How about: No arms deals with any entity that indiscriminately murders innocent people, women, and children?

A demo recently dropped on Steam for Robocop: Rogue City. I only just heard about this early in the week, and promptly forgot about it, expecting more trashy, low-quality licensed cruft.

But the demo dropped last night in advance of Steam Next Fest, so I gave it a try.

I am BLOWN AWAY. Like, dumbfounded. It's like Soldier of Fortune and Fear had a baby and Deus Ex was the nanny. And on top of that, it is painstakingly faithful to the Verhoeven film and it's sequel... from the music to the fact that they actually got Peter Weller to reprise his role as Murphy/Robocop. It is a love letter to Verhoeven's RoboCop.

This game just came out of nowhere and blew my mind. I can't believe more people aren't talking about it. The demo is on Steam right now... and it's a pretty big, meaty demo, too. I know there's a lot of really good stuff out there right now, but take some time out to try the demo.

I am so happy for them and proud of them. This is the correct response to unnecessary layoffs or any other worker abuse. I hope more people in the industry will follow their example!

DRM ONLY ever affects paying customers, ergo DRM is always unethical malware.

Also, let’s never forget how Ghostwire Tokyo had Denuvo patched IN over a year after release.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

Spent a few hours trying to fix the broken ultrawide support. Eventually, the good old hex edit fix for aspect ratios on the EXE did the trick. After that, the FOV was messed up, but the game doesn't have an FOV slider (or HDR, or DLSS)... so eventually I managed to fix that with a custom ini.

The next few hours was spent shooting pirates like I was playing Far Cry in Space, and struggling with the game's horrifically designed UI, menus, and inventory. So far, I am feeling very angry about the game. Like we were flat-out lied to about what the game was. There is no exploration. There's barely even "space". You just teleport from map to map shooting pirates... with a little scanning creatures and mining rocks mixed in. I don't understand how anyone is okay with this.

Yes, Bernie, we know. We will because we have no other choice. Because of how absolutely broken and corrupt our entire political system is, we can vote for a ideologically repugnant lame-duck conservative or a literal fascist.

No matter how much we hate Biden and the DNC's corrupt, self-serving conservatism, we still have two brain cells to rub together and do, in fact, understand that "both sides" are most definitely NOT the same.

The data was already there. Twenty years of it. Remote work is not remotely new. They chose to ignore it because executive fee-fees are more important than facts and data.

Yep. Congress gave the U.S. Secretary of Education the right to do it. But the terrorist party and their illegitimate puppets in SCOTUS decided that, no, a Constitutional law passed by Congress was not valid because... reasons. Can't let those "libs" ever enact something that is popular, fair, legal, and beneficial...

So yes, everyone should blame SCOTUS and the GOP because they are solely responsible for putting us all in this horrible position.
