Remember folks, if buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft.

At this point you've got to assume that it's a smarter move not to sell your game dev studio to a failing money hungry monolith

Microsoft reportedly negotiating closures of multiple Xbox studios, including Psychonauts' Double Fine, South of Midnight's Compulsion and Hellblade's Ninja Theory www.eurogamer.net/compulsion-d...

Here's my theory. Big studios like Xbox now are openly saying it's too expensive to make games, there is no money in them. Everyone and their mother is suing Valve to take a piece under the guise of "monopoly". This is bullshit, they just just provide a better service. These AAA (lol) studios (1/?)

... want to raise the prices by a lot, monetise them to fuck and make a killing. That can't happen while Valve offers a good service to people. By having every Tom, DICK, and Harry sue for pennies then Valve is legally tied up. They spend a huge portion on legal fees to defend... (2/3)

... baseless accusations and if they lose even one case, it could escalate further as precedence. Losing any would be bad for Valve, they will survive but it will hurt and the AAA get a dagger into the pie they don't deserve. The goal is to price gamers out of both hardware and software forever. 3/3

Racists attempting to murder non-white citizens. Alt-right propaganda is the biggest danger to the world.

Driven by Musk, fuelled by Restore Leader Rupert Lowe and whipped up by the fear mongering rhetoric of Reform and their media outlets. This is what happens when you stir hatred against migrants. It end with burning homes and cars and children fleeing for their lives

I tend to block a lot of AI shit. I noticed recently that the count wasn't going down as fast so I started paying attention to people who were constantly reposting AI slop. Turns out out by blocking the main AI sloppers, my feed is almost completely clean. Also blocked the reposters, fuck them too.

I'm a GW1 beta player and I'll admit, I have not yet played the latest GW2 expansion. I'm burned out. Even the news of GW3 has not got me excited because I know it will be a whiiiile. Plus they will likely need to adjust the game after launch. I hope I get more excited closer to release.

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Ran through protesters to kidnap a medic. ICE wants to make sure people get hurt and have no help. Take note, take note.

🚨"THEY TOOK ADAM!"🚨 ICE agents can be seen using brute force and tasers to arrest a reported medic and veteran who was positioned across the street and away from the protest crowd outside Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ. Stay tuned while we investigate. WATCH LIVE 📷

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

Looking to hire a tradesman for a job and google is just filled with "sponsored" pages, we called them ads back in the day. Lots of dodgy looking facebook pages with no work related pics, defunct websites or clearly written by AI. I hate this current information age & remember how good it used to be

I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

It’s important to remember that the goal of lawsuits like the one brought by Kash Patel against the Atlantic isn’t to win, it’s to cost the Atlantic as much money as possible only to drop the suit before discovery, and as red meat for the MAGA base by simply filing it.
