Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

RIP to Itagaki, whose poisonous (but totally kayfabe) vendetta against Tekken was a relentlessly entertaining thread out of the early 2000s Japan dev news scene. You knew you were in for a treat if you got an interview with him.

But it seems it has issues beyond that because even the BIOS was undercooked and I don't even know how you can release something in such state.

I mean the only advantage it has over Steam Deck is that you can play competitive online games but do you really want to play those on a handheld?

So the Xbox Ally supposedly has better hardware but somehow still runs worse than the Steam Deck, mostly thanks to Windows.

Maybe if you install Bazzite it will be worth it? Or maybe you should spend your money on a product that at least feels like they actually cared about its quality.

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

Also from what they keep saying they could have turned most episodes of Season 5 into two episodes or even remove half of what they filmed to make it a watchable length, which would be better for everybody. I really don't want other shows to copy this, it would be a nightmare.

Current year Capcom doesn't deserve the franchises it inherited from the old Capcom. They really don't understand why they are in the position they're right now. Which explains why they're being stupid again.

Wrong. Leto being in it made me not want to watch it.

That said even though having Ryan Gosling as the lead wouldn't normally have that effect, not having Bruce Boxleitner in the movie feels disrespectful so I'm not sure I would watch it.

I mean you took Tron out of Tron how fucking dumb is that?

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

I knew Graf was a fucking dingbat what with texture filtering being turned on by default (it objectively looks like ass) but this is a new level of asshattery that I didn't know Graf was capable of.

the xbox 360 permanently ensorcelled a very specific kind of Guy who is shockingly prominent in game coverage so you get very special takes like "maybe consoles are just obsolete, they must be since xbox failed. Exclusives are obsolete too, because the platform with none of them failed."

The last episode of Peacemaker has issues but too many people are unable to see beyond the most surface level stuff. Sadly that's not new, it happens all the time even with things people like. Look at Breaking Bad for example, some people still think that Walter is an anti-hero and Skyler a villain.

Señor Worfwood @worfwood.bsky.social · 5d

Some people ask confused what's the point of Earth X being Earth X. It didn't need to have a point but... isn't it interesting that in the evil Earth everyone who is different is put in camps all their lives and now Flag wants to put everyone who is different in a prison planet in another dimension?

Señor Worfwood @worfwood.bsky.social · 5d

Some people even convinced themselves that the Flag at the end was Clayface beause the change was "too extreme" but no, it's him, he just finally let the mask off and the signs were there from the start. I guess people can't recognize someone's behavior as evil unless he acts like a cartoon villain.

Señor Worfwood @worfwood.bsky.social · 5d

People saying that Rick Flag Sr acts out of character in the last episode of Peacemaker and I wonder if we've been following the same character. You can already see his mind going in this direction at the end of Superman, and his behaviour has been suspicious during all this season of Peacemaker.
