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.



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).



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.



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.



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.


If he meant the anti-woke brainrot, then yes, but that itself is just shielding corporations from actual critiques. There’s a very racist and transphobic caricature that even tries to make fun of people that doesn’t blame woke creators, but monetization practices.



Now I need two things:

  1. Wait until it becomes available.
  2. Get my Zenit Helios lens cleaned in the inside and reassembly it correectly from my attempt at trying to get into it to clean it myself.

From what I’ve heard, manufacturers are afraid getting sued for dumb users breaking HDMI plugs into DP sockets and vice versa.


You forgot:

  • retroactively patenting game mechanics and suing companies for them

I’m quite sad that most games for smartphones are either gatcha-hell, or add-ridden messes.

What good options are there? I tried OpenTTD for Android, but the UI is really not optimized for such a small screen.


I actually got into a fight over suggesting someone to use stock photos instead of grungy-smeary AI generated images for their (sh)articles, so at least I won’t believe it was too AI generated. Then they insisted on it being their own creation, and how they became an artist through words.





All while anti-woke grifters be like “It must be because there’s WOMZ in it!”.


A big letdown for me is, except with some rare cases, those extra AI features useless outside of AI. Some NPUs are straight out DSPs, they could easily run OpenCL code, others are either designed to not be able to handle any normal floating point numbers but only ones designed for machine learning, or CPU extensions that are just even bigger vector multipliers for select datatypes (AMX).


I get that, but a lot of times, people’s main (and seemingly only problem) is that they can’t (instantly) soyface over what they imagine “games as art” will be.


The “worse graphics” stands for less photorealism. I could tell you about the times when someone wasn’t pushing graphical limits, it was ditched by games journalists for postponing the time when they can finally put on a VR headset to relive the battle of Normandy in first person.



The virgin fascism satire as villain protagonists vs. the Chad over-the-top evil fascist antagonists.


Samsung now has an Apple Maps moment
While Google Translate has its obvious privacy-related issues, it's at least a very mature system. The same cannot be said about Samsung's translator, especially in its current form, yet they're trying to roll it out ASAP and to as many people as possible. So far, I've found it impossible to turn Google translate back on for quick access translations, instead I need to first copy the text, switch to the translator, then insert the text into the input field. This is more tedious than the previous method.
