Hang on, so I need to upload government ID and/or a selfie in order to access “adult material” in order to protect kids but Meta trying to bait men with pictures of girls under the age of consent is perfectly fine? What the fuck is happening?

Valve should absolutely be doing more to fix their mistake.
- Comment on Valve apologizes for ruining a Steam game's launch 1 week ago:
That’s definitely not the norm for indie devs on Steam. They are heavily reliant on wishlists because it automatically notifies when the game is released and on sale; it’s why the call to action for indie games is to wishlist it.

Shocked that they haven’t already had ads.
Has anyone used a smart fridge? I’m struggling to think of what features I’d actually end up using.

SOLD!
(Dare I even ask what happened?)

I love playing big, involved boardgames and their designs are fantastic but trying to teach it to someone and do all of the admin of resolving moves can make it feel like a chore.
For example, I’ve played Nemesis precisely once. It took HOURS to get through because of learning all the rules etc. Loved it, love the design, would be freakin’ perfect if there was a digital version which automates the faff.

- Comment on Ethical alternatives to Spotify 2 weeks ago:
Depends on where you live, I suppose. Where I am, you can’t have someone hook up their phone to a bluetooth speaking to play the world’s most tame Spotify playlist but they will absolutely have the radio on at all times.

“This is Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metallica. This month he was planning to install a gold plated shark tank bar beside his pool, but thanks to people like you downloading his music, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it.”
- Comment on Ethical alternatives to Spotify 2 weeks ago:
But seriously, why do they even bother with labels then?
Labels provide the upfront capital for things like recording studios, distribution (traditionally, less so nowadays when there’s not a physical product to distribute), publicity, marketing, live shows, etc in exchange for a percentage and usually with a contract that the artist will make X many albums with them.
Although things are slowly changing, you are unlikely to be doing huge tours at sold out venues and getting your songs played on the radio unless you have the substantial money to do so in the first place.

It’s unacceptable for games from big studios to be released in such a shoddy state. At this point, the best bet as a consumer is to wait 3 months before buying anything.

Picked up the Indiana Jones game which is actually pretty fun. Also been trying to get into playing Total War: Warhammer 2 but a lot of it feels like an exercise in frustration (I might just not be very good at it).

- Comment on Is Hollow Knight Silksong's 'cheap' price a problem for other indie games? Devs and publishers weigh up its impact | Eurogamer 3 weeks ago:
This is why I keep asking people how to find good indie games which have flown under the radar because they haven’t gone viral but it genuinely feels like the people who seemingly do this regularly are either gatekeeping how they find them or are just full of shit.
