There's absolutely no way in which this will be used for very weird purposes, of course

I don't care if it runs locally, if it sucks it sucks

not to mention the extra CPU/memory overhead, particularly now that I'm working mainly on a laptop

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

Ainda bem que pelo menos foi por uma causa super útil né
Imagina perder um jogador desse por conta de um jogo sem importância
Que bom que nossos estrategistas da diretoria jamais deixariam isso acontecer

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 3d

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 3d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

The BBC has been accused of “extraordinary” anti-Green bias, after the party says a long-promised conference interview with new leader Zack Polanski was cancelled by the Laura Kuenssberg show just days before going to air

Every major political party leader, aside from him, was interviewed recently.

Pra provar que a natureza está curada nessa semana de clássico, só falta desenterrarem "notícias" bizarras de salário atrasado ou algum velho desafeto obscuro do Botafogo dando uma entrevista "bombástica"
