Yup. I understood when they made the $1 minimum but pay what you what has basically been fraud for years now, ever since they started locking games behind an actual price. It's just a bundle sale, and it's not humble anymore

Oh great, another reason for me to not subscribe. Humble bundle stopped being so humble like a decade ago

So we're calling legitimate criticism review bombing now?

Yes with an emulator. Look up dolphin for the gamecube version or torzu for switch. Dolphin + gamecube will be easier to run if your laptop isn't very powerful

Right. I can watch a restream of 15+ tiktok lives in the middle of the action, why would I watch fox news push narratives for 55min an hour, with a 5min clip of a burning car or someone spraying graffiti

Put it in a laptop

I'd have switched years ago if I could get the economy of scale that a restaurant does

I mean, in a lot of ways the social media takeover is the antithesis to freedom of information. It's all siloed off echo chambers where it used to be free flowing, publicly available, indexable and searchable.

I still believe in the freedom of information goal more than ever, but fighting for it in the post information era is increasingly difficult (and important)

Yeah it's pretty bleak, although there have been some moves towards right to repair in recent years.

Respecting companies is always a bit fraught though. Even the ones you like are only doing it to profit off of your niche. It's thanks to us that they even have a profitable niche to serve

AA is where it's at now. There's still insanely good games coming out, there just not by companies like EA and Activision anymore.

In some ways I think the good development studios are the same size they've always been, it's just that a new class of mainstream games has risen to profit on the masses. If you ignore those, it's not so bad. At least not until one of the AAA publishers gets their hands on them to ruin the IP and layoff the original devs

You have to go back like 30 years to get to a pro-repair Apple
