ByteDance is building its largest data center outside China in Brazil.
Watch Washington suddenly discover “national security.”
When U.S. tech dominates the world, it is called innovation.
When China builds infrastructure in the Global South, it is called influence.
Brazil gets investment, jobs, data infrastructure, and a place in the AI economy.
America gets anxiety.
That is the whole story.
China has put a new mega high-speed train station, Xi'an East, into operation yesterday.
The station is just as beautifully and modernly designed as Chongqing East.
I’m just so disappointed rn. We thought we only lost Valko but we could potentially be losing ALL Chinese Otome games now…
Who tf thought that reporting lads to the Chinese govt for “romanticizing women in danger” would result in anything good? They 100% want the end result for lads and other women focused games to be completely eradicated. This is why we don’t talk about taboo media or make a big deal out of it so it doesn’t get seen by the govt and we can keep it in our media. Fuck this “women’s safety” group who reported it (prob the same group who reported Snowbreak) they single handedly made things WORSE for women by doing this. Now there will be no more women focused games in china. They are not heroes for reporting games to the govt, they are cowards and a stain on the female community.
apparently this whole situation regarding Valko is bigger than just LADS or Infold themselves. There are people (officials) opposing the idea of otome games bc they are unhappy with how female oriented games disrupts the birth rate in China, bc women don’t care about irl men
BREAKING NEWS: Love and Deepspace hits catastrophic new low in terms of reception Globally!
It dropped from 4.4* to 2.2* overnight, and now has over 100,000 negative reviews from players as of 10AM, July 1st, 2026. This is the worst the game has been received since its inception.
Global players have begun to review bomb the game, leaving MILLIONS of negative reviews everywhere.
Infold and Papergames have, after their public address, went even further and absolutely NUKED every instance of Valko from their Youtube channel. No trailers, no livestreams, no YT shorts, nothing.
Naturally, this has upset even more players, as they're trying to sweep any and every instance of his existence under the rug, almost like he never existed.
This is TRAGIC. Completely disrespectful to their players, to their developers that invested YEARS of their time into creating him. What a waste.
To think: A lot of this could've been avoided if they'd just released a roadmap of some sort in advance.
UPDATE: PAPERGAMES WEBSITE IS DOWN!
And apparently they have taken down all of their LADS posters at the front of their office
LADS own website is still up and it is still listed on the infold site.
Love and Deepspace fans are holding memorial services for Valko after Infold, the game’s developer, pulled the plug on the wolfy love interest mere days before his debut. https://t.co/VI0MIE9EXe
