Yeah that's honestly probably it
Games journalists have been calling for this to make gaming "respectable" since a while ago, I remember such murmurs when the first Bayonetta came out
Them not covering it is almost better because they're NOT on our side on this
Valve going "bring it on, fuckers" is really good though, instead of preemptively bowing down like certain other platforms they're calling the bluff of attempting to enforce the laws that don't actually exist
Government being kept out of any art form is a net good, but with most of them it's too late, so gotta take what you can get
Yeah, if this suit actually was about predatory gambling like it claimed to be, that'd be one thing
But as always, it's actually about "objectionable" content and invasive age verification survelliance. So yeah, Valve should win, government being kept out of videogames is a net good
Virgin Discord: "Due to imaginary legal pressure, we have no choice but to force you to give up all your IDs and faces directly to Peter Thiel :("
Chad Valve: "Oh we'll comply with laws - once you actually PASS any. See us in court, fuckers."
I need to make Barret. Hold me to it
I guess one good thing today is getting Dead or Alive 4 work on Xenia
Even if Kasumi is kicking my ass with Hold spam
Emulation has come a long way
Man it's so hard not to be negative on social media when everything is crumbling every waking moment
Idk how normies do it
A meme against paypro censorship with the MasterCard logo. The red section says "We Hate Gay People," the yellow section says "We Hate Women's Bodies," the middle reads: "We Fucking Hate You." Text: "There are some things money can't buy, hating artists and women's bodies? Priceless."
The better question is, why are you agreeing with policy put upon BY sex offenders?
You know who runs paypal, right?
Have you considered that perhaps crusading around drawings is how they distract you from the fact that they're never going to arrest anyone in the files?
While you're satisfied with them going around banning drawings, you think entities and institutions are actually dealing with problems
While real predators go on free
Ask yourself why you're letting people on the files define what's acceptable or not
You give them an inch, they take a mile
The moment "this is acceptable to ban" goes through the door it starts explanding like a tumor by labeling everything else with the same definition
And it's a substitution as well, because, well...
If you look at these content bans and go "what exactly is the problem here" if it's content you dislike, then you're an idiot
What makes you think YOUR definition of content you dislike is the one that matters here, and not the fascist's?
maybe ill finish this kris some day

Facists are cruel hardliners
They always, ALWAYS want to enforce the most strict worldview that is palateable to them.
There is no middle ground, there is no "sensible stopping point", anyone who believes that because they intentionally keep descriptions vague is an enabler period
The sleight of hand facist will always play is using words like degenerate, concerning, unpleasant, unsafe, etc. & never define them but leave them vague because enough people are gullible enough to fill them with their own definition thinking this is how broadly everyone sees it & it keeps working
FUCK
"There's no way to stop the trolley!"
The humble RPG-7:
Attacking the latter is how they cover up not dealing with the former
They want the appearance of fighting molestation and less people asking why wasn't anyone in the files arrested
My Armored Core addiction has finalized (For Answer was the last game I intended to play, and I just finished it) but tributing it hasn't ended yet.
This one is reimagining the original PS1 game's ranking screen with my own AC1 player character.
About as good way to end an art break as any, huh
Though part of me, a pretty big part, thinks it's because she was made before social media and thus people who would be pearl clutching about her didn't have massive platforms
And now she's kinda grandmothered in
Calvin and Hobbes panel: Calvin looks up at his dad, who is putting on a bike helmet and about to go on a ride Calvin's dad: "Sure! 'Cyclists have a right to the road, too, you noisy, polluting, inconsiderate maniacs! I hope gas goes up to eight bucks a gallon!'"
His plans are measured in centuries
These people honestly consider themselves so special that the creator of the entire universe would go out of his way to do little things for them like some kinda errant dog
But not, you know, all those other people
Realizing at fourteen when I heard a family friend say God had saved her brother from a plane crash by causing him to miss a flight that no adult I had ever spoken to had thought through the implications of their beliefs.
OMG HE'S BACK IN STOCK
Horrors...
I see BookTok is reaching new and exciting levels of total illiteracy
Are we...sure they're reading books or just skimming tropes to seem like they're reading books?
