It’s also the camera and lighting. Someone remanded MW2 in Unreal Engine and while it looked better it somehow had a Fortnite feel to it.


The Palestinian soccer federation has consistently asked FIFA for more than a decade to take action against the Israeli soccer body for incorporating teams from West Bank settlements in its leagues. The Palestinians have also recently accused the Israel Football Association of what it said was complicity in violations of international law by the Israeli government, discrimination against Arab players. The request to FIFA’s congress in May also cited “international law violations” in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas conflict and directed the soccer body to its statutory commitments on human rights and against discrimination. The PFA has said dozens of Palestinian players have been killed in the war, football infrastructure has been destroyed, its leagues suspended and its national team required to play World Cup qualifiers abroad. Israel has also been playing international fixtures abroad. FIFA delayed making a decision in May until after a legal review scheduled for July, then pushed back the issue two more times until the meeting Thursday.

Self-styled free speech warrior Elon Musk’s X (Twitter) banned me after I published a copy of the Donald Trump campaign’s JD Vance research dossier. X says that I’ve been suspended for “violating our rules against posting private information,” citing a tweet linking to my story about the JD Vance dossier. First, I never published any private information on X. I linked to an article I wrote here, linking to a document of controversial provenance, one that I didn’t want to alter for that very reason. On the one hand, this is a very funny end to my Twitter journey. On the other hand, I no longer have access to the primary channel by which I disseminate primarily news (and shitposts of course) to the general public. This chilling effect on speech is exactly why we published the Vance Dossier in its entirety. **Not a single media organization was willing to publish a document that would have been a no-brainer during or prior to the heyday of Edward Snowden’s disclosures. That illustrates the dramatic shift in attitudes about what the news media thinks the public should know**, and the role the mainstream plays in steadily ceding that territory to the national security threat machine. Media’s job, I believe, is to push back against these various forms of censorship. I’ll keep doing that here on this newsletter, where you can find me going forward. If you agree with what I laid out, I hope you’ll subscribe.

Looking at GTA6 I wonder if a normal PS5 can even run the game at the resolution from the trailer


This GPU bump is pretty big it’s almost a PS6. Keeping the old Zen2 CPU is disappointing though.


Firefox cause the search bar is on the bottom


The Israeli occupation army deliberately destroyed a football stadium in the city of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank during the ongoing military offensive in the city and its refugee camp which started last Wednesday. The Palestinian Football Association published a video clip showing shocking scenes of the extensive damage to the stadium including its grounds and stands. With the entire area turned into rubble by the Israeli occupation’s bulldozers. [Video](https://files.catbox.moe/1pf374.mp4)

Runescape almost als expensive as WoW was 20 year ago


The Palestinian request was submitted in May. FIFA promised an expedited process and a special meeting of the executive committee in July. When the scheduled date arrived, FIFA postponed the decision by a month. The new delay means the request won't be considered before the committee's next meeting, for which a specific date has not yet been set. The Palestinian Football Association alleges that the Israeli government is violating international law. It also says that there is discrimination against Arab players and against soccer clubs in the West Bank. It also says that Israel has destroyed several soccer facilities, killed at least 92 players and forced its national team to host World Cup qualifiers in other countries.

I am glad Ubisoft took a dump on these people for subsidizing their trash business practices. Maybe they will finally learn.



Just turn on the censorship intervention feature

They hire 1/10th of Valves developer count and spend the entire budget on marketing.

It appears to work really well seeing how people keep buying Ubitrash and EA games no matter how bad the previous one was.


Edward Kang, 20, flew from Newark, New Jersey, to Jacksonville, Florida, to confront someone he had an online dispute with, Nassau County, New Jersey, Sheriff Bill Leeper said. Court records show he was charged Monday with second-degree attempted murder and attempted burglary. A preliminary investigation indicates Kang knew the victim only online, having met him playing a fantasy video game called ArcheAge. According to the game's website, it is shutting down its North America and European servers this week because of a declining number of users. The victim, who was not publicly identified, told authorities he took a break from playing video games when he saw Kang standing with a hammer above his head in a “strike position.” His stepfather woke up to the sounds of screams for help and found his stepson on the ground struggling with Kang above him, authorities said.

You are correct. I confused the berserker class with the berserker.


Which abilities did you like? I found some nice but many were a bit overpowered. But maybe that’s because I selected Brick Salvadore in Borderlands2. The dual wield button practically destroyed everything. They also had so much power that the unique guns (which was the original selling point for Borderlands) felt less impactful.


I don’t understand why everyone likes 2 so much. Borderlands 1 had the real dystopian Mad Max vibes. And there was Claptrap for some comic relief.

Borderlands 2 started making a comical relief character out of everything. Bandits were clowns. All the bosses were clowns. All major NPC’s were clowns… The entire “dystopia” went out of the window and Borderlands 2 turned Mad Max into a slapstick comedy.

Just the intros of the two games show the massive difference. There is no “survive the wasteland” anymore.

ARM has been in consumer systems since Android.

We also have proof that ARM sucks for gaming and has many compatibility issues running X86 programs.

Is ARM more mature than RISCV? Yes definitely. But just like RISCV ARM is also not a replacement for X86. Especially when running games or professional proprietary garbage software X86 is still the way to go.


RISCV is also viable to create hardware and software to do what people need.

The software just doesn’t exist yet.


It proves Apple is viable for consumers not ARM.

The Windows and Linux drivers for arm are severely lacking compared to MacOS Rosetta.

ARM is further in the development stage than RISC5 but both aren’t near X86 for desktop compatibility yet.



Great catch. The buttons at the bottom are the exact same. Looks like a clone.

Maybe they only took the exterior like MSI did with their Claw OEMing the ASUS Ally.


VC money dried up. Time to fire everyone.







Great insights from Paul. Not only did he speak out against the Genocide at much cost to his personal life, but he is now actively using his knowledge to show the culprits of this Genocide.

Why is Meta doing this? Why is Meta so happy to share metadata about group membership with Israel – a run-around the idea of a “private” social network – and to be complicit in the genocide?

Let’s look at their leadership, in particular the three most senior leaders who have close ties to Israel.

Their Chief Information Security Officer, Guy Rosen, is their most senior policy decision maker. He is Israeli, lives in Tel Aviv, and was in the Israeli military in Unit 8200. Unit 8200 is the Israeli NSA and is the department that built and runs Lavender. Insiders tell me that Rosen is the person most associated with the anti-“anti-zionism” policies, and is also responsible for the suppression of Palestinian content.

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta founder and CEO has also been a significant supporter of Israel’s propaganda. Zuckerberg gave $125k to Zaka, one of the groups that created and continues to spread much of the original Oct 7 false atrocity propaganda, including the discredited “Oct 7 mass rape” hoax.




Most people seem to “never have found out about politics” yet seeing how they consume all newspaper content without critical thinking.

The guy already stopped by himself and they decided to smash him into the trophy

Counter-Strike skin betting platform CSGOEmpire has claimed responsibility for the stunt. “Some of our men are on the ground in handcuffs,” wrote CSGOEmpire founder Monarch on X after the incident. “But we fucking did it, boys.”

Why do skin betting sites claim responsibility for stupid stunts as if they’re doing terrorist attacks



RiscV has been used for small specific tasks but running a whole OS on it still seems far fetched with so many libraries being unsupported. (yes it exists already but that is also very limited in functionality)





People can choose to not donate to him. Also he does plenty of fundraisers.

Grifting is a strong word for someone that is very well educated and doesn’t just pick the mainstream position in every subject because it’s easy.

The man does good work let him earn some money from it.


Gaming companies are coordinating with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to root out so-called domestic violent extremist content, according to a new government report. Noting that mechanisms have been established with social media companies to police extremism, the report recommends that the national security agencies establish new and similar processes with the vast gaming industry. The exact nature of the cooperation between federal agencies and video game companies, which has not been previously reported, is detailed in a new Government Accountability Office report. The report draws on interviews conducted with five gaming and social media companies including Roblox, an online gaming platform; Discord, a social media app commonly used by gamers; Reddit; as well as a game publisher and social media company that asked the GAO to remain anonymous. The Anti-Defamation League has testified to Congress multiple times about extremists’ use of gaming platforms. In 2019, ADL’s then-senior vice president of international affairs, Sharon Nazarian, was asked by Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., if gaming platforms “are monitored” and if there’s “a way AI can be employed to identify those sorts of conversations.”
