@PurpCat @rlier23 @Xeraser Do you really expect anything more from a community who mostly came from TRS and MisterMetokur?

Man, the CP/loli debate really distracted from Shadowman giving a massive bootlicking take.

If the only copy of your files is on someone else's computer and they delete them or lock you out of it for good you have no one to blame but yourself.

People are still using Google Drive? Morons...

I remember something similar happening back in 2022 but I don't remember the context. Anyway stop using Google Drive!

@PurpCat Well all the e-celebs I followed that virtue signaled the most are the same ones who jumped ship to BlueSky.

The furry fandom is probably the last circle that will recover from the culture war (if ever). It's synonymous with woke culture at this point.

@PurpCat That was the biggest shitshow ever. I thought that everything was going to be ultra-woke from now on when that happened.

TIL in Stockholm (Sweden) they made a giant phone tower in the late 1800s to connect 5500 phone lines over the rooftops.

it makes me wonder if the hl2 combine citadel was inspired by it

The 1976 UK heatwave was one of the most intense, prolonged periods of high temperatures in British history, lasting from 23 June to 27 August 1976. But no one blamed cow farts and the weather maps certainly didn’t look like a volcano had erupted over Britain.

Imagine thinking that anyone is nostalgic for GamerGate, especially when it is increasingly obvious that it was probably a manufactured psyop.

If it weren't for GamerGate you would probably be chasing your dreams instead of becoming a politisperg online.

I know very little about early Metokur but I suspect from his awful takes that before Gamergate he had little interest in politics.

Much like Trump himself.

The statist juggernaut unleashed against Massie runs the very system that preserves itself in power. Sorry, folks... We’re not voting our way out of this.

I don't think steam or valve will ever go away i just worry about who will replace gabe and if they have users interests in mind rather than political interests in mind

valve is kind of in a position where if they ever had to close their doors Microsoft Sony EA or Possibly some Saudi Arabian investor would buy them out
i could even see tencent joining that bid war

But yeah it would be a bid war and the only people who would suffer are the users

unreal engine 6 is on the way, announced with a new rocket league.

i'm of two minds here. we all know unreal 5 sucks ass. is unreal 6 going to be better, or is it fundamentally just unreal 5 with a new coat of paint to trick people into being optimistic about the engine again?

i wonder how much of CDPR's work has been incorporated here, or if all of that stuff is specific to their studio alone.
