Honestly, I think you are being hyperbolic. If it was a pattern, maybe, but even then…

Sorry just to clarify: by “it” here I meant this post - not partner shaming in general, which covers a broad range of behaviours

“abusive” jesus christ 😂

Who cares? This did not “break the internet”. This is a fully USA squabble, and even then I genuinely don’t think most Americans care. This article is just an advertisement for Cracker Barrel.

Haha, nice. But people always pay it so this sort of thing will keep happening, as it has for a decade or more now 🤷‍♂️

Haha, I’m not sure “we were going to lie to our customers anyway 🤷‍♂️” is the best pitch for the pros of AI

I don’t know how this guy got famous, and I don’t know what he does or who he is, but every single time I hear about him it’s negative. Who is watching this guy? Why?

Is anybody actually excited for new triple A games? I can’t remember the last time I was. Maybe Space Marine 2? But even then, I was really worried about how they’d jam it full of microtransactions after charging £70 for the base game or some other bullshit.

I find it hard to believe people are genuinely excited in the more mainstream gaming space nowadays; I might be (am) being very very cynical but for a decade or more it’s felt like these “big” games are increasingly anti-consumer.

Also the horrible commonality of game development studios and publisher higher-ups (and regular 9-5 employees) being implicated or found guilty of sex crimes. It’s pretty concerning.

That’s good of them. We’ll see what their Canva overlords think of those nice intentions 🫡

Awh fuck. I bought a lifetime thing for the whole Affinity studio like two years ago when it was on sale. Is there a decent alternative to Affinity? I would rather not go back to GIMP for images, just cos the UI/UX isn’t so smooth!

Oh no, when did they get bought by those ghouls?

The piss filter is back baby!

Oooh, might have to give them a look then. Thanks for the recommendation! 👍

Oh I remember the original Sniper Ghost Warrior!! Fun game but I found it felt a little cack-handed, in my experience - altho it is plenty old now. What do the Contracts games feel like? I assume they’re much more modern?

I’m surprised to not see the Sniper Elite games recommended here, if we’re talking single player. They’re definitely a bit formulaic by now, and story/dialogue is not worth paying attention to, but they’re slow, methodical, and a lot of fun!

There’s a bit of a Hitman vibe to the later ones, approaching objectives almost however you’d like, and they can absolutely get hectic if you find yourself in a compromising position.

You can run, the sprint is on the clicked movement stick (on controller) like CoD. Not super fast but definitely faster than walking!

I’m motivated to get this AI bullshit out of here

My fave guy on LinkedIn! Very obviously a joke, but still very funny

It’s London mate, twice a day rubbish pickup on my street and the fuckin place is still full of rats. Still, cheap protein in a pot noodle innit! Some of those fuckers are bigger than cats, fearsome bastards.

I’m fortunate that the bins on my street are collected twice-daily. The trade-off is that the bins lorries have LED sides. Lights up my entire bedroom when they pull up. I’m also opposite a pub, so every Wednesday morning starting around 7 it’s non-stop clanging from barrel deliveries. I live above two shopfronts, so every morning through midnight is bullshit noises. I live under a lamppost, so the council putting up Christmas lights means a cherry picker staring through my windows. I’m just bitching, but the LED buses and lorries are fuckin wild.

American politics absolutely dominate the fediverse, it’s crazy
