I hated school before, but getting trash thrown at me and I was the one called to the office to stop what I was doing.

nah. I like calling people out for giving the single downvote they use as the “I disagree with you” button as if it matters.

Yeah. Epic delisted the old games. You can not purchase a new copy on any of the digital store fronts, even the single player games. They also shutdown the servers that listed the available open servers. Not the game servers themselves that had map files stored on them. The master server was just a list of IP addresses that cost next to nothing to run. You can configure your install of the games to point to community run master servers, but no new players will know how to do that without someone helping them.

The remark is about how few conservative games there even are. Most games I can think of either lean left or have no political commentary in them.

The Unreal franchise can provide the Unreal franchise. There was no real reason for epic to delist the games from all the store fronts and shutdown the master servers other then wanting to control their brand. It was costing them pennies to keep that stuff up and to even shudown the single player games was completely.

As far as “the modern gaming landscape” goes, it can suck it. I’m not interested in playing modern multiplayer shooters. I’m tried a few and they come across as walking simulators and fidget spinner simulators.

Considering game devs are intimately aware of review bombing, I really doubt that it will have much negative effect on their userbase. I guess the next Alex Jones game wont use godot.

There’s a lot of old designs that still look better, or at least more unique then the newer stuff. Hell, even the 1997 version of the Beetle looks pretty good, but the shape became blanderized over time. Every car company is making the same car because they’re all designed by community and focus groups.

Hell, what’s the deal with the electric Ford Mustang? It’s fine on it’s own, but it’s not even the same body as the gas Mustang of the same year. Why call it a Mustang instead of putting an EV drive train into the actual one?

I wouldn’t own one because it doesn’t fit my lifestyle, but I know people who would love an aluminum bodied EV Beetle. I’d love an aluminum/EV version of the original DeLorean. The new ones looks too much like genetic super cars.

Much more likely to happen though is I’m going to get an Edison conversion kit for my 80’s C10 pickup.

They stopped making the original in 2003 and all models in 2019.

We also have killer robot dogs and illicit cloning labs irl now.

Any private, medical IP that gets abandoned should be eminent domained. If your company is going under or you don’t want to maintain it, either sell the ip to company that will maintain it or open it up.

Feels like the dotcom era all over again, but they’re better at stringing the scam along this time. Enough of the people need to believe the lie that it’s getting artificial longevity.

Fuck you Tim Sweeney. Fuck the fortnite model and fuck you for delisting and shutting down the Unreal franchise.

I think the “[all pronouns]” in their user name should give you a hint.

What does a real need a bottle opening for? Just rip it off with your bare hands.

You can’t just say the word “Statistics” in an argument without actually citing a study. It’s not some magic Win Argument button.

Are you convinced this is real? Are there any other reports of this?

edit: oh what the fuck!

lemmy community or the corresponding subreddit

ah, yes. Such reliable sources of info. I’m sure her antis aren’t going into those communities spreading doubt.

I’m not going to tell you “The Trans Community” like her because there is no monolith, but she is respected by many lgbtq+/ally creators, so I’ll be deferring to them over randos online. The biggest voices I’ve heard criticizing her for not making the donation have been anti-woke dramatubers, so I doubt their intentions are so pure. Hell, even Legal Mindset decided to weight in on whether or not Vshojo could fire her based on the assumption that Vshojo doesn’t know the full story and before he was originator to the vtuber crowd, he was putting out anti-woke videos criticizing Disney. There is a definite pattern with the loudest voices criticizing her that make me question their motives.

(Again, I never watched a single stream of hers so I don’t know anything besides the occasional drama that pops up outside the VShojo sphere, but that’s definitely the impression it gives me).

And you don’t think that’s suspicious? If the only info you have on the situation is from drama tubers, you’re just gonna get drama.

What if she simply doesn’t have the money to donate that? I’ve already said it was a mistake and that she should have made a public statement, but I doubt her antis would care.

Elara just did a deep dive into the froot’s document and compared it to the claims the ex brought forward. tl;rd: Her supposed cheating happened when they were separated and he was being abusive. In both cases, chatlogs are super easy to forge, so if froot’s document lacks any proof, so does the ex.

The charity thing is a different matter, but there’s two main points, both mistakes, but not malice. One, froot didn’t vet that specific charity very closely. That specific one may have been shady, so she would have gotten shit if she even did donate the money. Two, the donation amount was based purely on how many likes the post got. It wasn’t a Matching Donation or other type of fund raiser. Her antis went and liked her post just to try and bankrupt her. She probably should have made a public statement about the matter, but she didn’t steal any money like people seem to be claiming.
