Senator Asks Gabe Newell Why Steam Hosts So Much Neo-Nazi Content
New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan sent Valve a letter decrying the vast amount of white supremacist imagery in its user generated content and community spaces.

Steam is, obviously, my favourite platform, but Valve do need to pull their finger out of their ass on moderation.Senator Asks Gabe Newell Why Steam Hosts So Much Neo-Nazi Content

I know it's not an easy thing to accomplish but anywhere you find a fash infestation you need a full on fumigation.

Valve's answers to calls for curation of any kind have always been kind of annoying to me. In the past they've even mentioned if they curated then Stardew Valley wouldn't have happened, but like...no one's talking about that. They just want the shovelware and hate shit gone and 99% of that is incredibly easy to spot. If you're looking at one of those hitler dating sims and struggling to classify it then the problem is you, not curation.
I finished it a couple of weeks ago, It's not as bad as people said it was imo. I enjoyed the gameplay and killing hordes of zombies, for 10$ you're getting a lot of value.Hmm Days gone 10€... is it worth this much?
P.S: This game is really long so beware of that lol
You can switch Mastodon with Twitter in this text and you have the reaction to the first few years of Twitter.
Which of you rascals hacked PCGAMER?

I wouldn’t exactly call sex with Hitler a pro nazi game.
I could only tolerate an hour of High on Life before I deleted it. The Rick and Morty humor does nothing for me and the gameplay felt like a poor man's Doom Eternal so I'd rather find something else to do.
I've been meaning to play this for well over a year. I downloaded it on my Steam Deck so maybe I'll get around to it...someday.

Absolutely. Their lax and open policy is great for gaming but it doesn't work at all for the moderation of such a huge platform.
I agree, the only way I could see mastodon take off for the average joe is if the first server that appeared in the list was a simple general purpose server, like, the r/all of reddit or something.
Being thrown into a random list of servers where the great majority have to apply for an account is not intuitive at all, my first reaction when I saw the server list was pretty much "I don't have time for this" and closed the page.
New Requirement to Access Harmonix Live Services

It's worse when companies who are not owned by Epic do it.
Continue, unless they want their MAU almost completely dead.
They just give the same games again and again
Yeah, he must be really happy about the producer role. Good for him.
A lot of the bad impressions come from the game's poor launch, it was very buggy at first. I haven't played it yet but most of the impressions I hear now are pretty positive.Hmm Days gone 10€... is it worth this much?
Cheapest price is actually at a site called etail.market. Never heard of it but it's listed under oficial stores at GG Deals.

At least until 2025. The budget has decreased to $20 million a year though.
I definitely had a $10 level good time with it. It's quite pretty and I loved the atmosphere in the rainy forest bits. The hordes are really stressful, but in a fun way? I didn't mind the length, but it is pretty funny when they introduce the final zone and it's like... what??Hmm Days gone 10€... is it worth this much?

There being some friction to using it, feels less like a bug and more like a feature.
Mastodon requires some active work to get used to and also to build some connections. Instead of infinite streams of recommendations and likes, and so forth, it just shows you the posts purely chronologically and only from people who you choose to follow. There's the "federated timeline", but that's just an unfiltered view on literally everyone in the server you are in, plus connected ones (i.e. not something you are expected to use often).
Mastodon will never be a replacement for Twitter, because it isn't Twitter. It will never have half a billion users, not unless those users are willing to pay someone to keep the servers running. That seems unlikely for a mass audience that's been trained to assume everything on the internet has to be free (and paid via unfettered access to your data).
But I do agree that the standard web app could still use some work. Auto switching between light and dark mode would be nice.
Picked up Diablo on GOG, first GOG purchase in a very long time, but also first time I own the first Diablo game afaik, felt it was about time. Wish it was on Steam, but based on what I've read, GOG staff had some development hands with it, so if that is true, the exclusivity is udnerstandable.
shamelessly quoting myself.
But I felt such a rush of nostalgia hearing this music that I forgot for 20+ years. I have played it quite a few times today. Anno 1602 was such a gem.
(The track is called "Dreamer")
That's true. The document I linked is nearly 3 years old and is almost certainly outdated. Hopefully the Google trial in the spring gives us more spicy leaks.
Finished Jedi Fallen Order. Great game but I really hope the sequel runs better.
Hmmm. I have Timberborn but generally dont play early access games until they hit final release. Is it worth playing it now would anyone say? It looks good.
I'm still waiting for them to make it so I can just use the new BPM overlay when I have a controller connected and otherwise keep using the regular UI.I apparently missed the new BPM getting into the beta / main client.
Here's the boot animation:
I guess I bought Days Gone and Paradise Lost from CDKeys.
I hope they aren't cowards and keep tank controls as the only control method.
This is another horror game that I don't remember being posted. Polish VO set in a Poland..

I'm such a sucker for survival horror games with fixed camera angles lol. I will definitely check this out
Speaking of horror - I'm replaying Subnautica as there was an update recently and man, that game gives me the willies like no other. Its so scary. I've already completed it a few years ago so i know whats out there but still it shits me up.
I think a reason often overlooked that it will never work large-scale, long-term, is exactly because of the federated servers. Any server is at the whim of whoever is running it, and if they die or get bored or have a breakdown or money runs out, that server is gone. This is the same problem with Discord server, subreddits, etc. except much more likely because there's actual costs associated with it, whereas other servers you don't pay for personally.
While this is true of ANY media site, it's just much more likely to happen with Mastodon servers, and that combined with all the other limitations make it unlikely to ever truly gain traction. Something like Cohost is probably the compromise that would be most likely to catch on while still being a decent compromise - still publicly funded, so no ads/algorithm, but also centrally moderated to minimize risks. Unfortunately something like Hive which is just another venture capital Twitter, but has a very low barrier to entry, is most likely to rise up.
you're both welcomeI'm such a sucker for survival horror games with fixed camera angles lol. I will definitely check this out
and yeah, i just saw it looked pretty nice in the screenshots, so i posted the store page
as always
Bringing the heat with the takes, literally!
Any suggestions on specific dishes I should try to get a good feel for it? I'm going to search for a good Portuguese place in our area.
