Hi! I'm Tau. I like to play games and tinker with computers, specially programming and Linux.
I'm very chill but also a little anxious about talking with people so keep that in mind!

it might be hard to believe, but Minecraft 1.12.2 is actually the final version of that game! any later versions of the game are actually a fork of it, known as Minceraft, that many people have been tricked by the developers into believing it is called Minecraft

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Rebecca Heineman is probably best known for coding 3DO Doom from zero in 10 weeks after being told it just needed "polish" - the licensee didn't understand what porting involved.

Slap VISA and MasterCard, call them, complain.
They cannot control the content people consume.
This is erasure, this goes against human rights, even.
Never. Stop. Calling.
This kind of thing needs to be portrayed on tv until it gets solved.

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne:
hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o...
Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support.
I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.
