  It was sold off to venture capitalists. So obviously it’s going to get much worse before finally dying off in a ditch somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Everything Is Fake, What’s the Point of Social Media?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Escapism.

  There was an episode in Stargate SG-1 where they find some pretty lights in a temple and they couldn’t take their eyes off it.
  The longer you feeded the addiction, the easier it made you forget about everything else, until you forgot to eat, drink or sleep.

  Not saying social media has the same properties but.. “It’s fun”.

  I was going to try it, but then I read it was a hollowed out carcass of a Japanese game that went under and was bought out by Tencent’s tethered minions.
  Now that they added crap on top of it, i no longer see the needed to actually wade into those murky waters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 director confirms Arrowhead are biting the addition delay bullet while working on performance fixes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the meantime, they should make a Helldivers offshoot called Helldivers: Full Steam Ahead, where they dive into Steam’s discussion forums and try to survive the bile lords on that planet.

  Tea, usually.

  Oh good, I thought I read “piss stimulators”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: London modders still have no plans to port it to next-gen Fallout 4, unless a console version becomes possible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For now.

  There’s a pinned thread in the gog forums about the next-gen version and some customers are kinda asking for it, if you know what I mean…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune Awakening developers Funcom are laying off an unspecified number of staff⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It usually means the foundation of the game (and thus any serious bug fixing) is done and next comes in milking with all kinds of half-baked DLCs and basic maintenance mode.
  Conan Exiles died the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arrowhead will target Helldivers 2's "crippling" tech issues now Xbox release is sorted, but would rather not do a "performance-only update"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Then do a bug faction nerf update, since it's the bigger complaint than the performance one, that I've seen at least.

  Please avoid commenting in everyone's stead.

  Bootylicious is still being used, sporadically.
