Yeah he really wants to get out in front of the eventual revelation that he’s shockingly on the list. We definitely already know that though so one again taco don has shit more than his pants.

Get out of the tunnel and swab the gunnel!

You can “No True Scotsman” as hard as you want but they’re nailing this shit to your church door like that was the only part they learned.

I’m deeply disappointed you didn’t take the chance to go with “Ditch the caves, hit the waves!”

It really sounds like you’ve misunderstood what this change is actually doing. This isn’t steam forcing you to use a particular language, those settings aren’t going anywhere. It’s also not going to force you to see reviews in the game’s native language either, so your worry about “french reviews of French games made in france” is just… wrong. What it’s doing is sorting reviews by language, under the idea that reviews written in the language you use are probably more relevant to you. And if even that is unacceptable, you can disable the whole system to keep it just the way it is.

This actually means you’re MORE likely to get reviews that are more accurate. First, because it limits the impact of regional review bombing. Now if a game upsets one particular population, their review bombing doesn’t render the whole score meaningless. It’s worth pointing out, games have been heavily review bombed for the sin of competing with, or beating, other regionally popular games for awards. It also means that if the content of a game hits better, or worse, for a demographic based on language, that will be reflected here. If the game is getting rave reviews where it was made, but the translations and voice work for YOUR localization are terrible, you will see reviews that reflect that. You probably don’t care how great the voice acting was in the native Chinese version if you only speak English, and what may seem culturally brilliant to a Japanese audience may lose a lot of the impact for you.

I just want to use my currency and being able to just speak English.

This change was made with you in mind.

No it’s pretty obvious that he wasn’t targeting the girl, we’re not saying he should be charged with various flavors of battery and sexual assault because we thought he meant it to hit her. And calling it just “a prank for the athletes” can fuck all the way off.

Looks like those topics are incredibly popular! Replace the missing volumes and expand the section!

They’re so close to actual understanding of how much they suck.

Yeah they can’t say because who fucking knows what tariffs will or won’t be in place next week, much less when the thing launches.

“It’s just a joke! Unless…”

In what reality would that be a healthy thing to do?

No. I know it hurts, but you need to let go.

Okay but are any AI chatbots really open source? Isn’t half the headache with LLMs the fact that there comes a point where it’s basically impossible for even the authors to decode the tangled madness of their machine learning?

Okay but also giving a kid a sex toy before their 18th birthday is how you end up on a list and have to tell your neighbors about it.

Itch delisted ALL Nsfw games, rather than sorting and qualifying content.

Well that’s certainly optimistic.

Well signatures and phone calls only go so far. When it comes to big, serious, literal life or death issues, petitions just aren’t going to get the job done and it becomes pretty pointless to waste your energy on that particular course of action.

Similarly, it’s pretty shitty to act like action on smaller issues means we’re just ignoring bigger issues. Your concern for Idaho’s treatment of disabled kids isn’t instead of wanting Israel’s genocide to stop or the Ukraine war to end.

So peaceful words aren’t working? Well alright, sounds like it’s time for plan B.

Can you also verify that the vote it presents to be counted? Can you verify the counting? For every way to verify computerized voting, there are a dozen ways to compromise it.

Yeah it sounds fun unless you have any awareness of how this actually worked out when it was used in the past. Fully not okay.

That doesn’t really read to me like a good sign. If Krafton is willing to do what they did to Subnautica’s team, then basically no contract they sign is worth the paper it’s written on. Seeing them effectively murder their own project and dismantle a proven successful developer like this doesn’t inspire confidence that they’ll be more graceful in handling others.
