So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

I am more or less satisfied with the apology and direction of retro achievements' response after pulling that set, and reeling in the lunatic that was banning everyone who criticized them for supporting a hate-speech game. They drew the correct lines, eventually. took friction, shouldn't have.

And your front page would merrily advertise it, and every other thing like it. Bad actors will enjoy flooding you with that content, since you think they're cool. You can have that audience if you insist, but it doesn't include me.

"Where's the line?"

Fallacious, slippery slope crap logic -- where's the line in the other direction? You gonna let people type up achievements for porn games with non-consensual premises? I'm sure the edgy names you give those will make it all worthwhile.

Archiving hyper racist Klan comic strips with the same energy as Garfield strips is not being "neutral," zero censorship is actually anti-freedom; You've created an environment where I no longer feel safe the N-bomb isn't gonna show up on my feed when I visit your front page. Site sucks. Farewell.

The Sting is a great movie, that everyone should watch, and rip Newman and Redford, its stars.

When they weren't busy making banger films, Redford was: an environmentalist, LGBT advocate, founder of the Sundance festival

Newman founded Newman's own; 100% of profit goes to charity (600m to date)

In honor of Robert Redford's passing, we're watching one of the greats.....

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
You didn’t even make it.
Knock it off.

Not a parody, it is literally 'yeah I'm a 'font' guy myself,' 'display here!' 'Padding! Spacing matters!'

An English translation of the PS2 cowboy bebop game is finally out!

If only there was another patch to make it a good game. It's a generic 3D beat-em-up, with clumsy shmup sections and you know I love those being tossed in.

Twitter warned me that someone tried to break into one of my accounts so I got on there to lock it up and deactivate it.

Turns out that 2-factor SMS authentication is only for 'premium users' lmao never seen anyone monetize this basic security feature in my life. That hellsite is beyond useless.

Yes and it'll do a worse job but at least it's somethin.

You can do a workaround to, temporarily, use the good version.

Alternatively, could just use a browser that hasn't lost the plot. That's my plan.
