Absolutely incredible
Every year another Doom birthday rolls by and reminds me of the same thing:
I never actually launched the project I started five years ago with @textfiles.com
Today, I finally fix that.

The fact that "divide and conquer" has any chance of working on the European Union says a lot about how infested with US oligarch influences we've gotten, because quality of life in EU countries is often (much) higher than that in the US.

I want to re-emphasize, the guy who has made HUNDREDS of videos calling people in the industry slurs, calling for them to be fired, calling all the studios that are showing games "woke and gay" and has harassed multiple journalists covering the show over the years is at the Game Awards.
LOL hey everyone in the industry who is at the Game Awards, the guy who has made countless videos harassing you is there!

Listen y'all, if my dad died & I had my one big thing a year & he was always there, I'd also shout him out. 100% not going to object to criticisms anyone might have of the TGAs and Geoff and the lack of developer support and the Future Class stuff & all that but y'all please, skip that one

Fucking incredible dystopian shit, comparing super rich people risking millions if not billions of lives just to make more money to people that risked their life actually building incredible things that would then make millions of dollars for super rich people.

I have and will continue to boycott all music I learn about via Eurovision, but I'll make an exception for anyone who uses the platform to call out Eurovision, Israel and its genocide, and the European Union's complicity.

Three things that I firmly believe:
1. Making games about anything that isn't a white/anglocentric narrative (or really any minority narrative at all) means you're doing ten times the lifting in establishing context and meaning for the juries and audiences.

“It's good that it's there, but it's also, in a way, kind of insulting. Because giving a special award for a game for actually meaning something or having some human content... we should be aspiring for that in every category."

"AAA game about murdering a lot of Muslims and destroying their homes" "ship it"
"solo game in which you fight the IDF" "ban the savages"
"indie game that criticizes Western power dynamics with a horse metaphor" "unacceptable"
"This review hates Muslims" "ahh smell that thats freedom"

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.
