Can someone tell me why the suicide of Charlotte Fosgate/burntfishie in particular is getting all this attention? To me it's just another trans suicide. Was this person's Sonic hacks notable for being shit? Did he ruin a particular Sonic ROM hacking forum or Discord?

And I don't think it's just Stonetoss that brought attention to the situation, unless he is familiar with this person.

@icedquinn @genmaicha @jae @mint This is accurate and is more or less the view expressed by the author of the post. You don't expect a dictator to ask "Hey...are you a really nice guy?" before ordering someone's execution, getting deposed doesn't make you a saint. Chiang Kai-shek was basically a banana republic fascist.

Geopolitics is amoral, it's a really bad impulse to try to figure out who the "good guys" are. I mean, look at "militant psychopath with good lobbyists versus opium-trafficking terrorists with good PR" over in the Levant. The best anyone can do is figure out who is there that might be willing to be friendly to your country's interests for as long as you can prop them up and then make sure they still need you propping them up: that's how it's worked for at least 2500 years, I don't see it changing.

@lina @crunklord420 @pernia @waff @phnt @sicp @Suiseiseki @akai @dsm @jp @p @stelo @gikobot @mint @maxmustermann Just a few weeks ago we had one of the few remaining pedos on our instance leave because S8N uploaded an image and threatened to use the ip logs to dox him. So yeah, it does work.

ReVolt has a FOSS engine remake. I was literally playing it on a chinese handheld about 15 minutes ago since it is recompiled for so many different platforms now.

i will NEVER forgive youtube for taking my favorite content creator genre (comedy gaming channels) and hunting them to extinction

@brigrammer I could have made it like Soul Blazer, but I wanted this game to be more like Zelda 1. I think that game had no enemies in the first room in every dungeon.

Decided to change the death whirl sound effect to make it sound less 8-bit. I don't know how it turned out. Should I play with the instruments more? Is it fine just 8-bit? Or should I keep it like it is in this video?

@bonifartius @theorytoe @gabriel @Hephaestic I don't forgive them even for a minute. They planned the whole thing (look up Event 201) and the damage has already been done.

@bonkmaykr Make sure the clock battery isn't dead. Those things are known to fail regularly.

> Trump Media will use the approximately $2.32 billion in net proceeds from the Offering to create a Bitcoin treasury and for other general corporate purposes and working capital.

Okay, but how much of it will be used to purchase Bitcoin, and how much of it will be used for other general corporate purposes and working capital ?

@bonifartius @theorytoe @gabriel Many did admit that they were wrong, including mainstream outlets, but at the same time it seems like those articles were buried.

There were also cases of people who had all charges against them cleared after being arrested during the lockdowns. The most notable is Ian Smith who kept his gym open and got arrested for it. Last year, he won a lawsuit against the government and now has enough money to retire. Of course, that story was buried.
