In true tech bro dumb dumb fashion, instead of recognizing failure and learning from it, he doubles down and blames the critics.

Sworn, way too much Ball X Pit, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

Fascists making a tool that does nothing but steal Other people’s work is so on brand for them. They’re incapable of making anything original.

I bet! I’m gonna go that route. My wife just likes watching me play games, so I always try to share the experience with her. Control might become the late night game I play after she’s asleep. I love the work Remedy puts into their games.

I just completed the first Alan Wake (again) and then finished Alan Wake 2 after it. Now I’m playing Alan Wake: American Nightmare. I started playing Control too, but it has a lot of sounds and visuals that bother my wife, so I’ve shelved that one for the time being.

Yeah, I’ve been keeping track of that one and they are trying to get him removed from any sort of leadership role over the community.

He’s been a dirt bag for as far back as I can remember.

DHH is a massive piece of shit. I keep seeing his stupid name popping back up recently and I wish he would go the fuck away. No community needs his toxic views.

I definitely buy more than 2 games per year, but the types of games I buy and the maximum price I’m willing to pay has changed. Almost everything I buy now is from indie devs, and I’m very selective of the larger studio games I’ll buy (right now, for example, I’m cranking through Alan Wake 2 after replaying the first one).

I’ve never had a TT account but have been on Rednote for months. I don’t use any other social media outside of it, except Bluesky. Rednote is fun and folks are nice. It’s very focused on learning and sharing, so you get content that’s actually interesting, as opposed to the onslaught of hateful, vitriolic bullshit US-based social media loves to force into your feed alongside the 50 ads.

Good suggestion a friend gave me: Go to the Electronic Arts Steam page and mark them as an ignored creator. It won’t block everything EA but can add a banner to EA products that says you’ve added them to your ignore list.

Fuck EA.

Run - Ruin

None of this crap is even consumer tech. They use the consumer as a guinea pig so they can eventually sell it to the military. We are the test subjects and only the idiots are buying.

The industry wants senior engineers but isn’t willing to put in the work to make entry level engineers into senior. If you are considering a comp sci degree, don’t bother. Like the article says, train with cheaper skill-based courses. You may hate AI or not see the value, but if you want to survive in the tech field now, you have to learn how to harness AI tools (and that doesn’t mean writing prompts).

This is the state of tech now. The capitalists once again have managed to suck all of the air and fun out of the room so that they can go live on some compound when things inevitably go to shit because of their irresponsible behavior.

So what I’m hearing is that it’s not even worth trying to play on a Steam Deck 😂

If you’re basing whether or not you’re “left” on anecdotal evidence of some leftists celebrating his death, you probably weren’t very left to begin with.

Rayhunter is the way.

We keep trying to appeal to systems and mechanisms that have been compromised for years by corrupt politicians, judges, and other figures taking payoffs from tech companies.

It will work this time, bro! We will get an actually just judgment! I know it! Just try once more!

Yep, that’s why the super mainstream organizations putting marches together are always suspicious to me. They get their funding from somewhere and the overarching goal is never 100% clear. Often times it’s good people at the center that aren’t aware of the ulterior motive behind the ones bankrolling it.

Even smaller orgs can be easily manipulated. They often don’t do any real research on people before giving them access to internal information that they could easily send to whoever they are working for. It’s something I wish more activist and other organizations would invest their time into.

Mobilization is the spark; organization is the fire. If you have the first and not the latter, you’re not moving the needle. Governments love mobilization because they can co-opt it. They can waste people’s energy via constant mobilization without established organizations.

The trick is giving it tons of context. It also depends on the LLM. Claude has given me the most success.
