Also because they can rush the console port out quicker without having to drop a half-baked PC port.

For what its worth, I remember GTA V looking good, being preformant, and having the same amount of bugs you'd expect to find in any other open world sandbox game. No more, no less. Also the options panel was reasonably detailed.

That being said the ports for GTA III/VC/SA are clunky as shit, and the framerate dependency is a fucking joke that shouldn't have been considered acceptable even back then. Even GTA IV had a lot of issues, but those are all like 15-20 years old at this point. It's almost as irrelevant as complaining about Max Payne not working under Win XP, despite being less than a year old when the OS launched.

I'd like to think there's a timeline where musk is both not a chud (within the context of being a billionaire) and also actually developed the catgirls he promised us.

"Its only free speech when I get to say the N word."

I had a single parent that worked for 50+ hours a week and my older brother only really played attention as much as he had to, usually fucked off and did something else by the time I was 9/10 or whatever.

What makes you think its not both?

Also the difference, its not conflating if its an actual issue.

Catholic Priests and Republican Senators are statistically a lot more likely to diddle your kids than a transwoman.

That's why its conflation when they do it. Because they're making up an issue to take away front he real ones.

I think this should be case by case. People who abuse pets, children, or family members? Absolutely not.

At that same end when I was younger and working at Micky d's, there was this dude who went to prison for stabbing someone in a barfight. He claims the other person started it, in reality? Who fucking knows, they where both probably being drunken dipshits.

I don't think that guy is gonna go beat his dog though.

On one hand I don't trust random cracks not to have miners in them.

On the other I wouldn't run a proprietary video game outside of a sandboxed VM any who.

When I was younger there wasn't any money to be made off of games. The best you got was in-game currency to buy hats with or whatever. Roblox made its money off of builders club and ads run on free accounts.

There where some games run by adults, but most where young adults who started developing their game(s) in their teens. The majority where goofy messes filled with random pre-built assets.

There definitely where pedos on the platform. It was an online kids game in the oughts. Online moderation was basically like the fucking wild west back then.

If you earned 100m in your lifetime, you've only had a 10th of a billion dollars.

Musk has hundreds of billions of dollars.

That's a very, very big difference. He could literally set aside enough money for 10 very wealthy life times, and not even make a dent in his play money.

Jesus I forget the shits still illegal in other places, hanging out over here in my blue state.

Another reason to never visit TERF Island I guess, lmao.

being asked to give it up in the first place. Kik explained to him that they have to fight this or lose their tradmark because thats how trademark law works.

I'm not a lawyer but from what I know that's a load of shit. There's nothing stopping a trademark holder from granting licensing rights to third parties, without charge, to use their trademark in specific ways.

They chose not to because its easier, and most people won't know better, so they roll over.

His response was basically "haha fuck you". He probably could've asked for a couple thousand and just changed the name of his project and everything would've been fine.

This is the correct response, even if Kik would've given him money. It's his package, he got the name first. Corpos can eat shit, just because its not the easy choice, or the choice you would've made doesn't mean it was wrong. That package should've stayed down on principal.

People still give a shit? I thought it ended when they all became x86 boxes and everyone just started purchasing solely on what exclusives they prefer because that's basically one of the only two reasons not to play on PC.

Fuck off, all religions are fucking stupid and need to die. They have no place in human civilization anymore. It is time to move on.

Isreal is a religious ethnostate, in the same way most of the middle east is, in the same way large swaths of the bible belt try (and many times succeed) to be.

The only difference between these three is the amount of money and leeway they're given to enact their stupid bullshit. Its time the adults in the room stopped putting up with it.

You can throw around "edgy reddit atheist" all you want, but were not the group of people enabling and engaging in some of humanities most heinous acts over the fact that you where too stupid to question your parents. I'm so tired of wearing kid gloves around religious folk.

Really sad to see this happen. I remember reading lua docs in the late 00's when I was like nine or whatever. Shit was the first real exposure I had to programming.

Maybe its just because I was a kid but it seemed purer at first. Like it was really there just to get kids programming.

As someone who was born in 99 and remembers how bad the 00s where for queer people? No thanks.

Its weird to think about but 2018 is almost as long ago now. They're basically where MySpace was in 2013/4. When the fuck did we get old?

Azer did nothing wrong.

Laurie Voss made a bad call and should feel bad.

The principals of free software was, is, and always will be more important than every single dollar in silicon valley combined.

Been reading through the comics. Good shit but also the way they handle queer issues is very 2005...

It'd best read with an understanding of what it was to be queer in the oughts. Also the one trans character is another "bearded dude in a dress" caricature which sucks bad.

That being said, probably one of the few pieces of media that's willing to show just how black the heart of a fascist really is. No punches held.

She said slut referring to herself, and within the context of being a slut for something that isn't inherently sexual.

Edit: Nope misread that. Either way there are a lot more contexts where one can use slut and not be shitty.

Well one of those is ableist while the other ones are just fun.
