  • Well, it is actually. Literally everyone told you this would happen. The problem isn’t that you “didn’t vote for this,” the problem is that you voted for something that never existed. Ask any Trump supporter what they voted for and 8 out of 10 times they have made up their own reason that specifically fits their viewpoint and even contradicts what Trump himself said he would do in most circumstances. In their anger towards “liberals” and “woke” they basically created their own idea of what Trump was based on nothing but vibes and then voted for that idea as if it was what he actually stood for. It’s a religion and based on faith, not a political party. Like when “Christians” make shit up from the bible to fit their arguments even when it doesn’t make any sense.

    “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”


  • I guess I’m confused because I didn’t know that “low budget” was now synonymous with “indie.” They are an indie dev that made their first game yet their game doesn’t count as “indie” because they had a budget? What about a game like No Man’s Sky? They were an indie dev that got promoted by Sony and everyone shat on it when it came out and said they bit off more than they could chew. In my opinion, that seems even less fair.

    I’m not saying they deserved the award more than any other game, I enjoyed all the games nominated, I’m just saying that if E33 flopped I highly doubt anyone would call them more than an indie dev that tried to punch above their weight just like No Man’s Sky.



  • I went over to Reddit so I could keep track if the game awards because I didn’t have time to actually watch it. Holy shit the hate E33 is getting is completely ridiculous, as Reddit does. Whether you go to the Silksong, KCD2, Death Stranding, Dispatch, Arc Raiders, or any other games subreddit that was nominated for any award about half the comments saying E33 is trash, overhyped, and their game deserved to win instead. As someone that has enjoyed all of these games, the salt is absolutely bonkers. Most of the ones complaining are basically saying “I never played it but I heard they did [blank] so they don’t deserve [blank] award.”

    I just don’t get why they need to shit on other people and the games they like just because their game didn’t win. Shit on TGA all you want, but the fans and the devs literally had nothing to do with winning. They were all great games and all deserve praise in their own ways. In two weeks none of us will give a shit anymore anyway and will probably be complaining that “RV There Yet” wins the “Most Innovative Gameplay” award on Steam. I mean, a flippin’ gacha game won the “Players Voice” Award and people are spending their time shitting on objectively good games.





  • It’s starting to reach the point where I don’t really find this funny anymore and I just find it sad. Kinda like when you see an older person get scammed out of thousands of dollars by one of those IRS or tech support scams. Fear makes people do stupid things. I get it, this is what they voted for. And yes, a lot of MAGA are legitimately Nazis and deserve all the hate they get and more. But some of these people just got scammed plain and simple. When I see someone get scammed out of their life savings I don’t just laugh at them and say “I told you not to fall for those IRS scams. Jesus Christ you are so fucking dumb.” No, I get pissed at the scammer that took advantage of them. Fuck all those people that are actual Nazis, though.

    The fact that we see so many people having regret is a good thing. I’d rather have people that realized they fucked up then people that are doubling down and defending everything Trump is doing.


  • Here pretty soon we are going to reach a critical mass of Dead Internet Theory and misinformation that the internet will become basically useless. It used to be the biggest source of information in human history and these tech bros are just burning down the library to build a data center. It’s already losing its reliability every day as less and less people take it seriously. If the bubbles doesn’t pop, I’m pretty sure the internet is going to consist exclusively of storefronts and streaming services as the rest of it slowly gets poisoned to death. Either way, the AI will collapse and take the internet with it. All in a effort to produce some mythical AGI that probably won’t even happen.







  • My company hired an outside IT guy to help install the new server and server rack a few months ago and after he finished all the phones were down. everyone was panicking and trying to figure out what was going on and they were about to call the guy that set up the server. I went to check it out and when I got in there the first thing I noticed was the power cable was just chillin’ on the floor.





  • I use windows 10 at home while I use windows 11 at work. The only thing I like about windows 11 is tabs in the file explorer. Besides that I’ve had to deal with Windows Explorer crashing on a daily basis, task bar freezing completely multiple times a week, certain software straight up not working that I need to get work done, programs crashing that work perfectly fine on 10, internet connectivity issues (usually DNS for some fucking reason), periodically hearing the disconnect sound for a device even when everything is still working, awful drop down menus, needing to change the registry just to get basic features that 10 has, and the list goes on and on. At home everything just works. I’ve been testing Linux and have been getting better stability than Windows 11 and I feel like every week there’s a new problem.
