If you don't know this yet, this is the new cookie stealing scam online.
A friend you talk to will contact you letting you know they developed a game and they want you to test it out for a few minutes.
they then send a link to a random site, and it will steal your cookies and stuff

seeing the mods add a "rude" option (and IDK for others, but mine was auto-set to "Hide") just makes me think of "crude language? on MY christian minecraft server!? BANNED"
I leave almost all my stuff to "warn" because I inherently DO NOT trust the moderation team to properly label

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

A lot of good games and peoples' careers died on the altar of this frankly impossible goal and players should be more mad about this than they'll probably express.
They'll feel it tho when Satya and Amy jettison Xbox en total to make room for more openai bullshit.

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.
This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

With more and more game developers creating AI slop, or just using AI generation for stupid things in their games, we need more ways to avoid them.

If your company cannot hire any voice actors, don't put voice acting in your game.
This AI voice acting crap is bad.

Beyond disappointed to learn that Arc Raiders, like The Finals before it, uses AI voice acting.
So many iconic game voice work is little vendor greetings, and to farm that out to a machine is a hollow admission of a lack of care.
I know a thousand actors who would have done better for buttons.

minor update to this: I've basically beaten the game (doing the fuckton of side quests at the end) and yep, still fun.
I'm also seeing a ton of people getting in to Digimon now, which I'm happy about, I highly recommend Cyber Sleuth if you want something like Time Stranger, but cheaper

Playing the new Digimon game (it's very good! I recommend it (so far) if you enjoyed Cyber Sleuth!) and the base costume keeps making me think of Kamen Rider and like... some VERY good classic anime outfits, so even though it's kinda goofy I'm here for it lol

my fucking job has to update all our PCs to windows 11 due to this, and it's causing so many problems we're bumping up against overtime constantly.
like, we didn't have nearly this many issues having to work around COVID and setting up at home PCs for people, that's how awful this shit is.

ordered a new CPU fan/cooler because my PC has shut itself off twice in the past month, and I can't find the problem (tho the temp was getting a little high for my liking)
it just came in, this thing is a fucking 6x6x6 inch cube, I'm scared it'll snap my motherboard in half like a glow stick

Well it finally happened. My external hard drive where ALL of my past and current blender work was has died and I can't afford to replace it. Any c0mms/ko-fi tips are appreciated right now so I can replace it and get back into making art.

TIL that usernames in Deadlock don't always match the Steam name.
Nearly reported someone for having a username that was *dangerously* close to the N-word, had to do a little digging to find them.
Turns out their name was something like "Sonic Hedgehog" but entirely in non-standard characters
