Looks like just a shitty theme but everything Chrome retained. What a waste.

And they need to kick out all of the shitty moderators who can’t moderate. They’re all complicit by letting the shit pile up.

You know what? Normally I don’t like politicians sticking their nose in games because historically speaking, they tend to side with the crowd that blames video games for nearly everything.

But this, yes, I’m fucking for this. I’m permanently banned from the Steam Forums because I made an honest suggestion to remove the stupid jester award. Because it was being used to brand all of my game reviews, while trolls were antagonizing me and being all snarky with how they’ve participated in the discussion.

And this went on for a good week and a half. Who did the moderators side with? The fucking trolls of course! Now while I don’t think Warner in particular has anything of interest in cases like mine. But I’ll tell you one thing about trolls online, is that they tend to be part of the groups listed in what Warner wrote to Valve. Because they are pieces of fucking shit that like to ruin everyone in trying to be a community and act like a clique of assholes who tend to have traces of racism, sexism, xenophobic .etc because they all make it out to be a joke.

In 2016, when I voted Bernie Sanders.

I lost two friends that year, because they wanted Clinton.

Welp, we knew who voted for the right person back then.

Once Gabe is done, I just hope he has someone in mind to sell Valve to. With all of the shit soon to fall around us, should Gabe Newell ever pass away or retire, may he find someone competent enough to carry on Steam as it is.

Because all it takes is for one bad deal to torpedo Steam. It could be in EA’s hands. It could be in Microsoft’s hands. Nobody is worthy to handle Steam as is but Valve and Gabe Newell.

And they’re doing this…after the election too.

Brain lapses, people.

Stop defending spam.

I’ve noticed that GOG now puts banners on what’s a classic game and what isn’t. I think they should split some parts of the site where one section is entirely classic games and the other is just DRM-free versions of current games.

I’ve not once ever contracted a virus or anything malicious whenever I’ve had an EOL OS online.

I’m not that fucking stupid. You just need to know your shit and know where not to go, if there is anywhere to go.

Nah, not for me. I’ve known to use Windows OSes beyond their EOL support. I remember having still been on Windows XP while everyone else went to Vista and then to Win7. When I got to Win8, it was only because I bought another computer from a friend that had it, that was how I got upgraded.

I don’t abide by when Microsoft wants me to upgrade by, if they can pull their heads out of their asses (unlikely) for Windows 12, then I might consider.

I have so many thoughts about this.

I would’ve wanted a conclusion just to shut up all of the dead-horse beating to dust memelords that for years have been wagoning their tiresome HL3 jokes.

But, it’s like, how many games have we waited so long to be released whether it’s to continue the story or end it and the reception being more of “…wait that’s it?!” than “I’m satisified.”

Gamers are the hardest people to appease, so I get the sentiment that Gabe not only felt stumped but written himself into a corner with HL3. Whatever hype at all that has been built, is insurmountably high that whatever Valve pitches out, it’s going to be mixed. It’ll have a higher chance of being what happened to Duke Nukem Forever in context, than it being what Baldur’s Gate 3 became 23 years later after Baldur’s Gate II. It’s a very narrow window to hit that sweet spot.

Something I don’t really like seeing when someone asks a question like this, is everyone just jerking someone around with their recommendations.

I would advise first to feel your tastes out, what do you feel like doing? What do you think is worth your time and even money to invest in? Whatever you feel gravitates you, go for it.

Shut the fuck up about the woes with your ex. You’re meant to move on and seek new people. Your ex should be old news, out of sight and out of mind. No new potential date should have to hear you crying about your bad marriage, about how things were once good between you and the other person. Because that’s you not letting go, regardless of what you’ve been through.

And if you keep droning on about your past relationships, you are chopping down what interest there is between you and the new person. That’s why you don’t get anyone new.

I love inventors and creative engineers. They are huge parts of the reason that makes the world go round and without them, we wouldn’t have ever made it as far through the ages as we have.

Simple - because it’s not Twitter.

The fediverse is considered ‘over’ when parasitic leeches like Musk and Spez come knocking on Lemmy’s and BlueSky’s doors like “we want growth…please sell to us”.

As of Nov 6, 2024, the average annual pay for a Video Game Journalism in the United States is $123,552 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $59.40 an hour. This is the equivalent of $2,376/week or $10,296/month.

Should’ve read the signs.

The day GameInformer got shut down. The day IGN bought a handful of them, just to shut them down. Kotaku has been closing some of it’s branches.

Remasters should never be full MSRP price. That’s just cash grabbing to me. And this is from someone who doesn’t particularly care for RTS games.

Considering the political climate shift, I expect both of these to pass anyways.
