  • Have you tried not using twitter anymore? /s

    I totally get you, sometimes nazis co-opt the palestine issue to spout some racist shit about jewish people, and some of the real pro-palestine protestors I think are being/becoming anti-semitic because of their anger about the genocide Israel is currently conducting/ has been conducting since it’s inception. (Not trying to justify the anti-semitism here btw.)

    From what my limited reading about it has shown me, is that this is a bigger issue online than in real-life protests.



  • Shamelessly stolen from r/youtubedrama I take no accountability:

    A couple of things happened that culminated in her going private. First, Anti-zionist folks have been accusing her for awhile of not being outspoken enough about the genocide (despite the fact she has made her stance on the topic known repeatedly). Next, she made a post this week condemning some actual anti-semitism, stating that it was harmful to the actual end-genocide movement. This post got her some backlash from anti-zionists once again, not sure why. Then she got kinda libbed up watching the DNC and made a short tweet about how good of a speaker Obama is. The Obama tweet caused a fresh wave of people attacking her due to Obama’s war crimes, and Contrapoints started being harassed with people sending her death threats and gorey videos of what’s going on in Palestine. She made a statement about how awful and unhelpful the harassment is, and then she deleted the tweets and went to private. You can see the deleted tweets by searching for the @ContraDeletes account on twitter.

    It seems like a case of chronically online people taking things way too far and eating their own. I feel bad for Natalie tbh, so I am a bit biased.










  • Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin

    Waited for the steam release and played through it almost fully with a friend in co-op, all DLC’s included. My GOTY last year. Fantastic gameplay (shoutouts to Team Ninja), with a story that starts off as a shitpost but evolves into (in my opinion) something really beautiful, I can only recommend this game to any Final Fantasy fan. Having played through FF1 is not required, but makes it a little bit more fun. Best protagonist.




  • The author goes quite to lengths to criticize and make fun of people who didn’t like DLSS 3, while probably not having a nVidia card that supported it (which is, kinda, fair), and then gets butthurt about FSR 3.0 being mostly universally loved, while not adressing the huge elephant in the room: FSR works on all brands of cards while DLSS does not, because nVidia is a greedy company. Of course, if more people can test the feature, more people are gonna like it. If nVidia made DLSS work on all brands this wouldn’t have been a problem, but then mr. butthurt author couldn’t have published this shit of an “article” (what is there to learn from this article, that gamers are whiny babies?)

    Trash article, hope author stubs his toe
