What’s the street address of Google again? I’m already homicidally insane, I’ll start by burning them TO THE FUCKING GROUND.

You misunderstood. I’m a power user… on Windows. I don’t have a choice but to switch to a Linux distro now, but I have found 3 different issues requiring use of the command line to fix over the course of trying to shift to linux over the past 6 months. I understand a command line, what I don’t know is the lingo. Without experience in that lingo, I literally cannot properly figure out many features I could access in windows purely using mouse and keyboard shortcuts, even if it meant navigating an extensive menu system.
Now imagine someone who uses windows because they have dyslexia trying to use the command line. Or how about VR? If I’m understanding discussion from another site I frequent, Wayland or some other critical code for VR is not able to be handled by Linux and even if you run a windows install on the side it’s now going to be windows-fucking-11 bullshit until someone gets VR working on linux, and I do not have the coding knowledge to fix that myself because I don’t have 30 fucking years to become an expert in that shit. I’m not saying windows is good or that linux is bad, I’m saying this whole situation makes me want to fucking burn Redmond to the ground becausae it literally is holding my LIFE hostage. I live on the internet, I don’t interact with “reality” because I’m fucking sick of how things have unfolded over the past ~15 years (2008+) and if you force me to do so, I do in fact become physically violent. Don’t take away my circus or there won’t be anyone left to worship big brother, I’ll fucking kill you all.
As someone willing to switch to Linux now that I’d be forced into using Windows 11, shut up. Linux is, unfortunately, not ever perfect. Windows has become functional enough for the average user, Steam OS has a corporation behind it and still requires command line and other hacks to function.
Unfortunately, we’re fucked unless we start taking more drastic actions against big tech. The only way this will be fixed is public demonstration demanding that OSes and other critical IT software be open source, whether that demonstration is peaceful… or not so peaceful.
I’m at the point that violent revolution would not worry me, corporations and the investors who ruined capitalism with demands for 25% return on investment need to be burned out of house and home. We have no other ideas, we need capitalism to work because otherwise we get Warsaw Pact levels of Orwellian dystopia or a damn feudal society, so fuck data farming, fuck investors, fuck finding new jobs. Just do a “silent strike” and when they tell the lot of you that you’re fired, say “Not unless you want that fire to spread. You hired us, you fucking pay us. We won’t just walk, we’ll take you down, so put up or no layoffs. Not when we’ve been abused for years as contractors. We’re fucking done with being threatened with hardship to cover for your mistakes.”
The problem is that we’re legitimately in the middle of a class war, the wealthiest 0.01% are actually trying to create a world where everyone else is expendable.
I agree purely on a “cultural influence” level, as while I doubt CoD caused a school shooting, it seems the argument these grieving families are making is “CoD glorifies guns and gun culture, therefore this will send a message that gun culture is not acceptable and guns being admired is dangerous.” On that I feel that if they have to destroy an over monetized and creatively bankrupt game franchise to send a message that guns are not toys or fashion accessories, CoD’s continuation will not be missed by the majority of gamers.
My only concern is that if they do succeed, that means anything can be censored in the US if it promotes cult-like behavior, which is too subjective to be properly defined without giving politicians another way to FUD people and thus does not solve the problem.
That, and fuck those cops who caused the majority of the issue. At that point, grab kitchen knives, conceal them, go to a local police station, calmly say you want to report a crime, and when the cop comes out to ask, slit his throat and say “this is for the kids you killed”. I would not trust an American cop ever at this point, so if anyone from my own or any other country reads this, I’m not going to kill a cop because the RCMP are actually trustworthy and have ensured everyone’s safety. I’m not intending to incite actual violence, only stating that these families are targeting the wrong people and they’re probably doing it because they were told justice will never come because the fucking police wanted it that way.
Hello, Dr. Smart, you forgot to take your meds again, didn’t you?
Go complain about PSN, or the ROG Ally being a toaster for microSD cards. Anyone still involved with this game has made their peace with whatever the outcome will be.
Let me be clear. If this succeeds, you’re dead. As in, humans. Homo sapiens. I won’t just burn down your world. I will kill until the only one left is me and I will kill myself too.
I already hate you all in a personal way. If this goes the way it’s going, I will not fucking stop until we are extinct.
I literally am furious at humanity in general. I took and take a series of bad luck in my life personally and want everyone else to suffer.
I have literally decided that if there is any sort of revolution in my lifetime, I don’t care what the result is, only that I now have an opportunity to do to humanity what humanity did to me, and I will burn the resultant society to the ground because I hate you all and it’s personal.
Either prove someone like me wrong, by proving humanity is generally good and I’m the bad guy, or lose everything when I destroy everything you worked towards. I am past caring about what you want, I only care about taking everything that everyone else truly values from them. If you are right about “people are not a good thing overall” then my murderous rage is justified.
I would rather be deluded to have escapism, I have always felt like reality is a prison to me and absolutely nothing has ever ruined my life quite like the abundance of anti-escapism in 2017. That, and I am a disabled person whose ability to socialize is further limited by a lack of nearby outlets for any sort of friendship. Screw reality, all I want is a future where my body doesn’t need bread, only circuses, but I’ll never have that so fuck all of you for telling me that wanting immortality is selfish even though I would make every effort to use such an advantage towards providing everyone with the same benefits and telling me I have to suffer in reality via Once Upon A Time, Twelve Forever, Gravity Falls, Inception, Undertale (or at least it’s fandom), His Dark Materials, Ready Player One, the list goes on.
I am serious, anti-escapism was a godforsaken trend for years and combined with a quack psychiatrist whose medication drove me to insanity via 24/7 depression, it ruined my life (believe me, he was bad; I have a doctor’s note from my current pschatrist that the medication the previous doctor prescribed was not recommended for someone with ASD and that his professional opinion was that he considered my previous psychiatrist’s behavior to be medical malpractice, because the one I had been stuck with for years was unwilling to accept fault and provide one, and I had to move a long day’s drive away just to get adequate mental health coverage from the Canadian medical system in another province).
I don’t give a shit anymore. Let me escape. You can’t tell me not to without going full 1984. You want the world to be better? I’m not stopping you but the moment you throw my “circus” of fiction that is unashamedly escapist out the window, I hate you all and I will have revenge. Whatever world you build next, dystopian or utopian? I will burn it to the fucking ground, and say "No. You took everything I cared about from me when I was so close to success, and my life is meaningless to me to the point I don’t care whether I live or die even though I am psychiatrically stable. All I care about now is that I will take everything everyone else cares about from all of you. You will not get to say you told anyone so about a dystopia, you will not get to build a utopia, you will fucking starve to death. You can’t just fix insanity with meds, it does permanent psychological damage, and so I will drive you all to insanity or death the moment you are this close to your ultimate goal. Enjoy knowing you created the Antichrist, all you fucking worthless over privileged, politically polarized, incompetent, shallowly opinionated, self-worshipping arrogant excuses for fuckwads. I will RUIN EVERYTHING FOR EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU.
You’re not wrong, nothing excuses this kind of behavior. However, I can’t help but feel no company can be held responsible for what an employee does outside of work without essentially giving scummy companies like and including EA an easy excuse to lay people off without paying for unemployment.
What do you expect to happen when you vote an accountant instead of a planner into (potential) power instead of encouraging her to remain treasurer, and then believe a conman when he says the accountant steals from you but act like the conman hasn’t stolen people’s livelihoods on The Apprentice?
I’m going to be honest, you’ve all made it abundantly clear in the US that you don’t care about this article’s complaint. You know why you never see kids in wheelchairs in 1950s media? “Severely mentally ill” included spinal injury and paralysis. You’ve never done anything to help people like me because your fucking tax dollars are more important to you. Burn in hell, or at least read Changeling: The Lost (1e) and then assume that what it suggests is… though only in a realistic, mundane way… absolutely true. No, there’s no hedge or kidnappings by the fae, but everything you read about in that fucking roleplay rulebook is directly based on reality.
If you don’t have a mental illness or care about someone who does, you are the Gentry that serve as the undefeatable and obscenely cruel demon-gods of that setting, because the real truth is that it doesn’t take eldritch horrorterrors to drive someone insane. Unfairness causes insanity.
So fuck all of you. You destroyed lives for your own selfish desires. There will be no negotiations on this, you don’t get to blame the victim. Pay your fucking taxes, or personally help the mentally ill, or kindly admit how much of a monster you are and that you want people like me dead.
And they all died and everything was horrible forever. The end. Go away.
Indeed, NDAs and “this is a preview version but…” disclaimers are supposed to exist so that what’s being reviewed is at least close to being the finished product or clearly labelled as not being finished.
It’s not just game devs who can be scummy about Early Access stuff, especially compared to “gaming journalism” ever since people realized Steam reviews are far more accurate than magazines and websites that sell ads. If the game isn’t finished, ask if progress is being made towards being finished, not whether “experts” from GameBloggerYT or Kotacky think it’s going to be. Marketers always lie if someone offers them enough money, and Big Tech has an investment in people not having reliable info on something, so if freakin’ Disney is able to say a straightforward “we fucked up” then you know that’s the honest truth.
But how they screwed up is what matters; they admitted the contract is bad, this isn’t about game quality. The game “journalist” vultures saw a corporate megafauna limping, this was a legal loophole they’re hurting from.
I know they sadly would never admit to making a flawed or predatory product, but I can at least respect that Disney decided not to sue someone. Maybe wishing on a star can work sometimes?
Meanwhile, EA and Uberme- I mean Ubisoft are literally killing good games because their newer stuff is subpar and they have no interest in doing better.
At this point, I’ll take whatever fair corporate activity I can get, Disney might not be Valve or GOG but I consider this incident to be one where a company hasn’t been deliberately sketchy for once.
OpenTTD taught me to appreciate running at near but not completely at capacity. Too little usage of a bus or train and you’re wasting resources, too much unmoved material or passengers and you’re wasting people’s lives.
Oof, screw that. If I wanted to lose weight I’d do it the old-fashioned way.
That being said, there are diseases like Down Syndrome where this is better than the alternative; they’re genetically predisposed to overly harsh weight gain and can’t lose it naturally.
This is the internet, how the hell was I supposed to know that when the news is globally applicable?
Not saying it is. Just that it’s extremely dangerous to not know what you’re doing, but I get that if you’re successfully taking recreational drugs regularly then you probably do. I’m not even talking about a junkie who at least has learned to do injections properly, I’m saying “if you’ve never done it before, be very careful about not having any air in it because that can kill someone”.
Jesus, I wasn’t thinking about that until you pointed it out but you’re right. If I wasn’t such a memory-hoarding dorkbrain I wouldn’t have even realized why you’re right without knowing what it’s called to google it.
Yes, I don’t know what it’s called, but if you ever have to give someone allergy/heart attack/diabetes medication by injection, make sure the damn syringe is empty (pushed down entirely) until after the tip is submerged in the medicine because air bubbles in your blood will cause your heart to stop or something. It’s really that important, and this is why doctors get paid the big bucks.
