@sun What radicalized me was Valve's anti-cheat or rather lack of in their games Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike. The ADL and DoD should be forcing Valve to be more heavy handed in banning cheaters if they want to curb radicalization.
With that said the ADL are a bunch of retards if they think a cartoon frog is the source of hatred towards specific ethnic groups.
I still like old games but the hobby is utter shit now because of band wagoners who don't actually care about the games and treat the shit as speculative investment.
You know things have gone retarded when a Winnie the Pooh game on the PS2 that was virtually worthless goes from $12 to $150 overnight because some Youtuber does a video on it.
Smart people would just emulate the thing or get a .iso and play it on a modded console. Honestly I can't fathom how low IQ someone has to be to pay $150 for a PS2 Winnie the Pooh game.
@sun I got nothing against FOSS and the initiatives to promote it. I just get annoyed when some people in the FOSS camp get over zealous at people using anything that's a non-FOSS / proprietary software at all.
I respect what FOSS does in being free and in free to modify and view the code and do what you essentially want with it as long as you follow the licensing it's coded under but there is some software I do like that is non-free (mostly games) and part of freedom is choice and I should be able to use non-free software as well as free software. With that said I wish some of the non-free software I used was more free mostly due to the draconian restrictions on DRM that I do not like at all.
@Suiseiseki Considering I already had a gog.com account and already had games on there before this is a shit take.
Also for someone touts software freedom part of that aspect of freedom is freedom of choice.
It feels like to me you don't really value software freedom and only want people to use software that you approve of which is pretty authoritarian and quite contradictory of what the philosophy of freedom is.
Some free open source software is good and has it's uses but there is plenty of non-free software that is also decent as well and I'm not going to restrict myself from using it because some ideological zealots in the FOSS space online tell me do to so.
@Suiseiseki Not sure how I loss freedom on a free trial. You just turn off auto renewal and you don't pay anything. I already had a GOG account so it was just more freebies.
