Never change (meaning this sincerely, thanks for the good mod work).

anytime!

Investigating a user for a sus body shaming post, banning them for a programming drama post.

see, I don’t know Lena’s work well enough to know if maybe “she has ballooned” is a multi-layered reference that only looks like shallow, shitty body shaming if you don’t get the in-joke

but I’m online enough to know exactly where they got that Godot dogwhistle from, and it’s not even close to being an innocent mistake

I opened your post history to see if this was the lazy unfunny fatphobia I thought it was and found an additional awful fucking take right away:

That seems like a better system than say, Godot, who picks and chooses who is allowed to contribute.

so off you fuck

having stealth-launched a full-blown web3 game last week called Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles on PC.

Champions Tactics is billed as a “PVP tactical RPG game on PC”, and is both developed and published by Ubisoft. It involves collectible figurines of various warriors from the in-game fantasy world of Grimoria, which players assemble into squads of three and then battle in turn-based combat that looks oddly reminscent of Darkest Dungeon, of all things.

dear fuck this is incredibly generic. the game series is… Champions? of which this is a tactical installment and also the chronicles of Grimoria, a fantasy name so bland I can’t believe it’s not copyright infringement? this shit — name, concept, and all — definitely came from an LLM

But fundamentally, Ubisoft’s perspective on the tech seems surprisingly bullish; the vice president of its Strategic Innovation Lab seems to think gamers just “don’t get it.”

yeah! your target audience just refuses to get what you’re going for! I wonder what that’s called again? oh yeah, failure

…fucking hell I’ve got Netrunner on the brain. the card game about socialist hackers doing the best they can with what they can scrap together, organizing an economic war against extremely well-financed and terrifyingly powerful but inefficient corporations that almost own the entire world and will if you don’t single-handedly stop them

and as if that wasn’t cyberpunk enough, modern Netrunner is completely free and built on a game system and concept appropriated from Fantasy Flight after they let the game go out of print (though you can pay a reasonable price for good-quality printed cards, and they adopted roughly Fantasy Flight’s seasonal model that lets you do a MtG style deckbuilder without the greed elements, which is very nice)

e: and Musk is quoted in the other thread like “huh huh huh we all want cyberpunk right but just the duster not the other parts” and it’s like motherfucker a used duster’s normal hazard protection for a dying earth, ask me how I know, and all the other parts of any cyberpunk that’s worth a damn are about how much you fucking suck

this is only part of why Netrunner is the superior deckbuilder

unfortunately, the US election season is the time for tedious motherfuckers to try some shit

see I’m slowly shifting my vocabulary to tap unless I’m DIYing an NFC sticker into a project, but sometimes my cursed engineering brain takes over

maybe both should be tap. maybe it’s all tap. REST calls are now taps.

it’s embarrassing as fuck though when NFC’s either broken at the terminal or really finicky, so you have to get the cashier to slowly, painfully re-request the payment twice before giving up and seeing if your chip still works

or you’re at Walmart or CVS and they intentionally disabled it in all their stores for asshole reasons

even more embarrassing: I accidentally call it NFT and the cashier knows what that is and thinks I’m a fucking idiot

congrats on subjectively being an utter shithead to an African while supposedly complementing African countries in your trainwreck of a post

fuck off now

“I’m the most spontaneous wildcat in the fucking world,” he said. “You tell me let’s go, I’m there.”

Ayala agreed to an interview, but only if he would be paid. WIRED declined.

I keep imagining how hard Wired’s journalist must have been laughing when the guy with the personality of a particularly bland teenage try-hard demanded to be paid to promote his shitty pump and dump to Wired’s readers

One creator promised to pour milk over his supposed mother’s breasts, but only once his coin reached a $300,000 valuation.

fucking what? who is this even for?

can butts be used for online gambling? you bet your ass

the economists can yell all they want, but butts are the only sound store of value
