The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess
the game's principal engineer since 2017, evan kinney, who has been the backbone and spirit of this game for nearly a decade has been laid off. this is fucking bullshit, dude. i'm fucking done.
Or if he does really feel the itch for something serialized again, do what Modulo did and announce in advance "Hey this thing will be [x] months long/[x] volumes worth of material"
Cuz tbh Part 2 almost feels like he got told "you can just keep going till Whenever you get bored" in retrospect
we support the writer's barely disguised fetish in a climate where adults on social media are mortified at the idea of consuming something that made someone horny
what a goofy fucking quote man. like on top of thousands of people being laid off today, having their livelihoods destroyed, they have to read about it in a blog post with a line as embarrassing as this
oh my god this is extremely funny
On the brightish side, at least the song just sounds like the most generic ideal of an idol song possible, instead of her attempts at rapping
Or that particular mixing in this streamer niche where some of the singing borders on Vocaloid with how mechanically the vocals are touched-up into
Jesus. To everything that happened today. So glad you're okay, Lew
Take care of yourself, that's several tons to have to experience & parse

can't be emphasised enough that no matter how empty Valve's defense of lootboxes sounds, the lawsuit is also a trojan horse to censor violence in games so it's not a good idea to side with it lol
"It was the bombing of the oil depots in Tehran, with millions of residents, that has led to this sort of horrific, apocalyptic reality ... releasing plumes of toxic smoke, rain coming down through the smoke and then carrying those toxins onto people, onto the environment, into soil, into water."
I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.
I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

This is important if you don't want visa or MasterCard to tell you how to spend your money.

If I see anyone after today say or repost something like "why should I care about these changes, I don't like "degenerate" art.
You gotta kill the fascist that lives in your head because guess what. The sword is closer to your head than you realize
"They're just like Pokemon cards" maybe isn't the best defense with how fucked that market has been for years. That being said they're right that the age verification and tracking nonsense is appalling.
Theyre only going after in-game gambling/loot boxes as a means to get age verification in the door
I tentatively rescind my comparison from earlier, but I can't lie a part 3 announcement would be both "oh thank fuck" yet also solidify some of my not-great feelings on Part 2
Guess we see how many chapters are left if this announcement was a misfire?
idk man, when the latest chapter reminds me of Hussie's Not-Homestuck vn, I feel like it's gonna be the lame sorta spite and not the funny kind
Also like.... idk, might work if the whole thing was part 1's length/2 years, instead of 7 just to pull this at the finish line
Incredible piece about digital archiving, in particular what does and does not get that treatment.

Please, PLEASE, be loud about this topic, Android being open is what makes it useful, you own your phone and you should be able to install apps from wherever you wish to, don't let Google tell you what's allowed on the device you payed for!

If I were paying someone to write the code to keep my public facing/interfacing website functional for its users and fit for purpose and they admitted that they weren't writing the code at all, they wouldn't be getting another paycheck from me, because why pay someone who isn't working?

David Attenborough [whispering]:
“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”
A US court ruled against Google in the case back in 2023, and the remedies announced in 2024 threatened to upend Google’s Play Store model. It tried unsuccessfully to have the verdict reversed, but then Epic came to the rescue. In late 2025, the companies announced a settlement that skipped many of the court’s orders. Epic leadership professed interest in leveling the playing field for all developers on Android’s platform. But US District Judge James Donato expressed skepticism of the settlement in January, noting that it may be a “sweetheart deal” that benefitted Epic more than other developers. The specifics of the arrangement were not fully disclosed, but it included lower Play Store fees, cross-licensing, attorneys fees, and other partnership offers.
