I remember being so shocked that someone that played such a super positive character could be doing such horrible things. But, she’s done her time, maybe she’ll make something out of her freedom now.

Yes, because time progressing is having less time. So by turning off time, you have an infinite amount of it.

You can do both of course.

You now have all the time in the world, because time has stopped and you will never age. But since time has stopped, you cannot interact with anyone, or anything in the world ever again.

I tried the demo, gameplay loop seemed promising, but it quickly became apparent that the game has a minimal story and too many “wave horde” sequences where you defend areas instead of moving from objective to objective. That being said, this made me reinstall the old F.E.A.R game again though which has aged surprisingly well.

Oh… they’re on sale! YOINK

At this point, the only thing I keep my account for is to ferry people over here and poke fun at the Pissbaby formerly known as Steve Huffman. Enough of us have emigrated to here now that the salient content is pouring over. And honestly, it’s refreshing because everything is pretty much on point with very little spam.

So, so far this year we’ve got Imgur, who thinks the internet does not run on porn, Twitter who thinks keeping users from their service is a good idea, Reddit who thinks nuking their freely made moderator infrastructure works and Youtube who also thinks randomly banning people who are smart enough to use ad blockers won’t have any effect.

At this point, I’m starting to make up increasingly bizarre theories as to why techbros have suddenly all collectively gone insane. The one I came up with this morning was that they all snorted coke of the same hooker’s ass which was somehow tainted with a brain eating amoeba.

Some of his best work is Dog Breeds vs Robbers.

Sure, you’re more confident, but nobody has any faith in you, so the only one that believes in you is you.

Reddit will go the same way as Digg. The site will remain, but the lurkers will start to migrate once it becomes apparent that the 1% of us that create content have mostly left. Down the line in a few years, we’ll all be laughing at the pissbaby formerly known as Steve Huffman and say “Anyone remember THAT clusterfuck? Oh man, he really thought he had it made, talk about fucking yourself over!”

RIF made Reddit bearable to surf on a phone, without it, there’s just no point. RIP RIF, you were a fucking amazing app for the tiny investment it cost everyone!

Epic bullshit. Hacking was missing, cyberspace was omitted completely, essentially half the content in a typical Pondsmith game was just not present. And most of the quests in the game just ended abruptly, indicating they were cut short.

CDPR, nobody is buying your bullshit. Just suck it up and move on and BE BETTER. Be like you used to be.

I think it’s what we need to further push the envelope further. We’re not using the full capability of our hardware that we have today by even a longshot. There’s too much fucking overhead everywhere. And I say that as an artist who fucking LOATHES the shitty rendered music paradigm over the modular approach that we used to have. We see it everywhere though, wastefulness in RAM usage, no damn compression in anything natively, no thought on what data structures would result in the lowest footprint on the harddrive, no actual concern for using higher level langugaes over lower ones.

They’ve got astroturfers in every thread on the big subs that are basically FUDing the shit out of everything that isn’t Reddit. Oh Lemmy too hard, oh Lemmy too complicated, Oh Lemmy require email on signup. They have so many shills now that they had to actually start handing out six month old accounts. It’s hilarious to see.

Yep, rif dev was rumored to be working on it. It’s a race to the finish now to see which app dev gets it first.

Just as I expected and actually hoped for. Now they had to tip their hand and show themselves to everyone what kind of totalitarian assholes they really are. Meanwhile the fediverse is likely to hit one million users by the end of the week. So yeah, the second the media starts reporting on this in detail and it floods everyone’s newsfeeds, it’s game over for Reddit.

Tons of shills and astroturfers too in every community, basically repeating the same talking points over and over. And then they’ve got doomgloomers who are trying to convince people that it’s pointless. And now lately you have the most insidious assholes, the ones that tell moderators to “protest” by not moderating. That last one is hilarious because if you stop moderating a community, Reddit WILL give it to someone else or ban it.

Either way, this place is nice a cozy compared to Reddit, it’s like in the old days. I’m loving it.

Present and accounted for.

I honestly don’t care about the political views of the administrators as long as they keep moderation politically unslanted. The second they add in politics like Reddit did, I’m gone again. Real freedom of expression is allowing everybody to have their opinion. As a writer I know that freedom of expression is one of the few things that make life worth living.

That’s why I got my own domain in the end, because I was tired of social media censoring me.

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in years. Man, do they even have users left to kick? This is absolutely turning into the year when tech companies are screwing themselves hard with spiked dildos covered in reaper sauce.

Considering I’m the one in our friend’s group that tends to push the most content in our chat’s (and on Discord), I very much doubt me leaving is going to be a net gain for YT. And I know I’m not alone. There’s tons of people out there like me who love finding weird stuff and posting it to friends who aren’t engaged enough to dig deeper. So, yeah, I have a few handfuls of people who would stop visiting stuff I posted, now multiply me with 1000 and you’ve got 10-20k, multiply me with one million… and… well. you see where it’s going.
