Mark's Em-8er is a slow-motion decade long train wreck. Progress will continue at this nearly non-existent rate unless/until patreon/subscriptions begin dropping like flies. Then a flurry of progress that takes minutes or hours to make but claims takes months. Wash/rinse/repeat.
Victims of Grummz@Victummz
One month has passed since an Em-8ER backer and moderator posted this accounting of the project’s current state. Grummz has yet to acknowledge or respond to it.

On it's face, I would ask how ass-backwards Valve's system must be that the guy needs to give permission to himself for use of his own work but considering the stupidly large number of sockpuppet dev accounts on the platform? That would be my first go-to question: Did you use the same dev account?

An indie game developer who was blocked on Steam over “potential infringement” of his own work has finally received approval after submitting a license declaration to himself. According to the developer, Steam’s review process flagged parts of the game for possible copyright concerns, even though the assets and content were created entirely by the developer. To resolve the issue, he reportedly had to provide formal documentation confirming that he had permission to use his own work. These systems are designed to prevent stolen or unauthorized content, but sometimes create frustrating situations for indie devs

I find it somewhat surprising that enough people were stupid enough to think that was actually a good idea to push civ changes that it made it into the game to begin with.

Civilization VII is set for a major update that finally let players stay as one civ through all Ages, as the boss of parent company Take-Two has admitted: “we got it wrong.” bit.ly/4eybrvU

@SidAlpha Wait, wait, wait. Am I seeing who I'm seeing? It's the ghost of Sidmas Eve lest mine eyes betray me.

Should see the inspection demands. Acerthorn is asking me to provide him with my login credentials to my Twitter, Google (YouTube), and Discord accounts. Absolute lunacy.
The Spectre Report@Spectre_Report
David Stebbins (@acerthorn ) has sent almost 400 discovery requests to @SidAlpha . This is far above the normal limit of discovery without consent. Courts routinely see this as both a dilatory tactic and an attempt to make the other side waste money defending.
English
Yes, @geargades is correct. At the request of my attorney, all of the Acerthorn videos have been privated. I will release a lawsuit update video at some point (not sure when I feel like coming back, I'm just on X to scrape some old Twitter posts for the lawsuit) but aside from that, I wouldn't expect those videos to be unprivated until the lawsuit is concluded.

@SidAlpha Hey was just rewatching some of your videos and noticed the whole Acerthorn saga got hidden. What happened there?

I’m doing a new kind of Dragon Age lore video where I explain things like you’re five. Tomorrow’s topic: the Darkspawn. Bring crayons.

@adam_crusader Nah, dude's obviously just got a single weapon. Shield on his back in both images also discounts dual-wield as an option.

They claim it was not AI generated but I wonder how many human artists draw men holding swords with L-shaped hilts and 3-finger hands.
Cummz@Em8erCummz
How about you grow the fuck up ? These dipshits dont even have the balls to admit that they are using AI.
English
@adam_crusader Also with a dual-wield given the length of the blade you would normally see the 2nd blade protruding behind him as his body would not cover the entire length.

I suffered through the game twice (because of lost footage from the first playthrough) and I know you have played it as well. TBH, you're still being far too kind to Veilguard. Every aspect of the game was an exercise in abject failure. To the point where the Mass Effect Team had to help them out and the portion of the game that team worked on was the only passable section of the game. Even then just barely.
English
@korzewarrior If only I had hours of gameplay of mine featured of the game on my channel from when it released... oh wait.

Onepeg showing that @IGN's reviewer Travis Northup likely lied within his Dec. 2nd review of Escape from Tarkov. This calls into question the adherence to review standards by IGN writers and not only this review by Travis Northup, but any other review he has ever written.
Onepeg@Onepeg
hi. your reviewer is lying. - he stated he spent 10 hours in PvP and quit to play PvE due to cheaters. - he didn't. He spent 30 minutes... maybe. 2 raids. The first raid is the tutorial mission in which you can't die. The 2nd raid he recorded for your "video review" and died to an extract camper, said this ONE PERSON was cheating, and quit to play PvE tarkov. - that person wasn't cheating. your reviewer showed the death screen in the video review. i attached a copy of his account details. he's a typical 800+ hour tarkov player that appears to have started just prior to or during tarkov's last wipe. - he stated he spent 120 hours in total in the game - he didn't. his account is 52h37m old, not 120. Much of that time is spent in your stash. So he had roughly 70% of that time in PvE raids (except 1, which I mentioned above already). - If your reviewer cannot be honest/lies about his time spent in game and his reasonings behind his opinions, it invalidates all of his first-hand experience when formulating his opinions and why. - Tarkov absolutely has its problems. There's a ton of jank, poor optimization, etc. That does not mean BSG is undeserving of a fair review from you and your organization, and it certainly is undeserving of claims being made by a FIRST HAND ACCOUNT that does not exist for your reviewer.

@Tr777thTruth The unfortunate downside of the internet. I gives those bereft of intellect as well as those devoid of sanity or morals far more reach than they could ever hope to deserve.

@SidAlpha I don't like Pirate Software much either but c'mon man, that shouldn't result in putting a guy's life in danger like that simply because he had a shitty take on things.
It's disgusting.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am alive and returned to the internet once more. Additionally, I have an update regarding Pirate Software's claim that he was swatted during the Stop Killing Games controversy and it is CONFIRMED that a swatting attempt was made on 7/1 against him and I have been able to verify this via the Incident report filed by the Police which I received just minutes ago (so much for the request taking no more than 30 days).
The swatting attempt placed an innocent family in jeopardy as while it was verified Pirate Software owns the home, he rents it out to the family currently residing there. The swatters utilized a VPN in order to better pretend to be Pirate Software via the TEXT MESSAGE made to the suicide prevention hotline where they claimed he was home with his children, had a firearm on his person, and wanted to kill himself and his children. The police identified the VPN provider, "Amagicom AB" as a company based in Sweden. Amagicom AB operates the VPN service "Mullvad".
This sort of claim of murder/suicide is commonly used by swatters in an attempt to elicit a maximal response from law enforcement agencies.
Pirate Software lies about many, MANY things. However in this he was being honest in this particular instance.
SidAlpha@SidAlpha
An update on the Pirate Software Records request I made: Initial request came back with 3 results which the system opened 3 NEW requests to retrieve those records. Those are all currently awaiting Agency response. This request was submitted in order to ascertain the validity of his claims of swatting attempts made against him revolving the Stop Killing Games Initiative controversy.

Netflix retreated from Game development but this would be the corporate alternative for them. If you can't do a thing, buy someone who can. Likely from this we'll see those studios leveraged to produce games for their existing shows and franchises.
Michael@LegacyKillaHD
Consolidation sucks. I dont know how to feel about this other than all the options sucked & I wish Warner Bros. wouldve remained. Now I wonder WTF does this mean for WB Games studios like Avalanche, Rocksteady & NetherRealm? Netflix hasnt exactly shown they care about gaming...
English
@GloriousKev @SidAlpha If I recall correctly, the first swatting fatality was also a swatting against the wrong people.

@nuhre_ @DPredator666 I have my concerns. The feedback loop of rage might cause the premature heat death of the universe...

I JUST got over being pissed off about that. Thanks for the reminder. Dicks.
