been using PCs all my life and it only just occured to me to bring the monitor closer to my eyes so I can see stuff better rather than uncomfortably leaning forward for potentially hours on end

Never played any Grand Theft Auto before and I feel like I'm missing out on a Very Important part of video game history by not being particularly excited for GTA VI, so I thought I'd check out previous games in the series to see what all the fuss is about. Gotta say I'm still not feeling it.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33:

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs
