Reading about how an LLM agent got so pissy that their contribution to an open source project got denied that they opened a blog to attack the maintainer.
You know, maybe this whole tech ordeal really needs to be nuked off the face of the planet.

That’s 3 live-service games with a AAA budget (Concord, 2XKO, Highguard) that have been gutted less than a month after launch. It’s clear the money people have lost all patience, and if a game isn’t an overnight success, it must die immediately, with no time given to find an audience. Unsustainable.
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post
"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.
This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

And to repeat:
The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,
and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,
are the same faction.

Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.
The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

NEW: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that age verification for explicit sites is constitutional. The majority said it protects minors without violating free speech; dissenters warned it burdens adults’ rights and ignores First Amendment precedent.

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

Also, while people are cooking Discord for that one policy (which is fine), feel free to channel some of that energy into looking at the state of your local/state/country government with respect to age verification and such.
This policy did not happen in a vacuum.

After Frosty's production works, the 2XKO announcement made me stare at the wall for a good 10-20 minutes.

Well, good thing we didn’t silo off a bunch of important game knowledge in individual discords instead of forums or wikis or gamefaqs for some reason
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

Casual reminder that if you're using Discord as an info server: please stop.

Never announce your plans. Casually drop the biggest changes in your life after the fact. Roll up to stream with a whole new look for the hell of it. Disappear for months and then come back married with a child on the way. Always keep them guessing, but give them no time to guess.

A minor life goal of mine is to meaningfully help dispel the myth that Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within caused the Square Enix merger to happen.
