It worked for me. I had 78 new games played last year alone, and a good amount of them were ones I’ve had in my library for a while.

This looks like a blast! Makes me want a VR headset just for this lol.

I saved them from a landfill! They smell kinda weird though.

I take it as more of an observation and use it to be more mindful of what I buy, the services I use, etc. The reality is that we don’t know what happens behind the scenes with so much of this stuff, but we can still be conscious of it and use it as an opportunity to reduce clutter in our lives.

Agreed. If I haphazardly ditched services based on the opinions of tech folks, I’d be reduced to using a pair of cans attached with string and nothing else.

Yeah, I think (hope?) we will find that his opinion is not echoed among them.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and that applies to tech. I pay for Proton and this is disappointing af but not shocking. Corporations and wannabe billionaires always fold to fascism.

Gonna start looking around at alternative email services to consider but I use my Proton email everywhere, so switching away is going to suck.

Quake 3 in VR?! That’s interesting.

Yeah, that’s how I hope this plays out. I’d love to see a fork take off with a healthier community.

Anyone politicizing the fires from the comfort of a place that isn’t burning to the ground, should immediately shut the fuck up.

WordPress is dead. Those contributors have all been there for ages. Without them behind it and Matt continuing to shit where he eats, there’s no coming back. It will stick around because it runs a metric fuckton of the web, but I foresee it basically being in a state of super unexciting maintenance mode.

The article says that you do indeed get punished for leaving.

I too yearn for the Quake 3 days.

There is absolutely no reason to buy a Ubisoft game anymore, or from any large studio that is trying to appease shareholders first and foremost. They aren’t making games for you to have fun with; they’re making games to extract as much money from you as possible. Instead of giving you fun quests and characters, they are behind the scenes trying to figure out how to manipulate you. Fuck that noise. The last game I paid full AAA price for was Elden Ring because From deserves my money.

This dude is burning down his entire city just to prove some vapid point.

Had a boss years ago here in the US that told me I had used up all of my PTO during a time of mourning and funeral preparation. My dad was dying/died during that time and the boss was telling me this because I had to take 2 weeks off to spend time with my dying father who was in Hospice with cancer, as well as arrange the funeral and care for my mom.

The empire can’t burn fast enough.

He once told a friend he wanted to buy an old church. Puzzled, his friend asked what for, assuming he meant to live in like some weird rich recluse might do. Nope. He wanted to buy it so he could give sermons to people about his ideologies.

Ugh, thanks. Capitalism always sides with the fascists.

What’s the context of the “coward” text? The original said “pray” and it was about Apple making itself relevant again and not folding.

They pushed these changes on Christmas Day.
