Man that's convenient.

Twitter normalized of extremely simplistic expression of complicated issues which leads to all kinds of kneejerk reactions. Some men misinterpret whatever complaint as being about them and turn defensive, and of course the most aggressive of those voices are amplified by social media. The inflammatory comments beget more inflammatory comments, reasonable people quickly exit the space and this is what you end up with.

I firmly believe it's social media that's to blame.

I mean yeah absolutely protest your bosses unethical behavior but don't be surprised if they then kick you out. But that's good, more media coverage for your stated goal.

Don't worry, we're going to preserve these games anyway. Copyright means absolutely nothing in the digital age.

It happened before and next week there will be an article saying his net worth dropped X billion. A quick google shows there was a moment in 2023 his net worth dropped from 320 billion to 138. Tesla's stock has always been a bitcoin-esque rollercoaster and I don't see that ending any time soon.

Aside from the possible Enron-level accounting fraud, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I wasn't aware they considered Zionist a negative term. I was under the impression they were proudly Zionist.

I was going to immediately mention Hollow Knight but I see someone already did. Second thought: Tunic. It's been a long time since a game hit me as hard as those two.

For pure fun addictive gaming: Factorio is absolutely nuts. 2D survival craft platforming action: Terraria is still king.

For space empire building check out X4: Foundations, after almost 10 years under development it's absolutely amazing (but a huge timesink haha)

Oh and if you're into semi-hard-scifi basebuilding you could give Stationeers a look. Sunk quite some hours into that one.

It's trickling down folks. If Ubisoft can pocket 20% more profits for their games that means you the gamer will get 20% more updates for your favorite games. Really, that's how it works.

For years if not decades Israeli hardliners have been using Nazi style rhetoric describing Palestinians as subhuman. It'd be a joke if it wasn't so horrifying.

As far as I have been able to tell, it doesn't. If you have your own infra it doesn't affect you at all.

I don't keep up with him as much these days but always thrilled to see old Bob is still around.
