Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

This year's Christmas game is The Great Circle because the Indiana Joneses are Christmas films.
This supplemented by the old regulars, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and World in Conflict because who doesn't like foiling Russian invasions and killing Nazis during the festive season.

Fresh milk? NO!
Several aisles dedicated to crisps and crisps alone? YES!
Cloves & most common spices? NO!
18 different brands of vanilla sticks? YES!

This got me to finally pull the trigger on Arco.
Good thread.
Good thread.
Short spoiler free story about my experience with Arco.
Back before bsky took off, I saw a post on Twitter from a game dev asking for advice because their game is reviewing extremely highly but it's not reflecting on sales. I wanna help but I gotta try it first. So I make a note to check it out. 1/

Of all the opinions I've seen this bot put out, THIS is the one that's triggered me something rotten.

Hahaha, right?! Or what about mandatory disclosures for the discrepancy between the salaries of the CEO and their lowest paid worker? That would be so funny, right?! Let’s do it as a funny joke!!!
