Noobs using public trackers then getting scary letters from their ISP.

Bianco’s award will be presented by the former attorney general Jeff Sessions

Definitely feels like the writers quit a while back.

Is the joke here his name is Chad? Maybe I'm missing the rest.

I played a lot of Sierra games in the 80s. I grew away from computers for a while and at some point in the 90s, Sierra sold out. They were basically drug through the mud, canned all its devs and became a brand rather than a software company. Sierra was also the first publisher of Half Life.

I was reading the history of Sierra there other night on Wikipedia and was sad because so many great games came out of that company and most were memorable. Hard to see that in any gaming these days

Back to my point, I started thinking that Valve saw what happened to Sierra and Newell decided fairly early on that they would be a software company and publisher and not sell out to a third party or take the company into the market. Pure speculation on my part, but they got their start sort of at the end of life of a bunch of 80s software companies. EA is certainly a shadow of what it was but it's still around at least as a brand.

Mostly I'm just tired of smoothbrains complaining about the president when they are probably doing jack shit to change FPTP voting at their local, county and state levels. I know for some folks sarcasm doesn't come across too clearly on the Internet.

That's why I'm shifting to voting for Republicans. Only one way to accelerate the enshittification of politics and that's by electing religious nutcases that will enforce their system on everyone.

I too welcome our next Republican overlord.

I didn't suggest rich kids were immune?

I wonder if Tuberville was involved in an sports related sex abuse scandals like his colleague Jim Jordan was.

Imagine how fucked and shitty your life has to be, to be a 12 or 13 year old trying to carjack people.

Yes. I would like to see a DIY selfhosted replacement for play services that is a direct swap in, in the sense that as an end user I couldn't tell the difference (notifications primarily)

Edit: wow! Didn't realize selfhosting replacements for Google services is so controversial!

You'll be able to feel yourself rot.

There was a game called The Culling. The sequel was crap and it bombed immediately. The first one was excellent though.

This is good to know as I'll be seeing up a new opnsense router in the next few weeks.

Burning it creates enormous clouds of Trioxin 2-4-5.

Don't you understand? Only a for-profit, privately held (or even better, publicly traded!) company can save us!

Politics draws bad people. The worst of the bad usually end up with Republicans for one reason or another, but it's not always the case.
