Their claim is "advertising". They (or, more likely, an AI agent) believe the hashtags for various MM communities are trying to advertise for websites which is against the NSO ToS. This video is a great explainer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc5z...
Me, looking to the headlines to the left of the screen, including: Episode 975 Is Released From Jury Duty Amazon Luna Shutting Down With No Refunds Indie Dev Stays Silent On Future Projects Mario Maker 2 Levels Deleted Over Hashtags Music Break Featuring OverClocked Remix
On Episode 975 of my video game podcast, I'll talk about the death of another game streaming service, why an indie dev is not talking about their next game, and about how Nintendo is removing Mario Maker 2 levels because they use hashtags to denote their communities. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork
Dammit.
I was actually told that the entire reason I wasn't more popular as a podcaster was because I wasn't angry enough.
I opted to not be popular and just have fun.
EverQuest was indeed the next community I went to after trax

On Episode 974 of my video game podcast, I'll talk about how the AI Infrastructure Roll Out is affecting the Online Gaming space, and how a very popular VR app is going offline for not being profitable despite having lots of investment. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork
And if you want to know how this little C64 MMO from 1986 is relevant today, it was worked on by Doug Crockford and Chip Morningstar. They had to have a messaging system that was light and robust to handle the memory of the C64 and 1200 baud modems.
15 years later, the two of them released JSON.
Last night the team at Neohabitat put out a super early alpha that allowed access to Lucasfilm's Habitat to work on a Commodore 64 Ultimate. Club Caribe was the original public version on the Q-Link online service and was my first MMO in 1990.
I used the same monitor and joystick as I did back then
There's something a bit poignant about a Bluetooth device failing to connect to another device right next to it when they're the only Bluetooth devices for hundreds of thousands of kilometres around.

On Episode 973 of my video game podcast, I'll talk about the PS5 price increases going into effect basically now (I was told "Sony would never!") and talk about how you will get laid off if you can't replicate the success of Fortnite - even if you're working on Fortnite. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

Huge if true
The Jetsons lied to us
Quirky middle school science teacher gets sent to a neighboring star to find out why it's NOT dying like all the other stars around us, including the Sun. It's by the same person who wrote The Martian and has some of the same overall themes like loneliness and scientific ingenuity.
Yes.
Just got back from seeing Project Hail Mary.
Yeah, it's REALLY good.
i’m still kind of shell-shocked and trying to figure everything out, but for some reason i was included in the layoffs at epic today. been there almost 9 years.
Seeing a lot of people posting about Sora being dead :/ wish people were more cautious about sharing Kingdom Hearts 4 leaks
I'm definitely in to check it out for a little bit. EverQuest was basically my entire identity from 1999 until about 2003 but I wasn't really interested in grouping up much. Having a soloable version that will give me the same feelings as the original is really exciting.
An excerpt from the 2024 book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, telling the story of how author Andy Weir was fired from Blizzard
This past weekend, the new movie Project Hail Mary was a smash hit, bringing in nearly $141 million at the box office.
But many years ago, before he was writing novels adapted into mega-hit films, Andy Weir was fired from his dream job... at Blizzard Entertainment. Excerpt from my latest book:

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.
I'm happy to hear you got some resolution. I had no idea - I'm really only involved in the speedrunning space for two weeks out of the year, and the rest of the time I mainly focus on my other endeavors - but I'm glad I got to meet you that one time. You make the world a brighter place.
