As a side note, and as an artist myself: Artists do not “own” an art style. Marathon’s art style is not stolen. Brutalism in graphic design existed since the late 1990s. Monet doesn’t “own” impressionism, Dali doesn’t “own” surrealism, Warhol doesn’t “own” pop-art. They never have. Anime and manga have been using that art style in their design and marketing for a very long time. Anime being a pretty big influence on Bungie during the time they were making old Marathon, Halo CE, and most obviously, Oni.
Maybe you should look up what happened.

Correction, the oldest supported Pixels that will likely lose support soon are pretty cheap. Everything else was still around $400 when I checked last month.

It’s crudely drawn images of an alkylating agent stuck to shit. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that’s the whole joke. Like, no deep levels to this. I think it’s literally what you see.

In addition to the advanced flow we’re building free, limited distribution accounts for students and hobbyists. This allows you to share apps with a small group (up to 20 devices) without needing to provide a government-issued ID or pay a registration fee.
Fuck you sideways, Google.

- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
My point was “Help me with my passion project for nothing” is a much harder sell. “Just find some help,” is advice along the lines of “Just get in a plane and fly it.”
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
If the developer isn’t able to keep up, they should look for (co-)maintainers.
Same energy as “Just go on Twitter and ask for free voice actors,” a la Vivziepop. People think this kind of shit is super easy, but realistically, it’s nearly impossible to get people to dedicate that kind of effort to something that can never be more than a money sink.

- Comment on Bungie lay out their Marathon season plans, which yes, includes forced resets for everybody 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, still totally uninterested. I mean, Marathon was so much their golden child that they couldn’t even keep it out of their unrelated projects. The fact that they could now stick the name onto this shows that the Bungie that made the games I loved is functionally dead.

For anyone curious, I looked into the DDOSing, and what was done is a simple string of JavaScript was added to archive[.]today that made a background request to the blog with a randomly generated search parameter. Every time someone looked at an archive, they unknowingly sent a request to the blog under attack.

How does utilizing and profiting from a service known to promote and profit extremist ideology not aid that service in the promotion thereof? By taking a portion of the profits, you direct traffic and money to the service, which is then directed to extremists. Seems pretty clearcut to me.

- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 1 month ago:
Lol, no. That was not objective. And on top of that, I was not taking the position you’re generalizing here.
In short, what happened was, Bronzebeard made a cynical and destructive statement about the existence and development of Proton. I called them out by referencing what they said. Then, you came along, picked out some reasons to be angry with Valve, attributed them to me as though I said them, and acted as though pointing them out made you superior. We are not the same.
It is at this point, will be disengaging, as my conversation with you started with you putting words in my mouth, and I have less than no interest in speaking to you further.

They demonized all actions of Valve, for the sake of defending Epic, even to the point of painting something that aids Linux adoption across the board as if it were a secretive, locked-down part of Steam’s environment. I pointed out the failure in that. Yeah, totally the same. 🙄

Found the Sweeney fanboy. Just because Timmy-boy can’t install kernel-level malware on Linux doesn’t mean Gabe Newell is going to use it to conquer the Earth, bud.
