- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 4 days ago:
It wasn’t Itch.io’s fault, but the fact that payment processing has been globally monopolized and can force it’s own arbitrary will on anyone without recourse.
Blame Visa and MasterCard and the christofascist scum from Collective Shout.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
Steam has no power. They are beholden to a very particular monopoly that can get away with anything it wants and is currently being manipulated by unethical evangelical fascists.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 5 days ago:
Moral judgement or suppression of fiction/artistic expression is deeply and profoundly unethical. How you or I or anyone else feels about something that isn’t “real” is inconsequential. If you allow any line to be crossed in this, then every line can and will be crossed.

Julian LeFay, creator of The Elder Scrolls, died of cancer yesterday. He also deserves to be remembered.

I’ve lived through that entire journey. I still don’t trust the printer, though.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s been evolving quite a bit, though it has stalled out the last few months. The developer recently wrote a blog that the next update will be enormous as it reworks almost everything in the game, hence the lack of incremental updates lately.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
There are alternatives like Manor Lords that can scratch that itch. Ones that aren’t by a predatory, anti-consumer company and aren’t infected with Denuvo malware.
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 1 week ago:
Waning interest in Ubisoft. Everything they touch is painfully generic and uninteresting. But sure, blame the consumers for your lack of vision, passion, and technical acumen. See how that pays off, Yves.
- Comment on If you've given up on Civilization 7, Civ 6 is free with all DLC expansions for a limited time on Epic Games Store 1 week ago:
Civ 7 shipped with Denuvo malware. No matter what they may eventually do with it, it’s not worth touching. They’ve shown how much contempt they have for customers and that’s all that matters.
- Comment on The night water 1 week ago:
That’s too close to accurate for an RFK hot take.
It’s because water absorbs gas from the air, especially at warmer temperatures. Since the uncovered cup of water shares space with people, who exhale carbon dioxide, it’s the carbon dioxide, increased acidity, and other absorbed gasses you taste. Exhaled carbon dioxide is breath leaving the body. So, ghosts.

Lies. Millennials don’t have mortgages because they can’t afford homes.
- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition is free to claim on Epic 1 week ago:
It’s still infected with Denuvo malware, so even if the gameplay weren’t a disaster the answer would still be “no.”
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 weeks ago:
You appear to be conflating Capitalism with the concept of free markets. They are wholly different and distinct concepts, regardless of what Capitalism’s propagandists would like everyone to believe.
Capitalism, being an economic dogma that worships private ownership and relentless pursuit and hoarding of wealth, actively incentivizes behavior that destroys free markets: trusts, monopolies, oligopolies, regulatory capture, sabotage, patents, union busting, mergers and acquisitions, financialization, and more, gradually eroding any free market until it no longer meaningfully exists.

The only thing this does is punish everyone and implement more surveillance.
Tories: Precisely.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 weeks ago:
One of the tenants of capitalism is that you, the consumer, should demand more-for-less
Oh dear, that was never a tenet of capitalism. Capitalism has only one tenet: amass as much capital as possible at all costs. Literally anything goes, including and especially capturing and controlling markets by stifling competition.

This is a good policy. They destroy everything they touch, anyway, including their acquired studios.

The only Fallout games worth playing.

Another part of it is that if they discontinue support, they can’t stop the community from creating their own server software.
There are so many ways to approach this. The point is ensuring consumers retain the right to keep using what they purchased, even if they have to support it themselves.

I believe you have proved my point.

It has a negative connotation only for nazis and racists. For everyone else it has a clear, well defined meaning. Anyone who uses it as pejorative is a racist, nazi propagandist.

If you look at their comment history, this person is an American MAGA nazi. It’s best to block them and move on.
- Comment on Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation 3 weeks ago:
“It’s okay for corporations to steal a little bit. As a treat.”
- Comment on Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation 3 weeks ago:
A license is not owned, it is granted. A license is effectively a rental or lease. The words “buy”, “purchase”, etc are incompatible with the concept of licensing. If a thing is sold using words or terminology that imply ownership, then it is owned.
I am not talking about legalities, I am talking about ethics. Laws have been carefully designed to enable and protect corporate theft. Implying a sale while not conveying ownership is theft. Taking measures to ensure consumers cannot own the things they understand they have purchased it theft. Theft is theft and defending it is also unethical.
- Comment on US Politicians praying inside the House of Representatives 3 weeks ago:
You conflated the way the website displays content (literal versus paraphrase translations) with the translations themselves (you literally painted the paraphrase translation as “fan fiction”). I clearly explained how the different translations work, that the content itself is the same for all available translations, and why the translations are likely to be displayed differently. Additionally, the website is freely accessible and confirming these things takes seconds.
But you appear to have ignored everything I said and then doubled down on your own bizarre take. And again, this is all easily verifiable in seconds on the website you, yourself, mentioned.
It doesn’t really matter whether you are trying to be deceptive on purpose or whether you are simply clueless and obstinate. Doubling down on a bad take after getting something so wrong makes for some potent fremdschämen.
- Comment on Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation 3 weeks ago:
It exists solely to rob consumers of ownership of their purchases. It can, has, and will continue to result in people losing access to products they have paid for and to which have every right. Performance impact is beside the point. DRM is theft and Denuvo is the worst.
