I want the folks out there who swallowed this disinfo campaign so readily to watch this and really think about
1) why they were so ready to believe it
2) why they didn't look deeper into it
3) who stands to gain from this, and all defamation against this guy

The Hasan Piker dog collar incident shows that proponents of the surveillance state, like Larry Ellison, who claimed that mass video surveillance would lead to more accountability, are catastrophically wrong.

Hasan Piker and the Future No One Is Ready For

The backlash that Piker is facing shows the consequences of a world where everyone is constantly being recorded and our internet is built to reward outrage and controversy.

I remember arguing with someone about how the xbox ally would suffer from having windows because of bloatware

And they kept insisting that no, they will actually optimize windows for this and kept saying that shit

lmao

So I guess sex work is only ok if just tech oligarchs are profiting off it and not marginalized women or minorities who depend on it to survive?

I can agree with the idea of more buffs than nerfs, but if something can get a 30% power reduction and remains super powerful, then it should be nerfed lol

Walls @wallls.bsky.social · 16h

Thinking about this because I saw it happen with silksong, they nerfed thread storm for being the absolute best silk skill to just being the slightly more powerful skill in raw power

And some people act like this made it unviable ._.

Is funny how people react when something truly OP in a game gets the needed nerf and yet it is still very powerful

Like how the mace got nerfed during snapshots... and it can still kill with no enchantments from a 2 blocks jump

And somehow many people act like this "killed the mace"

When I think of A.I. I think of asbestos. To begin with everyone thought Asbestos was amazing, folk used it in everything. Then they started learning it was dangerous, research was done, they stopped using it, thou for some the damage was already done. Stop using A.I and limit the damage it's doing.

what the actual fuck did youtube do to their GUI on browser????

It sucks so much, everything is so pointlessly spaced out and makes it such so bad

this doesn't even please the investors just roll it back

Walls @wallls.bsky.social · 1d

it being a radius parameter would be awesome as well as yeah have it transition slowly

if that was the case, the cave biomes could have the fog lower as well as other biomes could play with the fog or something, would be awesome

A bit cheesy but is alright

Walls @wallls.bsky.social · 1d

Cool thing that can be done with today's snapshot, even if the transition is so sudden and would be awesome if that got improved

Is clearly something they just didn't account for considering the dense fog is meant to be nether exclusive

I played some of the demo, enough to convince me it is going to be good

I really like the dialogue and the art, I adore the faces characters do while talking

And the bad guy is a solid written funny lord of chaos

The gameplay is also very solid, plays similar to HK but doesn't feel like a clone

Hey fellow Video Creators, here's some easy ways YOU can increase your ENGAGEMENT!

- Deliberately mispronounce a word
- Put a Discord notification sound at a random point in the video
- If your video includes Balatro footage, play a suboptimal hand on purpose

This me being all tinfoil hat, almost fan fiction, but I rather believe this than to actually believe a growing team of people are just all this incompetent

Walls @wallls.bsky.social · 2d

Easy for anyone working at gamefreak to grow a dislike or resentment to higher ups and allowed the leaks to happen just to get on them and bring some transparency towards what gamefreak actually does, despite the games final product

Walls @wallls.bsky.social · 2d

This mixed with some of the leak stuff makes me believe that the issue has stemmed a lot from higher ups all the way to the pokemon company

And makes sense, we saw their non pokemon project a few months ago and the quality difference was a lot

So is clear working with pokemon is their problem

Walls @wallls.bsky.social · 2d

Honestly I subscribe to the idea that someone at gamefreak allowed the leaks due to some grievance with higher ups

I don't believe in the idea of a team of people all just being this incompetent like the main games suggest
