Just read the article dummy, it’s not clickbaity at all and is a thoughtful exploration of the issue

Oh she’s definitely a transphobe.

If only 99% of the discussion around this wasn’t absolute brainworms awful shit.

Honestly, that bit comes off almost like an insightful joke about how washed-up aging comedians try to stay relevant in 2023. “No one is laughing at my jokes. Maybe I should try saying hateful bullshit about trans people and liberals.” Just replace Jerry with Dave Chapelle or Louis CK and you’ve practically got a…

See, that’s where I thought this article was going and that was the reason for the firing, that the manager failed to schedule more than one person or wasn’t present during work hours, therefore leaving the store open to robbery (not that that would stop any idiot robbers).

Clearly I’ve never worked at a Gamestop and…

This hurts to read, I was classified into remission for the 2nd time of my life just a week ago. Reading someone who lost their war with it hurts, my 2nd battle with it was .. close.. to put mildly. Statistically I know it’ll probably win the war against me eventually.. but I’m kinda hoping I get taken out by anything…

Being disliked because of your personality, views and actions isn’t cancel culture, it’s just people not liking you or your work.

Unending exponential growth/returns is impossible and inevitably the time will come where those expectations can no longer be met by reality and it all comes crashing down.

Since when should the solution to a company doing something shitty be “get used to it”? It doesn’t have to be this way, y’know. You could organize and fight for actual change instead of continuing to go without credit.

Americans being baffled by government funding of arts is really funny to me.

Seems reasonably typical for Arts grants, honestly. They go to all sorts of off-the-wall things.

But it still feels incredibly odd that the Canadian government would be funding a project that is explicitly in favor of a world where liberal democracy doesn’t exist (and is in fact undesirable)

Congratulations Zack! Don’t think nobody reads through these slideshows.

I liked it.  

By Microsoft’s own admission in this whole fiasco, the majority of CoD players are on Playstation. IIRC, the most recent CoD has a player base on PS4/5 of about 45%, while Xbox and PC are both under 30% each.

Never compare what you know in your small circle to the rest of the world.

The issue with AI art is that it won’t go away, we simply can’t boycott it, it’s trivial to set up Stable Diffusion locally, and that cat isn’t going back in it’s bag.

I feel like people don’t understand what “indie” means. “Indie” is short for “independent.” That means the game was developed without any publisher involvement. Of the games listed, Vampire Survivors and Sifu are the only ones that were actually “indie.”

Plenty of people don’t want to look into the night sky and see commercialized visual pollution, dipshit
