Remember when people lost their shit over an Xbox console being all digital distribution and no ability to sell used games like 10 years ago maybe?

Nintendo fans are fucking masochists.

No and they don’t plan to federate it. Not on their roadmap.

Further Matrix is guided by the Matrix Foundation, a non-profit group.

But I mean sure let’s just dump one for-profit app for another as if it won’t follow the same path.

World-leading research is taking place into this field at King’s College London, where scientists have explored lab-grown teeth for more than a decade.

Yep, I first read about this more than a decade ago so that tracks. Probably a decade or three more before it’s really viable as a solution.

Commander Shepard tried for both Liara and Ashley at the same time.

Ms. Huang knows whats up.

Also Starcraft: Ghost

14 isn’t old, it’s not even legal age to buy cigarettes.

I don’t play CounterStrike or Team Fortress 2 because I’m not a god damned masochist.

In the end, I’m technically already boycotting them.

Quite possibly because it shared a lot of DNA with Halo which they don’t own anymore.

You’re right, it’s really hard to fill the shoes of someone who abuses their power and position to try to hook up with women.

Maybe, he is indeed looking hella rough in this photo.

Only semi-related: Why do they always show pictures of Gates when he hasn’t been involved in MS in a long time? Why never Satya Nadella?

EDIT: Also, yes, related to the actual question already living Linux full time and when October rolls around probably gonna back up everything from the Windows side of my dual-boot and wipe the 1TB NVMe Windows is on to use as storage.

Aren’t some WoW private servers free and don’t require you to pay the monthly subscription?

I love it when I’m already technically boycotting because I just hated all that shit to begin with.

The only real loss is Minecraft, which Microsoft has been slowly enshittifying anyway. Java Edition is the redheaded stepchild now.

PlayStation controllers have way better build quality than Xbox controllers. I hope Valve brings back Steam controllers.

Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard haven’t made good games in over a decade.

I never used GamePass because I like actually having ownership over my games and developers being paid properly.

I live Linux full time now because Windows is trash.

Two words: Mario Paint

They hype up all these outfit changes and only give us one shot of our boy Waluigi in his fancy new duds…

The worm one was Noby Noby Boy.

I think it’s interesting to note here that he was the Director of the first two Katamaris, Director/Designer of Noby Noby Boy, but from there on out is just a designer. I think it shows that not only does he want to work with other people but that he doesn’t necessarily want full creative control as much as he values the input from others in creative ideas.

Which also makes it a little frustrating that all the games are still marketed as “From the Creator of Katamari Damacy!” while it seems like he’s just another designer on a team and he’s happy with that. More like the businesses use him as a marketing gimmick, maybe?

The soundtrack alone is still a must-play for me.

This one seems like it’s going to have a similarly great soundtrack.

I want to wad you up into my life

Let’s lump up to make a single star in the sky

I am so hyped for this weird game!

Centering a service animal is dope!

I just want it to still have co-op so I can play with a friend who uses a different skill tree and we can complement our skills.

SS2 is a Remaster not a remake.

For a game from 1999 I think it looks great.

Fuuuuuuck yessssss. I was more of a fan of SS2 than SS personally.

Hoping maybe they still have multiplayer…

Like Musk, Zuckerberg is just trying to create a world where people actually like him.

Also like Musk, he will fail.

Chrono Trigger Is Timeless

I see what you did there.

If space dwarves drinking, burping, and dancing isn’t innovation then who needs innovation?

For Karl!

My god man, can you just fuck off already?

And even with alternatives, corporations own all the infrastructure. There is no publicly owned and operated infrastructure anymore.

My data still has to pass through their pipes, and if at some point they decide they don’t like my data, they can just block it from going through their pipes entirely. Coupled with deep consolidation of ISPs, it means effectively being blocked from communications on the internet.

1996 telecommunications act in the US for one.

Because we dropped community communications in favor of corporate communications for two.

Bring back barb wire phone networks.

You think Discord is bad and enshittified now? Just fucking wait.

People need to get on Matrix or XMPP like fucking yesterday.

Not too put too fine a point on it, but the majority of Ed Zitron’s articles are deeply researched and very interesting.

They ought to be doing it with Dreamcasts since pirating games for DC was way easier.

That’s right, it’s Jimbo’s world now… and Jimbo will fucking cut you like a deck of cards.

Hugh Mungus the Homunculus.

This actually has Cherry 2000 vibes.

Near the end of this campy fucking flick, they are looking for another Cherry 2000 model, and theyre opening a bunch of bags hung from hooks like this, finding various sexbots until they finally find Cherry.

Cherry 2000 is one of those flicks with a good idea but terrible execution.

It’s not even a weird twist it’s just people who understand how capitalism actually functions and realize that investing in their workers means their workers have more disposable time and income to spend buying shit at Costco.

It’s wild to me that we’ve had to go from advocating for leftism/unions to “if we are gonna do capitalism shouldn’t we at least do it in a way that won’t break literally everything?”

Costco is simply a traditional capitalist business that doesn’t want to see the economy completely implode for everyone but the rich. They are simply promoting capitalist economic fundamentals that made the US an economic powerhouse in the world and built a wealthy “middle class.”

Treating your workers well is also an attempt to prevent unionization. Only about 8% of Costco employees are represented by a union.

Ethan Evans desperately trying to keep his job as VP of Prime Gaming:

Anyone who didn’t sell after the idiocy of the NFT market is a fuckin bagholder through and through.

An NFT market was stupid to begin with, because it’s trying to use endless amounts of CPU cycles to enforce an “ownership” system that is genuinely unneeded and only serves to benefit Capital and Capitalists.

Hell yeah let’s burn down the planet for fuckin skins in video games! /s

Later, they would shut down the same market, after barely over a year and a half.

This was and is a company with no concrete plans for the future that was spinning its wheels since its core business was failing and continues to fail.

Diamond hands? More like Sunk Cost Hands.

Thats not arrogant. I just didn’t scroll down. Thanks!

I stupidly assumed the controls would pop up in game. I appreciate you being polite about it.

It would super help if there was any direction on what keys do what. I never figured out the second thing youre supposed to drop.
