From what I know, most of the effort goes to moderation - both when posting text, and video. We only get to see the moderated content, so we don’t know how much horrible shit there is.

I finished Princess Peach Showtime from there. Seemed like a mildly interesting game but not something I wanted to own for myself.

Maybe I'm a simp for IOI, but the CEO's allegations that the game might be getting paid-off negative press makes me curious. There have definitely been games in history that I've seen overwhelming negative reactions to from the internet, I tried them out and...they're actually really fun. Sometimes it just feels simpler to join the bandwagon without trying a game out, not knowing a good 60% of that bandwagon might be paid trolls. I've always hated vague statements like "The game was released unfinished" or shit regarding paid extra content.

Anyway, all that is just my opinion that I'm going to wait and see, at the very least.

From what I can tell, this region is notorious for gangstalking, especially against gay men. Many of these reports could likely be falsified to justify the idea of killing him.

I don't see any inconsistency about the fire if the article itself says that the cause is under investigation. Joss believed it's possible he made a mistake, but it seems more likely to be caused by the same people that threatened arson, and possibly the same people that murdered him.

I’ve been saying this!…

If you miss Blockbuster, visit your library. Most have an A/V section now. They don’t advertise much. But it’s basically the same experience of renting movies; just without paying.

Currently watching The Boy with the Striped Pajamas, a classic I never watched…using my PlayStation 5, lol.

Munitions stores are now stocking bullets forged from Enlightened Bothsidesism.

Let’s walk back and compare to a social cause that I think most people agree on.

Police violence is a problem. It’s a problem for all races, but black people have been disproportionately targeted for a long time, and are in all forms at greater risk. So, it’s fair to organize social movements around supporting that demographic to show they’re recognized and they matter; Black Lives Matter.

Male social isolation is also a problem. It’s been a problem for everyone, and loneliness affects all genders under modern social technological trends; but men are overwhelmingly gathering to movements that target their demographic and give them a sense of identity association. (Women and trans communities also gather to their exclusive groups to help identify their unique problems). Even if you don’t agree men are really victims, they can be warped into becoming perpetrators, creating more victims, if their mental health needs are not addressed.

And so, it’s fair to organize social movements around supporting that demographic to show they’re recognized and they matter; Men’s mental health matters. This of course does not need to detract from any other social causes happening.

The Geforce app used for drivers, and the app to connect to Geforce Now, are installed separately. In fact, you'd likely install the latter on weak devices that don't even have an NVidia GPU.

Yup. You log in to something like Steam or UPlay, and it lets you play games you have on your account. It’s only their supported list sadly.

The service is fast enough I’ve been able to play mouse-based shooters. Latency is not perfect, but home monitors and input devices sometimes have comparable imperfectness.

For those who don’t know, GeForce Now is a cloud option when you don’t have access to a strong PC to run a game. Back when Cyberpunk 2077 was unattainable for many, my advice to some was to run it through GeForce Now.

Interestingly, they also have “day passes”, making it practical for when you are out spending most of a day away from a gaming computer. Save files still synchronize to local games when you’re back.

 

Many of us only view a game's release in passing, and view it as an "event". Groundhog Smasher came out, it failed, and we don't hear of it again. Additionally, many of us associate "online" games with being "live service" - expecting the developers to announce a new skin, battle pass, game mechanic, or character every other week.

But some online games are just purely enjoyable, or get enough unremarkable patches, or sometimes don't even need a high playercount, to be enjoyed for years after the developers stopped emitting news.

This subject also gets confusing with cross-play games; even if one game has hardly anyone in its Steam playercount, sometimes between Playstation and Xbox there's just enough left to garner a following.

Which games do you play, or know about, that most people would've thought to be completely closed down, or at least had totally forgotten about?

 

Given how little libraries advertise, this is something that I found recently. Like many, I missed being able to easily/quickly rent games via Blockbuster. But, it turns out many librarians keep up with modern preferences and keep quite a few games for checkout. Even when the one closest library doesn't have something I want, it's often available in the others on the network.

Especially as Nintendo lifts their prices to $80, this may be something to seriously consider for people that have felt burned just two days into playing a game that isn't as fun as it looked in trailers.

 

We habitually spend a lot of time in daily routines, and we hear about cool stuff from the same sources. As such, we tend to lack awareness of things that don't have the capability to advertise broadly. So, what's something you expect many people don't hear about or consider for use in their life?
