Why does Saudi Arabia mistreat and abuse women? Because it’s Saudi Arabia.

Don’t live in Saudi Arabia. Don’t work in Saudi Arabia. Don’t associate with Saudi Arabians. If you’re in Saudi Arabia, do everything in your power to get the fuck out of Saudi Arabia.

I’m already sick of this phrase. The tech hallucinates too much, and understands security about as much as a whale understands astrophysics.

Hasbro, not WotC. Wizards of the Coast is just an old name that no longer carries any meaning, like Netscape or Obsidian Entertainment.

Hasbro makes all of the decisions now.

Look up Soma Transmissions. There was also a bunch of short stories about the game. The one about climbing the big orbital gun to the top really stuck with me.

And there was more characters than just the scary proxy things.

Soma is far far more than a horror game. The horror aspects are secondary to the transhumanist questions it raised every hour you were playing it.

Unepic wasn’t bad, but doesn’t hold a candle to Terraria. It’s still my favorite sandbox game.

The fact that this headline has to call out the studio that made a 30-year-old game speaks volumes as to why they have to lay people off.

It’s been especially bad over the last year. WB is in freefall at this point.

It seems it would be pretty easy to blame this on David Zaslav, but the games department specifically has been fucking up like never before: Mortal Kombat, Multiversus, Gollum, Kill the Justice League. Just name a WB game that came out, and it’s been an abysmal failure, with similar games from other studios doing much much better.

I second Disco Elysium’s voice acting and also all of Supergiant Games catalogue, especially Bastion, Transistor, and Hades. Portal 2 is the most hilarious video game of all time, and a major part of that is its voice acting.

The Stanley Parable, Borderlands 1/2, Prey, System Shock 1/2, the Bioshock series, SOMA, the new Doom games, Path of Exile, all elevated by their voice acting.

Alexis left Reddit suddenly with some weird excuse, too. I think he got word of the stock plan and immediately jumped ship.

WIPO sounds like an racial slur.

Worse, they would make the hardware in such a way that you need special screwdrivers to open it, and even if you get access to it, the internal design is so hostile that it makes replacing parts a 4 hour experience.

Holy fuck… only R$269 a year?! Let me get out my RBucks!

Is it AI generated?

I’m unqualified to try to untangle why Trump’s handlers are doing this, and I generally don’t like to spout off without evidence.

Trump’s handler is Putin, and there’s plenty of evidence.

People and small indie companies have lost entire fortunes trying to enforce or defend completely obvious copyright cases.

Negative tag gambling is even worse than Wheel of Fortune. You’re out an entire shop, all of your blind earnings, and the negative joker you get is going to suck.

Right. I’m using it to juice up a Fortune Teller, anyway. If it hits, it hits. If it doesn’t, whatever. I’m down $2, and up a +1 mult.

Stable Diffusion. Why do you think all of these models exist?

You really trust the US government to control your communications? Especially given the last 20 years?

No, I don’t trust right-wing Nazis to control my communications. And I sure as fuck trust the government more than I trust greedy corporations. The problem is that the corporations have been fucking up the capitalistic/democratic balance for the last 50 years.
