ELABORATION: ~12 Terabytes of a Steam2 content server were just leaked. This is the old system Valve used prior Steampipe, meaning nothing in the leak is from after 2013. Inside this content server is the relevant files for about ~20 pre-release Portal 2 Builds. (Cont. in replies!) ⬇️

never thought it'd ever happen never thought it'd be with this many builds.

-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.

this is a real bummer to see from someone i looked up to, and what a rancid take it is. the stuff on our site was not "free", that's all hard work people had to put in to discover *and document* it. and hosting it sure isn't free!

I've grown to dislike TCRF recently as they rely entirely on the community for their information, yet they've got a bug up their ass about bots scraping their site for info. They want content for free, but they don't want to share it.

Given recent conversations elsewhere, I want to clarify:

I respect the the concept of TCRF and I wish them continued success. This is not a hate post. I shouldn't have said "dislike TCRF" as it implies I have something against the site itself; I don't. I'm just not fond of some of the recent choices they made.

We're holding a fundraiser for over 800 dev discs, which include early builds for Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, Icewind Dale, Clayfighter 64, Run Like Hell, Star Trek New Worlds, Descent, and more! DM us or email hp@hiddenpalace.org if you'd like to help!

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.

A screenshot of the Wayback Machine page when trying to access the suppressed Amnesty report into anti-trans organisation and networks in the UK saying "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine".

Aw yeah! My bestest friend Grok GPT generated me some sweet shoulder pads that painfully reconfigure my skeleton to be the same proportions as an average adult male! It hurts so fucking bad! My bones feel like they're gonna burst out of my body every time I move! Let's do it to it! Fuck!

Saber finally added the AI disclosure to Steam for Rideshare “Stimulator” and it’s even worse than I said it was. I can see why the CEO crashed out when I pointed it out.

Al Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses Al

Generated Content like this:
The main Campaign story, characters, and dialogue are written by a team of human writers. Al tools are used for voice generation and some localization.

The optional Free Ride mode includes Al-generated passenger missions and localized dialogue. Free Ride mode is separate from the main Campaign and can be skipped by players who prefer to experience only human-written narrative content.

The game also includes a mix of radio stations featuring human-made music and Al-generated music. Stations containing Al-generated music are clearly labeled as such in the game.

honestly if your game is a pure or heavily focused coop experience then you MUST offer an option for friends/others to play it for free instead of having to buy it themselves whether that's through a "friends pass" like with Josef Fares' games, or selling extra copies in a discounted bundle

Why does this happen in every autocomplete search/filter??? And how is this not seen as a problem??? If I'm in a rush and want to launch Affinity Photo, I might type one letter too many before I hit enter and the selection will have changed from what I last perceived it to be. THIS IS BAD.
