that’s how they are NOW, but pessimism doesn’t get anyone anywhere.

google and microsoft are creating a fault line in tech. one that was previously only drawn by Apple. now everyone will be forced to either assimilate or decentralize. which ironically is exactly what the internet needed, it’s grown entirely too privatized in the past decade or so. i sincerely hope this results in more people thinking critically about their tech. and that the next billionaire with an “idea” doesn’t just make everyone complacent again. but all i can do is hope.

Gamesir Cyclone 2. Best third party controller I’ve ever used and for only $50-$60. TMR joysticks, Hall Effect triggers that can be switched between hair trigger and full. Can connect wired, Bluetooth or 2.5ghz with a dongle. Can switch connection methods between Xinput, DSinput, Android, Switch. Not sponsored or affiliated in any way, I’m just very thankful that a controller like this exists for so relatively cheap after blowing through so many controllers in my life.

the people cheering this on like it’s actually a good thing are inept. the government doesn’t give a single fuck about children, let alone their parents not getting the money they deserve. this is to strip voting rights from even more people, that’s literally it.

more money being exchanged between the same hands

i cannot possibly justify kernel level anticheat. cheating in games is just not that serious, sorry. there are much smarter ways to tackle that and i certainly don’t have evidence for this by any means but i’ve always assumed that kernel level anticheat is just spyware being justified by saying it’s to stop cheating in multiplayer games. insane to me that people are willing to play games w it.

i feel like we’re at the point where this extends now beyond privacy and is just about not dilluting human beings into bytes of information to be bought and sold on the stock market like it’s just about basic human rights at this point

just like the gaming industry telling you 60fps is too low and your GTX series graphics card is inadequate today. but despite this i, amazingly, get by just fine. it’s literally just blatant consumerism.

i’ve literally never considered decomps/recomps not being available to linux before now. feel pretty short sighted for that, that’s a crazy thing to think about. i tend to stay attached to media long after i’ve outgrown actually interacting with the source material and viva piñata is one of those cases. playing the games themselves tend to drive me insane, it’s just super frustrating for me w my ADHD. but gods do i love it. i love pretty much everything Rare did back then tho tbf lol.

Zionists sure are fragile beings. Call for genocide of mostly children just so you can prop up a bunch of instagram houses on their corpses but can’t take a little death threat? glass houses and whatnot i suppose. i’m glad i switched off of it when i did, people should seriously stop recommending it for beginners.

that is certainly a way to interpret my comment

They said the same thing about Hitler, he still managed to genocide millions. But far be it from Western society to learn from the past, no we erase it and pretend it never happened.

LOL the downvotes, if you think you don’t have blood on your hands you’re lying to yourself.

meanwhile Palestinians are forced into begging online for the means of survival, the bare minimum, that they should already be getting and they’re being labeled scammers. we are all complicit in this.

the message here being the IDF is badass bc fuck god?

the pirates from reddit who have can’t hear a pirate talk about ethics and morality without shitting their fucking pants should’ve just stayed on the absolute cess pit that is r/piracy tbh. you’re screaming as loud as you can “i’m a fence sitting centrist coward!” as if you aren’t in the majority. some of us aren’t afraid of politics. simply get over it
