TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK BOYS

I know it got quashed; I’m not saying there was a revolution. “Free Hong Kong, the revolution of our times” was the anti-oppression slogan said by the victor of a heartstone tournament (which there was no rule or stipulation against), which caused Blizzard to ban the player from all tournaments, and refuse to pay him the prize money he’d won in an attempt to suck up to the chinese government.

To clarify: I don’t expect a gaming company to stand up to a full blown authoritarian regime. But I certainly won’t support a company that willingly goes the extra mile to sell out to them.

Used to, but I’m a little past the age.

It’s over bro, the developers who made the game you love are long, long gone. That isn’t your company, it’s a corporation wearing that company’s bloody torn-off face as a mask

Holy sunk cost fallacy, batman. How fucking much does it cost to operate an ENTIRE GODDAMN NUCLEAR REACTOR just to fuel a tech project that nobody wants???

Yeah, makes sense. They’re an online community that is famously the gateway drug for rightwing hate groups before they move onto harder stuff. “Execute the furries” into “gays are bad” is basically a core part of the rightwinger life cycle

Insane how the Republicans made ‘unconstitutional’ into another meaningless buzzword in order to try and dodge the responsibility for Jan 6th.

…Goncharovka? Surely that’s not a real place. Let me check.

…Hmm, it does seem to be a real place, but… Well, I guess I just find this generally suspect. We’ll just have to see how it pans out before jumping to conclusions- maybe see if we can get some credible reporting.

I will pay for an adblocker before I pay for an ad provider to stop harassing me

I mean yeah, we WERE founded because we didn’t want to support shitty business practices from Reddit but we wanted a good Reddit substitute

But we get good posts that aren’t Reddit drama too

Oh, this is handy, I specifically avoid these guys.

Not for ethical reasons or anything, just I had these weird frozen meatballs from them when I was like 7 and nearly vomited myself to death in a holiday caravan’s bedroom before collapsing unable to move for an hour, conscious the entire time and simply unable to make my body respond. 1/10, not reccommended.

Thank fuck for that. With any luck the better conditions will even give them the power to push back on management if management demands something stupid be added to a game.

In an industry as notoriously dreadful as game development, every bit of quality of life counts.

Lol yep. Literally Amazon 101, there’s a very good reason you shouldn’t buy from them unless you HAVE to.

There’s not going to be anything ‘arbitrary’ about those inspections… In a bad way.

They haven’t gone overboard with THIS one, because they already went way the fuck overboard years ago and never got back on board

Man I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and make my next machine a linux one

This! I’m on one of the lategame bosses in the v6 expansion; they’re a lot tougher than the rest of the game so it’ll probably take me all weekend to get good enough to beat them

Fun fact, a Tesla spokesperson describing the car’s features was talking about how they wanted something on the car that didn’t make it to final release and said “But sadly we couldn’t get that law changed”, which does… kind of imply that they lobbied the regulatory bodies into allowing this piece of shit to exist.

“AAA Developers aren’t getting money from real keys either, what’s your point?”
