Congratulations gatekeepers, you can get your niche back! Hope it’ll worth the cost for you!

EndeavourOS, CachyOS, and Bazzite are back-up options in case I need to distro hop.

I’m thinking about going dual boot mode soon, as Manjaro is a godsend so far on my ThinkPad.

Normalize people taking the L for their bad takes!

In a just world, OpenAI would be investigated for market denial…

We need to somehow accelerate the burst…

Otherwise there’s a good chance they became so savvy with bubble bursts, that they have a good plan on how to avoid it…

GTA2 was good, it’s just games journalists obsessed with a “3D full immersion VR future”, that they felt threatened by every 2D games made once the first Voodoo cards left the factories. The reviews were not about the games, but endless whining about they losing their “fully realistic games” (past Medal of Honor, they usually envisioned a perfect recreation of Battle of Normandy) because a man made a theme park game with accurate roller coaster physics in assembly.

The 3D push was quite similar to the current AI push, but more successful. Imagine if Microsoft blocked games being released onto XBox if they don’t have a certain amount of AI generated assets and/or “live generated content”.

It will begin with 50x50 pixel icons for “worthless junk”. It will end with big corporations automating everything, including the initial prompts.

Issue with non-obvious placeholder art is that it’ll easily fall through the cracks.

How many dangerous criminals these backdoors helped to take down?

They made TF2 good? I might reinstall it on my PC.

I guess then MS doesn’t have an OS monopoly, because you can not only buy an Apple computer, but also install Linux.

Hello AI!

Indies deserve your money much more, and less likely for that money to go to some exec’s premiums.

Seeing Jared Kushner’s involvement, I fear that will just end with bailouts on the regular.

You don’t understand “gatekeepers”, who want to “go back to the good old days when games were a niche, made for gamers, and no corporate bullshit” (translation: “I want to turn gaming spaces a frat club for my kind”).

Get ready for “anti-woke” Nintendo games!

Code signing is expensive, and will force out some smaller devs from the market, and is the main scare tactic Microsoft is using on Windows.

Gamergate was always a right-wing radicalization tool, and those who did not dismiss the chatlogs of /pol/ users collected by Zoey Quinn as fakes, knew it since day one (I wonder if “Sarah K.” might be one of those VTubers beloved by the far-right), and Steve Bannon wasn’t the first one to realize potential in radicalizing gamers, but a crappy Hungarian gamedev later turned into blogger Tamás “Tomcat” Polgár.

“But they told me the bible was only about love thy neighbor and forgiving the sinners!”

That’s why they’re first going after such cases. In Hungary we named this tactic the “goose liver method”. Goose liver is often created by overfeeding geese, which is abuse. A lot of smaller political party, instead of regulating farming, decided to campaign on banning goose liver entirely, while bashing the food item as a “luxury only the rich can afford”.

Yeah, and we all know that women actually don’t like sex, they only want romance and children. They’re all almost asexual beings unless becoming porn and sex addicts. Meanwhile all men are sex-thirsty animals, that only pretend to be in love, so they can get to the fun part. /s

These “feminists” have connections to TERFs, anti-LGBTQ+ groups, and the same NCOSE, that when it was called Morality in Media, labeled non-sexual representation of interracial couples as “pornography”.

If we’re at right-wing appropriation of leftist talking points, then you can also let chuds to call black protagonists in video-games the hard-R N-word, and let them harass indie video game devs until they remove said characters, all in the name or “being anti-corporate”. Maybe even let big AI corporations to scrape intellectual property and then profit off from it, displacing millions of workers (hopefully only until the hype lasts), because “patent trolls” and “Disney has enough copyrighted material to create their own model” (that argument relies on speculation, that a future model can work off of less data, but still creating good results).

Only a Sith deals with absolutes!

I hope too, but likely will be shut down by the US, for “unfair state meddling with the free market”.

Not originally, but they became the very evil they sought to fight against. Some are still holding onto the good fight, most just see it as a virtual online casino.

I’m already looking into organizing a secularist group, both lobbying in the style of SKG, both uncovering pseudo-secular organizations rebranding christian moralism as “common sense”.

I doubt payment processors are creating these rules because they’re afraid of Jesus

For starters, the biggest owners of both Visa and Mastercard are Mormons, so…

Chuds blaming its “failure” on “transing a femboy” in 3…

Predictions: It will be the biggest failure of the franchise, just before a big game industry crash, and will be remembered as “the E.T. of the mid-2020’s”. Elon Musk and some other MAGA oligarchs will do their best to consolidate whatever remains of the industry into a few and far-right hands.

For the thousandth time: Translation is not a 1:1 formula, that can be easily automated by a machine.

Racists soon trying to fit the N-word into Nintendo in 3…

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer specialized engines over the current trend of engines being made to do almost anything out of the box.

Also D is not like Brainfuck, but C if it was designed well (and had optional memory safety).

Game engine optimized for retro pixelart aesthetics written in D go BRRR

Contact me in private if you need a programmer. I have my own game engine, but I’m willing to work with other engines.

There likely willl be a few “stick it to the liberals” types that buy up keys en masse then dump them on key reselling sites.

The enshittification of Discord will soon accelerate!

And at that moment, I cancel my subscription and instead give that money for some Matrix instance.

No because of the oil industry.

Mostly yes, especially if you’re a big AAA publisher, so your game won’t get buried under cheap shovelware and the latest AAA slop. Also don’t forget that Steam barely does any moderation, especially once you become a power user, so hate groups will buy your game, leave a negative review, then refund it, because a YouTuber named Prof. Chud called it anti-white and anti-male…

Let me guess, Windows also not a monopoly, because Linux exist, and it’s just a loud minority that doesn’t like their data monitored by third parties for “ad” purposes.
