  I don’t hear much about Japanese politics, but that’s a pretty sad window into what’s going on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US senators aim to arm Trump with 'sledgehammer' sanctions against Russia⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I’m kinda surprised Russia is losing it’s control over it’s agents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Precious times!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s crazy and i kinda like it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open world wuxia RPG Where Winds Meet is having a city-sized playtest this month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds kenshi-core

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lo-Fi Games know you've spent a billion hours with Kenshi, so they're working on making the sequel's discoveries even less predictable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is just something about coq that feels bad. I play CDDA, i play elona, i dabble in DF, and i play the shit out of kenshi, but coq just doesn’t click. Maybe it’s the UI, maybe the game just doesn’t feel as deep or as rewarding to explore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steel Hunters, the mech shooter from World of Tanks' devs, gets a shutdown date just three months after releasing in early access⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds way more interesting than world of tanks too. Maybe they should have talked about it, like, at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US scraps shoe removal at airport screening⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Still gonna take a boat of i ever get to leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian villagers beat five to death for 'witchcraft'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, but don’t the dominate religions in India not give a shit about the supernatural? Enlightened or magical people being evil is only a thing in Christianity, right? I see this case specifically blaming a death on someone, but that’s kind of a high number otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian doctors call for clampdown on social media influencers allegedly glamourising poker machines⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll believe it when it’s not Australia saying it

  Oh shit

  Watching that when i get off work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 creators offer no explanation for sudden regime change, instead promise "no loot boxes"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t wait for the battle Royale mode in submautica 3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ease the Witcher 4 wait with tiny plastic Geralt in a new skirmish miniatures game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just play the straight ttrpg. War games are cool and all but that’s not gonna scratch the same itch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new shooter from Romero Games loses funding as staff post they've been let go thanks to Microsoft cuts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll never understand why these animals buy things just to break them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More World of Darkness RPGs deserve "the Bloodlines treatment", say White Wolf, especially Mage: The Ascension⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bloodlines 2 looks like a trainwreck, so good luck making a game that lives up to mage. Maybe changeling would be a better call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clone-generating game The Alters may have used AI to generate some writing, despite the lack of a Steam disclosure⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Welp, glad i wasn’t interested to begin with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale studio founder says he'll reach out to Riot in an effort to buy back and revive the game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The best hope he has for getting people to support him again is probably having ex devs none the vintage story guy tear into him. Until someone who actually does do something tells me he is an idiot but does actually care about releasing a game I’m gonna assume he’s grifting or treating the game the as a hobby he plans on dying without finishing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NGO loses bid to block UK export of military equipment to Israel⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is just so much bullshit here it’s hard to decide what i want to talk about. A friendly state? Israel? Bullshit. And the idea that a country just doesn’t need to follow laws means law isn’t real in that country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This bill opens the door to scandal, abuse and injustice, disabled activists say after assisted dying bill vote (UK)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  … Man, you ml guys really live up to the rumors.

  How long until he tries to pardon bibi? You know he doesn’t understand how it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Supreme Court upholds Texas age-check for porn sites⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a horrible breach of privacy and I’d like to point out it’s easily bypassed by a VPN and many sites don’t even acknowledge these laws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Abiotic Factor is all set to launch into version 1.0 next month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man I’ve been waiting to rejoin the science team

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Opinion] Why Are Americans Letting Israel Starve Us to Death in Gaza?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. Most Americans are horrible people. Savages, what we used to think animals were like. We thrive off of self interested cruelty, but don’t even have the intelligence to be self interested about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It could probably be worth it to keep an active eye on your data even if it remains roughly the same. To keep an established base line, to keep an eye out for changes in environment in specific areas, to monitor the effects of aging, to sell you shit when your eye gets damaged. Probably other evil shit too, or just the paranoid urge to surveil people for no damn reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Selling data on people is a lucrative business. Although it is a business and not UBI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian trial says tech for social media teen ban can work⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  … Did this just imply that the blocking measures are effective on children who comply with blocking measures? No shit Sherlock, the systems already in place of politely asking you to give your age are effective on people who accurately give their age. Not that that is the main issue, but still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 won't be "making jokes every minute", because it's set in a totalitarian world⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s a bit too late to move away from stupid. Sure it didn’t start there but it’s kinda there now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social media now main source of news in US, research suggests⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My first response was ‘that’s bad’ but it makes sense with the oldmedia being as captured as it is.
