here's the solution to the "video games can't be about dark/sexual topics" problem: books! you know how books can have all kinds of horrible things in them?
we bring back that early-CRPG thing where games came with a book and the video game tells you to read stuff out of the book at certain times

Steam is like how California operates as a second regulatory structure for the US because it's too big to not obey
Steam being a pseudo monopoly is complicated. It's obviously got downsides, but the AI disclosure requirement makes it so realistically everything releasing on PC has to disclose or risk getting banned right off the PC platform forever and it's the only way we'd find out about some of this shit.

Steam is a notorious black box. They have content-affecting policies that they do not list and will not tell developers. They do not have spokespeople or contacts for studios to interact with.
Steam is a rent-seeking machine. You put game in, it sells game, and 70% of the revenue comes back out.

The Steam Machine will live or die on its pricing, I think, but it's hard not to be bullish. SteamOS is fantastic and the Steam Deck has been my most-used gaming machine since it came out nearly four years ago

this is great and all, but the real question is how many dorks will come out of the woodwork to scream "just get a steam machine/frame/gabecube" whenever someone posts any other console
jokes aside, very interested to see where this goes

I wish there was a place I could go to download high-quality versions of memes that wasn't KnowYourMeme (which uncritically hosts fascist, antisemitic, misogynist and homophobic memes and frequently features them on "Trending") or Reddit (which is Reddit).

It’s kind of crazy that Nazis and the KKK have recently become controversial bad guys because a bunch of bitter online dorks assumed it was about them
Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post-Civil War era
• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave
• Players would fight the emerging KKK
• Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.
No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.
The silence is deafening.

Bluesky has banned Aftermath journalist Nathan Grayson for 24 hours for quote tweeting his own article with the words "rest in piss," which apparently is now against the rules here.

Bluesky's moderation is a joke, seemingly pushed by a right-wing mass reporting campaign to suspend their users over nothing, but it doesn't occur to them that those right-wing fascists want this site shut down/gone, and Bluesky is gladly cutting its own legs out from under itself to help them.

Just a few fucking months ago they were mocking the suicide of a trans girl. That these soulless hacks would even try to claim a moral high ground when they consistently espouse dehumanizing, dangerous shit and eschew empathy towards anyone they don’t understand makes me furious.
