Funnily, in a recent filing in the Wolfire lawsuit against Valve, Valve brought up a ruling in relation to Meta in its defense, but for some reason included that according to the Supreme Court, monopoly power requires a market share of 75%, to which […]

If Hello Sunshine had an AI content disclosure, it would probably look like this. Also, there's a new trailer out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_2NcnBVZ4o

Here is Santa Ragione's Horses with its black and white and other filters removed, aspect ratio changed from 4:3 to ultrawide. Of course, there is also a way to remove the pixelation of nude parts, like in its pre-release versions, but I'm not going to […]

Just finished my last Nightmare 4 solo run in Marvel Rivals. Beat it as every hero, unlocking all titles, which has been tedious. I hope the Zombies mode gets removed at its conclusion. I don't want to be playing it to have to get more rewards. Though […]

I'm almost sure Epic uses AI for its text chat reporting update, but it has been my position for a while that the hate speech on Steam could be drastically reduced by using AI to prepare content for a human review. Otherwise it's simply impossible to […]

After many hours of trying to beat Nightmare 4 of the Zombies mode in Marvel Rivals with strangers, I finally succeeded, but on my own. Only 100 in-game credits spent on one pack of revive tokens, as I had run out of those granted daily and couldn't […]

Lego Expeditions beaten, with every possible trophy unlocked. This one must be rare, as it required to play through 10 missions on Expert. It was more tedious than hard. The mode is getting removed tomorrow, but the trophies are to remain, though I'm […]

[Real-world instances of sexist and racist messages on Discord]

In other instances, users say that women are stupid, react to an Amazon screenshot in French by asking if they can kill the French person, say that the KKK are "based" or that the good […]

[Discussing overtly racist messages on Discord]

For example, one of the moderators of the Discord in question routinely posts images and videos that are undeniably racist, including an image from 4chan about Indian people being smelly, a video of a […]

Here is how I compared NFTs to Steam in a recent conversation related to Valve controlling the value of its games' items. The reason NFTs are more persistent is that the proof of their existence is dependent on a decentralized network, compared to […]

Bloodlines 2 critics reviews are not looking good, but I'm always willing to give it a chance regardless. Besides, there have been games like Terminator: Resistance that are loved by the players but not by the critics.

I'm no longer active on reddit, but there is a community I have to moderate. Apparently reddit has been rolling out an AI user summaries feature, which shows the community moderators a summary of each poster's activity even if they choose not to […]

Crossplay is a powerful thing. Playing The Outlast Trials from Epic and being seamlessly matched with people playing the game via Steam and PlayStation provides a sense of unity.

Though Steam tries to detect review bombing, there are other ways its store pages have been abused, such as by applying irrelevant tags or by marking the most unhelpful reviews as helpful, which elevates them and buries the good ones. This has been […]

Tell Me Why, a game known for its trans representation, links to its Verified Discord server twice from its front page. Despite that, its main (or only) mod has not been active since May 2022. The lack of moderation has resulted in routine scam DMs […]

Got a crazy friend who doesn't even have many vbucks. I told her that from now on, I'm not going to tell her what I like in Fortnite, because that's expensive!

PS. Sabrina's new album art is worthy of discussing, though it may be a good idea to wait […]

Today in Marvel Rivals, I had a team mate whose name was Emofemboy, and one other team mate was excited about that, but when I tried to comment, the game wouldn't let me type "femboy", claiming it's inappropriate content. So much for Pride Month!

Going by reddit, this is an unpopular opinion, but the new battle pass in Fortnite is full of fab skins! I like Synthwave and Morgan Myst the most, but the other fem outfits are great as well! Robin from DC is also a welcome addition.

On the other hand, the Take-Two ToS were last updated in February, but few noticed until they were told to care. It's also obvious, and it was recently confirmed by a Borderlands Discord moderator, that the ToS are generic for all games, including GTA […]

The new Sabrina Carpenter experience in Fortnite was arguably the game's best music experience, featuring fully choreographed moves to four full-length tracks. It focused strictly on dancing rather than shooting, jumping or driving around. It was still […]
