Doesn’t matter. If they haven’t convinced people to switch to their platform, they haven’t solved the problem of transforming the medium.

I see Bluesky handles more than Twitter handles nowadays, even among popular streamers, YouTubers, whoever. And I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a Mastodon handle.

leads it into being something truly unique and wonderful that directly challenges some of the most evil and wealthy people on the planet,

Everybody switched to BlueSky, not Mastodon. So, I feel like this whole project has been a failure, especially in the marketing dept.

BlueSky barely got started in Feb, and people immediately jumped ship from Twitter by the millions. Mastodon started nine years ago, and people hardly know what it is.

The original reason Krafton gave for firing the founders was that Subnautica 2 was being pushed out before it was ready just so the founders could get their bonuses.

Neither sides of that look good.

Elfen Lied? I swear the only thing I remember about that anime was the controversy about its gore and themes.

Journalists should be funded by the public, as they perform a public service, while simultaneously they should not be required to report favorably upon the state.

And that’s the crux of the issue, isn’t it? You can’t let corpos piss all over journalism to turn it yellow, and you can’t let a state-run press dictate the citizen’s world view.

Information wants to be free, and that’s realistically the only way it can work.

Name the cases.

I feel like this would be as batshit crazy as handing the beloved Dune series to a madman like Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Enter The Matrix was one of the rare exceptions. That game genuinely slapped.

The game was glued together with duct tape. And not the good kind. The cheap Chinese knock-off brand that’s been sitting in the hot garage for 5 years.

I’ve been playing around with bazzite a bit, and for sure, i can run a lot of games on it, but you often end up googling which launcher to use, which settings to use, … And then even if you find something, it doesn’t always work.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Launch Steam.
2. Install game.
3. Hit Play.

Zero issues.

So, ban itself? You can’t hire corruption to clean out corruption.

Funny how that plays out, considering the data collection of LLMs have to dance around the copyright issue.

Not that I agree with many of people that say looking at a picture and adjusting weights is considered “stealing an image”.

PushingUpRoses and Grimbeard both did good reviews on this game. Glad to see a boomer shooter tuber like Civvie 11 trying it out.

Well, you’ll have to ask the person making that claim to begin with.

That implies I want to argue with somebody who is sealioning.

Linux Mint works great, but I’ve heard good things about Bazzite, too.

I agree. This time, it’s actually different. Big name streamers and YouTubers are showing their support. Not just people in the tech industry, but random channels like EmKay and PewDiePie.

Linux is better than ever. Steam is a breeze. Wine support has never been better.

Meanwhile, Windows has more nasty surprises, underhanded backstabs, and security nightmares than ever before.

Reserve your hate for Photoshop, the monthly subscription that is so overpriced they force $300-400 cancellation fees to keep them addicted. They are the only product in this space that deserves hate.

Going private could have been a net positive. But, not from venture capitalists, and certainly not from the Saudis.

Also, taking on this much debt as part of the buyout is just asking to be gutted and carved out, complete with record-breaking layoffs.

If you play on PC, use mods. Trust me… just use the damn mods. Life’s too short to be banging your head against the wall over and over again.

Returnal can be fun, worth playing, and has a great story to piece together. But it has some of the most git-gud toxic bullshit design choices I’ve ever seen from developers. Find a level of mod usage that gives you enough difficulty that you’re comfortable with.

Also, as an FPS player, I do not understand how anybody could play this game on controller. I ditched that shit about 30 minutes into it and immediately raised my skill level threefold with the mouse.

Yes, item bloat is very real. Binding of Isaac had too much of it, but at least Edmund started buffing bad items a bit more with the DLCs and patches.
