Drake just signed a legal document acknowledging "Not Like Us" did him great harm.

Is this not the biggest defeat in hip-hop history?

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate increasing to $22.99CAD/mo starting September 12, 2024.

Possibly because of COD being added?

First person to shoot fish in a barrel: I don't even know how to describe how easy this is

Elon Musk answers to the Foundation Drive "Wikipedia is not for sale" asking "Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money? [...] So, what's the money for?"

Hi, I'm Jaime and I've been working for 8 years for the Wikimedia Foundation. The following are personal views and do not represent in any way the position of the Foundation (I don't and cannot speak on behalf of it). However, you may have seen this question by Mr. Musk and I wanted to respond A 🧵:

It's true. Cry about it, nerds.

sorry man i can’t hang out i need to lay down and feel weird for the rest of the night

Don’t forget about the 3 million emails it’ll send you for random garbage you don’t care about!

Also why does Google want me to always open YouTube to confirm 2FA requests now instead of just putting the code in 🙃

I hate when work or school (or stuff like Steam) all try and start pushing their own 2FA solution on you. Can’t we just stick to the standard so we can use Authy, Google Authenticator, or whatever for everything? Why does everyone want to do their own thing.

No me

Name a more satisfying screen in a video game.

We Played and Ranked EVERY SINGLE DreamCast Game We think by the end you’ll agree that it was an objectively better system than the Nintendo 64, and that Sonic could beat Mario in a fight.

We Played and Ranked EVERY SINGLE DreamCast Game

I swear that kind of dumb thinking feels universal. I hate it so much. I’ve seen it at all kinds of jobs. Anybody with a brain should realize it’s better to get newbies in and get them trained up BEFORE you urgently need them, but nah. Clearly it’s better to wait til after the last second.

Totally get the annoyance of landlords being jerks though. Idk why giving notice is so hard.

For what it’s worth I had a similar experience a year or two ago. From what I remember they came and looked at things and then another day came and did the windows. They replaced 4 windows in my case (old af original ones with modern ones) and it took a good chunk of that day.

"Still punk as fuck," I think as I wake up at 5:45 am, ready two computers, and manically refresh the municipal parks and recreation website hoping to get my two kids into swimming lessons at the same time.

GameStop ending support for crypto and NFT wallet in November The wallet is being scrapped due to the "regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space."

It's utterly remarkable to see massive corporations jump onto the crypto/NFT bandwagon eagerly & recklessly just because everyone else did, and then slowly see them crawl back one by one as they realize what enormous legal and commercial risk they've taken on.

I saw people posting their 10 favorite NEE games and I was all set to do it but I just drew a blank. It set off a whole lot of “wait, did NES games age poorly or something” thoughts. I rarely go back to NES games these days, but now I think I’m going to have to, just to, like, verify.

This is what I see when people say "making up a guy to get mad at"

The Strange Story Behind ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ One of the Year’s Biggest Releases Larian bulked up while building the epic Dungeons & Dragons-themed game. It will need to sell many copies to justify the growth.

Baldur's Gate 3 has been through: covid, the Ukraine war, a company swelling to 3x the size, several delays, one un-delay, an insane scope, and six years of development.

The inside story behind one of this year's biggest — and strangest — video games:

I wish I could have been part of that number but I left years ago when (imo) it already had become a much less useful or positive experience

I'm still immensely proud of this story about the transformation of video game localization in the 90s thanks to people like Richard Honeywood and Alexander O. Smith.

Tunic wasn’t for me, but wow. That is a beautiful physical edition.

I was never a pro but did some transcribing on Rev for money on the side years ago. I remember they changed to using automatically generated transcriptions that you’d just correct instead of starting from scratch and it was such a PITA I just quit immediately.

It’d also encourage people to invite people that they think they can actually trust to behave reasonably and not sell invites on eBay and all that nonsense

Or invite privileges suspended at the very least. Though to be fair I wonder what rule you could even enact to prevent them. I mean I’m sure there are people that want to follow novelty accounts so until they change over to spam what can you even do? But by then it’s too late.

I’ll miss those glory days forever.

I had a lot of amazing experiences on it way back in like 2011/2012. I used to do amateur games journalism and it was really awesome for making connections and getting news on stuff (esp indie stuff. Also met some of my best friends on there. But then yeah it really changed for the worse.
