- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 1 week ago:
The bigger, bigger context of the quote is that this game was initially supposed to be released in 2014, and now 2026 is looking unlikely.
And yes, im just talking about squadron 42, the spinoff fps of the even later game that is even farther from release, Star citizen.

A clone of his cousin, then.
We should toss superboy in there, get Superman's/luthors clone involved.
Call it half of a half incest.
- Comment on Ding ding ditch is punishable by death apparently 2 weeks ago:
The meme is referring to this murder of an 11 year old who just rang a doorbell and ran. The murderer was lying in wait in his yard with a gun, and shot the kid as he ran out of the yard.
The kid ran for another block or so with his friend and then died.

The guy that immediately cancelled the long running pride event minutes after starting there?
Sure, sure. He just wants to let things be.
- Comment on An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks 2 weeks ago:
They are already using this or worse. Theil's Palintir is already doing tons of nasty data analytics. Ads in luck Palmer's weapons/surveillance company Anduril, and you have the data input and attack payloads ready to go, all from Chud industries.

Seems like you would be okay if you took them in any order, but man would you be pissed in 60 trillion years if they were wrong off the bat.

They will undoubtedly start offering their own Ai based "anti ai" security product shortly.

He came out and said him and Trump are solid. I think he performed at his inauguration too.
- Comment on The original Splitgate will live on with player-hosted matches 4 weeks ago:
Im glad for it, but it still feels PR puffery from the "make FPS great again" company bankrolled by turbotax.
- Comment on Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Pre-Order Trailer 4 weeks ago:
People said good shit about cyberpunk 2077 at release. Take games journalism with a grain of salt. Even the very largely honest ones generally only get the first "X minutes" to demo, which designers pack impressive moments into for the press, but then the rest of the game is half baked or a slog.
No preorders is always right.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 4 weeks ago:
Hes canonically also said he hates cops that worship him because they are supposed to be the vanguard of law and order, not murderers. I think he then went on to kill those cops, to really just nail the whole point home.
Surprise surprise, it didn't take.
- Comment on Lies of p has been really good! 4 weeks ago:
It was a free update that came out at the same time as the DLC, but yup they lined right up.
- Comment on Lies of p has been really good! 4 weeks ago:
Have to give lies of P lots of credit for adding "on the fly" difficulty settings. Most souls-likes wont budge here, likely due to the rabid fan pushback, but it is someone who dislikes the punishing genre mechanics but likes the game itself, it made the game buyable for me.

Blood, trash and Tarantino? "From dusk to dawn" called, and it wants to fuck pulp fictions feet.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 5 weeks ago:
The huge win in digital for them was killing the resell market.
No used games means no competition from previous owners. Prices can stay at $60/70/80 forever without any user market forcing prices down.
Every media vendor wants digital only to cut production costs, but it's really to own the market. Consoles did exactly that for decades. The shift to subscriptipns for not only online at all but also to "sont own games, just gove us a monthly oart of your invome forever" was them pushing this advsntage to its maximum conclusion.
Only now, with falling sales and falling interest due to "quick media" like tiktok/instagram/etc, is microsoft giving up on its console moat and sharing all games across devices. Only a loss of relevance as an entertainment medium is forcing them to open the market up again.
- Comment on Steam Beta: Wider store pages; Video support for written game descriptions 5 weeks ago:
Looks like you still can't adjust the font size with either control+up or directly in the settings.
Steam: the billion dollar storefront failing to implement an insanely common accessibility feature browers have had for 20 yrs.

Apparently the antonym of clanker is "wireborn." It's bouncing around the "ai relationship" forums.

CATL first uses for the tech are literally car batteries. Your info looks to be outdated.

- Comment on F.B.I. Is Asked to Arrest Texas Democrats in Battle Over House Seats 1 month ago:
This is a very serious gerrymander as well. The current gpuse seats in texas are 65% GOP to 35% DNC. This would push them to 75% GOP and 25% DNC.
Do you know how texas votes statewide? 51.6% GOP. Yea, texas has is already gerrymandered to fuck, they just want to fuck it way, way more.
Good on the dems to fight for actual representation.

I dont know the article, but looking for work generally helps me when im absolutely fucking done with my job.
Yes, its more work, but it makes lal the "huge and terrible" problems of your main job seem smaller, isolated, even stupid. They matter less because you dont have to depend on that job any more, so you actually do get better mentally.
- Comment on Splitgate 2 is ‘unlaunching’ as developer 1047 Games cuts staff | VGC 1 month ago:
The ceo is the son of one of the founders of Inuit, the turbotax/quickbooks company. Hes even on the slipgates board.
The owners are pure nepo and will never face any consequence for failure. Its pretty easy why they dont care about killing the company and fucking the employees.

Those 8.5 billion are producing all of that 100%. If you had 4 billion, it would be 45%.
- Comment on Grim and joyful deckbuilder The Royal Writ is coming for genre king Balatro next month 1 month ago:
Its definitely not a Balatro killer, but its got a great gameplay loop, entertaining story, and looks to have real longevity.
Id say its closer to a whimsical slay the spire, personally.
There is a steam demo if anyone wants to check it out.
