Thought this was a reference to the hardcore band for a second… seeing them next month for the first time. I’m pumped! Sucks the malware is back

Not surprised you skipped other M. I haven’t heard a single good thing about that one

I had so much fun with dread earlier this year. It motivated me to buy and mod an original GBA so I could finally beat the copy of Fusion I’ve had since I was a kid. That really got the ball rolling on me finishing as many Metroids as I can ahead of Prime 4. I think I’ve finished 4-5 now. Still haven’t done Super Metroid, which everyone tells me is the best, but I’m a snob and I want to get a Super Nintendo controller to play it with.

Only a couple more weeks until Prime 4!

Yes, there are some pretty fun weapons in the Gears sequels. I like the torque bow.

I can’t stop laughing at these, what a great day of shitposting

Yeah his framing is pretty trumpian which is gross even in the (doubtful) event he’s actually right. God forbid journalists do journalism and cover a company which has been caught stealing IP multiple times, and god forbid someone ask someone involved what their take was on the matter. Dumb.

“I understand that you like to stir up controversy, so here you go: the whistleblower, the truth seeker. This is my account, so here’s how I actually feel: you’re wrong and misinformed,” Mielgo replied. “No assets. As far as I know, Bungie accidentally used a texture, mostly typos and fonts, all lost in a wonderful massive creative pipeline. 

“All this ass it was genuinely a mistake, blown out of proportion by people like you and hungry sphincter press. Regardless, to your pseudowistle, none of the text/fonts ever reached our team. The Bungie team is fantastic, and the work they did before us was f****ng outstanding. I loved working with them.”

It’s fuckin weird for a creative to act this dismissive towards IP theft, even if it was just one texture. How does one even accidentally steal a texture someone else made?

Yup. I’m just wondering what if anything will come from this. I certainly don’t see this turning into an Article 5 situation but Europe will also need to look to be making a strong response lest they signal that this kind of sabotage is acceptable.

TIL Sam is gay

I stopped using Kagi because I felt their base tier didn’t include enough searches but if they keep adding good features like this I may go back.

But will the new valve hardware help fill the empty pit in my chest?

I said always, I just used an example from this century. Your comment does remind me of the UMD disks and their propriety sd cards

I don’t even think they really hid it from the console space. Their entire PS3 launch was peak hubris. They just don’t step on rakes as much as Microsoft does, and Nintendo would shoot a litter of puppies if it helped them protect their IP rights, so they look better in comparison.

Turning into? They’ve always been this way. It’s been like 20 years since they decided it was ok to install rootkits on people’s PCs to protect their IP rights.

YOU DONT SAY?!?

I appreciate the assist lol

Been waiting for a competitor to the meta quest. Looks like my patience has paid off. I hope it’s not too pricey/compromised

I can’t think of a better encapsulation of how insanely stupid and wasteful this whole witch hunt is than Jóse’s story. This man was risking his life to help save American lives and the border patrol comes in and whisks him away from that job in a bizarre and cruel waste of resources. Fucking idiots.

Well that sucks. It’s not even clear what was going to be shown that had the CCP so pissy
