  do you have the same energy towards steam, who capitulated earlier, harder, and hasn’t seemed to be interested in negotiating, despite being much much more powerful and influent than itch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something to think about⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  its that way to mimic the old “slide to unlock” thing on iphones

  which hasn’t been a thing since ios 10, but, whatever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  the problem is the payment processors, not itch

  unless you’re fine with crypto, sending cheques by mail or having everything be free, your new platform is gonna get the same problems once it’s big enough to be noticed

  yea, i said 13 to mirror the post, but you’re right

  being a girl is scary cuz the moment you turn 13, creepy men are ogling at you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
  mention of sexual assault

  not OP, but for example the first game collective shout went after a few months ago (“no mercy”) was explicitly a game about raping women to make them obedient. this is bad not because its NSFW, it’s bad because it’s rape apologia, which makes it a misogynistic hate game. to me, it’s not much different than “chad vs the gay nazis”, another hate game that was released around the same time and was also quickly delisted. I wouldn’t be surprised if other games that just got delisted were as bad as no mercy. but also, the blanket banning of anything NSFW (or even just kinky) sets a terrible precedent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  microsoft: we just fired entire studios that we bought recently. we are building a master collection of IPs to do nothing with other than passively profit off of them forever using game pass. part of this master plan is to cause large instability in the video game industry. also we are quite literally helping a genocide.

  lemmy: oh. that’s kinda shitty but I liked oblivion remastered :)

  nintendo: we made our game 80$

  lemmy: if anyone even thinks about liking some of your stuff they should be burned at the stake.

  <srs> obviously im exaggerating to make a point, and no if you ask I don’t like nintendo. fuck them. but I think the reaction here is a bit disproportionate. a company could do all the evil in the world but as long as they don’t touch the sacrosanct consumer, it’s all good in the eyes of a gamer! </srs>

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LIMBO and INSIDE are being delisted from GOG on July 17th⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  GOG and itch’s approach to preservation is always gonna be limited by legality, you can’t keep a game on your platform if the publisher requests its delisting; ofc piracy isn’t constrained by this, so it’s inherently better at preservation

  at least, since the games on there don’t have DRM, once you have them you keep them (and with GOG, you can also download offline installers that you can reuse on any computer you want). they make piracy way easier in that way, because pirates don’t even need to repack

  you forgot:

  • making it mandatory for any 3rd party game to stay exclusive to the NES for 2 years, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
  • suing to make cheating devices like the game genie illegal (they failed, thankfully)
  • suing to make game rentals illegal (they also failed)
  • introducing the lockout chip, normalizing walled gardens on consoles, as well as region locking

  Screenshot of a Twitter post by @kaiklops: “Drew like a dark, fucked up version of the hamburger helper mascot haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane Imao”. Attached to the post are two images. One is a drawing of the hamburger helper mascot (a gloved hand with a cartoon face), and the other is a cruder drawing of the same mascot, now with frowning eyes and pointy teeth.

  well, the original is this, i think its been a shitpost all along

  thank you for your posts, it’s always a great time to read them!

  i love that you share cool fan projects too! it’s inspiring me to make a physical collection for my GOG games, including actual DVDs with the games installers on them. most of the physical collection projects i see seem to only do the box, but i want to go all in!

  take care 🧡

  its also on phone keyboards, at least on iphone, you can hold the dash key and select the long dash: —

  same for the ellipsis, which a lot of people cite as a proof something was written with AI, but iphones (and other phones too, probably) insert them automatically when you type 3 dots…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks Alberta. Great Measles Outbreak you got there⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  part of the reason is alberta seats entirely on treaty territory, so it doesn’t get to leave without a say from Indigenous peoples (at least in theory, in practice we know too well that canada wipes its ass with treaties)

  and the new alberta would’ve certainly been a strongly reactionary state, so it’s important to stand in solidarity with albertan leftists and oppose its creation

  same reasons most leftists oppose quebec independence
