i believe they explicitly named it after the character in pulp fiction

personally i’m not blaming them too much for being a bunch of young assholes choosing an edgy name (reminder that it’s an ableist slur first and foremost) 30 years ago.

i am 100% blaming them for never changing it and outright refusing to change it.

to save you a click: it’s ethan klein (h3h3productions) and chris chan

the list is about to get longer!

i feel like i’m gonna be reposting this image for eternity

i get not wanting to call x by its old name (because people who do that sometimes do it to ignore what it has become), but don’t call this “deadnaming” please. it trivializes deadnaming and what it does.

corporations are not people, they don’t get to have deadnames.

i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the last line that got him attacked. quebeckers get very, very angry when you remind them their role in the colonization of canada isn’t one of eternal victimhood to the evil anglos

it just reminds me of the old fascist reddit clones, like voat or throat or whatever

if you’re on estrogen, you still get (some) period cramps and mood swings, but obviously there’s no blood since there’s (usually) no uterus

the power of the people in capitalism coming from their power to purchase means that people with more money inherently have more power.

it’s easy to say “stop working! stop buying stuff!” when the alternative for you isn’t immediate starvation.

you could make any shit up about north korea and some people would believe it

“North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has declared himself the only person allowed to do the Macarena. A person had been found performing the dance, and has been personally thrown by the leader into a big pool filled with genetically-engineered superpiranhas.”

i think Undertale would be a perfect fit for a library, it’s an amazing game with a great story (and especially great characters), it encourages compassion, and it’s not too long, so if you play it well you’re likely to finish it before having to return it!

Baba Is You feels like a flash game you’d play as a kid on a school computer, and i mean that in the best way possible

it seems likely, FF7 is one of the most voted for games on their dreamlist and 4 FF games released on GOG recently

you’re right, that’s why i think an organized boycott with a clear demand would be the best, instead of just going around saying “don’t use GOG they use AI”

i want GOG to stop using AI, i don’t want GOG to disappear

i wonder if an organized boycott of GOG would be feasible, boycotting them until they stop using the slop

i would participate. however, until there is a boycott i still think DRM-free games are a good value proposition

that’s still pretty damn far from the 30’000 that’s floating around in western media

fun fact:

:)

i think you’re right. the technology itself was arguably garbage, i’ve heard from many people i have no reason to distruss that it was a security nightmare, and i don’t especially miss going on any random website and seeing “you need to install the adobe flash player extension!”

still, the modern web feels different. even if HTML5 and WASM can do everything flash could and then some, it’s not the same… you don’t really see websites filled with amateur web games anymore.

watch out le PQ va les inviter dans leurs rangs parce que “l’indépendance ça se fait avec tout le monde 😇”
