@ShankMods Cracks and emulation. Want to play a discontinued/pulled game on PC? Get the cracked version. You may need to brave the high seas for it, but it's there if you look hard enough.
gamedev is so terrible rn. Every day you wake up and read a news article that says "xbox filled another successful dev studio office with killer bees and locked the doors" and then some guy in the comments is like "good, no more woke"

I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.
Also it's actually pretty difficult with this image and quite time consuming.
It just happens I had nothing better to do. /1
The average woman is invisible to men like this, who live in a delusional state where 99% of women simply do not exist.
All but the stupidest women are aware that the men who post thirst traps online are the top 1% of men. They know this because other men simply will not leave them alone.
But this realization is increasingly not mirrored in men, who receive little attention from women, unwanted or otherwise, and thus foolishly conclude that the only women exist are those they give attention to. These attractive influencers are the only women they ever interact with, because they are pathetically unable to cope with the possibility of actual rejection.
Thus, these men endlessly seethe over posts of very attractive women living extremely lavish lifestyles, both inflating their idea of what the average woman looks like and lifestyle she has access to. This makes these men get their jimmies so rustled that they become radicalized into this peculiar type of misogyny.
Basically, we now have this lower class of men who assume all women are impossibly beautiful sex workers who hate them and will not have sex with them, and therefore deserve to be knocked down a peg and punished.
It's completely ridiculous when you think about what's happening, and yet, these men base their entire sense of self on such absurd distortions of reality, and get incredibly irate if you tell them to go outside and stop being such doomposting losers.
@Mis_Ashford@Detective_Roo Also, if you're going to blame LGBTQIA+ people & DEI for ruining games, & not the entertainment industry CEOs or their shareholders, who only ever saw LGBTQIA+ people & DEI as promotional items & then donated to Western ethno-nationalism, you're not ready to fight censorship.
ESA (the lobby) just bullshited about the POG Act being "forever server support" again, and this time its their CEO personally :)

Ubisoft CEO is today having an "invitation-only" meeting with the European Commission, hosted by VGE, 2 weeks before the EC planned answer to our ECI.
SKG was not invited.
Thus, we publish an Open Letter, that we invite everyone of you to read it and share it for visibility.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
This reader comment on a NY Times column where Ross Douthat ponders that maybe God is speaking to us through A.I. is an absolute fastball on the corner with movement, and deserves a column. "Lightening was once mysterious too; mystery did not make Zeus correct" is perfect.
How this sounds:
“The [gun rights] thing is very simple. It doesn’t make sense in a world of [AR-15s] where [mass shooting] is an extraordinarily [dangerous threat]. Forget the [‘well-regulated militia’] debate or the ‘original meaning’ of anything. It’s just ridiculous now.”
Ashley St. Clair confirmed the WH runs group chats telling these accounts what to post. Within minutes of shots fired tonight, before there was any news of casualties and before the President said this exact talking point, this was the chat in real time.
Very different than what the DoJ is claiming in their bs headlines.
SPLC paid informants to help infiltrate extremists groups and learn about their operations.
Not only is that why some of their programs were so effective, but the DoJ knows fine well, most of that information was shared with law enforcement as well.
This is entirely a political prosecution.
