Yeah, Take-Two clearly hates their player base. You’re supposed to give them money, and nothing else.

This would mean those movies came out before I was 5, which feels wrong.

I can’t seem to find the source of it anymore, either. I think it’s a bit hard to look up without exact names because it’s actually a few different events that make up one story.

Basically, as I remember, Volition’s parent company sold Volition to that shitty company known for buying companies with falling sales and dissolving them, and the rights to Saints Row went with them, but the parent company kept rights to Red Faction, making it impossible for Ultor to really be included in SR after 3. IIRC, Red Faction ended up being owned by the shitty company later on, but at that point it didn’t really matter anymore. I can’t actually remember if GooH included any actual mentions of Ultor with the reintroduction of Vogel.

It’s been a few years, I could have gotten details wrong.

I always felt 4 was just too cartoony to last. I enjoyed the super powers, but it did way too much damage to the series’ world (literally and figuratively) and left very little room to realistically expand. I get that they lost what they were planning with the whole Ultor thing when the rights split happens, but the path they took feels, and I didn’t intend the pun when I first wrote this, pretty scorched earth.

More like “the concrete sizzles as the milk eats through it.”

I mean, it had said something about pasteurization heat just before that, but I don’t think that’s right.

Don’t get philosophical on me.

I don’t think the liquid would survive at temperatures capable of melting concrete.

I had DeepSeek R1 tell me that milk could melt concrete.

Started playing this. Made me remember that I didn’t like Unleashed… Amazing nonetheless.

Got on here like “Whaddya mean announced, that’s been out for… Oh, shit, that’s a Steam url.”

Good to know, but honestly, it’s gonna be so long before I can actually think about getting this that it probably won’t apply anymore. I’ve got all of $37 and some Discover Rewards points right now.

Looks cool. Wishlisted, maybe I’ll be able to grab it eventually.

Say it with me now: “Fuck Google”

Gotta be real, WeMod looks sus af.

I mean, I dug around the one-page site looking for a price for a while, read every line on there, looking for the price I could tell it has, only to find nothing, so I searched it. $7.99 a month, totally hidden. Not looking good.

I have the opportunity to repurchase a game I am literally holding right now but can’t play? Hooray.

Yeah but he has ties to a known pedophile, and even had art by said pedo on the wall in the background of some videos, so there’s that.

Except for when they’re extremely bad at doing this and use it as a weapon, such as what they did with TF2C.

Which is the outcome Valve wanted, more or less. Of course getting the whole thing thrown out would’ve been preferable for them, but they trashed their arbitration clause specifically so this could go class action, thereby saving them a fuckload of money.

I mean, they have Source 2, but to call it a rival before it’s even made it to third-party developers (Facepunch is effectively second party) is a bit of a stretch.

Galaxy definitely sucks, but to say it’s worse than EGS seems pretty far out there. EGS has been caught snooping around files and taking system logs without notice on top of just being overly resource intensive, totally bare bones and easily broken.

Everybody talks about “why not Mastodon” in the comments of these. I thought about that for a long while back when I used Mastodon, and I have an answer: discoverability. ActivityPub does not make things easy to find, which makes a Twitter-like service even more like screaming into the void. It effectively becomes “bring your own audience,” and tends to only amplify the voices that are already the loudest, though as a consequence of the backend, rather than a malicious choice like Twitter.

The Steam Community is a cesspool, and a good part of that is owed to the lack of any centralized moderation. Game communities are moderated by publishers, developers, or their chosen volunteers or employees. If a game is forgotten, its community becomes totally unmoderated, and there’s nothing like Reddit’s auto-bans to prune these abandoned communities.

Also… pretty sure they just let community moderators do anything they want as long as it’s not outright illegal.

Okay. Firefox Focus is a totally different thing.

I’m on mobile, Firefox Focus. It has a basic adblocker, but doesn’t do anything about shitty design.

Oh my God fuck this site. Ya get to the bottom of the article and a pop-up appears and when you close the damn pop-up you’re automatically taken back to the top of the article WHY

The headline is slimy

Are you referring to the use of the word “killshot”? Otherwise, the headline says exactly the same thing.

Its offline installers ‘cannot be taken away from you’

No implication of outright ownership, just that they can’t take away the offline installers. I mean, I guess it doesn’t outright say “that you’ve already downloaded,” but given the length, I’d say that’s a passable omission.

I would personally recommend not purchasing it. Not saying don’t play it, but there’s no one who will profit from it who should.

Okay, I have no idea what the hell is going on here. I don’t follow this stuff, and last I heard, Sam Altman was the good guy who was kicked out of OpenAI because he was focused on ethics while they were focused on profit.
