Can anyone think of a game where the twist is YOU are the final boss?
Only one that comes to mind for me is Shadow of the Colossus.
(Though the bad ending to Resident Evil 9 totally missed an opportunity there)

@ElderScrolls8 @benonwine Googles own store is where most android malware comes from, their security and signing process is meaningless.
Meanwhile, the "scary dangerous unofficial f-droid" store doesnt have that problem.
English
@benonwine Yeah, may be don't download unsigned apps on your phone? They are security risk for your phone. It is the OS that flag them.
English
Banking apps can now see which apps you have installed and where they came from. Let that sink in.
Install something they don’t approve of? Suddenly it’s “sorry, you can’t access your money until you fix your wrongthinking.” No court order. No warning. Just a locked screen and zero options.
This isn’t about security anymore, it’s about control, compliance, and surveillance baked into everyday tech. Convenience was the bait. Dependence is the trap.
We’re not entering a golden age of technology.
We’re sliding into the digital dark ages.

@Pirat_Nation Seems like a bad solution, cause doesnt it mean German accounts have an objective advantage now?
English
Starting March 16, 2026, German players in Counter-Strike 2 will see an "X-Ray Scanner" tab in their inventory. It reveals the full contents of any case before you decide to use a key.
This replaces traditional blind unboxing for Germany to comply with national loot box and youth protection regulations.
The change affects only accounts set to Germany. All other regions remain unchanged.
English
@Pirat_Nation We only cheer for bad games to fail, which is totally fair. Nobody is cheering for Slay the Spire 2 to fail, or Silksong, or Requiem, or E33, cause they're actually good. Its not that deep.
English
Chet Faliszek, the veteran game writer known for co-writing Half-Life 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2, recently called out online toxicity toward developers.
"If you hate game developers, you hate games."
"If you’re cheering for things to fail, just keep it to yourself."

@Hybridh139266 @bedard_derek The irony is that he called them an inferior culture because they actively discriminate against gay people. It's actually a progressive take. Y'all tend to cut out that part of the clip though, weird.
English
@bedard_derek Yeah he talks about people having inferior cultures
English
They bent the knee.. yikes
This likely happened because Asmongold refuses to censor himself. He remains unfiltered and companies view that as a brand risk
Reminder to work with most companies you have to censor yourself or be removed
Mythic Talent@MythicTalent
We have spoken with Asmongold and mutually agreed to part ways. Mythic represents creators from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, and we are committed to fostering an environment grounded in respect and responsibility. We remain focused on supporting our creators and continuing our mission to help them build sustainable, long-term careers.

"Starmer"
He's the fucking prime minister
Show him respect!
Beth Rigby@BethRigby
ANALYSIS: There’s been much criticism about Starmer not standing for anything. But on Iran, he has taken a stand against Trump. He will hope it lands well with his base, but more importantly, he will hope history will look favourably on his choice.

JUST IN: US House votes 357-65 to block release of congressional sexual misconduct reports.

@JonSchweppe @NetChoice We've seen enough now. These laws went from "porn" to "social media" to "vpns" to "app stores" to "your fucking operating system" in the span of a year.
We can see with our own eyes that this is not about protecting kids and is just a dystopian power grab.
English
@NetChoice Do you guys oppose the porn age verification laws for this reason? Would be clarifying. I think you were publicly noncommittal before.
English
Proposals that effectively mandate digital services check IDs will make the internet more dangerous, especially for teens.
Just this week, now 419 cybersecurity and privacy experts from 30 countries worldwide warned that this approach diminishes online privacy and security.

Here’s a list of all the brands and creators that are partnered with Asmongold’s talent agency Mythic Talent.
Why they want to be represented by someone who cheers for death everyday is beyond me.
Should probably start asking them.

Asmongold completely flip-flopped on War with Iran. 2024: "We're too interventionary, we get too involved into other people's business, it's a waste of our money" 2026: "I am so happy this has happened...we're bombing them again, this is just amazing."

@tekgeekartfreak @LundukeJournal At the very least, non-compliance should be normalised. Dont use systems that require you to dox yourself, and push devs to not comply, these laws only work if everyone plays along, it's not like California can just ban Linux for a number of reasons.
English
@LundukeJournal So how should we go about fighting this nonsense?
English
Here’s where each of the “All Operating Systems must do age verification” laws are as of today.
- Brazil (Law 15.211) : Signed into law. Requirements in effect on March 17th, 2026.
- California (AB-1043) : Signed into law. Requirements in effect on January 1st, 2027.
- Colorado (SB26-51) : Passed Senate on March 3, 2026.
- New York (S8102A) : In Senate Committee.
Note: As of today, March 4th, Operating Systems developers have only 13 days remaining before the Brazilian law takes effect.
Related: In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.
English
@ubuntu Nobody should comply with this law, its obvious its written by people who have no idea how this stuff works. Even if the OS implements the signal there's no way you're going to get all of the app devs who are mostly volunteers/hobbyists to work with it JUST to appease California.
English
Over the past couple of days, there has been a lot of commentary about #Ubuntu and how it'll respond to California's new Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043).

@PolitlcsUK Kids can't buy VPNs unless their parents give them the money, and at that point the government should butt out, its not their business.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has launched a consultation on age-restricting VPNs to stop kids bypassing the Online Safety Act
He's also announced new powers to ban under-16s from social media and block infinite scrolling features at short notice, pending the consultation outcome

Can I ask, what mandate does Farage have?
Fuck all.
Badenoch?
Fuck all.
The only person with a mandate to govern given to him democratically by the electorate is…
Keir Starmer.

Mewgenics developer Edmund McMillen shouted out Emiru for playing his game as he does w various streamers & the comments were not having it
“We wont be watching”
“U need to start having some spine”
“DON’T PROMOTE HER SHE’S VERY TOXIC RIGHT NOW”
“Better channels to watch..that is not directly tied with Asmongold and his politics”

@NoToDigitalID Only 4 states opposing vs 23 supporting is tragic, shows how wide spread the authoritarian mentality has gone, its already basically the majority of leaders want this garbage.

The EU wants to expand “chat control” to scan your messages as they are sent

@PostLeftWatch So you unironically believe their story that someone broke in just to steal *specifically* the documents that would prove they're legit? Like... for real? You're not meming?
Even tim walz admits there's fraud and he was the guy enabling it, what are you trying to do here?
English
Shoe0nhead pushes the completely bullshit Somali daycare fraud story, and implies that the daycare lied about a break-in where "suspicious exact paperwork" that prove it's a "legit operation" were stolen.
English
@edmundmcmillen Generally its a matter of safety. The internet is full of crazy people who like to try and ruin peoples lives on a whim, I think its good to mitigate the risks.
Also I see no benefit in putting that data out there in the first place so its not like i'm missing out on anything.

No judgement just want to understand, what is the reason behind so many of you not wanting to show your face?

@globaltimesnews Suddenly all of Kiers authoritarian policies make much more sense. We joked that he used the CCP as model, turns out it wasn't a joke.

UK PM Keir Starmer said on Friday it would be foolish for Britain not to engage with China, rejecting the assertion from US president that it was dangerous to get into business with Beijing, Reuters reported. An expert said Downing Street’s reaction demonstrates UK’s current clear and sound strategic vision toward China.
