how many people are going to pay like £1 a month to maybe get a game every 6 months to a year

Show thread

do we think I could make a modest living just releasing a little game every so often, paid for with crowdfunding?

well, I'm probably going to have to flee the UK soon, so I need to upgrade my income from unsustainable to meagre

actually i think cargo cults are more logical than whatever this is. With cargo cults there was cargo once. Fascist narratives have just never been true because they're social technologies for turning exploited people against eachother when they become too much of a threat to established power

i dont know if cargo cults were ever real in the original context but it describes rightoids well. theyre not materially or emotionally benefiting from evil, or even reliably brutalising or terrorising minorities, but they think maybe if they post enough then the man from TV will let them be dirty harry

re: the apple silicon backdoor 

What uncritical consumers don't understand is that even if you pay a premium for privacy and security it makes no difference. That's marketing bullshit. There will *always* be someone with a bigger wallet or bigger stick who wants your insecurity, and your personal information, more than you can justify the effort to the manufacturer(s). iPhone users should not be surprised about hardware backdoors with secret register values and undocumented instructions, as there has been far more sophisticated schemes found on both cheaper and more expensive equipment. If you are on an intel or ARM machine of this era it really ought to be the expectation, not the exception. People who have paid far more for far more luxury hardware than a mere apple gadget have been fucked like this. Not to mention actual professional grade hardware.

the cool thing about "evri" is they don't employ anyone who knows what a doorbell is and they're guarenteed to leave your shit in the most stealable location they can find

*an american parent, seeing an NES* finally. a V.C.R. ... with a gun. this will allow me to teach my Son to hunt

*a british parent, seeing an NES* we've already got a video. we dont need another video! we're paying out the nose every month for one video as it is!! and this one plays completely different tapes

falling behind an enshitification curve they themselves established. now that's that Nvidia promise

with Nvidia BSAA™®©, now you can replicate the experience of playing an Xbox one game on a TV with motion smoothing and anti aliasing that look bad and can't be turned off and add several ms of lag. And you can do that with a monitor and GPU that combined cost as much as 17 Xbox ones

watching/playing etc something bad doesn't magically make you a Hitler. That's satanic panic US christocult logic. Engaging with art is just like... the point, to me. Why would I boot a game or play a song for the first time if I wasn't interested in what the people behind it were trying to say?

when people say x media is good "if you just turn your brain off"... don't know what's up with them but if something only works when you don't examine it then it's probably actually crap. You can enjoy media that's bad morally or technically while engaging with it. That's just what media literacy is.

if you like Lynch's work, try and make some art today.

I'm going to be burnt out literally until I die

I wish there was a cure to burnout besides being rich

Imagine dragons.
This is an order.

the fake AI bubble is going to collapse and the only people who'll suffer that I feel a single shred of sympathy for are the kids who got tricked into thinking the lying machine was a good source of information, or worse, a friend

like over Christmas it doubled even though nobody was in the fucking flat
