There’s no way it’s going anywhere good.

We know that not everyone in our community will embrace our entrance into this market… even when not universally accepted, is exactly what the internet needs today.

Every fucking tech corporation ever has said this.

“This is a case of a rare incel victory that led to Ubisoft having to take down its numbers,” they added.

Some analysts point to sheer number of games available today, their high prices, and the cost of living crisis for a slowdown in the gaming market. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot himself admitted that gamers now expect extraordinary experiences, and that “delivering solid quality is no longer enough.”

The lesson learned is pander even more and make the hog slop an even more finely liquefied puree of fanservice shit!

They’re so amazingly dogmatic, too. There’s this subtext belief that Nintendo’s business decisions are somehow profoundly and uniquely wise, such as the claim that there can’t be a new F-Zero game because “there’s no conceivable way to make it different each time, which is a Nintendo™® mandate” as if it wouldn’t be enough to add weapons to the vehicles, customization/performance modifications, power allocation, outright flying or even space segments, or even out-of-the-car gameplay.

Nope. Just the “make it different each time” of the Zelda plot rehashes forever and ever.

Or, make it “different each time” by making it janky in a way most people don’t like, like Star Fox Zero which was also a plot rehash, and then shelve the franchise because people didn’t like it. Nintendo is that infallible!

That “Frightful Hobgoblin” computer toucher would insist otherwise, claiming that a sufficient number of Game Boys bolted together equals or even exceeds human sapience, but I think that user is currently too busy being a bigoted sex pest.

It’s marketing hype, even in the name. It isn’t “AI” as decades of the actual AI field would define it, but credulous nerds really want their cyberpunkerino fantasies to come true so they buy into the hype label.

“And what games you can buy will be bundled with Ice Climbers. Always with Ice Climbers.”

The treat printer stans will be very excited about this. Maybe this time, this one time, all that tech company lucre plundered from a nonconsenting public will trickle down this time.

Being chronically online

Says the that came here two days later to continue tipping that totally-not-atheist fedora.

It’s been 2 days now.

Go away.

The irony is

I don’t care what you claim to be, especially 2 days later. Your bloviating is masturbatory, tiresome, and now days late.

Go away.

A ledger that by definition shows every previous transaction on it is a honeypot for investigation just waiting to happen.

THE Museum of Neoliberalism in London is closing its doors for good this evening, before developers demolish and turn the site into luxury flats.

Founded by artists Darren Cullen and Gavin Grindon, the museum has been based in Leegate shopping centre in Lewisham since 2019.

The exhibition featured a timeline on the history of neoliberalism, and displayed artefacts including real-life anti-union posters, corporate-sponsored scout badges and an authentic bottle of urine from an Amazon employee.

Developer Galliard Homes plans to demolish the shopping centre where the museum stands, and build towers up to 15 storeys high accommodating 562 residential flats.

I still remember when one of the founding developers of the Diablo series quit after too much corporate skullduggery and went somewhere else to make Torchlight instead.

The corpos he left behind, failsons and businessbros that they were, left a Twitter message regarding that founder’s departure:

“FUCK THAT LOSER.”

That’s what pieces of shit were left in Blizzard ever after.

You were arguing with such an incredibly misanthropic piece of shit that of course they see a sufficient number of TI-88s bolted together as direct analogues to self-aware and conscious human intelligence.

Look at how that piece of shit treats other human beings: like the inferior “meat computers” that such a techbro mindset provides.

When something you love gets slowly corrupted.

I wonder if those “corruption” cliches in Blizzard game storytelling throughout the Kotick regime were a sort of subtle cry for help, the way Origin’s developers cried for help during Ultima VII with EA-logo evil magic devices and the like and the massive dunking on Richard “Lord British” Garriot in the Serpent Isle expansion after he fucked them over and sold them out and had a cynically celebratory bonfire party where all their hard work on a Privateer sequel and other projects was set ablaze because he was cashing out.

Kotick was an enjoyer of Little St. James Island, which may come as no surprise to some.

The other chilling implication was the belief that peace would reign if only every non-Christian was annihilated first.
