Yeah, hard agree with what they’re saying and like the fact that they’re delaying prison architect 2 in light of that.
Lately and because some early access games have caught my eye, I’ve been thinking about how I don’t have as much time for gaming and want the complete experience right away. If I play a game before it’s fixed or before all the content is out, most likely I’ll never play the game at it’s best because I’ve moved on already.
It’s not actually about dating.
It’s actually a horror game hiding in a dating sim. Things get more and more bizarre as you play and discover one of the characters has become self aware, eventually involving the player needing to edit files on their computer and such to progress. Not revolutionary but was mind blowing at the time. The Game Grumps did a fun play through.
I feel like they’ve had this for a while but maybe the specific situation is different. I might also be getting confused with Tapas.
Years ago I was reading “Extreme Dog Owner” while it was being released and was blocked out of latest episodes. So when the artist stopped the series it took a while before I realized the last few episodes would never get unlocked for me. Sounds like the same situation? Minus the huge piracy warnings.
Luckily I had a friend who bought it already then just read on their device.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!
I know nothing about guns but I wanna know, what happens if he starts firing that thing?
Somehow suddenly remembering that feeling of discovering the head of Team Rocket, that I’d been fighting all this time, was the final gym leader and having my little mind blown.
Just in brief, ignoring some history and so on, Gaza has been under Israeli occupation for a while now, controlling essentially everything that goes in and out, including people. Hamas gained power there, and legit, the Israeli government has given resources to Hamas to keep them going, supposedly as an excuse to keep their thumb on the Palestinian population.
A lot of people supported the creation of a Jewish state coming out of WWII and the holocaust, but currently, and especially because of just how hard the Israeli military is going now, it’s becoming impossible to not see how much the Israeli government just wants to take control of all the land and wipe out the Palestinian people.
Of course, there’s more going on, and some people might disagree with my simplification, but I think this is as good of a simple explanation of at least my understanding trying to follow what’s been going on in the region since the early aughts.
This is an official government chat bot apparently.
From the article:
The announcement touted the ChatBot as a way for business owners to “save … time and money by instantly providing them with actionable and trusted information from more than 2,000 NYC Business webpages and articles on topics such as compliance with codes and regulations, available business incentives, and best practices to avoid violations and fines.”
After the case where courts ruled in favor of a person who got false information from a chat bot about bereavement fare for flight tickets, you now have a case for setting up a cannibalism business and suing when they try to stop you
It literally became one of my favorite Ghibli movies for this very reason, I hadn’t even heard about it before I watched it, but it’s absolutely amazing
At this point it’s an internet inside joke, and like any niche inside joke, there’s a bit of a rush when you recognize it, that you’re in on something special. In the beginning it was mostly just mocking the absurd sudden tone shift in the original Ctrl+Alt+Del comic but like a lot of memes it seems to have evolved and now the fun is creating and finding the loss pattern in unique and different ways.
I like it, it’s fun
Having lived in two of those three countries, a lot of the internet is randomly censored. Browsing in Malaysia I’d sometimes get some kind of government page popping up with no idea why the site I was trying to visit was blocked (blocked porn sites are a given in both Malaysia and Indonesia but honestly, just random sites kept showing up blocked). Indonesia blocked tumblr for a good long while, and I’m pretty sure Reddit still is. Plus in Indonesia, I really don’t trust ISPs to keep my data safe, intrusive ads are everywhere to the point I’ve blocked SMSs from any number I don’t know because the moment I got an Indonesian SIM my phone started blowing up with ads.
Truth. I was genuinely angry seeing how Spotify kept trying to buy up everything podcast related. Felt like I was screaming into the void about how platform exclusive podcasts are antithetical to the free and open nature of podcasts. I hope their billions of dollars invested into podcasts continue to bite them in the butts.
Somehow I think Podcasts will survive enshittification. The basis is just RSS and file hosting, so at its core, it’s possible to create and distribute podcasts without huge capital investment. There’s always gonna be some people trying to get their voices out and Podcasts still seems to be the easiest way to do that so until some better method comes out, podcasts will live on.
If you’re talking about Podcast networks, streaming services, ad networks, then yeah, those might face some kind of enshittification and destruction, but no matter what, I’m pretty confident some good podcasts, and some good ways to listen to them, will stick around.
Exciting to hear there won’t be any kind of pass and such but am worried mostly on what might be lost from the single player campaign if multiplayer is used as the main selling point.
If multiplayer is more of a separate sandbox mode or something similar then I can easily imagine this working, but I’m wary of narrative games that are optimized for multiplayer. Easy to feel like you’re losing out by not playing with friends for the whole thing and for me personally, I enjoy the ability to play these kinds of games at my pace which is harder to do co-op.
I used to sail the seas like freakin Luffy, but Netflix and Steam (plus becoming a wage earning adult) got me on the straight and narrow for a good long while. Then when all the different services started to compete I started dipping my toes in the water again with some sense of guilt. But after various struggles getting Netflix running in different locations I frequent and my parents not being able to use my account anymore, I have no shame flying the Jolly Roger.
There’s a decent Legend of Korra game by Platinum. Simple, short beat-em-up in the style of something like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta
I believe the joke is calling Apple old fashioned for still sticking to a proprietary cable and/or calling proprietary cables old-fashioned in general. But also, Apple will be switching the iPhone cables to USB-C next gen iirc, so maybe it’s also old fashioned that way?
Didn’t realize this was happening right now! Thanks for sharing.
Nice clean launch (so far 🤞), can’t wait to see what kind of data it collects. Been hearing for years that Europa has the potential for life and stuff, wonder what Clipper will be able to tell us about that
