especially if the entire pitch is critiquing how GREEDY BIG DATA IS PROFITING FROM YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, but they're different because uh... totes trust 'em you guise

"how do you keep the lights on then if you don't do that?" remaining steadfastly It's A Secret :) in contrast is just uh.... well, scummy-sounding

like are these "we don't sell your data!" promises just elaborate honeypots or what lmfao. at least with google i get to be one drop in a deluge, so no thanks

i may just be getting cynical, but why does it seem like the vast majority of these "new ethical internet services that respect your privacy" are just

"we don't make money from ads or your data like those other chumps! we're also freeeeee!"

me: ok cool, so how do you financially keep afloat?

"we don't sell ads or data :) we respect you :) but free!"

me: okay... but how y'all gettin' paid? how is this service offered for free?

"we respect you! :) free!"

me: ....k

@Tutanota given that your entire business model is built on trust - trusting the company to not snoop, to not sell info, to really encrypt as much as promised - this coyness is not really serving y'all. if you want to actually succeed, tell us why your company is different, not just "we're different! trust us!" and no elaboration.

unless you're hella into self-sabotage i guess. in which case, there's probably easier ways to get that kink itch scratched, lol.

@Tutanota oh boy i can't wait to pay for microtransactions to access my email

idk y'all, if you ain't forthcoming about actually reconciling your business model with the business model that you are heavily critiquing and lambasting as corrupt and inherently exploitative, well... boy, that sounds shady as fuck.

right now it just comes off as "tired of being exploited by big companies?! well here, we do things differently - you get exploited by a SMALL company instead! HOORAY!"

wow the pride dlc for splatoon looks great! https://www.usatoday.com/videos/travel/2019/06/04/rare-rainbow-octopus-caught-camera-phillippines/1341892001/

@Tutanota hmmm

>We protect your emails from everyone - even from us! Forever free.

"free is not free! except for our free. you can trust us. pinky swear."

y'all know how strongly this smells of bullshit, right?

like, this is totally the sort of game i used to play with my toys. you build a town, you have them go on adventures, stuff like that.

i adore how it looks! i think it's pitch-perfect. it looks gorgeous and i think there's been some very canny design going on here. all the simplifications and translations of those simplifications-borne-from-necessity whisper "this is a fun toy, come play with us".

i love it!!!!!! i want the toyset of all this LOL

i actually adore how this game looks. i think that there's actually been some very canny art direction, mirroring the art direction of link's awakening. i know some people will complain about things looking too smooth and too plastic, but with that plus the shiny hair... i think it's actually perfect. it looks like a little doll, with hair like a barbie, and this is a little tableau with it.

i love it! it's a perfect toybox aesthetic!

witcher 3 on switch is exciting!!! maybe now i will actually play it instead of just... having it in my gog library lmfao

botw sequel is unexpected but also quite exciting!!!!

i didn't expect sword/shield to be multiplayer-ish like that but it looks delightful. the details from the treehouse all make sense and are exciting! but it's totally my shit regardless lmao

all in all - i'm happily content with this! nintendo definitely won e3 for me lol.

i didn't get the thing i was hoping for, but i know that it's a long shot. i actually expect splatoon 3 to be announced after the final splatfest when peak hipe is ripe for harvest. fingers crossed they're not going to go with "one splatoon game per console, wait until there's Switch Deluxe".

animal crossing being delayed makes me a little pouty but it looks like some neat stuff, crafting seems like a good fit for it, so i'm happy with waiting!

oh my god who at nintendo has the goo kink. fess up. fess up now.

so y'all think that auron has a jury-rigged jock-strap type garment so that when he's doin' the sex with his entire two hands engaged, he still has one testicle safely tucked away off to one side all nice and snug to mirror how he usually hides one arm, or nah

aaaaaaa i actually got into the local fb group for lolita fashion!!!!! it turns out it was just facebook eating messages i'm so fucking relieved

not that i've done any wrong over there, just that i know an ex-hs friend who likes to talk mad shit and has no problem constructing elaborate lies was also active in said community some years ago (though idk how active), and i was starting to get Slightly Paranoid (tm)

"WE DIDN'T GET TO THE SPANDEX PART OF HISTORY" aka devolver is best part of e3 yet again

@lynnesbian and thus with viera, ffxiv is confirmed for superior mmorpg over eso once more

@grainloom wh... wait that doesn't seem right

the first one is .6 but 1/2 is .5

i'm going to say typo maybe? hopefully? either that or if it's not a typo or copying notes error, someone's worse than math than i am, and that's some powerful bad at math
