"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

I feel like the worst part about the current use of the word "indie" is that it means:
- "solo bedroom dev jobs by one trans lesbian furry in her bedroom"
- "15 people went to a publisher and got money to make a game"
- "this game is made by ex ubisoft employees and 500 other people"

theres always been a massive bias towards games that make big money in what theyre allowed to depict and its deeply frustrating that people arent getting that the bias is because of money and not whatever grifters are selling
It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

Section 230 serves no useful purpose? Except for the fact that it’s vital for free speech on the internet!
Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW.

The end of Section 230 would mean the end of all but the largest websites that allow user-generated content at all - and even the largest would be radically changed and locked down

It would probably mean the end of your fav streamers' careers

Call your senators and your representatives about this

I am 100% pro Larian doing whatever pervert shit it wants and I can’t wait for another game where you can like, fuck a squid or whatever, but it really does further drive home the two-tier system of enforcement on storefronts. Bg3 contains basically everything small games get banned for

Hey everyone going WELL TIME TO PLAY MORE FORTNITE TO HUNT DOWN PEOPLE WEARING HARRY POTTER STUFF

No. Stop playing Fortnite. They're partnering with Rowling and Harry Potter in 2025, with full knowledge of what that decision means. Stop supporting them. Stop playing the game.

You playing the game but bullying HP players is still *you playing the game*. If you're buying cosmetics, you're putting money into a game that just decided to buddy up with the world's biggest transphobe who has said she views support for Harry Potter as approval for her actions.

Just stop.

"ai game won goty" clair obscur started dev in 2019. if a tiny team that primarily doesn't speak english experimented with gen ai when it was new, didn't realize any of it was actually still in the game on release, and patched it out it immediately when informed... who cares. it's not a poison psyop

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

WE'RE DOING OUR OWN AWARDS SHOW!!!

We've been working on this for a few weeks and there's some genuinely fun surprises and skits some of my friends have worked on. It's gonna be silly!

People don’t get this. Epic will still pay the TERF royalties. So you are still contributing to her evil transphobic harassment and hate campaigns.

The perfect example of TINSTAAFL here.

Let it be the worst selling free game they have ever put out. Let it fail miserably.

You know that thing where it's like "Hey maybe cops shouldn't get the money they get from fines and tickets because it creates perverse incentives?"

That's basically an awards show having trailers and announcements.
