I hate AI so much man, I bet you anything that’s why coders specifically Words cannot begin to describe how upset I am at all of today’s news, what a horiffic series of events. My heart goes out to everyone affected, I can’t imagine. I wish things were different and I’m so sorry that this happened.

If they ended up decimating id Software's tech team then I have no faith in anything they'll ever do again under the current leadership. Between last week and today's news...I just don't know what to say at this point.

Sooo... "Dr. Acton said she agrees with the law prohibiting transgender women and girls from participating in women's and girls' sports. 'I do not support boys playing in girls sports. This is already settled law in Ohio, and as governor I will enforce and uphold the law,' Dr. Acton said."

Ohio Senate President Rob McColley (R.,
Napoleon), Mr. Ramaswamy's running mate, said every Democrat in the legislature voted against House Bill 68.
"Does Amy Acton agree with the liberal extremists in her own party?" Mr. McColley said. "If the press was doing its job, it would ask her."

"I do not support boys playing in girls sports. This is already settled law in Ohio, and as governor I will enforce and uphold the law," Dr. Acton said.
"As a doctor, public servant, and a mom, I will always stand up for fairness and protect kids' health and safety," she continued. "While my opponent tries to divide us, I'm laser-focused on issues that matter most to Ohioans: lowering costs, cracking down on corruption, and cutting taxes for working families."

Happy Pride Month, Ohio! Wishing everyone a celebratory June filled with kindness, love, and respect for our common humanity.

FELLOW TFCON ATTENDEES! I am considering bringing my spare Deathsaurus to sell at the convention. The outer box has been opened, but the actual toy packaging is still sealed. $500 CAD and I'll mule him to the show in my luggage for you for pickup there. If anyone is interested, send me a DM.

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

My child loves going to the library and checking out a new video game every week. Going digital only eliminates libraries as a way people can access games.

Imagine the sales pitch Sony PlayStation 6 Digital only, $1000, no more backwards compatibility with your old discs, ultra lengthy cross-gen period, slow first-party release cadence...what a steal! Is this some sort of challenge? Anger your fanbase as much as possible and see what you can sell?

There's a lot of reasons why Playstation no longer putting games on discs is bad but I think it has to be said that even if you don't mind digital gaming, Playstation is consistently the most annoying platform to actually gift digital games to someone, in that there's no way to do it at all

If you're curious what a non-preservationist gaming ecosystem looks like, you can look at the mobile stores, where most of the shit you remember does not exist in any form anymore.

were up to me I probably wouldn't eliminate physical media for my forthcoming console right on the heels of delisting hundreds of digital movies from people's libraries and while on the cusp of a world historical digital storage supply squeeze, but I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks.

Frozen treats: a thread in no particular order The Klondike Bar, depicted here in its Krunch variant. You can see the shell is almost entirely intact. These do not exist in this condition. Has to be eaten very quickly. Is generally messy. You will attract ants. Otherwise delicious.

Digital storage is more expensive than it has been in a long time, with no signs of slowing down. Markets need to *grow* to keep producing results for these companies — by limiting your audience to only people who can afford $1000+ machines and pay $70 rentals, I truly do not know how this continues
