@grumpy_dai @JWB2313 @Kitten_Monger @J0nOsterman @chrisiousity @DogOnTheRoof Personally I identify as the sequel Aliens deserved but never got.

Capcom needs to do more research before partnering with content creators, if they want to avoid backlash. I really don't think that a transgender woman with a history of adult video creation should be featured for playing a wholesome game with a child character. Now, personally, I don't think there is generally anything wrong with adult content as long as it's legal, sane, and consensual... but there are certain "spaces" where these kinds of people should stay out of. For example, people like Suzi should never be allowed to be an elementary school teacher or in other professions where the "intersection" of degenerate sexual content can be problematic. In this case, it's not direct contact with real children, but it's still public promotion of child-adjacent content by someone whose past work is overtly sexual for what Capcom is marketing as family-friendly adjacent sci fi adventure game... In addition to the content listed below with redacted titles, Suzi has produced over 7 more videos, for which the person is regretful of producing. There is already enough drama these days in the "trans" space with "trans kids" and various other content in that sphere that is highly problematic whenever children are involved. Now, I get that Suzi has rebranded themselves as the "wholesome" streamer and content creator, but AV content production isn't something you get to wipe away.

>AV content production isn't something you get to wipe away Fuck off with this prudish nonsense. You're just reaching for anything you can. Hell, I appear in a porn video with a Romanian girl I was dating at the time. You want to try taking that sort of swing at me, Chuckles?

Hot take, but I think we have to stop expecting people who did adult content long ago to just never move on and do anything else. It's a video game, it's really not a big deal. Suzi is known as a gaming content creator and has been for years now. Most people don't even know she used to do adult content unless they're told by someone else on social media. I get you may not want former sex workers in certain fields like as a teacher or something, but I find it ironic that people give sex workers flak, yet when they try to move on and do something else they treat it like the scarlet letter. A brand of shame they can never move on from.

@KidShoryuken it's for the authentic Neo Geo purchasing experience. it was a rich kids console you know 😂

$1,000 for this!? That's pure insanity, all of these games are widely available on other platforms, not to mention having their ROMs dumped decades ago

@BrodieOnLinux Am I the only one who miss USB Mini? (I'm ok with USB C, USB Micro is absolutely terrible)

Honestly I wish we had a USB A sized reversible USB so I didn't have to hear "But what about it being hard to plug in right the first time."

@krishdotdev @Pilviaika Huh, I had no idea about Midori being built off Firefox, last I heard it was using WebKit. (also Presto Opera should be a separate branch from Chromium/Blink, similar to Edge Legacy)

The family tree of popular browsers.

@APArizonaTea @LilithLovett No one is arguing for game companies to hand over their code signing keys to the public after shutting down their game servers. Open sourcing the server code is a nice gesture, but not a necessity for enabling player hosted servers either...

@Phredreeke @LilithLovett No because microsoft offers many times to upgrade and warns you. it doesnt hand update servers to the average user. Im against open source software for these reasons.

Game companies should allow players to host multiplayer servers if they feel like keeping it running is costing them too much $$ and they need to shut down.

@HelloItsVG You all got played by a 13 year old. Congratulations

I investigated the Doom By Fate situation top to bottom. A player allegedly DIED, devs allegedly laughed about it, and the entire Roblox community went crazy… But after watching KreekCraft's full unedited 37-min Discord call with the accuser + his dev investigation... almost nothing is what it seems. Here's the full truth. Every detail. A to Z. THE CLAIM— 13-year-old Mel (Drakobloxxer) posted in the Doom By Fate Discord that his 20-year-old best friend "Kit" had photosensitive epilepsy, was playing the new 1x1x1x1 update alone at home, had a seizure from the flashing green/black/white strobe effects, and died during emergency surgery roughly 2 hours later. The story went nuclear within hours. Death threats started. The game got review-bombed. Devs got doxxed. Kids on both sides were getting harassed. — THE RED FLAGS (from KreekCraft's call) Kreek sat down with Mel on Discord for 30+ minutes. Mel sticks to his story the entire time but provides ZERO evidence for any of it. Here's what doesn't add up: • Kit was supposedly found by a 19-year-old neighbor who had a spare house key. Instead of calling 911 or waking their own parents... the neighbor texts a 13-year-old kid at midnight? Mel says his dad told him to "go ahead" and run 15 blocks alone at midnight to reach Kit's house. A 13-year-old. Alone. At night. 15 blocks. PAUSE FOR A MINUTE, a 19 years old friend with a 13 y/o ??? that doesn’t sound right at the start Mel claims he performed CPR on Kit. But Kit was seizing, meaning she had a pulse and was breathing. You don't do CPR on someone who's seizing. >Mel says he followed Kit to the hospital, then SNUCK INTO the surgical ward alone as a 13-year-old minor. Hospitals use keycard access for restricted surgical areas. A random unaccompanied minor walking into an active surgery wing? Near impossible. Bro is in a movie… >No doctor ever confirmed Kit's death to Mel. He says he "assumed" she died based on the surgical team's body language through a window. Then walked home alone for an hour. >Mel can't provide Kit's real name, even privately to Kreek. Can't provide her Roblox username. Says his phone "wouldn't load photos." Can't provide a death certificate, hospital record, or any document. >Mel posted publicly blaming the game within ~3 MINUTES of supposedly learning his best friend died. While allegedly still at the hospital. Mel is already talking about organizing charity events and a hunting trip. No funeral details whatsoever. When Kreek points out the inconsistencies, Mel himself admits "I know it sounds fake." THE DEV SIDE (not what you think) — This is the part that shocked me. Those viral screenshots of "devs" saying disgusting things “just a random player," "epileptics shouldn't play videogames," "boohoo grow up," the death memes, the racist responses? They were NOT from the actual developers. The real dev team is mostly based in Thailand. They were literally asleep due to time zones when the entire drama exploded overnight. They woke up to death threats, doxxing, and the entire internet accusing them of killing someone. The people posting the vile responses were Trello helpers, community organizers, and fan-art contributors who had Discord roles/tags that LOOKED like staff positions. Names like "DASS" who people called co-owners hadn't worked on the game in months or were never devs at all. The one actual staff member who was involved in the bad responses? Already removed from the team. — WHAT IS ACTUALLY TRUE — The flashing lights in the 1x1x1x1 update WERE genuinely dangerous. An epileptic player reportedly warned the devs beforehand and they didn't act fast enough. The "flash toggle" they added came too late and didn't even work properly. This part was 100% mishandled and needs to be fixed. This story doesn’t really add up. The medical details are off, the timeline is messy, and there’s no real proof, no records, no name, nothing. What do you think—real or fake? 👇

@_winter_wonders Does this make the distros without corporate backing left wing then? You know, the ones not going through with implementing age verification? 🤔

"leftist linux distro $229bn IBM RedHat Fedora..." anyone who follows this guy is so fuckin braindead atp

@mbur82 @_winter_wonders Nah, they're clearly MAGA, who else wears red hats

@_winter_wonders “If it’s no supposed to be communist then why did they use a red hat? Why not any other color of hat?”

@APArizonaTea @LilithLovett Do you also blame Microsoft for vulnerabilities in EOL Windows versions?

@LilithLovett Thats how a game gets plagued by RATs and malware that makes it unsafe for everyone. Makes the company look bad for allowing it to happen. Etc. Its their product. They can do whatever they want with it including take it away from consumers.

@Powerful_Memes 😂

They need to be able to determine which users are potentially underage, so they can focus their grooming efforts effectively.

@LightAKindel @vattelious @grok do you really want to use the word "minor" in connection with Roblox?

@vattelious @grok give me the full rundown on what happened plus when did this happen every minor detail

@mimivalsi @HSVSphere 20+ year old PowerMacs 😂

@HSVSphere Sry for my lack of knowledge but is there’s no Arm64 Big endian CPU, what is the point of keeping a support ?

Has WOKE gotten to Linux? I cannot believe WOKE has forced them to STOP supporting BIG ENDIAN. RUST?

@LilithLovett I recall years ago radical trans activists dismissing this argument as gatekeeping (I have no idea how brain differences qualify as gatekeeping)

Fun Fact: Research found that there are brain and genetic differences in transgender individuals. This suggests trans identities are more than just “feelings”, there’s a biological and genetic component. Conversion therapy doesn’t work because it literally goes against biology.

@Tonjuxer @Techjunkie_Aman ngl, Windows PCs are pretty terrible nowadays, though not as terrible as Android

@Phredreeke @Techjunkie_Aman if you want to feel retro, REGISTER on GOG, I didn't say it has everything, the LACK of NFS UG2 pisses me off!! but it's the only digital option! You buy EVERCADE or PSV, PS2 CONSOLES for best RETRO. You can ruin your Android or Windows PC with viruses from ROM and ISO site.

A 390 TB video game archive was about to disappear. The internet had other plans. When Myrient announced it would shut down due to rising server and RAM costs, the community launched the Minerva Archive project. Dozens of volunteers began mirroring the entire collection. ROMs ISOs prototypes BIOS files development builds Covering hundreds of systems from obscure platforms to major consoles. Every file was verified using hashes to ensure 1:1 preservation. Result: the archive reached **99.99%+ completion weeks before shutdown.** Retro gaming history saved.<

@Tonjuxer @Techjunkie_Aman yeah because GoG has every game in existance lol also virus infection from roms lmao

@Techjunkie_Aman - what is faster than copying 390 000 gifabajtbytes of data?? a) account registration on GoG b) purchase of a console Evercade c) post showing Ai thumbnail d) virus infection of your PC and phone from unverified ROMs XD) all answers correct

@LIJI32 ...what did Stenzek do this time?

Apparently, according to the recent Duckstation news, developing an Android app isn’t even enough to stop the tantrums.

@GMShivers Have I got this right, a group of resellers are telling people to buy plushies from them at a HIGHER PRICE than buying them new, because American is for some reason a bad guy?

The craziest thing about all of it is actually having been there, knowing what you meant, and knowing that if you actually meant it the way they purposely misinterpreted it and put it on reddit, you wouldn't have apologized you would have said "Yes it's true now fuck off"
