man, today is the day for toxic workplace conditions at beloved indie studios to be exposed, huh

Could've told you more than a decade ago that Thomas Mahler isn't right in the head, well lots of people could, interactions with him on forums were always very unpleasant even way before Ori, dude screamed sociopath . Fuck him.

Insane amount of great games and all money goes to organisations that help the Ukrainian people.
Already own and/or have already played most of the games I'd want from this one, but it's undeniably a great value

Fuck, ER is so big. Dark Souls 3 was the biggest Soulsborne for me (I think, don't remember my whole playtime in Bb, as in, playtime across all my characters in Bb) with 66 hours on Steam with all 3 endings.

I have 49 hours in ER and still a lot to explore, only 11/42 cheevos.

So, what is the best web browser to use? Currently using Chrome (don't judge me) but it isn't loading webpages properly on first try (not all the time though). Edge seems to be OK but I always have misgivings about MS.
i once used duckduckgo because i was worried about companies taking my data, but once at 6 am, it kinda presented a phising link instead of the real link for a site i was visiting, and i pressed it accidentally, something which resulted in me breaking a laptop

i now use google chrome

NoScript breaks most of the internet for most people who don't know what they're doing but I do like it. I like Privacy badger as well

I don't know why it's in uh.. german?

I guess it's a german badger

Perhaps because of NoScript or my Ublock filter choices, I don't and have never ever gotten Youtube ads/sponsors. :unsure:
SponsorBlock blocks stuff like "This video is made possible by RAID Shadow Legends or these crappy earphones!" proceeds to talk about a dodgy game /product for 10 minutes. IIRC NoScript and Ublock cant do that.

It doesn't block ads, it skips in-video ads.
It's a community based addon, where people mark which part of the videos are in-video ads. ie LTT videos are filled with those in-videos ads. With the addon installed you can skip those parts

Ahhhh. I see. I've never heard of this before lol. But I only use Youtube for like random music stuff, Vtubers, and the occasional game trailer or something. :giggle:

Sounds like certain content creators just try to get around the defenses people set up by hiding ads later in the video... :anguished-face:

its quite common for some of them, yeah. the sponsored parts wont be Youtube ads, they are just part of the video. sometimes they can be really annoying.

obviously it's heavily inspired, but it's actually pretty legit! :)
Lol saw that it literally came out 6 days ago into early access and most of the reviews were "ITSSS SHIIIIITTTT" for bad and did another look so i added it to my wishlist because zombies and Vampire Survivor is fun anyways so another one wouldn't hurt even if it's just slightly different

Don't be fooled by all the cool games coming out, programming is hard as hell and can be a very toxic place with actual brogrammers out there,
There is a line from STEMlords vs Liberal Arts shouting matches to what you see with toxic as fuck brogrammer business.

STEMlords believing they're better then everyone else cause they're programmers are a direct cause of toxic enviroments,

Good luck on that crowdfunding on yer next game asshats

How so? I remember seeing the game in the indie dev thread I think but that was years ago!
He's one of those super 🥚 supporters who antagonizes everyone who feels different. It was so weird. He even got banned for it one or twice.

I don't want anyone to not look forward to the game or anything, it just really rubbed me the wrong way.

---

The Ori dev has been on my shit list ever since he tried to shit on Hollow Knight back on GAF 😂 I'm petty as hell, but seeing him talk shit about HK because it doesn't force feed you all the upgrades in the first 2hrs got to me.

Meanwhile the Dentention devs are going to crowdfund their game and I absolutely certain they will meet their goals with all the concern and stuff they get

Old Moons devs lmao y'all better be dazzling me with your bullshit to forget about this.

Crowdfunding is a delicate but harsh mistress, bad press means slower crowdfunding campaign but holy shit lol insulting/personal attacks against microsoft war coffers is just a level pure sociopathy right there good luck getting funders for yer game tho lol

just realized my future way of life will probably be a brogrammer, as i will lift weights and become strong while i just program for the degree
(if that is what brogrammer means)
For the love of all that is holy and merciful and that is good and pure in hellworld

and Im going to have to put this in all caps and and bright colours so your co workers can see it and hopefully it penetrates their thick ironyfried fuckbrains because we can't have good thing in hellworld for too long





STOP MAKING DEV ENVIRONMENTS TOXIC FOR WOMEN AND MINORITIES!!!!!!

i'm still kinda confused, so a brogrammer isn't a guy programmer who lifts weights and also makes programs?

When the last time Nvidia went more than a month without driver update to push? :unsure:

The hack is definitely real. I wish they would clarify if software is safe... but all they do is talk about business shit on their news page.

I guess if the software/drivers were at risk, someone in the community would have found it by now or something or is that too optimistic?

If you want to stick to chromium based browsers, I'm told Iridium is a good alternative on desktop, Bromite on Android.
But I'm still using firefox on desktop.
