this is the future libertarians want

Mainstream gaming, is on aggregate, getting worse and worse over time. Everyone wants to feel empowered to stop that from happening.

You could punch upward, targeting management of stuidos and publishers.

You could look inward, and make a commitment to sincerely boycott games from companies that consistely release games in an unfinished state, use dark patterns to exploit gambling addictions for profit, mistreat their staff, etc.

Or you could punch down, and target LGBT creators, who are largely individual contributors and completely unrelated with any of the root causes of the decline in game quality. But this one is SO much easier than the other two, so maybe you’ll do this one so that you can feel like you’re doing something without really having to do anything. Especially since it confims some things you heard from politicians that need to distract you from how their only policy is to make life better for rich people.

he’s known for ages and had this one in his back pocket just waiting for the moment when you finally come out

recurring cost to rent a multiplayer server though, maybe that was it

some kids call their father “daddy” smh

They are and they must. There is no path forward that doesn’t massively disinvest from personal vehicles.

due to the way causality works it would be pretty difficult to tell a story in any genre where someone’s opportunities in life are not strongly correlated to circumstances from their past that are outside of their control (like their birth)

And he’s right! It might not be as good as the games that came before it or after it but that bar is so high that it can still be a great game despite it

Almost always food

we’re all forced to work within the system, normies do so without questioning it

These extensions work first by looking at the contents of the page you’re on to detect a paywall, and then make modifications to the page that remove the paywall. There’s no way for the browser-creators to guarantee that the extension isn’t also silently adding a hidden element that captures everything that you type into that website, in addition to the paywal removal, so they’re basically trying to warn you such a thing could happen.

And that is a genuine risk from every extension in the addons store, but I would say that risk is potentially even higher with a piracy extension installed from a github relese. (Not this one in particular per se, which I have no opinion about, just in general.) If it makes you uncomfortable, a reasonable compromise could be to create a new browser profile for use only with this extension, or maybe even use a different browser entirely than your daily driver.

In the browser I use this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitch_5/

yeah this is exactly how it works for “self-driving” cars: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/11/cruise-av-operations-require-1-5-remote-employees-per-vehicle-report-claims/

this reads like a bill wurtz lyric

Hard to tell the logo from the low res but it’s because it’s using playstation’s streaming game service.

Been like a decade since I touched usenet but I do recall that requests were pretty common. Especially since the content expires. With a 5 year old torrent there’s a decent chance you’ll find a couple of seeders even on a public tracker and get it eventually, but with usenet that stuff does eventually rot away and you’ll have to request a reup.

I know it’s possible to rip nebula videos with yt-dlp but I don’t know of any sites hosting them

I’ve definitely used VLC to play DVD isos on PC, so there’s a pretty good chance it works on the android version too

Using a commercial VPN does not “hide” your data, it makes it available to a different party. Sometimes this is still useful, like when your ISP has a monoply and is overtly hostile to what you’re doing with your internet connection, or you just want a simple bypass for region blocking. But for a lot of people it’s lateral move or maybe even a downgrade considering the added latency and that many VPN services are also quite shady.
