Orcocracy [comrade/them]

Also the Washington Post actually pays its writers.

Considering YouTube live streams about games are usually filled with incels complaining about woke, I hope video game studios have a standard policy of ignoring them.

It’s the Steam fans I worry about. Sometimes they act like Steam is some sort of utopian open source project when it’s just another corporate platform that wants to lock them in.

Those big multibillion-dollar centralised data centres aren’t as reliable as a little shiny disc

Yeah if you’re really hardcore you use a trackball in one hand and a Wacom pen & tablet in the other, none of that fake controller or mouse and keyboard shit for casuals

That reads like AI slop

Astrobot!

The perfectly alienated and isolated liberal approach that changes nothing. Festooning a suburban house with solar panels is like washing your oversized pickup truck with those unbleached brown recycled paper towels.

However, advocating for vasectomies and such gestures towards eugenics and eco-fascism.

You’re right, the Steamdeck can’t even run Fortnite! The Nintendo Switch is a much more capable gaming tablet than the Steamdeck is, and it has a better game library.

Yeah the Steamdeck is a pretty ok gaming tablet

For that kind of money you could just get a Playstation

If you borrow a DVD from the library for free you don’t need to pay for whatever streaming service is holding that particular film hostage, if it’s even available at all. And if it’s a Blu-ray Disc it will have better picture quality than a compressed stream. Making copies is also very easy if you have a computer with a drive, and doesn’t require paying for a VPN to avoid facing the risks of online piracy.

I’m a foreign bad actor.

It’s a perfectly nice game smothered under a terrifyingly exploitative business model. If you have trouble with addiction or gambling it’s best to skip it entirely, but if you can safely avoid those elements and like open world fantasy action RPGs then it’s worth a go.

Absolutely. The Yakuza/Judgement/Like a Dragon games reuse maps and animations like TV shows reuse sets and locations and there is nothing wrong with this.

Yes, EU policy is clear. Foreign companies deliberately undercutting European business to monopolize whole sectors is only ok if they’re American, not Chinese. Amazon good, BYD bad.

Gaming PCs really ought to have some sort of extra processing chip on the motherboard just to run all of the fucking launchers each with own their special account and DRM and whatnot.

What book is this image from? It definitely speaks to the massive problem with fragile masculinity in American media - it would be interesting to see what else is said about it.

Fahrenheit is what Americans feel, Celsius is what everyone else feels, and Kelvin is just Celsius +273.

AI, algorithms, and the statistics that power them are not that smart. They have no way of knowing for sure what is in your head when you hit the delete button.
