Ostrich burger is delicious

[solid sun]

maybe if we could find in what department and capacity those people worked on those games we could notice a pattern

[zinc depot]

Ostrich burger with cavern aged cheddar topping and mustard

[hearty sonnet]

Just mustard?

Why was my cheese in a cavern?

[zinc depot]

It was aging

[hearty sonnet]

I dunno, man, I'm not sold

Is this one of them fancy burgers with only the bottom half of the bun?

[zinc depot]

Nah, made with an onion bagel

[hearty sonnet]

Was the onion bagel aged in a labyrinth?

Cuz if not, I won't eat it

[zinc depot]

[peak folio]

Ask Chad Grenier

[solid sun]

because it comes from europe where cheese is allowed to develop a rich flavour.

[hearty sonnet]

Aging something in a cavern sounds gimmicky, like it sounds cool and fancy and that's what makes it special haha

Probably got that guano rizz too

[solid sun]

is this about the Chad?

[solid sun]

no people have the technology of doors unlocked, well the doors are locked, but the technology isn't

[peak folio]

Literally the guy who directed both games.

[solid sun]

oh

[peak folio]

He posted a bunch of Highguard stats after the shutdown announcement.

[solid sun]

oh, I just realized by Rainbow Six Siege went with attacker and defender and both doing only one thing at the time, instead of both teams being attacker and defender at the same time, on a giant map, with resource gathering and weapon gathering.

[glacial mauve]

I got a radeon rx 5700 xt. I dont think this will be possible to run well

[solid sun]

"unbiased internal pre-reveal feedback"
how can feedback be unbiased if it comes from the internals?

[peak folio]

A 5700 xt should be faster than a 6500 xt so it ought to be playable.

(The first digit is generation, the second digit is performance class)

[peak folio]

Yeah, that turned out to be a miss, unfortunately.

[open scaffold]

Unoptimized shitty game

[peak folio]

Just get a PS5 then

[solid sun]

I also hear again about the WIldlight Studio being founded not to make games, but out of spite because the developers didn't make enough money or feeling the huge amount of money apex legends made trickled down enough, so they made a program to share any earning between each others more equally.

That's not working to make a good game, but trying to make a game to earn them money.

[peak folio]

Feels like a case of “they’re doing it cuz they can”, not because they need help keeping the lights on

[open scaffold]

this is how it is for a public company

you MUST make more and more money to make the company more and more valuable to keep the shareholders happy infact by law (in the usa anyway) a company must first look out for the shareholders interests before us so you must make more money then you did last quarter report

this results in ceo's doing anything to cut corners to make profit not caring about anything else but profit

a ceo's job is to make the company more and more valuable for the shareholders

its why valve is on top they dont have share holders and dont answer to them they only have to answer to us the consumers of there product

they focus on the customer unlike epic games or ubislop

[hexed sentinel]

Maybe they should stop giving away games.

[zinc depot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0vUwyDoUJQ

[zinc depot]

Misconception

You are not legally required to make shareholders money

They peddle this but it's not true

However

You are not allowed to intentionally drive a company into the ground

There's no legal entitlement to profit

[barren sierra]

You can be sued if your Business is doing shit tho

[zinc depot]

They have to prove you intentionally sabotage it

[barren sierra]

But that rarely pays out since governments usually do bail outs

[zinc depot]

A business that doesn't do well isn't illegal, that would be nonsense

[open scaffold]

yes you are

[zinc depot]

Yeah, unless you are a big bank, then gov bails you out lmao

[barren sierra]

So there isn't really consequences to that

[open scaffold]

and if you dont they can sue you

[zinc depot]

Not true

[open scaffold]

well the company

[zinc depot]

They can make a stink about it and have you removed from the company

[open scaffold]

if your not making the shareholders money

they can sue on many grounds

[zinc depot]

It's not illegal to not make money

That would be dumb

[peak folio]

Idk, if Fortnite players are willing to subsidize it anyway…

[open scaffold]

its not illegal to not make money but it is illegal to make such bad business decisions that would lead you to making no money

which the shareholders could then sue on grounds of negligence

[zinc depot]

That would fall under intentionally sabotaging the company

Which is funny since many leftist positions have sabotaged many companies

Budlight for example

[open scaffold]

incompetence is one thing sabotage is a whole diffrent can of worms

bud light was super stupid

but they didint do it to purposely loose a bunch of money

they where trying to pander and it backfired hard

but if they kept doing it over and over

after it failed super hard then you could argure "yeah hey maybe the people at the top are doing this on purpose lets sue them"

[honest rivet]

Oh no, politic

[zinc depot]

Hardly, unless bud light is political

[honest rivet]

No, saying "leftist positions have sabotaged companies"

[open scaffold]

disney

[honest rivet]

They had a popular person run an ad, there was backlash from conservatives because they had an identity that's been made political.

[open scaffold]

it wasennt "conservatives"

bud light built it self on a brand it had a heavy brand before the shit went down infact a spokes person said it took em 10 years to get the rep it had but it only took that bitch a week to ruin it

[honest rivet]

Disney's not bad because of politics, Disney's bad because of creative decay.

[open scaffold]

its a mix of both

look at star wars

ray is a "girl boss"

[honest rivet]

A movie can have an empowered female lead and be bad for non-political reasons. In the case of that Star Wars trilogy, it falls under creative decay. Three movies, three directors, three incomplete understandings of what made the original trilogy (which it was a retelling of) work.

[open scaffold]

yeah i love the blue samurai anime never said they cant i said ray is a "girl boss"

she picked up a light saber and was a master at it the first time she used it she is a expert in fighting without ever having trained she faces real no hardships or character arcs

look at anakin for example look at all he went through

[honest rivet]

That's not a problem with her gender. That's a problem with her characterization.

[open scaffold]

they wanted to throw in a "girl boss"

[barren sierra]

"Are you too poor to fork over 1.80 extra for vbucks"

[open scaffold]

its very very very very very evident

[honest rivet]

Bad characterization is non-political.

[humble parrot]

That's a problem of the writer being shit

[open scaffold]

its pandering

they wanted to pander to the left via a girl boss type shit

left values anyway

they built her up using leftist values

trying to appeal to them as best as they could

and it flopped hard

[humble parrot]

Either way, it ended with a dead franchise and George Lucas looking wise for having it sold for billions

[honest rivet]

Not really no. Good female empowerment pandering would have her earn her strength to prove doubters wrong, even if the writing supporting it were bad. Ray's instant success is just plain bad.

[open scaffold]

"you give up your soul for wealth but what are you left with"

point is he gave up his creation for wealth i think he would have been more happy working on creating more and more out of it

[humble parrot]

Retirement

[open scaffold]

but i dont know him personally this is just my guess

[open scaffold]

people who love what they do tend to not retire most of the time

[humble parrot]

People shat on him for the prequels

[open scaffold]

i LOVED them

people just dont have an attention span

[honest rivet]

It wasn't leftism that made the films bad. It was bad writing. You can, in fact many films do, write with strictly left-wing values and succeed. Star Wars is a great examole of that.

[humble parrot]

I loved them too, but that's what happened in the end

[open scaffold]

it had left ist values was that the sole thing that made the movie bad no of course not

but did it play an impact yes

[open scaffold]

facts are the facts

fact is though i think most people expected more light saber battles and intense cgi battles instead of politics

[honest rivet]

Not really. It wasn't a female empowerment fantasy. It was just bad writing. It'd be just as bad if Ray were a dude.

[open scaffold]

she picked up a lightsaber and won against a sith master her charcter is super strong willed and alyways chooses right come on now

if it was a dude i would be saying it was red pill shit

[honest rivet]

Yeah that's not leftism that's just bad writing

servers cost a lot to mantain man

[peak folio]

I’m well aware how big Fortnite is.

[honest rivet]

Specifically classic Mulan, it greatly benefits from leftis values of women's liberation by showing how great results can be earned from working smarter, not harder. In time she exceeds her peers not just because her physical strength matches theirs, but because she's willing to break tradition to do things better.

[peak folio]

Just that bit was what Hunter was poking fun at.

[honest rivet]

I'm also partial to Robots since it's literally socialist propaganda and they made Fender trans as a "joke" since trans rights weren't mainstream at the time.

[peak folio]

“If freaking fortnite needs help paying bills then god help us all”

[open scaffold]

i dont know anything about her but right from the start can she beat anyone even if they are super duper skilled can she alyways choose right and never has any hardships or has any character development

if so sounds pretty lame to me

[honest rivet]

You didn't describe leftism or "girlboss" pandering, you described bad writing.

[barren sierra]

I ran out of characters at the moment but the list is relatively huge

[open scaffold]

sure

[honest rivet]

Girlboss pandering would have her earn her strength to prove she's worthy of her success. The writing around that can still be bad, like new Mulan.

[barren sierra]

Whats that blonde girl named from vampire D

She fits the archetype

[honest rivet]

Gtg, work break's over

[open scaffold]

it would be here in a male dominated field (star wars) surrounded by men who are more stupid then she is so she can alyways be the one making the decisions (star wars) she has no problem and has to earn nothing as she is already perfect holly wood execs have labeld there own female characters as "girl bosses" in interviews

they are a girl boss holly wood has a different definition then you do your still using the old term

i understand the girl boss your reffering to the woman who is strong who runs a company and fights to keep her place she is smart as a whip and not afriad to show her dominance in the work place

im talking about the holly wood girl boss

[barren sierra]

Oh yeah forgot Nikkita

And whas her name...Jean from xmen

[open scaffold]

saying people that i dont know about

[barren sierra]

Well obviously you've been centered on shit released in last 5 years when i have a good ~30+ years of data

[open scaffold]

or we just dont watch the same types of media?

Yeah tell me about it

[open scaffold]

maybe its well known among 30 year olds

but among 20 year olds yeah no

[novel sun]

That's just a lie

[barren sierra]

my niece is 17 and played Kotor 1

[open scaffold]

never once heard of this game until now

and ive been gaming my entire life

[novel sun]

I'm in my 20s and while I'm not into Kotor I know it's one of the most beloved Star Wars games

[kindred sleet]

acting like its a corner stone of gaming like half life

[worldly ivy]

Well it is Knights of the Old Republic so of course it’s old

[open scaffold]

it probs is a good game

[peak folio]

When it comes to narratives

[open scaffold]

these people are acting like everyone pre born 2005 knows about it

ik its weird game was dropped in 2003 so people who would have been around to play it grew up in the 90's

yall are old

[peak folio]

Like some obscure game called World of Warcraft

[open scaffold]

that is timeless people still play it today

[novel sun]

You don't have to have played it at launch to know about it

[worldly ivy]

Probably a lot more well known among the Star Wars fans that got here before episode 7

Back when the Extended Universe was still canon

[novel sun]

Please show when I was rude

[open scaffold]

unlike star wars that game had clans groups memes like LEEEE ROYYYY JAKKINS that are timeless and people still play it today a lot of people\

[peak folio]

https://tenor.com/view/droids-clone-wars-starwars-dancing-gif-21189356

[novel sun]

The only person being rude was HK and that was before all of us talking about Kotor being well known

[peak folio]

dw too much about HK being rude, just murder droid things

[open scaffold]

i guess not knowing a character from a game from over 20 years ago means i should read the books or im stupid?

i think hk is a short bus rider

[peak folio]

Like I said, don’t worry about that.

But yeah, they should have ended the last TGA with that kotor teaser than highguard, but ah well

[barren sierra]

You are too young to call a franchise shit when it was never good , we are talking writing that has thousands of prodigy characters described as "the greatest" that had 0 training and were merely "gifted". like for fucks sake they have a literal "Hut" Jedi described as one of the strongest

Its always been the trope of the franchise and always will, even when it was purely "Lucas arts" driven

[zinc depot]

Not that franchise

It is dead as a donut

[barren sierra]

Idk i can't call it a franchise given it was so shit they pushed the original writer out of it trying to fix it

And up to date they could not

[zinc depot]

This cannot be overstated, did you see the final movie?

[barren sierra]

Im terrified to watch new star wars movies since i saw Luke throw away his lightsaber

Like what the fuck

[zinc depot]

Allow me to sum up the final scene of the final movie

[barren sierra]

Please don't

[zinc depot]

Since you wont watch anyway

[barren sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/i-love-you-binh-gif-6142726653922245520

There is no need to taint me further

[worldly ivy]

A large helping of dried rice

[zinc depot]

So earth studious is back, it was his clone that died and there's a lot of those but we see the original sitting on a throne

So rey arrives and sidious is now godlike and the rebels turn up in ships, he force lightning shoots the entire fleet of them, from the ground, shooting into space and blowing them up

Then a big old empire fleet of star destroyers and capital ships come out of nowhere, and red is suddenly even better and she force lightning shoots the ships too, and kills idiots

Then declares she's taking the name skywalker

The end

[sacred mango]

Oh God. The Sequel Trilogy.

[zinc depot]

Thats actually the ending

Im not joking

Force lightning, into space, destroying cruisers

[barren sierra]

Force lightning in space hasn't been seen since the era of Marka Ragnos and Exar Kun

Who were absurdly strong sith

[zinc depot]

It was so ridiculous

[barren sierra]

we are talking actual galactic threat levels

[zinc depot]

Sidious wasn't that strong

[barren sierra]

I wouldn't know dude, they changed his power levels 6x trough the books alone

[zinc depot]

Nobody can destroy an entire fleet of capital ships with force lightning, from on a planet

[worldly ivy]

Oh yeah they kill 3PO too basically for things to get here

[zinc depot]

Chewbacca is dead in one of the movies btw

[worldly ivy]

The movie’s like 7 years old now and absolute dogshit I don’t feel guilty spoiling it

[barren sierra]

to be fair hes old even for a wookie

[zinc depot]

Yeah but

[peak folio]

The only post-Disney Star Wars movie worth watching os Rogue One

[zinc depot]

For absolutely no reason, and no lead up to it

Rey just force lightning blasts a ship he is on and blows it up

[worldly ivy]

No I think they also gave him a medal too because of the meme he got nothing in the award ceremony

[zinc depot]

No reason at all

Just a scene where she screams at the ship and destroys it

[barren sierra]

They killed Mace Windu the same way, the "god of speed" had his arms cut off by a snail pace lightsaber strike by someone that barely kept up with DOOku

[humble parrot]

I loved the writter's motto: Subvert expectations. You expected a good movie and got dogshit.

[zinc depot]

Does she hate wookies?, did she think the ship was hostile? Who the heck knows because it wasn't explained or hinted at, and was forgotten

[worldly ivy]

Did she even know he was there

[zinc depot]

Dunno

The movie just shoved that scene in your face with no lead up and never references it again

[barren sierra]

The better question is, did the movie lore teams know

[zinc depot]

Bold of you to assume there was any lore at that point

[peak folio]

Subverting of expectations, part 7 is a reboot of the og, then killing the main villain half way through and going freestyle for the rest

[barren sierra]

So yeah when ever people tell me "modern movies are shit", my brother in the force, the entirety of the industry on that regard has always been shit

People are just too narrow minded and look at recent releases

[peak folio]

There’s a definite decline

In every measurable way

[worldly ivy]

I find your lack of actual storytelling disturbing

[barren sierra]

Im not saying its not worse than it was, but it was never "good"

[peak folio]

Fair

[zinc depot]

My headcanon is that mace windu survived and dipped out of the entire thing

Was just done with it

[barren sierra]

Y know what, I'll agree to that theory

Sure hes without arms probably mechanized

but away from all this shit

[zinc depot]

One arm

And lightsabers cauterize

Doubt a little sith lightning could do much to him, he just slows his fall and decides to take a vacation

[worldly ivy]

Look if Maul can survive a skyscraper-height fall with just his torso, Windu can survive it with one arm.

[zinc depot]

Maul what

He dead

Was cut clean in half

[worldly ivy]

No he survived, he’s alive in Clone Wars

[zinc depot]

Is a clone, right

Clone wars

[worldly ivy]

No

It’s actually Darth Maul

[zinc depot]

Bruh he was bisected horizontally

[worldly ivy]

He gets a new lower half and keeps kicking ass

[zinc depot]

.....

I dont care much for modern writers

[worldly ivy]

He had like spider legs in his first appearance and that got compressed into normal looking legs

[zinc depot]

lol

[teal iron]

correction, he gets TWO new lower halves

and then he spends the entirety of star wars rebels trying to get his revenge by manipulating the comically easily manipulated main character and then finally confronts kenobi and dies basically immediately

[zinc depot]

Did Hollywood fire every talented writer and bring in college interns?

[teal iron]

and they probably made him survive that so they could recycle his insane homeless man ranting in another spinoff/side media

[zinc depot]

I don't write, I paint walls for a living and I could write better stories

[worldly ivy]

Write a story on a wall

Paint over it

[teal iron]

symbolic

[barren sierra]

It's honestly hilarious the character that cut him in half, stabs him to kill him once more

[zinc depot]

"Why won't you die"

[barren sierra]

Not even spent effort, old ben just went "bzzt" then held him in his hands trying to fake compassion

[teal iron]

it's also hilarious that maul's literal entire arc, for like 3 seasons of star wars television, was that he was going to find kenobi and kill him

[worldly ivy]

The one guy he’s been looking for for at least 20 years and he gets fucking folded

[teal iron]

like, he had NO REASON TO EXIST besides that revenge, he was the major plot driver on several other characters' arcs, he almost turned a jedi apprentice to the dark side, purely to serve that goal

everything was building up to that and he basically lasts all of 10 seconds against kenobi

[barren sierra]

I mean that's the whole shtick of every sith , "I exist cause im angry at something"

[teal iron]

which idk maybe that's poetic
He didn't learn anything, he was so consumed by his rage he didn't even have a real plan

[worldly ivy]

Still better than Kenobi the series

[teal iron]

And spending your life chasing the past will rob you of your future

[barren sierra]

So yeah, long story short, movies always fucking sucked, gotta dig through metric tons of shit to find the good 1%

[worldly ivy]

“Always two, there are. A master and an apprentice.”

Meanwhile Maul at the bottom of that fucking pit on Nabuu:

[teal iron]

I thought episode 3 was awesome especially after you watch the clone wars

[barren sierra]

And its not just Star wars

Was his spider legs ever explained

Except the "I used force"

[teal iron]

He just assembled them because apparently he knows how to do that

he was so angry he learned robotics engineering

[worldly ivy]

His vibe coding is full of anger

[teal iron]

RAGE CODING

MACHINES INSTRUCTED ONLY BY VIOLENCE AND BLOODLUST

[zinc depot]

Surprised they just didnt put him back together

[teal iron]

Also known as the HK series

[barren sierra]

Reminds me of that green lantern that emulates the lower part of his body 24/7 on an atomic level to keep himself alive

[zinc depot]

Since they do anything anyway

[boreal crow]

How many IPs did Pickmon take? 4? 5? I about lost it at roadhog ngl

[worldly ivy]

Get ready for the next twist character in Star Wars.

Darth Maul’s lower half.

[zinc depot]

That story was crazy

Green lanterns could do that

[barren sierra]

"I had seconds to learn biology just to recreate my entire gut system"

[zinc depot]

The ring is limited by will and imagination

It can do pretty much anything

[worldly ivy]

A Green Lantern’s superpower is Yes

It’s pretty much full scale reality warping

[zinc depot]

Hard light constructs

[barren sierra]

And they do the dumbest of shit with the powers

[zinc depot]

Difficult to master

[barren sierra]

like conjure a train to crash into intergalactic giants

At that point its stupidity and not training

[worldly ivy]

Oh yeah there’s the one time Kyle Rayner changed how long a Planck length is

[zinc depot]

You basically mind controlling constructs

[barren sierra]

You warp reality and don't think of creating small black holes to kill enemies

[zinc depot]

Would be insane to control

[novel sun]

Don't remind me

[barren sierra]

IDK if a green lantern can recreate the human gastric system we don't even understand as doctors, im sure he can draft a black hole for a mini second

[zinc depot]

Would have to understand a black hole to create it

[worldly ivy]

The only reason why Hal Jordan isn’t the most powerful thing ever is because he’s uncreative as shit and keeps making jets and guns

[zinc depot]

I dont think anyone understands black holes

[barren sierra]

He didn't understand his bowels either, feels like one of those tropes of "I dont cook, but i ate food before so I can"

[zinc depot]

Little less complex but

If you can keep the blood flowing you could stay alive until you refine it

[barren sierra]

So nothing stops him imagining a "well of infinite gravity" and collapsing it after

[worldly ivy]

Oh yeah there’s a Green Lantern that’s a sentient math equation

Apparently it’s mathematical proof that willpower exists

[zinc depot]

Big difference

A black hole is a physics entity

Bit different to imagining say a block

[worldly ivy]

Oh yeah and there’s another that’s a sentient form of smallpox

[zinc depot]

So the ring is microscopic

[barren sierra]

so is warp travel but we put it into movies for ages now

i don't believe into realism when stories are written which is exactly why movies function as a concept

[zinc depot]

Consistency and logic are needed

[barren sierra]

Where, the entire sequels industry was built on inconsideration towards consistency

And not always, but it produced results

That doesn't make them a good product, but it gets watch time

Stupid example, Buffy the vampire slayer and Angel the Vampire

Quoting my father " The story makes no sense, im only watching cause of her nice ass"

[worldly ivy]

I mean like you said, it’s just based on willpower and imagination. You don’t need to really understand every facet of what you’re making, just imagine it. You can make entire creatures despite not knowing exactly how their bodies work.

[barren sierra]

My mother watched every Jean Claude movie in existence, only cause he looked nice, if i ask her about the plot shell always say it has been shit

[peak folio]

Don’t ask anyone who follows actors to talk about plot

They don’t care even when one is presented to them

[barren sierra]

Yeah that's why i dont understand the "modern" thinking of "movie bad" when they were rarely good to begin with

I like every Jackie Chan movie ive seen but i can isolate maybe 2 ive actually liked the plot off

You watch it for the fighting comedy

Hi there hope theres any developer here just want to say theres a game getting published by Pocketgame named picmon who is a straight copy of palworld

[honest rivet]

The devs are likely aware, it's been spoken of at length.

If PocketPair's legal team smells a threat to their intellectual property, they'll pursue it. Otherwise it's likely to be just another forgotten bootleg in the ocean of knockoff games that's polluted the industry since its birth.

I didn’t think this was anything new…

[zinc depot]

😂

[peak folio]

I completely stopped using the TV app years ago because of this…

[zinc depot]

Do they not know

The history of what happens to services that shove adverts down people's throats?

[devout quiver]

The counter goes up by one and cycle resets.

Back in my yarrharr days i didnt aquire my treasure for being able to look at it when i wanted.

It was to not see the damn adds and the retail boxes were overpriced or region locked for arbitrary reasons

Radio at least have funny comercials

[maiden narwhal]

There was one service that offered “premium” and still gave ads. I wanna say it was YouTube, but might’ve been something else

[deep idol]

The worse the service gets, the more people will be driven to the yarhar methods.

[devout quiver]

Youtube

[devout quiver]

Streaming won because it was easier than yarrharr

[deep idol]

It was, but now it's falling into the same trap Cable did before its advent: "Ensquigification" as I like to call it.

[peak folio]

Path of least resistance

[night plume]

O.o
It already plays an unskippable 56 second ad the moment I turn on the app and another when I select a video, and then a 30 second ad after the intro of the video.

Are they adding another unskippable?

[devout quiver]

What about third unskippable

And yes cause money

[night plume]

I am just glad it isn't giving me those nsfw game ads anymore.
I get it, I watch horror game youtubers, it does not mean I want sexualized phone games

[devout quiver]

I said it a few weeks ago, i no longer know why or have desire to use the internet

[night plume]

Fund the libraries so we all have to go there for information again

[devout quiver]

Heck even the cellphone feels useless at times, but fking work demands it

IT free weeks are frankly enjoyable.

[deep idol]

I have been getting annoyed by ads so much, I have figured out loopholes to avoid them and still have access to YouTube's content. If the device in question can't do loopholes, I won't use it for YouTube.

[devout quiver]

Adnauseum i found being the best adblocker.

It is not in the interest of siteowners to block it for users that have adnauseum are more profitable than users who dont have adblockers

It keeps adds from you but also clicks all adds so the data collected is worthless and the siteowner gets a full payday

[teal iron]

Adblock detection doesn't discriminate as far as I know

[maiden narwhal]

Win win. Ad Nauseum is good, been using it too

[devout quiver]

To my experience it does but it depends on the codebase

[teal iron]

Just use a better browser than chrome and any blocker works

[devout quiver]

Brave

Still i dont surf the webs

Nothing worth seeing

00s internet was fun.

The 20s internet is so dull

[night plume]

I still use brave. Been working well

[devout quiver]

Good old runescape days xd

[teal iron]

I love everything taking forever to download, every website looking ugly, every virus looking like legitimate software and working by being on the webpage at all, and the only resources for anything being 10,000 page forums that barely mention the topic

[deep idol]

I found out just a little while ago what's been happening with Firefox. I am thinking of giving Brave a go soon.

[devout quiver]

I had fiber in 2003
I do not share your experience

[teal iron]

Web 2 > Web 1
Web 1 was just bad from a practical standpoint

[night plume]

I had dial up up until 2024 o.o

[devout quiver]

State decided to install it and we just hooked up as they dug it past us

[teal iron]

My experience was that I was only allowed on the computer on a few specific occasions but I got a virus by going to a website with a bunch of Mario flash games

[night plume]

It wasn't called dial up after a bit, but it was still dial up. Just took away the cool connection noises.

[devout quiver]

Unsupervised, free to explore everything
Free to get scarred but also free to learn

[teal iron]

You can still do those things?

The Internet is still basically completely unsupervised despite the best efforts of seemingly every political faction?

[devout quiver]

And getting a virus is more an initiation to the internet, there is bad shit out there so be careful about what you do

[teal iron]

It just looks and functions prettier now

[devout quiver]

No, its gagged

Everything is the same

[teal iron]

That's because your idea of different is a word document looking webpage with a different tacky background

[deep idol]

I was just about to post the dial-up sound but the rules of the off-topic tab will not let me. 😂 😭

[teal iron]

Every webpage in 2001 used times new roman, has 0 page styling, and consists entirely of massive blocks of unfocused rambling with inline pictures and iridescent blue hyperlinks that are put there like they're magical portals

[devout quiver]

Very judgemental and grasping there

[teal iron]

Which they probably were because the Internet was barely functional

And you might not have ever found the thing without the hyperlink

[deep idol]

If you are interested, I posted it in Off-Topic Memes.

https://marketrealist.com/how-to-trick-website-chatbots-into-giving-exclusive-deals/

I found out about this yesterday. This blew up on Reddit a couple years ago and it caused a PR nightmare for General Motors. If an AI can be so easily convinced, imagine if it were in charge of more sensitive information and someone "convinced" it in the same manner.

Heh, I guess this gives the term "social engineering" a whole new meaning. 😆

[maiden narwhal]

Things like that ensure that the human workforce will never be fully replaced

[glad needle]

Try Mullvad

[peak folio]

Yeah, I’m confused too as to how this is new.

[glad needle]

Mainly because people keep finding ways around censorship and surveillance

The "Metacritic game journalist" reviewer, same group of people who started rumors that Black Myth Wukong was sexist

Same group of people who couldn't deal with Stellar Blade being a hit, because it was too sexy

[cobalt briar]

Pickmon Twitter got evaporated, huh
rip in peace I guess

[gusty marten]

Which remind me of that piece of shit on Twitter comparing model causing unnecessary controversy, all that trouble caused because he think Palworld abuse animal meanwhile Pokemon are fight each other in arena like a cock fighting. :/

And he reply: oh yeah that's bad too.
saying like he don't gives a shit

[spring ginkgo]

lmao what a shocker

[bitter agate]

How dare you capture my likeness!! Dx

[peak folio]

Pause it while the post is still visible and you can see they refer to the beasts as Pals

[tranquil obsidian]

to be fair i keep calling Pokémon pals

what would they be called? picks?

[peak folio]

Even Mirabo Go had their own name for them

And that one literally was reskinned Palworld.

-# ||Even has the same feature gaps like no swim animations at the time||

[barren sierra]

We never got the heloween skins for Miraibo

Don't call them picks... I think that's something else

[barren sierra]

Yes, toothpicks

What did you think it was you old pervert

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sus-meme-kitten-suspicious-gif-1123663248067163006

[solid sun]

are you sure that wasn't before the humans were all fired and replaced by LLMs?

[bitter agate]

I think that's at least one racism

[solid sun]

probably a slur against Cowboys

[bitter agate]

No they were a European ppl

[solid sun]

there is no country in europa that has pick in the country name

[bitter agate]

That's cuz they were jypos

[barren sierra]

Also the word was "Pikey" and not "Picks"

[gloomy raven]

It was, these were humans complaining about Stellar Blade objectifying women (because apparently curvy women do not exist IRL) and accused Black Myth Wukong of discriminating against women because they didn't play past Chapter 2 so they never saw a female character

There were also some allegations about Black Myth Wukong studio harassing women in China or something like that, it was wild

[barren sierra]

I cant believe I have to teach a fellow European a slur smdh

[gloomy raven]

But it wouldn't surprise me if the LLMs start writing the same kind of article, because the LLMs are trained on the same Kotaku / EuroGamer garbage

I ain't euro trash

But I know all the slurs

[gloomy raven]

Now that Marathon is failing Paul Tassi and other games journalists are losing it

[night plume]

Pop in for a moment, learn slurs o.o

[gloomy raven]

lol... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLUs9ATZIAQ

[solid sun]

Slur against Pikemen....

probably used by Sword wielders

[solid sun]

i heard it's got a 20 hour oboarding process, that's not a good game

[unborn mauve]

people are into roblox gun in 3D?

[peak folio]

I don’t see anything remarkable about what’s going on with Marathon.

[bitter agate]

Whoops I was thinking of picts not picks... Pick away

[solid sun]

xenophobia yeah.

[peak folio]

Gamers seem obsessed with calling anything that mildly underperforms as Concord

[solid sun]

aren't pygmy small dehydrated human bodies?

[bitter agate]

What is wrong with being afraid of xenomorphs?

Lol they weren't pygmy

[solid sun]

no, that's a psyop by games media.
they want to create another hyperbole to paint regular gamers as bad.

[peak folio]

Idk I see what people are saying

[solid sun]

it's not the gamers fault that Highguard is a trash game.

[peak folio]

I get DMs about it from people who have no intention of playing it like daily, lol

[solid sun]

the developers put everything into trying to make money from their product, not deliver a good game.

[empty cliff]

Dont these mediocrap typewriters ever want whats true? Nah. Onoy slander.

[peak folio]

People bought the game on steam just to leave a bad review and refund

It’s an obsession

[solid sun]

highguard was free, but I couldn't play it because it had kernel level invasive anti cheat, which I couldn't even install

[empty cliff]

Tgeres always those who do hibgs just to hate. Like its life or death.

[bitter agate]

Who has the time...?

[solid sun]

so the amount of people that could've tried the game is not even close to what it could've been

[teal iron]

I was gonna say I thought marathon was doing fine

[bitter agate]

Lufa to death!

[solid sun]

you have a 2 hour refund window

[peak folio]

Highguard, while still not Concord, is still an extraordinary case study.

That one was actually interesting, I haven’t seen such an aggressive trajectory before.

[solid sun]

honestly, Concord has wasted way more money, imagine that 400 million or w/e being handed out to several indie studios instead.
The amount of time and actual work they could get done with that would be more valuable.

[peak folio]

Yeah, lol

[bitter agate]

Could it be a bot farm by the competition?

"influencers" bot farm for likes... Why not dislike the competition?

[peak folio]

The hateboner for that game was weird and it definitely moved the needle, but at the end of the day two million people tried the game and virtually none of them stuck.

So that game never had a chance.

[bitter agate]

I am 0% familiar with the game mentioned

[peak folio]

Highguard

[teal iron]

I mean people are gonna play a game if they like it it doesn't matter how much the social media tries to bash it

Otherwise Palworld would've failed, call of duty would be a long dead franchise, and Pokemon would be making good games

[peak folio]

That was enough exposure to get a reasonable following had people enjoyed it.

[solid sun]

no it was just a bad game and people just called it as it is.
Some more rude than others.
But the devs and media outlets just painted all criticism as a hate mob.

[bitter agate]

Make games great again!

[teal iron]

Nuance is always the first casualty

As soon as people get upset then having a nuanced opinion means you have a side chosen for you

[peak folio]

That’s my point, in the end its fate would have been the same.

[solid sun]

also the dislike of Marathon is justified, as they had to redo the stolen art that was used before, that's why the game had to be delayed.

[teal iron]

???

[solid sun]

did you forget about that?

[teal iron]

They fired the artist, redid the art, and even the person who had their work stolen said it was all good

If you're still upset about that incident then idk you need to learn to move on

[bitter agate]

That made me hate marathon before it even released. Not that I would have played it...

[solid sun]

I don't like the style of Marathon anyways, it's not a game I would ever bother playing.

[peak folio]

That artist is in the credits.

[solid sun]

it looks boring and overdone

[teal iron]

That's what I mean about nuance is the first casualty

The complexity of the situation is reduced to an almost infantile extreme such that it's more of an inkblot test than what it originally was

Because the guy who screams THEY STOLE ART THEY STOLE IT BAD BAD EVIL
Can get a lot more points across before anyone can explain what actually happened

And so instead of having a reasonable interaction people just throw the discombobulated pieces of reality in order to win arguments and validate their preconceived opinions over others

[peak folio]

There’s no way Sony is ever getting their money back from purchasing Bungie in the foreseeable future, but Marathon is no “Concord 3.”

[solid sun]

no

[barren sierra]

No its a slur used for gypysies,romas or what ever you call them there

[solid sun]

I just don't want to write 2k words just to explain what I don't like every time, so I build up things on top of another, I stagger them.

[solid sun]

I never heard anyone say that

[teal iron]

Since a lot of people have been taught that compromise is a weakness and empathy is for children, and that admitting fault is as much a moral failing as having the fault to begin with

They're taught that you must justify every opinion on some objective fact

[solid sun]

I don't have a reason to buy every game

[teal iron]

So no one feels they can just say "I don't like this"
It always has to be some bigger battle, always has to be moral grandstanding

[solid sun]

but I can give my opinion on any game

[barren sierra]

If I dont like a game i just dont buy it, Il call it ass and move on

[bitter agate]

You don't have the money to buy every game either

[teal iron]

People can't just say "I don't like Palworld" it has to be "Palworld stole ideas"

[barren sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/edge-worth-ace-attorney-phoenix-wright-shrug-what-gif-16631074

[solid sun]

that's what I wanted to write first

[bitter agate]

XD

[solid sun]

but reason fit more as it's a substitute for many things besides money, like time, or interest.

[teal iron]

Because I guess there's some idea that everyone should have the same taste, and so if you don't have some greater reason to not like something that other people like, then you are an outsider

Or something stupid like that

[bitter agate]

There's a sea of trash games... And plenty of hate to go around

[solid sun]

the game having used stolen assets doesn't mean you can't also not like it when it removed those.
both are things that can happen at the same time.
You can't just ignore one and call it slander when someone does mention it.

[solid sun]

I would play sea of thieves if they made the non-pvp mode the same as the pvp mode.

[teal iron]

Huge difference between 1 artist stealing and getting fired and some sinister plot by the whole company

Like do you think marathon is made by 1 guy or some kind of hive mind

[cobalt briar]

the fact that Bungie has a consistent problem with this says a lot

[solid sun]

the company didn't vet the art, it's fair to call that out.

[teal iron]

Corporations can often act like them but they are a composition of many people

[bitter agate]

Lol! That's what I thought in the first few hours of playing it... I don't think I ever even opened it up after the first night of playing it

[solid sun]

yeah, it's not the first time bungie was accused of stealing stuff

[teal iron]

And if they don't trust artists to do their job right the first time then they wouldn't hire them

So why would they waste time going through all the art and cross checking against what, the entire Internet and every offline art repository on earth?

Unreasonable expectations

This is literally exactly my point about it has to be a bigger battle

[solid sun]

my first experience after the tutorial was, getting out unburrying one treasure, turning it in, and my boat getting destroyed as I wanted to go back on, it. Tried to go to another region, and I couldn't even go onto my next boat because it was also firebombed in the spawn area.

I uninstalled and refunded it.

[cobalt briar]

meanwhile Call of Duty runs off Scott-free with AI art ripped from Studio Ghibli work

[solid sun]

unreasonable to expect more from a multi million dollar tripple A studio?

are you a freaking AAA shill?

[bitter agate]

My buddy wanted to play with me and after about the 3rd time we got owned I was basically done playing it

[solid sun]

it has been called out for it. But the kids and people hooked on that CoD drug can't leave it.

[cobalt briar]

It’s been called out for it but it’s a very small factor as to why it did so poorly

Black Ops 7 had so many disastrous design choices that caused it to tank

[barren sierra]

Id tell you but I haven't looked at cod since call of duty 4

And even that I maybe played 50 hours off

[teal iron]

And my side was chosen for me

It's almost like you're trying to demonstrate everything I just explained

[solid sun]

you should get of your high horse honestly

[teal iron]

Horses aren't real
I'm just on high

Big rock
I had to pull this sword out so I can stand on it

[bitter agate]

Can I get on my high horse for a moment to say that shooter games are the lowest common denominator of games

Also why is this horse high? Who gave it drugs!? And why didn't you share with Uncle Rusty?!

[solid sun]

shooters are the easiest to make games.
Pong was theoretically a shooter game.
So is Tennis, in theory.

Shooter games are just Tennis where you shoot high velocity balls that can't be retorted.

[cobalt briar]

I’ll show you a high horse

Suddenly I'm craving IKEA meatballs

[solid sun]

[barren sierra]

I dont actually like the meatballs , the sauce is what Im after

The meatballs are kinda bland, poorly seasoned, too coarsely ground up

But because its so coarse is what lets the sauce get it nicely coated and drippy

[solid sun]

you don't like it when your balls are feeling coarse?

Valve are being sued for “hosting” unlicensed music by a British music copyright collective

PRS for Music alleges the company never obtained a license covering musical works since Steam's launch in 2003

vxTwitter / fixvx · Mar 11, 2026, 1:48 PM

📰 https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/valve-sued-over-steam-music-use-tied-to-grand-theft-auto-and-other-major-franchises-3333251/

PRS for Music says titles distributed on Steam feature music written by its members, including major franchises such as EA Sports FC, Forza Horizon, and Grand Theft Auto.

So sue the publisher… ? 😆

This nonsense is coordinated, let’s be real here.

[mental summit]

Gay Ben was not on the island

[peak folio]

Soon the media will go full on character assassination on him

[mental summit]

You can remove the character part

[peak folio]

They’ll try that as soon as they’ve brainwashed enough people into believing it’s righteous.

[solid sun]

that music label thing is actually quite disgusting, suing random people for singing while stacking shelves because "did not have a license for doing a public performance" or suing some car company for having the radio on and the radio being potentially audible by customers

[gloomy raven]

Agree, I think it's gonna get tossed

[leaden nova]

It's one thing if they just want the companion soundtracks removed, which by the way every publisher that released the games in question would need to be involved in, it's another to want the entire game removed just because of the music (which I don't think they have grounds for)

[solid sun]

that's one reason some games get removed from the stores to begin with, because the publisher doesn't want to renew contracts for cars/weapon/music licenses

[peak folio]

Worse than when your speedtree license expires and your game becomes a barren wasteland

[leaden nova]

Cars and weapons I get, but I'd thought music in a game became part of the work/not separate from it upon release based on the use license. Needing a perpetual contract just to use certain music sounds insane 💀

I've seen it in action before though, some artists that are famous enough have perpetuals like that, for example original Lilo & Stitch had to remove most Elvis songs except for a couple in the movie itself. Credits songs got replaced fast

[solid sun]

radios have to pay each time a song plays or something like that, I don't actually know how it works.

[peak folio]

It’s a pain in the butt, but yeah.

[cobalt briar]

this company is absolutely psychotic just for the record

Prob some edgy western teenager nobody overseas talks like that, or even cares about that stuff

I didn’t think Palworld was a real game for the longest time but even the Unity trailer had gameplay shots in it.

Crypto mining

[barren sierra]

Is it real, is it fake, is it a fraud, is it a placeholder, who fuckin knows

But something is there

[peak folio]

A Steam page means they’re at least convinced they’re seriously making a game.

[cloud plover]

Guys obviously it's Palworld 2

[barren sierra]

Im still hoping its just PP preparing the most expensive april fools

Then the game just turns into "more than pals" in launch

This happens when you try to launch any game you don't own.
