It's also powered by ChatGPT, and by powered I mean it's literally chatGPT and a bunch of code I stole thanks to YouTube videos anyways GIVE ME MONEY.

That hole has served us greatly

It's more of a space for indie games without having the barrier of dealing with Steam and all that set up.

Like if I wanted to make a game about pooping in my neighbor's yard, I can just upload the game to itch and have it ready for people to play. (Or sell it too).

With Steam, you have a significantly bigger set up. There so many more things to configure, things that a indie dev may not be ready to answer yet. Not to mention, it opens up the door to reviews and criticism from the "general gaming public".

It's common for most indie devs to use itch.io to test run their game ideas with a small crowd before launching it on Steam.

My dude, this is one of the strangest hills I have ever seen someone defend with such animosity.

Layoffs and studio closures have been an unfortunately-common occurrence across the industry since last year, with layoffs in 2024 already matching 2023's total of over 10,000 developers being put out of work. Yet if there is one bright spot to find in this bleak reality, it is, ironically, in the same city as the departed Tango. Its closure, undeniably tragic, is an exception in a country seemingly insulated from the industry-wide devastation occurring beyond its borders.

It's a trend across the industry in the country. In my own conversations with Japanese developers, many have acknowledged the concerns for friends in the industry internationally while admitting a level of confidence and job security that simply no longer exists no matter the company beyond Japanese borders.

Under Japanese employment law, layoffs are incredibly difficult to implement – unless the company is under severe financial difficulty and at risk of insolvency in a manner layoffs could alleviate, after other cost-saving measures have been undertaken, layoffs for permanent employees are all-but impossible.

When I lived in a small town, it was a bunch of ready crusty ass neighborhoods, some creepy meth houses, and no trees for blocks.

I'd ride my bike to the gym so I could run on the treadmill because it was gnarly outside.

Nah. Our stupid ass government only recently started hiring hackers who smoke weed. But even then, there's too much stupid red tape.

“Both the NSA and the DOD have a ton of talented hackers, yet when it comes to actually performing disruptive cyber operations, for some reason we as a country are just frozen and scared,” Caceres says. “And that needs to change.”

He points to ransomware actors, mostly based in Russia, who extracted more than a billion dollars of extortion fees from victim companies in 2023 while crippling hospitals and government agencies. North Korea–affiliated hackers, meanwhile, stole another $1 billion in cryptocurrency last year, funneling profits into the coffers of the Kim regime. All of that hacking against the West, he argues, has been carried out with relative impunity. “We sit there while they hack us,” Caceres says.

It also doesn't help that the Republican Party have outright praised Russia, which means they're already inside.

Hey my dude. I'll cat call you if you want.

Damn bro you hot as fuck no homo. Like shit man, you rocking that shirt like you belong in a museum of sexy ass motherfuckers no homo. Damn man if I was into dudes, I'd want your body all over mines no homo.

Anyways have a nice day.

Wait people leave kimchi out of the fridge?

Putting it in the fridge slows the fermentation process to trap the right flavor. Otherwise it's a bit TOO kimchi-y and not so tasty.

I just realized ketchup in restaurants stay out at room temperature.

I always had ketchup in the fridge because it gives the mustard company.

I read that in the 90s and having burned through thousands of batteries to power my Gameboy, i would have done anything to get more juice.

You could have literally told me that kissing the battery before you tuck it into the Gameboy slot gave 3% more juice and I would have did it.

Many people believe it’s an astounding $18 after a post on X of McDonald’s menu prices at a rest stop in Connecticut went viral and made national headlines. (Narrator voice: It’s not.)

Now, almost a year after the post, a top McDonald’s executive wants to set the record straight. In a recent letter, Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, said $18 for a Big Mac combo was the “exception” and not the norm across all 13,700 restaurants in the country.

The average price of a Big Mac in the US was $4.39 in 2019,” Erlinger said in his recent letter. “Despite a global pandemic and historic rises in supply chain costs, wages and other inflationary pressures in the years that followed, the average cost is now $5.29. That’s an increase of 21% (not 100%),” he added.
