Not a sentient pile of alley cats in a trench coat. You ask a lotta questions.

You can probably buy it from a key reseller. That’s what I did when I wanted to replay Prey 2006, it was like $3 iirc. Really, though, if you can’t buy it from the rights holders just pirate it.
Edit: Actually I’ll go as far as saying if the actual creators of the game won’t make any money from your purchase, just some company that bought the rights, pirate it then too, fuck em
IMO there are just two questions to ask. Is she in pain? Is she ever going to get better? If the answer to the first is yes, and the second is no, then it’s time.
It is sort-of in the next update. Users can “block” instances, what this means IIRC is that they will not see posts or communities from the blocked instance, however they will still see the blocked instances users posts on communities on other instances, as well as their comments on posts on other instances. This feature should work to block the spam you’re talking about. We haven’t upgraded to that new version on sh.itjust.works yet because it introduced a bug in the federation system that hasn’t been fixed yet.
See the posts column in this screenshot for context:
That testimonial community at the top is the only spamming one as far as I can immediately tell. Every user is able to easily block that community with two clicks. I’m personally not inclined to defederate from an instance without multiple communities/whole instances dedicated to spamming, tons of bots, rampant and/or admin-sanctioned bigotry, rampant trolling, illegal content (that the admins already defederate automatically on their own), or something causing an existential crisis within lemmy (like threads). I don’t think lemmy.staphup.nl qualifies on spamming. If I were admin of that instance, I’d definitely ban the testimonial community though.

It’s the voting community of this instance. Users (or admins) post discussions on rule/policy changes like your post here, they’re discussed for a while, then an admin posts a vote thread for sh.itjust.works users to vote whether we should accept the change. Your post should go there.
I intended that to be T and under games with premeditated murder by the player in them, but I realize looking back that I didn’t say that so you are correct. They are, however, both M rated. Although, Oblivion was famously T rated before being rerated to M because of some PC mods with nudity in them. Even the console version was changed to M, which I remember thinking at the time was BS. So I’m going to call that a T rated game with murder in it.
FF is typically self defense and/or war, but there are probably some murders in there somewhere I guess
Can you give an example of another game with unambiguous premeditated murder on the part of the main character, that isn’t either in self-defense or as part of a war? I’m trying to think of any but I’m coming up short.
What I meant was presumably it has murder and blood sacrifice, it would be a pretty poor cult game without those. And if that’s true, that sounds like an M rating to me.
I’m an atheist, I don’t have a dog in the “Satan v. God of Abraham” fight.
I can see both sides of this. On the one hand, it’s a T rated game. It would be weird for a T rated game to have a big focus on sex.
On the other hand, the update is called Sins of the Flesh and the art for it depicts the characters dancing naked around a fire, with leaves covering their genitals.
On my mutant third hand, it’s weird for a satanic-adjacent cult game to be rated T in the first place. I guess they’re really coasting on their cute aesthetic? I haven’t played this game.
