Blizzard, What Are You Doing? Signed: Nathan Grayson, Eight Years Old
  • The fact they are in contention after 4y is evidence enough they mean jack shit for either side. Once they are codified into law they lose value in attracting single issue voters like you. I reiterate, from the outside looking in, same same. There's a reason even though AOC saw good congressional results personally, her district swung wildly red for the presidential results. I just can't wrap my head around backstabbing Bernie to nominate a female Kissinger for an election and 8y later you're still paying the price. There's no left in the US, just far right and further right...

  • Blizzard, What Are You Doing? Signed: Nathan Grayson, Eight Years Old
  • I refuse to click links of articles written from Grayson, a "journalist" that even on the niche games reporting field managed to break every single item of the journalism code of ethics https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp

    Boycott bloggers stealing jobs from real journalists.

  • Freelance Video Game Journalists Are Propping Up The Industry, And Many Are Being Paid Dogshit In Return
  • Hey man, I was a Hardforum user for as long as I can Remember and Kyle was a straight shooter. Even when he jumped to Intel, nobody gave a second thought about his honesty! The problem is that for every Kyle, we have 10 Ryan Shrouts. He was (unlike kyle) one of these writers that was consistently on a high horse talking down to the peasants. Kyle had a short fuse but you always knew where he was coming from. I don't think lemmy users would dislike Kyle at all.

    Off topic: Kyle was one of the few CPU testers besides Ian of Anandtech (much later) that recognized the Utility of running benches at 720p to remove GPU bottlenecks. HardOCP is missed to this day.

  • Revealed: The Israel Lobbyists Writing America’s News
  • I'd be reluctant to trust an outlet that has a story about a CIA conspiracy to promote homosexuality on the same page as OP's titular post. Sadly, lemmy (like reddit) in general, for now, has a pretty low standard when it comes to linked news. That said, the Zionist lobby is very much a real, documented and registered (with lobbyists and think tanks) phenomenon of the anglosphere. The media bias in favour of Israel (in direct contrast to what's happening in E Europe) is very much a product of the fact that Israel is one of the last bastions of western colonialism and a very useful lightning rod for antagonists in the surrounding countries which allows shipping through the suez canal to be mostly left alone.

  • Metaphor: ReFantazio's success is further proof that politics are good in videogames, actually—no matter what reactionaries tell you
  • The original comment is still available. At no point did I complain about diversity in games, I complained about incompetence in games and lauded indie games. I see you're having a Quixotic moment and are arguing with a figment of your imagination. In fact, one could argue my point is the exact opposite, clumsy amateurish depictions of diversity do not do the importance of the topic justice. I understand not everyone can be as talented as Naughty Dog (Amy Henning is the GOAT) but at least something passable would be desirable. Keep fighting windmills.

  • Survey Finds 21% of European Games Industry Professionals Were Laid Off in Last Year
  • Beyond inflation woes, we can thank the CHIPS act and similar for this. Biden basically waved a wad of money to European tech companies to de-localize and even staples with decades of history like CDPR took it, laid off a shit ton of people in Poland, and opened a studio with subsidized employment in the US.

  • Metaphor: ReFantazio's success is further proof that politics are good in videogames, actually—no matter what reactionaries tell you
  • Yes yes, whatever illusion you created in your head to make me some kind of monstrous being because I dared question the ubiquitous distortion of the class message in favour of bourgeoisie invented flags. I'm also the boogey man on my free time. It's funny, all the replies I got fit just in line with the ones I'd get in r/conservative every time I shared climate change evidence.

  • PlayStation Uses Safety Concerns To Defend Steam PSN Account Requirements
  • As much as I respect that stance I really think people are being trained into this nothing burger by the media. Who cares if they ask for an account? Like, some middle management at sony wants to pump numbers and people need to give an email address. I truly don't understand what's the big deal, granted, I don't buy sony games on PC so I don't have a horse in the race. Like, I can't play Apex or Destiny on Linux because "safety" (lol, hackerman intensifies) but the media's race is bashing a PSN account for "reasons" when we're being forced to use a spyware OS that enforces its monopoly at every turn? Like, it says on the blurb that a PSN account is needed, don't buy the game if that's not kosher, vote with the wallet. I truly am amazed at how the media shifts the narrative away from the actual relevant issues and people just fall for it.
