This is an exquisite piece about something I know absolutely nothing about. Worth paying @ettingermentum.bsky.social

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I am 100% pro Larian doing whatever pervert shit it wants and I can’t wait for another game where you can like, fuck a squid or whatever, but it really does further drive home the two-tier system of enforcement on storefronts. Bg3 contains basically everything small games get banned for

Valve takes a bigger cut of sales than they probably should but they also deliver the shit I buy faster than anybody else, including the companies I pay rent to

This is a fair question to ask, but so is the opposite: do all the people complaining about the censorship of Horses also complain about the censorship of anime titty games and the like? Because you can only truly be against censorship by opposing it with both of these, not just one or the other.

something funny about a journal called "Futurism" making an article with this headline. But very accurate nonetheless.

China Outlawed 996 Work Culture. So Why Are US Tech Employees Taking Pay Cuts to Pull Insane Hours?
996 means grinding 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. Fueled by AI ambition and the promise of glory, Silicon Valley is embracing punishing hours that China has rejected as exploitative.

It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.
