I was a gamer the same as your father, before the dark times, before the Empire!

@SmashJT @asha_shar They/them really trying to force their ideologies down our throats. They/them can’t seem to read the room. Can’t move a brand forward if the exclusive software still suffers from corporate DEI slop.

Why does @asha_shar stand for lack of retard representation in video games?

Don’t let this go viral though.

@llamatodd @Riley_Gaines_ I say it’s because they can’t compete with their own sex. Even sadder, they can’t compete against themselves.

@Riley_Gaines_ I'll never understand how any man can feel any sense of pride competing against women. Shameful and embarrassing.

If you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girls’ event, you’ve already admitted you know he isn’t a girl and that his participation is unfair. At that point, you're just seeking a public humiliation ritual for the girls.

@Pirat_Nation That could be a disaster waiting to happen; just requires a switch to flip that.

OpenAI is introducing a feature that allows ChatGPT to connect with users’ bank accounts through Plaid, a platform already used by many financial apps. The feature gives ChatGPT access to balances, transaction history, subscriptions, debts, and investment summaries to help users understand and manage their finances. OpenAI says the AI cannot move money, make transactions, or access full banking credentials. Financial data will not be used for AI training unless users opt in. AI assistants are evolving into full digital companions connected to email, calendars, shopping, health tools, and now banking information.

@MartyTheElder I’m excited!

We need to talk about my podcast...

Did you know that Mixtape was paid for by the Australian government? It was partly funded by Business Victoria, a branch of the Australian government. So Australian taxpayer dollars and a liberal tech nepobaby studio (Annapurna) made this "game" and access pressured games journos into giving it a 10/10. It's an astroturfed psyop. You love to see it.

@LuLuTheGoth Sounds like a better Final Fantasy game than the Dawntrail expansion. And if that’s the case, I’d be a Dark Knight tank class for the amount of shit I’ve taken and continue to move forward in life. *queue the song ‘Something In The Way’*

Lets not forget PVE servers have suddenly out of nowhere turned into PvP servers. Despite players complaints about this, the moderators are AFK.

@SmashJT Oh, the “I didn’t review the game because it doesn’t align with our principles” 7.

TOO MUCH WATER: IGN Gives Subnautica 2 a 7 While Steam NUMBERS EXPLODE! WATCH: youtu.be/ib8ltjrpFzI

@llamatodd Nope. Fuck they/them.

Are these people okay?🤣 I bet they have "spread love and kindness" somewhere in their bio

Ah crap. Just when I was getting hyped for Forza. They couldn't stop at 2, they had to add 3 Body Types. And the female "type" is barely indistinguishable from the male. It's a goal: Total erasure of biology to support radical ideologies.

Microsoft is working on a new system called Positron that could let Xbox players turn their physical game discs into digital copies. The idea is simple: you put the disc in your console or drive, the system checks that you own the game, and then it adds a digital version to your Xbox account. Once converted, the game would work with cloud gaming, play on many devices, and fit better with new hardware, while the physical disc would likely stop working afterward to stop people from sharing or selling the same copy. We do not know which games would work, if it costs money, or when it might launch, and Microsoft has not confirmed it, so this is still just a rumor.

For real tho

When I decided to create the Steam curator Sweet Baby Inc. Detected, my goal was to warn players about people who wanted to turn video games into tools for ideological messaging and political propaganda. Things escalated far beyond anything I ever imagined and today, terms like DEI are widely known across the global gaming community. We have also seen Sweet Baby Inc. become increasingly secretive, and having your game associated with Sweet Baby Inc. has effectively become a badge of shame, leading to significant losses in sales and reputation among gamers. Over the past few weeks, I have been watching the industry's movements closely, and the reemergence of Anita Sarkeesian as a relevant figure is deeply concerning. This is someone who has already done far too much damage to the video game industry with her toxic and hateful ideas, combined with the influence she somehow still holds within the industry. I see a situation very similar to what we had with Sweet Baby Inc.: a malicious individual trying to use video games to spread twisted and hateful ideologies, using gaming as a vehicle for propaganda. That is why I have decided to start including games connected to Anita Sarkeesian in the Sweet Baby Inc. Detected curator. We need not only to warn players that the game they are thinking about buying may be helping fund Anita Sarkeesian's disgusting work, but also to send a clear message to the industry that WE WILL NOT ACCEPT OUR ENTERTAINMENT BEING TURNED INTO PROPAGANDA. PERIOD. However, I cannot do this alone, not this time. Unlike Sweet Baby Inc., Anita Sarkeesian does not provide a ready made list of games she has worked on through her official website. She does list clients, but not specific games. And I simply cannot spend endless hours every day tracking down and investigating these titles anymore. Life happens. Bills need to be paid, and I have to focus on work that actually brings financial return. I am being completely honest with you here. But I know many of you can help track these games down. To get things started, I have added Slay the Spire 2 to the Sweet Baby Inc. Detected curator. If you can help identify more titles connected to her, please email me at info_deid@protonmail.com. Only games with undeniable proof of her involvement will be added. As always, I do not want to be unfair to anyone, nor do I want to spread false information. ROUND 2 BEGINS NOW!

@MasteroftheTDS That last line in his tweet says it all.

Unfortunately, JDA has done the same thing to me numerous times. After I cut him off for being a terrible person, he continued using my work while hiding behind phrases like “a source said.” At the same time, he publicly claimed my research wasn’t credible and accused me of being part of a “whisper network” trying to cancel him. You cannot simultaneously use someone’s research while discrediting or refusing to credit the person who uncovered it. He has since attempted to delete tweets, maybe to hide his history, but the internet is forever. This needs to stop. Give proper credit to creators, if you can’t, do the work yourself and stop being lazy.

@RealJamesWoods @llamatodd It almost seems intentional to let these monsters out to do as much damage as possible as a middle finger. These random acts aren’t random at all, it’s designed that way.

It’s the end of civilization if we don’t stop it.

why do you have to pander to retarded shit like this? @ForzaHorizon @Xbox

The video game industry is lobbying against Stop Killing Games California is considering a new law called AB 1921, also known as the Protect Our Games Act. If passed, the bill would apply to paid digital games sold after January 1, 2027. It requires that if a company shuts down the online services needed to play the game normally, it must give players 60 days' notice and either release a patch so the game can still be played or offer buyers a full refund. The bill does not require companies to keep servers running forever. It simply prevents them from making a game unplayable without warning or a solution for those who already paid for it. The Entertainment Software Association, the main group representing video game companies in the United States, is lobbying against the bill. Their arguments are basically the usual ones: >games are licensed, not owned >online services are complicated >third-party licenses expire >security risks exist >this could be hard or expensive to enforce Supporters of the bill, including the Stop Killing Games campaign, say this is basic customer protection because when you buy a game, it should not suddenly stop working with no remedy. The bill gives companies clear options and applies only to future games. A hearing is scheduled for this Thursday in the California Assembly Appropriations Committee. If you are part of an organization in the United States, especially in California, you can submit a letter of support to the committee. This is an important step for better rights for players who buy digital games.

Happy Mother’s Day 🩷💐

@thegameawards I’m highly convinced that there is an agenda to push propaganda in our games in the video game industry now.

MIXTAPE is now available.
