Huh. Do I miss Reddit markdown tables?

They bought BioWare in 2007, which is well after EA killed Bullfrog and a bunch of others I don’t remember.

I’d love consumerish tape storage for cold backups. I don’t really need random IO for archival stuff.

Every time I think “I wish I could just invest into thing X” where thing X is something I believe in and not harmful it’s pretty obvious that if it was open to investment it wouldn’t be thing X anymore.

There wouldn’t be Irish-domiciled USD accumulating funds for housing cooperative bonds in medium sized cities would there? Please?

Even if I think I was doing the least unethical thing by essentially manually doing a retirement account and buying super broad funds I feel icky about it. Literally doing capitalism.

Just so I understand. Parent posts their child with a visible physical disability, something I think is not cool for any child but I’m sure must be nice for people who have or help assist with similar disabilities, and I’m sure can be uplifting for those who don’t. Fine, I don’t like it (the content angle, not the concept of visibility of people not like me), but fine.

What the hell is the kindest possible interpretation of the AI edit? What does anyone gain from that? Am I missing something fundamental or are we just witnessing a pathologically cynical attempt at engagement farming? I don’t even think the commenter knows if they’re being supportive or just rage baiting, I feel like after a certain point it’s just content is content is numbers is numbers. I really need to read Baudrillard.

I always wonder what it means that people find this worth sharing or doing in the first place.

A few years ago it was 20% great 60% middling and 20% garbage.

It’s veering into 5:10:85 territory now but the occasional good ones are welcome. I think I buy more book bundles than games now

The sale to IGN is a big one, and they’ve been peddling crap on there since before the LLM apocalypse. Usually I’d see comments about safely ignoring any bundle with courses by Packt as a rule. But the state of PC gaming as a whole, indie gaming, the third party Steam key economy, the mass transition to subscription software, there’s way more going on that just makes the original Humble Bundles’ magic so much harder to do again
