It’s not legally binding.

It’s not a big deal, but it is funny how it happened. Never heard of any of these people or the company before, so I have nothing invested in this.

- Comment on Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewers 5 days ago:
That’s all. His chuds look for validation by finding a big streamer to regurgitate their views. Doesn’t matter that his only life experience is rotting in front of WoW. Doesn’t matter that he used the sunlight hitting a dead rat as an alarm clock. Doesn’t matter that his teeth bleed.

It’s a popular streamer game, which means long gaps where nothing happens.

I think Croteam has been able to have moderate success over the years, but being based in Eastern Europe might make them insulated from issues. Devolver only recently bought them, but they seem to be one of the few good publishers. I at least didn’t see their name on the Video Games Europe member list that’s opposed to SKGs.

Bush’s war debts.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 1 week ago:
They should have researched things or at least not dismiss anyone who voices any skepticism. I had my free education wasted because no one wanted to take me seriously. At least I get to say I TOLD YOU SO. These people are more then just misinformed. They’re cult members who viciously protect their misinformation.

Not really, but there’s not much being left for the children of boomers to inherit.

That generation was heavily exposed to leaded gasoline.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 1 week ago:
Guess what that generation bought into and voted for fot decades.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 1 week ago:
Surprise surprise, you only inherit a bunch of debt because that generation loved by “you can’t take it with you”.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 week ago:
This, but why does it need a firmware update and why couldn’t it be setup to update on shutdown rather then power on?

Major game publishers aren’t known for their good ideas.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the game industry isn’t also using bots to inflate the numbers to make people procrastinating not feel the need to contribute and make the petition look less valid.

Hedon, Cultic, Zortch I think were all solo devs.

Can confirm, this happened to me the other day.

We have had that exact model for decades. Hosting companies use to and probably still offer rack space for arena shooters. The main company managed the master server, which was just a listing of IP addresses, but there were only ever a few official game servers with defaults loaded.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 week ago:
Doom, Build Engine games, Marathon. I can still play those games, but even if Bungie faux-Marathon ever comes out, I wouldn’t be able to play it after a few years. One of the biggest turnoffs to these As-A-Service games is time limited events. I don’t want to feel nostalgic for something and not be able to replay it. Between the discussions on Hell Divers II events and the Sony fuckary, I’m glad I passed. Fuck, I remember my hype for Hawken dying when I saw it was going to be f2p.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 week ago:
protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist Nanny State BS. If someone runs a private server, it’s their responsibility to moderate it.
and would leave rights holders liable. No it wouldn’t.
In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only Unreal Tournament games are online or multiplayer only games. Even though Epic shut down the master servers, you can modify the .ini file to redirect to a community server. “Online-only” translates to predatory monetization models.

Egotism often translates to charisma and confidence, but falls apart eventually.
Also, a reminder, the “Con” in con-artist is short for confidence.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 1 week ago:
But in short, PirateSoftware had a fall from grace for narcissism and with his previous opposition to the petition, became a “villain” to unite against.

Shows how much I care about the output of either company.

These people think all compassion and “wokeness” is preformative because everything in their lives is preformative.

Well, the Gravemind is definitely not dead as it’s mind resides in either the Domain or an adjacent dimension. Hell, the Flood aren’t even sterilized from known infection locations. But like you said, the factions all have a clear purpose. Even the Flood in Halo 1, before the Gravemind was even introduced, were working towards a goal though consuming the minds of the species it encountered and fixing the Covenant ship. Hearing Cortana say that the Flood were fixing that ship was chilling. Zombies repairing an FLT capable spacecraft?!
A lot of my disappointment in 5 was how irrelevant and misleading the advertisement was. Nothing even remotely similar to this happens in the game. Hunt the Truth had so much better writing then 5 did. Let those people write a spinoff game.

That’s another debate, but if a company ever closed and no one claimed the IP, it could be released early.

Halo 4 was mostly good, especially the story, but they listened too closely to the complainers and scrapped the story line. They haven’t been able to commit to villain. Didact? Killed off at the end of 4, and then resurrected and killed off in a comic. Jul 'Mdama? Introduced and explored in Spartan Ops and books/comics. Killed off in the beginning of Halo 5. Cortana? Resurrected/Introduced as a villain in Halo 5 and killed off between 5 and 6(Infinite). Atriox? Introduced in Halo Wars 2 “killed off” between the opening cutscene of Halo 6 and the first level. Escharum(Atriox lite), Introduced in 6 and killed off in 6. Harbinger? Introduced in 6 and killed off in 6. But wait, Atriox isn’t really dead and he’s totally going to come back in Halo 7 and be a long term villain. For real this time.

I still kinda want Microsoft to by Activision Blizzard, but not for altruistic reasons.
