@hj @boilingsteam yeah, more detailed look makes everything a lil bit less fun 🥲

@hj @boilingsteam CD Project Red seems to subsidize it with their games sales, but i still hope longer than i think because drm-free stores are neat

@boilingsteam @hj haven't really heard of it, but seems realistic considering that CDPR is public company and has to report all that kind of stuff to their investors. Good thing steam remains private

@hj @boilingsteam most of the pirated games are gog versions since they sell drm-free, so one way or another you get your games from gog 😈

@jeffowski they study history but learn all the wrong lesson because they simply are stupid. History should be taught in classes normally making sure that students understand it all, but education system doesn't care about making knowledgeable and understanding people, but it cares to make people who will want to work themselves to death chasing the dream of hitting it big and becoming an ultra rich via whatever the way they see be it crime, scam or something decent.

@jeffowski so mch for the christian love, i guess

@rogueren @frameworkcomputer @BrodieOnLinux @venituber is Brodie a gamer? Didn't know

@hj but... i don't like 4 panel manga 🥲

@jeffowski 40 years old soviet books taught that my worth comes from the good deeds and good intention I put in everything I do

Nowadays reality tells me my worth comes from how much my employer is willing to pay me. Fuck it

@jeffowski what if im not white and i generally just support all people in need?

@jeffowski so, autism saves the day? Sounds funny, im into that

@CleoMenezesJr looks cool

@jeffowski i like good games and media with diverse cast that represents me, personally - a brown skinned asian, but damn, sometimes they are awful thanks to stupid directors and producers who just want to get diversity points without any work on it making my favorite franchises real bad.

@jeffowski actually i don't really think that sex talks are for children. Like, i discovered all that stuff myself when i was 9 through games, movies and then the internet and i still regret it. I would much rather for my little siblings to know all that when they are 16-18 and not a year before that. Maybe I lack the knowledge of something, but from the personal experience, I want children to remain children as long as this world lets them

@jeffowski all I see is that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea form an informal union that just does one thing - it opposes the US domination of the world and support everyone who does the same on the outside, while on the inside Russia goes the same way it went ever since the 90s ended - neoliberal capitalists abuse the economics and political scene, while sponsoring alt right propaganda, but now these capitalists move money to China and not the Europe or US.

@jeffowski or they just won't do that and do the same thing West does - sponsor politicians and business owners of the Russia to make them loyal and control the economy of Russia. I live in Kazakhstan, just near the Russian Federation and from what I can see is that both Kazakhstan and Russian economies are being taken over by chinese automakers, tech and building companies and Chinese investors are taking over many national companies. Controlling economics = controlling the country, in the end

@jeffowski and i highly doubt Russia is currently falling apart - politically Russian totalitarian government controls every corner of the country and as of right now BRICS is developing fast - everything West took away as they left Russian has already been replaced by China and Russia is actively becoming an appendage of a Chinese economy from the Kaliningrad to the Vladivostok. It's just seems like a new center of power appears to the opposition to the US and I hope that it is for the better

@jeffowski yeah, US can make Ukraine win, but they don't. Russia losing quickly or conflict ending in just 3 years means that Lockheed Martine, General Electric, Boeing etc will get less money, Russia losing and getting torn apart will damage US nuclear energy sector since they buy most of the uranium from Russia even now and the same goes to the agricultural sector that still buys a lot of fertilizers. Business incentive doesn't let US help Ukraine.

@jeffowski but firstly Ukraine needs to defeat Russia. Question how can they do it?

@aral so venture capitalists are bad again? How come?
