Holy shit gaming outlets are really desperate for clicks. How, just how are these people better paid than garbage collection crews or entry level nurses. We need to make it impossible to make a living wage creating click and ragebait. Just mandate adblocking by default in all browsers, ffs.

Getting ready to “motivate” people to get the 5xxx series because the current cards “have issues now”. The more you buy the more you save!

This is based on a shit article from the shitrag “TheGamer” that calls 500 players downvoting a game a movement. There’s 1,4B people in China, 500 votes don’t even register. TheGamer is a clickbait/ragebait shitrag that weaponises xenophobia/culture wars/ignorace to generate traffic. They are the precise example of the enshitification of the Internet. Veritable parasites.

I’m happy to lobby for the balatro dev once he posts on a federated media (real fed, not bluesky).

Personally, I don’t care if balatro is popular here, the pegi 18 rating will impact sales 0%. Also, FC24s gambling should be banned EU wide or the rating of the game should be upped to 18+. Better yet, we should use this Balatro slip up from PEGI to get FC24s rating to be revised to 18+

~500 negative reviews, c’mon, what a piece of trash article.

If you have canvas randomisation turned on (firefox) you’ll always be unique but also not traceable between sessions.

Your mom!

*sorry, 80s nostalgia hit hard for a second there.

That Italian guy bringing a glimmer of civilised hope to the lands of greedy barbarians.

SoNy BaD.

Dude, MS has been dumping and killing the value of games so much, the entire industry is shifting to free to play live service. MS single-handedly ruined the past 10y of the games industry with their push to remove physical ownership and move everything to the cloud so they can double dip with Azure and Xbox. Furthermore they are responsible for the introduction of pay to play online and on Xbox you had to pay to play F2P games online until recently. Sony are greedy cunts but MS is not even on the same level of evil, they are pure distilled cancer and thanks to them the 2nd hand industry for game copies is struggling, everyone went live service because full price game sales went to shit thanks to gamepass (which is still not profitable) and now they have orchestrated a coup to kill Ubi so they can buy it the same way they did with Nokia. FWIW, the whole PSN debacle started with the sanctions on Russia.

Well, this is disappointing, is this the best you can muster? A “no u”? I guess you’re part of the Eurogamer readership after all. Don’t forget to take your meds. Have a great weekend, Bobo.

I can’t believe it, ludite fake news /s

Thank you, appreciate your compliment, It’s a pleasure to be a source of entertainment. I used to train chimps, perhaps that’s where my talent to amuse primates derives from. Always nice to feel appreciated, thanks stranger.

Thank you so much for your concern and apologies in advance. Im well aware I need to work on dumbing down my writing to be accessible to everyone. Sorry for my ableism, I promise to work on myself to be more inclusive. Again, apologies if I made your head hurt, that was not at all my intention. I hope you have a splendid weekend.

Given the upvote I’m guessing the two of you are part of the aforementioned eurogamer readership…

The article is from eurogamer so you have to temper your expectations of the literacy of the readership.

Very much so, the fully connected world is much more dystopian than I could ever imagine. I just misread OP.

Anonimity, privacy, and the dream that the world was full of intelligent kind people.

Snaps, they are against one of the main tenants of FOSS. Obscure content validation and reduction in free access.

The UX barrier of entry is a good idiot filter, not perfect but better than reddit.

Fuck no!
