Hey everybody! I'm Matt (He/They) and I'm a queer streamer and podcaster! I love video games (especially retro games and horror games) TTRPGs and board/card games!

I'm a variety streamer, five days a week over at twitch.tv/MattCaulder, streaming all kinds of stuff including Community Choice games!

I’m annoyed by the delay too but Valve has allowed for games with AI-generated content on its storefront, at some point we can’t just sit there & say “grrr AI tech bros bad I can’t get a Steam Machine yet” without noting that the call is coming from inside the house. Valve is enabling the problem

Gabe Newell is a literal yacht-fleet owning, moved countries for tax laws, Billion with a big B, billionare

And gamers will still defend his ass like it doesn't stink

Valve is generally good about keeping quiet and not letting any shit takes out to poison their rep, but even Gabe couldn't help himself with this
GameSpot article titled: Gabe Newell Is A Big Believer In AI, Calls It A "Cheat Code" "Essentially AI is going to be a cheat code for people who want to take advantage of it." https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gabe-newell-is-a-big-believer-in-ai-calls-it-a-cheat-code/1100-6533328/ GamesRadar article titled: Valve's Gabe Newell predicts AI will lead to a "funny situation" where "people who don't know how to program" could be "more effective" than people "who've been programming for a decade" From his Steam throne, Valve billionaire says businesses should just "listen to your customers and focus on them" https://www.gamesradar.com/games/valves-gabe-newell-predicts-ai-will-lead-to-a-funny-situation-where-people-who-dont-know-how-to-program-could-be-more-effective-than-people-whove-been-programming-for-a-decade/

If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly
“In a word, it’s grief,” Yakuza/Like A Dragon Wiki “Chairman” Masu told me. “If you’re a longtime fan or even if you can see yourself becoming one, if the series has resonated with you, it’s hard to come to terms with the idea that maybe its driving principle of chivalry is just a power fantasy to be packaged and sold and not a sincerely-held belief. And if you’re a survivor like I am, it’s even harder to lose faith in creators you hoped were in your corner when most of the world isn’t. A lot of us are being forced to close a chapter in our lives [that] we never wanted to close.”

I’m also seeing calls to cancel Nitro and send in a complaint via their support form. I highly suggest doing all three. Reply below has the latter

Here's the link for their "teen council" application form that's linked on their page and in which is the only way of feedback for these changes.

I'd suggest flooding it to all hell with demanding the changes to not go through. Inconvenience them.

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

It's hard to overstate the degree to which the general public is being lied to about trans people
sexabolition.blog Mallory Moore @sexabolition.blog · 1d
Alex Massie trumped up a fake campaign in the times to claim hundreds of rape convictions for women in the justice system were actually trans women despite the numbers covering several hundred more convictions than there are trans women in prison for any crime.
goodlawproject.org Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 2d
To understand how much Alex Massie actually cares about women's safety: when I called out his transphobe-in-arms Nick Cohen for multiple acts of sexual misconduct against cis women, which eventually got him sacked, Massie went berserk at me.

Transphobia is a men's rights movement in drag.

You know, as annoying as it is that every other person on YouTube labels a game "a forgotten classic"

I think the bigger conversation is actually how quickly some games just get left on the side of the road, barely given their time in limelight before the excitement moves on to something else
