I think the funniest shit is how Sony never tries to reassure people on what they buy. Literally never. They just argue "people know they don't own digital games" and literally never does any actual promises about them
PlayStation founder Ken Kutaragi says discs became "metaphor for 'owning' games", and that upset at their discontinuation is a "mentality issue" www.eurogamer.net/ken-kutaragi...
I'm following up on this incredibly late but man I'm so glad that Cookie got freed this year
It pisses me off how the copyright troll's all but won the Cookie's Bustle situation. The game's fallen into obscurity again, yet it feels like they've only ramped up the takedawns. "Brandon White" makes Tim Langdell look like a saint in comparison. God, I hope this situation gets settled.

If programming isn't art, then explain this series
honestly re: reverse engineering it just kinda blows to see your fun hobby get completely blown up by AI shit and people who love the slop machine because it's faster. AI art and shit at least *most* people correctly loathe + shun it, but too many people think that code isn't similarly creative.

Hey @bsky.app @support.bsky.team, can you explain this? Cause the fact that you first posted this on Twitter and not here is VERY telling

Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it. Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything Do not install them
If you still have the Epic Games Launcher on your system, don't update it and get it the fuck off of your computer. There's no telling what damage it can do or what vibecoded landmines are waiting in it.

I'm a bit sad that a lot of people are following VGE on BSKY, a man who gives negative shits about artists and devs.
Apparently VGE hid the comment I left under his video. Here it is for anyone who wants to see it, as it seems to clearly bother him that someone wants to hold him even slightly responsible for the major damage he's been doing and continues to do this scene.
