Say after me gamers:

"Steam is not your friend"

Then add all corporations and billionaires into the place of steam and repeat.

Girlguides can't afford to fight this. Don't blame them.

Blame the lawfare that JRK is underwriting. (oh and the spineless UK Gov)

A reminder that for every billion dollars made on PC gaming, Newell pockets $300m.

He keeps out of the public eye better than some billionaires, but he is still a libertarian billionaire, and billionaires should not exist.

Something really fucked up for video game media just happened... BKinG, the "NoClip of China", got his YT channel deleted twice and gave up on YouTube.

His channel had dozens of documentaries on the development of all sorts of important Chinese & Taiwanese games - all posted with English subtitles.

Chatbots โ€” LLMs โ€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When theyโ€™re โ€œrightโ€ itโ€™s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. Thatโ€™s all.

โ€œWe are open to limited, responsible child sacrifice,โ€ the statement reads. โ€œThe monetization opportunities provided by immolating live children in honor of Moloch are compelling, and we believe they position Riot Games for sustainable, long-term success.โ€

The scanned poem and its full illustration referenced by the original post, taken from two pages of Shel Silverstein's 1981 book "A Light in the Attic"

Poem in question:

The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine,
Most perfectโ€จcontraption that's ever been seen.
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time,
Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.
Here it isโ€” "nine plus four?" and the answer is "three."
Three?
Oh me . . .
I guess it's not as perfect
As I thought it would be.

I was just about to say the other half of the illustration makes this post even more accurate
