i joined beehaw and bluesky in the same week. i think it’s fun! lots of artists and indie game devs on there. i didn’t use twitter and don’t really like mastodon, so i don’t have any point of comparison. seems to me that moderation is lacking and/or apathetic. there’s been a heavy focus on US political issues. there’s a lot of stuff that i don’t want to see, but i mute often and that has improved my browsing experience. it’s been more friendly and welcoming than pretty much any other social media site i’ve tried so far. i also do not prefer microblogging platforms, but i’ve been having such a hard time with hateful comments across various platforms in the past few months, bluesky has been refreshing for me in that sense.

i just kept pushing the x in the top right corner for a few weeks, then it gave me the 3-2-1 countdown, and then finally it blocked me from viewing any more videos until i disabled my ad blocker. i disabled uBlock origin, refreshed, re-enabled it again. no more ads since i did that.

i agree with you and i also think all games should have optional subtitles

Unity is seriously flawed and they had the audacity to say that this is necessary for them to fix their shit.

interesting. so they already signed statements admitting to blocking traffic and affecting local businesses, therefore they’re arguing that those testimonies are not necessary. basically this is the equivalent of, “we already admitted it, can’t we just move on?”

IMO the court should still hear the victims’ impact statements. i hope the judge thinks so too.

yep, any and all educational games will get played. there are a whole lot of idle young minds out there. i would say the main issue is whether or not you can make money from it. if you’re able to supplement your income while you work on the game, then i would say absolutely go for it.

i’m looking forward to hearing his made-up defense against this made-up attack, like “this is hurtful, i am not antisemetic, i love the Jewish people”.

Elon, the federal court does not exist to validate your feelings. you are wasting peoples’ valuable time and resources.

rich person threatens legal action because he is losing income due to his own actions. got it.

Yaccarino, a highly respected TV advertising executive, was appointed in May with the task of restoring relationships with advertisers a priority. In 2021, advertising accounted for 90% of X’s revenue but that income stream has been hit by companies pausing ad spending over doubts over Musk’s leadership.

i’m also curious how long Linda Yaccarino is going to last. she’s been around since May, given the job of cleaning up messes after Elon. her pay and benefits are probably very good, but what’s the real cost of this bullshit? is it worth it? is it possible for her mental health to remain in good condition while she deals with this? we’ll see!

LOL nice. i will take that to mean: some Texans like to spend money to block traffic and cause a general nuisance in Ottawa.

they tried that shit in my city and got shut down and booed outta there :D

i think the only thing stopping him from joining the supremacists is narcissism.

it’s good to see people facing the consequences of their actions though. it’s taken this long to build a case to prosecute Trump. i will be sure to tune in for the Elon Musk edition of Fuck Around and Find Out.

sure, i can get down with that. but before i read this article, i didn’t know who she was. now that i have read the article, i can decide for myself whether or not she’s worth my time or attention.

to be fair, i’d rather read it direct from CTV than go do my own research on this topic. i do not want to watch her videos, and would hate to find them in the wild as “Canadian women in history” content.

so what has she actually done for Canada? from what i’ve gathered, she organized trucks and the humans driving them to create a nuisance, she travels regularly to speak with people, and she wrote a book about herself. what is so inspiring about this person? why is this considered as a part of Canadian history?

as a Canadian woman who works her ass off to pay rent, knowing full well that i’ll never be able to afford to buy my own home, it pisses me off to see that this freedom movement fundraised 10 million dollars within days. i wonder, those assholes paying her legal bills - don’t they have more important things to spend their money on? i’m here spending time contemplating whether or not i can afford $11 grapes at the supermarket and these MFs are getting their bills taken care of by their fellow supporters. fuck that.

papers please. i thought i was doing pretty well in the beginning, but i guess it’s built in to the narrative of the game that no matter how hard you work, your family will still get sick and die, and the story progresses by you unknowingly screwing up and letting in a terrorist. not only are you responsible for paying for your own mistakes, it only gets harder and more unforgiving with each level. i realized pretty quickly that it’s not fun at all to spend my precious free time playing an extremely punishing game about working.

stardew valley and the stanley parable. no regrets :)
