Dear sir, it is with my duty to inform you that I shall henceforth be downvoting any and all articles with the words “CEO says” in the title.

Why not simply filter them, then? Because I have a vote on this matter, and it’s in the downward direction.

Probably some mail from 95. I never delete anything.

Adam Curry, now there’s a name I have not seen in a long time.

I watched his show on Europa TV, then MP3s appeared and he jumped on it. He was one of the first (of not the first) podcaster. I think he was the one who came up with the name.

Good times.

Wii menu music.

Yep, I’m downloading my stuff as well.

Between Steam, GOG, Humble Bundle, Itch, Fanatical, Prime, and all the retro emulation stuff, I have more games than I have life left.

I was today’s years old when I discovered that Robert Palmer had a cover of DEVO’s Girl U Want.

This has been standard operational procedure for some other governments around the world: transpire that some outlandish law is being considered, wait for the wave of indignation, get what you wanted to regulate in the first place approved while the people wave their pitchforks. Rinse and repeat.

Whip It - DEVO

It’s not unheard of Valve going things that hurt its’ bottom line.

Family sharing, for instance. I can use the same instance of The Talos Principle 2 that my kid uses instead having two copies.

That kind of touch makes me a happy customer, with way too many games on my “one day I’ll play this” list.

Thanks, but it only solves part of the issue.

Damn, I hate Halloween.

That’s not the issue here. They are free to have whatever games they want in the store, I don’t care.

The issue is: if you have a recommendation system in place (like the Discovery Queue, which I use and have found great games on), you’d better let me customize it so I don’t recommended yet another hentai puzzle instead of a nice boomer shooter. Just this. I just want some control on what I’m being recommended.

That is good to know, thanks!

As far as I can tell, you can only add about 10 tags to the ignore list. That’s way too few for me.

No need to be gatekeepers, just let me blacklist entire genres, publishers and studios.

You can measure their despair level by counting the number of “OpenAI says” articles per week.

English, MF, do you speak it?!

I used it quite a bit right at the beginning, when it was transitioning from being a “Pre-HTML Processor” templating utility to a proper language.

The syntax was nice and easy to pick up. The rest was pretty bad, a lot of security was left to the developer following best practices.

It improved with time, but it had already left a bad impression on me.

I know it’s still popular, as you can tell from the downvotes.

Here it is.

When you want to distract the voters from something you are about to do that is massively unpopular, simply point them to a target. Chinese, communist, emigrants, you choose. You have the media machines to do it. Easy.
