So y’all just pissing in cherrios today?

This is a brand new, opt in interoperability tool between 2 small-ish social networks. No shit its not heavily used yet. People who are using it can ask their friends to bridge, which will bring growth over time, just like any social networking experience.

What exactly are you complaining about? That someone else did something cool you don’t care about? That other people may enjoy something you don’t?

Interoperability removes power from closed gardens. It makes the platform itself way less relevant.

“Bending over backwards” is how you undermine bluesky in favor of mastadon. We should 100% be doing it as much as possible.

Email was invented in 1983.

It was revolutionary, the utter example of a “killer app” that had people and businesses running out to buy computers just to replace paper memos. You setup your mail server to hook into that brand new, stunning ecosystem of near instant communication from across the world.

Now there are 6,000,000,000 “killer” apps you can install in seconds from your pocket computer. I can hit “install” and be talking face to face with a stranger in Singapore in 30 seconds, all from easy, low effort walled gardens.

Federation was and is a reasonable way to host things, but comparing current systems to email is a misnomer. People dealt with federation because they had to. If gmail has existed in 1983, no one would have had their own federated email servers. Hell, AOL tried to choke the internet itself to death and almost succeeded in the early 90s because it was an “all in one” solution. They had aol only webpages and everything, including email. Its a twist of fate that they failed, mainly due to the onset of always on broadband, not because people didn’t want things easy.

Make things easy, people will use it. They will only do hard if they have to.

Titan Quest is an older aRPG with mythological god vibes. Same folks who did grim dawn.

A sequel is also in the works.

I’m glad they are going to take the DLC from the alpha state they released it in to an actual product people will want to buy.

They should have done that before they started selling it, especially for such a beloved franchise, but at least they are willing to go the cyberpunk route and actually fix the broken game they released.

They have still burned a lot of goodwill. I was planning on a day 1 purchase, but got caught up at work and ended up seeing the terrible reviews first, thank fuck. I sure won’t be buying this until it’s done, and I’ll wait on all future DLC too, if they happen.

Vim doesn’t hate you. It loves who you could be.

Desperation is a powerful motivator.

Okay, so they got the game “somewhat working” live? Well, that’s something I guess.

I guess that explains why the commentor above posted a pre-recorded video instead of the actual live video that undermines his argument that the game is nearly done.

I’m just working off the video linked above. No video of the player, no commentary, no indication a person was actively playing it.

If they actually played it live, well bully for them. One point goes to star citizen.

Man, when you have to compare someone to literal fascists because they don’t trust your untrustworthy videogame company, you have a problem.

They released the game to the public this weekend? That is amazing.

Ohh, they didn’t? This is still not available? The FPS spin off that isn’t even the main game? They said it was played live but don’t show anyone playing it live? They just made more promises, the thing they are still doing after 700 million dollars and more than a decade has passed?

Okay then.

This is far from a one off. He does fucked up shit like this constantly, for years. He’s made millions from the controversy.

I doubt hes done.

You have to mock the liars and the strongmen at least sometimes, because if you don’t they flood the zone with their shit and it just consumes the culture.

Apparently it has lots of game breaking bugs, a terrible ui, and they recently fired the entire dev team?

Watch out.

Watch out.

Looks like they didn’t back that data up correctly, or don’t have the granularity to just do the guild banks and would have to restore over wider systems.

I’m also betting they are watching players metrics and not seeing many people quit or cancel over this, so they are just going to see if it quietly goes away instead of doing any hard work go fix it.

Fuck yeah. Awesomenauts was a side scrolling moba whose art was a love letter to Saturday morning cartoons. It was weird as fuck, but also fun as fuck.

The devs did something unique and cool, and supported it way past when it was probably financially a good idea to drop it. That’s a group of people that care about their craft.

I updated the above with some links. This is spec’ed solidly for around that price:

I personally prefer AMD to Intel at this point, but it’s a touch pricerer right now:

Either one will work great, but the $1200 rig is where I would recommend if you can swing it. It’s the best bang for your buck, and will stay a solid gaming rig for 4-5 years, longer if you like indies:

100% the right choice. For the around the same $700 a playstation pro costs, you can get something good. If you can pony up around $1000, you can get something great.

You’ll make the cost difference up in game price savings in no time. Shit is legitimately cheap, especially if you’re in no hurry.

Isn’t it rad that Sony designed the ps5 to have easily replaceable side panels and then for some reason only releases the really cool panels as part of a full console?
