@npub1ykd…6j2y I finally created a bsky account because the last two days of Twitter have made me realize that Mastodon is just never gonna hit like that. This place is far too hinged

@npub1ykd…6j2y Helldivers 2 is an incredible clusterfuck, but generally in a good way. My experience has been that even when you get killed by your teammates it's more laugh-out-loud funny than anything else.
That said, it's very much a "game for gamers", if that makes any sense. It's got all the mechanics you'd expect from a Generic Third Person Shooter combined with the intentionally clunky weirdness of the Stratagem beacons, and even a modest helping of (optional but useful) stealth mechanics

@npub1ykd…6j2y well I guess the answer is just to hold on tight. Honestly it sort of fits thematically - some jobs are just never going to be completely safe, and the company doesn't really give a shit.

@npub1ykd…6j2y @npub1aw2…8vv5 there is an open source replacement software package but my experience was that the features/compatibility slowly rusted away and I gave up

@npub1g5t…xw4h to be honest, I don't even know if the servers are still up. But I believe it has local multiplayer. Kind of wild that there's a golf game with a swimming animation tho

This thread from @npub1hyk…3p33 is particularly interesting because I have been a proponent of the "defund the Nazi websites" strategy employed by (e.g.) Nandini Jammi. But Doctorow, following reporting from 404 Media, argues that "brand safety" backfires on progressives because corpos are also happy to avoid having their brands next to controversial journalistic topics. And anything that threatens oligarchy will inevitably be "controversial" through corpo perspectives

@npub1aw2…8vv5 the lack of cloud streaming is truly baffling to me. (I mean... also... the lack literally any on-device functionality. But, if it can already stream from PS5, why not PSN?)

going down a bit of rabbit hole learning about SlowROM vs FastROM chips for Super Nintendo, and of course it led me back to an 11-year-old forum thread started by Near.

@npub10p7…6uh9 @npub1hyk…3p33 not saying this is "good" exactly but I honestly think this is the least-bad thing involving NFTs that I have ever seen. Like if I had no idea what NFTs were and I walked past this building I might think they were something cool
