also Zangief from street fighter, lmao, yeah it’s literally blanket ban on fictional characters that are russian

most likely silksong

Yeah Civ7 will never “get fixed”; a skeleton crew is not going to ship 2 banger DLCs to bring it up to par, hell the previous team barely shipped Civ7 as it is, and now they don’t even have that.

The writing was on the wall since Midnight Suns bombed and Civ7 was supposed to save the studio. Except management forced dev to dig their own graves by following up the fucking XCOM series with a forgettable marvelslop tactics game they didn’t even market. Sure Firaxis is down but not out but execs have a bad habit of going “Oh, are the sure we want to make another Civ game? That last one didn’t sell so well.”

american chauvinism a bannable offense on hexbear? now i’ve seen everything

too bad this one was over east european self-deprecation

more virgins in the volcano, it’s sure to work, we’re on the verge of the breakthrough

ZA/UM is a husk, they kicked out all the original creatives, if it’s ran by the same estonian moneyman fraudster then i would temper my expectations; not saying it’s going to be guaranteed dogshit, just, you know

(I mean even the title sounds like someone asked AI to generate a title in the vein of “no truce with the furies”)

as Inside China Business put it, “beecause the western military industry is there to make profits, not weaponry”

who designed this, fred flintstone?

tearing up seeing pikachu all grown up, proud of them

i mean, yeah, unironically, maldela’s legacy, his work with the ANC and what the ANC precisely did has been largely scrubbed from liberal retellings of history because if libs knew they would all be on the apartheid government’s side

new call of duty looking great

Basically all community building has moved on to discord. If you wanna talk crap in chatroom at all hours of the day like IRC was still ubiquitous, that’s your best bet. If you really liked PHPbb forums I’ve got nothing for you.

the first one was an unmitigated cumshow (and not the fun kind) ready to be dissapointed by more milquetoast corrections in this one

“he didn’t make it but he’s responsible for the results anyway”

never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies

i would have agreed with you like 10 years ago but nowadays they seem to cut even the stuff that would keep the machine running if it means bit higher profits in Q4 so i’m not that convinced

call me a naive optimist but once it’s revealed AI isn’t going to make a dime of the invested money back in profits all this AI crap will stop being free and we’ll have to stop worrying everyone and their little doggie frying their brains with it

of course companies will run their own, and people will use smaller pre-trained models on their phones and laptops, but those are going to be techie hobbyists

like currently running all this the way it’s ran is costing microsoft a bajillion gorillion dollars (and no, the $300 bucks or however much chatgpt costs doesn’t even begin to cover the usage costs on their end) and i’m supposed to believe they’ll continue to offer this for free for what reason? you know, online search can shove ads down your throat, what’s AI gonna do, what’s the monetisation angle

dw, they saw how overworked malaysian artists that get outsourced video game asset creation for western companies (and how they essentially sleep under the desk and see their families 2 hours a week) and they want a piece of that too

if you’re operating a website, at this point you might as well just block UK IPs and be done with it

boss move would be to embargo the chips, i know they won’t because china wants actually constructive trade relations and if they wanted to throw the toys out the pram they had multiple opportunities to do so for years now when it comes to dealing with the USA
