It’s so they can track you better. If you’re in the US and using a Chromium based browser, so long as you don’t view “adult content” they usually don’t pop this up. But they can’t track in Firefox, and because of GDPR, they can’t track logged-out users in the EU, so it’s all about the money. I use Vivaldi and a VPN to watch youtube, works mostly fine.

Lootbox gambling is a cancer…extra cancer points for aiming it at kids…and wow, that revenue split is insane, no wonder Roblox is such a rich, publicly traded company. Sigh.

Anyone interested in this should really read Ratf**ked, it goes all into how a couple of dudes realized they could use the 2010 census to remake America for a tiny fraction the cost of what a party normally spends on one presidential election. It’s like a plot straight out of a movie.

What the heck. Half a billion in microtransactions for a game that (according to this article) sounds like a real turd of a user experience. I loved GTA 3 and Vice City back in the day…I got GTA 4 in a Humble Bundle, haven’t spent much time with it yet. Anyone know if it’s a decent experience for a solo, offline, lootbox-free experience?

As an old person who only kinda knew that lootboxes exist, this series was a huge eye opener to the insane amount of money and industry that has emerged around them. 10/10 would recommend to my fellow olds.
Now to head back to Bioshock where the only cost to looting boxes is that I might get attacked by a splicer.

Being mad about this instead of Dave Coulier “dating” Alanis Morisette when he was in his 30s and she was 17 is like being mad at Obama about wearing a tan suit and not all the drone bombings or mass-deportations.
We’re bad at picking what to be pissed about.

NGL, I haven’t liked any of his dips back into the Jay & Silent Bob world in years, but I’m still going to watch it. I guess I’m like the people that keep watching Fast & Furious movies for inexplicable reasons.

Thanks for the assist. I was pretty close. Yeah, I guess my Zorin arse is Ben Stiller.

Who is the dude in all the user-friendly distros? Kind of looks like Tom Cruise’s stunt man.

€10 may not be much, but as a broke gamedev student, I’m really hoping this Unity exodus is just the boost Godot needs to become more competitive with Unity.
