Maybe you should wear masks when in public spaces for once. Wash your hands for longer than 5 seconds and donโ€™t go places if youโ€™re sick.

The offensive thing to me isnโ€™t the lewdness. Itโ€™s that the new characters arenโ€™t even vampires or werewolves when thatโ€™s the whole point of the game and its name! (Theyโ€™re succubi)

Itโ€™s a missed opportunity because people responded well to the male characters and the launch women vampires werenโ€™t over the top as it tried to evoke gothic romance.

Guess weโ€™ll find out if 4 goon characters back to back will raise some revenue in a few weeks.

Looks like Silver and Blood has pivoted into full on goon bait after a sharp decline post launch.

What started as a vampire game with fan service has abandoned the fact that women (and gays) love hot vampire men. A shame as women were a decent chunk of its players as it had an actual plot #gacha

I love how CoD saying that all playlists are minimum SBMM has led to constant conspiracy theories about if theyโ€™re lying or not because people arenโ€™t getting easy games like they hoped.

The fact that Trumpโ€™s supporters would have more issue with Trump being gay than being a sexual predator whoโ€™s been accused over 25 times and is linked to one of the biggest child sex traffickers ever known.

Thereโ€™s no words to truly express how bad things are.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Samus has a comic relief sidekick. CoD campaign is a hallucination induced L4D game. Deus Ex looks like a PS2 game. Pokรฉmonโ€™s next game is a key card.

Bungie would have definitely won if they respected their work enough to keep it available but no. Theyโ€™d rather settle a crap suit than make a functioning build because itโ€™s cheaper. Embarrassing shit

Last night I watched a streamer in Arc that downed other players and then had them answer trivia questions in exchange for a revive. The questions were like "who runs this whole operation" and "what's the name of the cataclysmic event that led to all this" and lol no, gamers do not pay attention.

International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative | Euractiv The court will move its internal work environment to Open Desk, a German-developed open source software

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying itโ€™s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khanโ€™s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
