse rants and the "why are downvotes mean" q's, and what have you.
In order to respond to threats, device designers must remotely update, which if implemented poorly, can provide another vector for attacks. In this post, dig into specifics related specifically to the over-the-air (OTA) software update framework in an enterprise setting.
@Luuklag nah, maybe very few of the first celebs who did it had such goal in mind, right after the goal "get some more attention and followers", but all the rest? No way they had any real goal behind it apart "let's do this silly thing [name here] just did, no idea why."

Hmm. Aside from potentially mentioning that questions closed as dupes will redirect you to the dupe target if you're not logged in, I'm not sure there's much more that can be mentioned there.
It's possible that it's different because it was closed as a duplicate, and you already get a notification from the auto-comment when someone votes to close as a dupe/flags as a dupe.
The philosophy being, there's no notification needed because your question's already been asked (and possibly answered, when it comes to Meta) before. There is one needed when it comes to any other close reason, because that means there is something significantly wrong with your post; significant enough that deletion is now on the table.
(I also have an application at AWS that hasn't been rejected yet, and apparently was passed on to a hiring manager, so hopefully one of those pans out soon. I'm not happy at my current job)
other than that, I'll probably be fireing off my annual google application
I have the 'option' of converting to a permanant staff here, and while the pay isn't always great, my current contracting firm is pretty good with finding openings.
@Spevacus I thought you reopened it for some reason, rather than none; not sure we're looking at the same thing based on your reply, or was your comment right after mine about something else. There was an over an hour conversation, but as you wish ...
@Spevacus Regardless, isn't what you propose is lacking here; that's not what it's about as evidenced by the bolding in the last sentence. --- We don't reopen when it's closed for the wrong reason, it's a flag instead.
I know why I reopened it, which reason you do not know; so how could that affect your decision.
@Rob It's technically not organically possible for an anonymous user to click on a duplicate question and actually see that question; they'll be automatically redirected to its dupe target, unless there's more than one dupe target or a no-redirect tag is added to the end of the URL... So it's very tangentially related, which is why I'm not keen on really adding it as an answer - it's a bit of a stretch.
Like I said before: I voted to reopen because I felt the answer to that question wasn't fully answered in the dupe target - That's all. The answer to that now-reopened question is acceptable... It's just not a dupe.
I didn't mean to jump to conclusions about what reason you chose to vote to reopen. I apologize for doing so, that wasn't right of me.
@Ollie those are not cross site, just regular spammers with multiple accounts, probably unregistered. For the to be cross site they need a network profile with multiple site profiles
If it's just one profile and they only spam on one site, a mod on that particular site can destroy it. If that user has been confirmed to have spammed across more than one site, that's when a CM destruction is warranted.
@JNat This report is due to hiding (not very well) yolosite in the URL; but I'll leave letting it stay with you.
The 'yolosite spammer' (more than one) bumps their post by re-editing over 2 dozen times to keep it at the top of one tab and to blow some flags away; the domain yolosite is always one of their URLs, often with a lengthy path and different subdomains.
@Luuklag Sorry, I'm pretty sure I've seen that user spamming across other sites under a different account (which has now been JNatted), but yeah, that one appears to have only Electronics...
