G’doy… look at them… they got no ass. Assless, I say!

Bruh, if I had that at home, I’d be riding Hansibald wearing pots and pans, surveying my land.

nine eleven~

Well of course it is… you gotta render the service paid for lol let the Russian oligarchs get their money’s worth.

As a world community we’d add it to your list of crimes against humanity, in the sub section regarding British cousine.

I put peepee in the doodoofard.

What’s Meta need a bunch of fascist Christian nationalists for? It’s not like they have an overlapping demograph-oh yeah, ofc.

Mark Zuckerbot sure is a shrew bastard. Elon Musk wishes he had his computational brain.

Catsideration.

The problem with automating everything is that suddenly consumers have no money to spend on products and services… you know what that means.

Universal Basic Income

That, or an oligarchy class keeps a distance between themselves and 99% of the people via privatised security, or even national security.

So socialism, or a return to the aristocracy. Take your pick.

This, and Bangladesh. All places that rely on wage slavery, child labour and unethical working conditions, because that which is unethical is also very cheap.

You can’t really compete with slavery, because again: it’s very cheap, and the way the Chinese state leads Chinese farmers and villagers into social lock-ins, whereby they legally become stuck in an area where there’s only grueling, deadly, soul crushing and back breaking labour that leads to a life of poverty becomes a problem for the rest of the world if it’s used to manipulate the markets.

I do of course realise this article is about “too big to fail” companies that corner every market, but I also think that the west and the east needs to think about what it means to partake in a race to the bottom where wage slavery is part and parcel of the market. It creates conditions whereby competition involves who can make the most horrible living conditions in the world, and do you really want that?

There are Chinese labourer families who have been trying to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” for generations now, and it’s all thanks to other nations enabling the Chinese regime - especially the west.

Parents: no, u

This is why Godot is so important and that source available can be something the EU has to consider for all newly designed games. Sorry, small, mid and big time game studios, and screw you publishers, what we need is to make sure that the barrier to entry for game developers is significantly lowered. What, you think I’m taking about video game conservation? Leave that to AccursedFarms.

What I’m saying is that you can more easily pitch games to publishers, using assets and engines that are already “standardised”, like Bethesda’s several Rube Goldberg machines, if they are available. I’m looking at Fallout London as saying to myself: why isn’t this on Steam, Switch, and every other platform Fallout 4 can run on, being sold by Bethesda?

Even split prices, one for people who already owned Fallout 4, one for who recently purchased Fallout 4 if they don’t have Fallout 4 - if you wanna be pedantic. But the point remains the same: these lovely modder devs, though they shouldn’t be forced, could have pitched this game to Bethesda, even as an “off-universe” game. Whatever.

But then we remember the Fallout 76 Store. Oh my god, no. And DMCA takedowns, claims of copyright infringement - even though “modified works” doesn’t exclude software - and what about actual live services and competitive games? Like could the community make the server instead? Can it be something even the Olympic Committee has a hand in, so the game can be vetted for the Olympics?

Like update your EULA. “May be used, modified and deployed for free if it’s used for education and development purposes”. I’m not a lawyer, so take them scribblings with a grain of salt, but something like that would really just add an extra level in participation in schools, clubs, organisations, etc, even as an easy way to recruit and receive games and new worlds, for free.

Free the engine! Free all of the engines! NOW!!! “The secret sauce” fallacy has been stupid, is stupid right now, and will continue to be stupid into the future - unless we do something about it.

Free the engines!

Isn’t that also the mayor of some Californian town?

“You’re not fooling anyone, r/TigTooty - banned.”

r/BigBooty is going to be bone dry…

Unless Reddit actually monetizes the process for content creators, in which case, we need them to open up their books - because then they’ll be running a marketplace.

Well of course it’s a timeline, it’s the timeline of hell.

This is just trolls making it apparent how hard it is to protect the Skibidi intellectual property (never thought I’d have to write those words, and I hate everyone of you for it).

Like you either involve Valve and Garry’s Mode copyright, or it is transformed to something else. Funnily enough, this is also the process mods go through to become fully fledged standalones.

They spent a lot of GPU time trying to get it just right.

Retire - FFS. Spend time with your grandchildren.

Honestly, I view it as elderly abuse what he’s been going through, from both the political media and the democrats. Heck, even Obama pointed out the age barrier problem.

US politics is fucked in the head.

When it comes to hip-hop? There was an enlightenment period where my heart still lies, before the stigma of being a “conscious rapper”, “underground” - or even “backpacker”.

I call this record industry psy-ops, because the music media tried to use it against anyone that didn’t fit the bill. How do I know that?

THEY TRIED TO CALL JAY DILLA A BACKPACKER

Philistines, troglodytes, absolute cretins, scum of the earth. Dear god I hate the record industry.

Incidentally, if you want to go back into the past, I can recommend Quannum Records, the indie label of Blackalicious, Lifesavas, Latyrix and Lyrics Born.

Other than that, Def Jux, Rhymesayers (the mixtapes, get the friggin mixtapes), Stones Throw - ofc. Back when you needed an indie label.

Today we can happily say that bedroom productions will be the saving grace, mostly because it is seperate from the industry, so we do get a lot of great music.

But it also proves the industry is a homogeneous bottleneck.
