…I should’ve added the /s, come to think of it.

When are Denuvo games coming to GOG and itch.io? We feel extremely left out guys.

He’s such a cute goober!

I counted up to 1499 days, but, huh.

“Do you like it there?” The one on the right says.

This JavaScript bundle apparently only runs on Chrome browsers. What do they do with Firefox or other browsers?

I live in a dictatorship that toppled dictators before, and this is the current permeating thought. Not “we’ll get rid of him” but rather “let’s wait it out.” And so you wait out a decade, two, three… Maybe it is over and the plans were arranged so his successor would take over instead.

Your thought is one of a people under a brutal dictatorship. So much for the championed first and second amendments, eh?

Am I going to have to wait 24 hours to open apps I already have installed? Will they all get auto-removed and need reinstalling?

At the start I would have thought this was possible but pretty ridiculous. Why would Google do any of that?

But it turns out this was not ridiculous, as Play Protect literally just removed Ankiconnect, an app I already had installed for months, without giving me the choice to keep it or axe it. They certainly could force us to go with their “Uncle Google can I have permission to use my phone?” flow for apps we already use.

WE MUST CONTINUE TO OPPOSE THESE CHANGES, THESE ATTACKS ON OUR ABILITY TO INSTALL APPS AS WE WISH.

Me personally I think Biden was too much of a, shall we say, non-problem to Russia’s plans. So they just went ahead and started pillaging more parts of Ukraine in 2022.

The only other reason for your question I can think about would be that the Russian pillagers had different plans - attacking Japan.

I upvoted, and with this I commented.

Thanks, I’ll check it out soon. Appreciate every little new bit of knowledge in this sick world.

Comparing makeup to surgery? She can’t show herself underground surgery on live TV even if she wanted to. What a nasty idiot.

I was considering if I should work for IBM. Maybe I need to do a little reading on that, any sources you recommend?

I think you perfectly nailed it. When I go to a text article, I’m in charge of how fast or slow I want to take it, I can skip text, and a feature I really don’t use much is if the browser has a reading mode, which would remove all the stupid shit crammed into the site like the cookie bar or other things uBlock Origin doesn’t get.

It’s also that I only need to read. Videos might work with just listening but especially often they need me to also watch the feed. Way more effort so a guy can say things that I’ve already lost track of midway.

Can you please give me some links to the fascism on their forums? I already know they sell fascist games like The Great Rebellion (GOG is guilty too), or that one asset flip where LGBTQ people somehow rule the US with an iron fist - I forget its name but I saw it in a video and it was genuinely bad and creepy.

I’d dare say they don’t do ANYTHING against fascism, so in my books they are just as much enablers of fascism as the companies actively lobbying for it. You know, Nazi bars and all that. Plus I’ve got a feeling those who insist they aren’t fash because they don’t spend their money on fash things are not aware of or even ignore things they’re actually doing, or benefiting from the current admin.

So now you’re just babbling for the sake of babbling, coming up with the most braindead takes possible, while ignoring practically everything i say because i don’t fall under the criteria of your tribe, thus inherently being a corpo billionaire shill. With this behaviour you’re only proving my words about your inability to see nuance. I hope you’re a kid, because that would at least mean some potential for intellectual development in the future.

Cool story bro. btw, buy a mirror instead of using me as yours. I hope Gabe gives you a dollar to buy that mirror.

define “unaccountable corporate master”, and explain to me how did you manage to put a game publisher under a term like this.

What a stupid question. See everything I have literally said directly to you. Read my replies and find out the answer. As someone once said, let’s stop before you embarrass yourself further.

>gets given a case of valve signing an exclusivity deal with an indie game, Epic-style

>“Hardly seems comparable.”

>gets given examples of stores that thrived without a shopping cart

>comes up with excuses anyway

By now I’d be feeling sorry for the double standards applied only against Epic, if you know, it wasn’t just a carbon copy of the exact thing I’m criticizing by yet another sleazeball billionaire.

It’s crazy to see people defending any of them but Gaben always gets defended.

Well I should’ve looked at the sub before deriding yacht owners. Of course it is pcgaming. He is their god. To criticize him or his company is sacrilege. Never mind that he is cut from the same cloth as every other CEO. But he did one good thing so clearly the two billion bad things don’t matter.

You’re welcome!

I’m not sure of any more examples, just like you I’ve only heard about it lately after Epic spawned. I’m NOT hoping to find more of this scummy behavior from Valve, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I did.

They certainly are paying tax money to the Trump-Epstein Administration, as is every other American company, further enabling all those things. You have GOG as the European option that won’t pay tax to the Epstein class. Also you don’t really get to be a billionaire without also having substantial political influence…
