  • honestly aside from explicitly right wing outlets, I don’t see any particular bias against harris. most outlets will almost alway criticize trump on everything while most of the time they praise harris and sometimes they criticise her on her more progression policies (because most of the media tilts fiscal conservative). it’s rather more of a perceptions of the audience thing. trump has done so many outlandish shit that now most of his bullshit gets filtered out as noise.

    also i don’t wanna be mean but the question “Why does it feel standards are much higher for Harris than Trump?” sounds like it’s coming from an agitated"vote blue no matter who" democrat who is baffled about why would people not vote for the obviously better candidate.

    there are a lot of reasons as you said “this race is STILL either 50/50 or tilt Trump”. maybe it’s because she’s black or female and there are a lot of racist and misogynists out there, maybe it’s because of the electoral college, maybe it’s because of the hold the MAGA cult has over its members, or maybe it’s because harris is refusing to stop arming and helping a genocide and that is turning people off.

    the Harris campaign right now can only change one of these factors. even if you plan on voting, lie on the polls and organise and protest against the genocide because if enough people do this to force the hand of the Harris campaign then it wouldn’t be a close race at all.

    jagex is a very shitty company and shitty companies don’t want money, they want all the money. they will kill this game eventually. I hate jagex, from jagex accounts which is just a blatant attempt to phase out 3rd party tools and lock people to their ecosystem (which also fucked me over because the new account system blocks my entire country) to their customer service which is horrendous.

    now they’re raising prices to appear more profitable probably to trick another prospective buyer and get tossed around again.






  • i don’t interact with chuds so you’re right. that list is absurd lmao. half of these games are woke because you can choose your pronouns. imagine buying a game, downloading it, installing it, opening it and then immediately closing and refunding the game because they’ve implemented one of the basic features of the English language.

    i love how g@mers say they like games while simultaneously hating most of them for absurd reasons.


  • I’ve started playing Jenny LeClue: Detectivu, which is one of those children point and click games that was crowdfunded in the early 2010’s that is almost played exclusively by adults to feel like children again. it’s a good game i doubt it’ll be long but it’s fun and cute.

    probably gonna play submachine: legacy after it which is an interesting puzzler by the looks of it.

    I really don’t have any concrete intuition as to what the stop killing games initiative is trying to achieve. can someone help? do they want companies to keep up the servers forever? or force them to distribute all parts of their software necessary for thr game to function? or just more disclosure in advertising material about how the support of the game is not indefinite?





  • most people are focusing on the free labour roblox is extracting from kids but from the article:

    Further claims stated, according to Turkish media, that Roblox hosted virtual parties promoting pedophilia and that “robux,” the platform’s virtual currency, was being distributed by bot accounts to encourage children’s involvement in these activities, and excess presence of gambling sites and their predatory tactics.

    so it looks like roblox was banned because of bad moderation in regards to gambling and sexual predators, both of which are massive issues of the platform. overall i think this is a good move which hopefully will push roblox to do better.
