An Invalid Egg

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

Yep

how the narrator says "jodariel" is perfect. Instant happy brain chemical reaction.

ooooo which character was your favorite?

yeah.... i liked the game, but the most fun i had in combat was using the parry/reaction skills when i could. the nagging voice in the back of my head was like "or you could just use the stronger stuff that lets you turn off your brain since every enemy has such an inflated hp bar."

Cancel your US trips and boycott US services and products as much as you can.

I've been doing it since the tariffs and threats on Canada last year and it's pretty easy to do it.

Use the BuyBeaver app and it'll show you where products are from and who gets the money.

Witcher 1 and 2, Dark souls 2 and Nightreign, Act 3 of Bg3. These are parts of these games' history that are both agreed are low points for their respective studios and more than enough people talk badly about Consequence Free. (none of these projects use gen AI from what im aware... so relevance?)

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

the very pathetic truth is that all the fuckers writing 'harris lost by running on the left' op-eds would, if she had ran the exact same campaign but won, be writing 'harris won by rejecting the left' op-eds instead. they're not honest people

If Ben Starr was allowed to be more honest in his new Square Enix ad

I think more people enjoy complex women protagonists in video games than a few divorced YouTubers would have you believe

A tweet from JK Rowling which says: I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

JK Rowling’s favorite word since the 90’s has been poverty despite the fact she was raised upper middle class and was broke for a short while following her divorce like most people. This farce is especially disgusting considering she could spotlight UK poverty issues and DOESN’T

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

This whole section really.

would you rather die keeping in burps, or edit long enough to see yourself become a villain?

already seen 3 different conspiracy theories made by people who hate the game, meanwhile im interested enough in the story from just watching a friend play that i want to get it myself.

“Which sitcom dad is best at sex?”

youtube asking the right questions

Eh, I'm not upset or anything, and obviously no one should get mad at just "I don't like that genre," but "the genre you like is a stupid and tedious timewaster" is rude and off-putting at the very least.

Yeah. I've met a lot of multiplayer people in the space get really vitriolic with both their audience and people who do variety because "thats not something that is viable (for me)" and it always strikes me as odd since most of these people don't try to diversify their interests and clearly want to!

nobody says "hilarious and original" anymore. they just say Shut the fuck up

do the people getting mad at bsky about this know that pornhub has been inaccessible for people in texas for over a year for the same exact reason?

Screenshot of a Tumblr post: User tearlessrain: "I think there's this problem where a subset of The Left has assigned a positive moral value to the amorphous concept of kink, but a negative moral value to any individual actual kinks. so you get people gleefully calling themselves perverted freaks but then you scroll down their posts and it's like s&m is abusive and teacher/student roleplay is gross and petplay is basically bestiality and if you don't use a safeword for every scene and check in every three minutes then you're evil and if you wear a collar in the grocery store you're basically committing sexual assault on everyone who sees you. and it's like I dunno man I think you might just be vanilla. which is only a problem because you yourself don't seem to know that." User clara-the-cat: "They like the idea of being "sex positive" but they don't like the idea of sex."

this is what happens when you try vegetables even once

me with ian. oh so you're an electric - ian? a guard - ian? magic - ian? idk who ian is and why they get to put their name after stuff, but im sick of it!!!!

I will never view certain reviewers the same for calling Fromsoftware games they dont like "Fromslop." Forever changed how I see them and made me re-evaluate their previous work.

Oxenfree and Oxenfree 2! short walking sims where your dialogue choices and actions end up mattering more than i initially thought they would!!!

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI
