The price increase is absurd. I cancelled too, because while I do play quite a bit, this level of corporate greed is completely unjustifiable to me. If rather watch playthroughs of new games on Twitch or YouTube and then buy them a year later on sale than pay this bloody much, eff that.

Can you bend the knee so hard it breaks? Because that’s what all those companies are doing…

Are you using a time machibe to access Amazon in the past? Because for me the experience looks more like this:

1. I type in “amazon.com” in my browser
2. I use the search bar and get a bunch of sponsored results that are not what I was searching for at all and all use the same garbage photoshopped photos
3. I scroll through pages upon pages of irrelevant dropshipped garbage offered by companies like JHUVOY, BRILGOVA and other random letters.
4. I finally find something that looks like it’s not a cheap knockoff
5. I add it to my shopping cart and click through offers for Amazon prime and offers for dropshipped garbage that I might want to add to my cart.
6. I proceed to payment

Sigh, I really miss the old internet, I truly do…

Because there are so few Palestinians left alive that they can be surveyed using binoculars, pen and paper now? Sure, it’s great they stopped, but they sure took they sweet time…

Looking forward to how Disney rephrases “because at the time we thought gargling a shriveled orange ballsack would be the most profitable option for us” into a nice lengthy shareholder notice…

Replace the stars on the flag with his face too while you’re at it! Hell, change the name of the country to Charliekirkistan too, why the hell not?!

Fucking hell, this really is the dumbest timeline…

I have a game, where every time I hear or read “the economy” in the news, I replace it with “rich fucks’ money” in my head - works really well, and in many cases is actually closer to reality than the original news…

“Crime crackdown”?! I wish media would stop blindly parroting the narrative. When Trump feeds you a dookie between two slices of bread and says it’s a Gourmet Trumpburger don’t call it a “Gourmet Trumpburger” - it’s clearly a shit sandwich, report it as such for fuck’s sake…

Damn, this sucks, I had no idea! Thanks for posting this - time to look for an alternative… :(

Literally and with no exaggeration, death panels. You know, the ones Republicans were yelling about a few years ago. Those exact fucking ones.

Did the boat have “D R U G S” in Times New Roman font written on the side of it?

I’m a simultaneous interpreter, and it’s a bloodbath out there. Partially because anyone who needs a translator or an interpreter by default is unable to verify the accuracy of the translation/interpretation - they can only tell if it’s smooth, believable, and such. And, AIs are great at being believable even when they make shit up…

Wonder how many Native Americans get falsely imprisoned and/or deported for “looking foreign” to those fucks…

They can be fascinated all they want, but I don’t think that’ll help them much, because they’re after a different thing. Indie games are fun, because people who make decisions about them largely like games and want to make games. With AAA, the decision makers are soulless MBA leeches that largely like money and want to make more money…

And, just like that, no more modded apps, no more custom stores, everything is tightly under control unless you install a custom ROM (and then it’s no more banking apps,etc.). And it’s all for our own good, after all, big brother Google knows what’s best for us!

Yeah, sorry, I don’t care, still not buying the game or the DLC. Maybe I’m harsh, but I don’t give a crap if the game originally had only half a clan planned and now it expanded to six - locking a significant portion of the game behind launch day DLC is a scummy, greedy and user-hostile practice that I will not support, no matter the reason.

It’s completely insane to me that businesses deal with it without suing their butts off. I can understand individual customers, they tend to be docile, but how did all this not cause massive losses to a litigious company yet?

…and it shows. God damn it shows, almost every week it seems, with yet another fuckup.

Amen to that.

I settled on Manjaro for now because it’s super nice and easy to use - I heard it had some issues with updates on the past, but for the last year or so it’s been really nice for me, so I’ll wait until the first screwup before distro-hopping somewhere else :)

Jesus fucking Christ, is Windows just 100% vibe coded now? How do those fuckups keep happening? It’s honestly unbelievable…

I’m so glad I decided to move away from it - I still have no idea what I’m doing in Linux, but then again I never had a lot of idea about what I’m doing in Windows either, so it’s all good :)
