Nothing pisses me off more than shows, movies, or games that you literally cannot buy with legitimate means yet every single time someone tries to preserve it they get in trouble with whoever holds the rights. It’s like bro, I am more than willing to pay for it if you’d let me. The reason people are trying to preserve your show, movie, or video game is literally because you won’t let us give you money for it and even when you do let us pay for it you make it worse on purpose to make more money (I.e. ads and subscription tiers)

Good thing is that it made me remember I had Nitro on autopay from 4 years ago. Been meaning to cancel it for years and the reminder was much appreciated.

I have not seen a single person say this is a good idea. From Reddit, to Twitter, to Bluesky, and Lemmy. It’s pretty much universally hated everywhere you go.

Didn’t Ring recently make an agreement with Flock or something like that to share Ring camera footage with ICE?

They’re just reading the room. They’re not doing it because they think israel is bad, they’re doing it because it’s economically disastrous to do so. Within the next few years the US will be in the same position if it keeps going the way it is. We’ll be too “high risk.”

They should just make a YouTube video. That’s what everyone is watching anyway.

Yeah but space is cold so it’ll be more efficient. /s

Yeah, but what about $7.99?

The only people that want to move on from the Epstein files are those that are in the Epstein files. Literally everyone else is ready to see consequences.

Yet they were so strict in redacting the names of everyone involved that actually commited any crimes. So strict, in fact, that they accidentally redacted the word “don’t.” I’m just speculating here, but “don’t” and “Don T” are a little too close for it to be just a coincidence in my opinion.

Bro what I’m the only one that paid for a ticket this is bullshit.

I mean, their advertising obviously worked. We all recognize those names even though more than half barely even do sponsorships anymore or not at all. Instead of making commercials look like memes they just flooded the internet and let us make the memes for them.

Here’s something I do that helps with “feeling old” when people point out things that happened 20 or so years ago.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion came out 20 years ago, but what was I actually doing 20 years ago? I was like 10 or 11 years old in middle school and my brother’s friend let him borrow the game over the weekend. It was my first open world RPG and I was so excited to play it and could barely even comprehend how big it was. I’ve basically lived two thirds of my life since then. My first job, moving out of my parents, my first apartment, getting my drivers license, my first car, my first real girlfriend, all of my neices and nephews being born, going to an amusement park for the first time, going to a movie theater for the first time, and basically everything else I can think of because I sure as shit don’t remember much from before I was 10 years old. So pretty much everything important that has ever happened in my entire life was between the time of Oblivion coming out and now.

So yeah, we are definitely getting older. But that doesn’t mean the time in between was just nothing. It feels like 2006 was yesterday because we often gloss over everything in between and don’t really focus on what was actually going on in our lives at the time.

Edit: spelling

So now everytime they shoot someone they can just claim the footage is evidence and can’t be released while also convincing some people they don’t need to film anymore. That’s my guess, at least.

I feel like 75% of the hate for this game is literally just because they had a trailer at the end of the game awards that nobody liked. I kinda feel bad for the devs. The game isn’t amazing, but it doesn’t deserve this much hate.

It was a pretty decent movie and a good effort for his first try. I watched it on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised with it. I’ve been a fan of Markiplier for about 7 years and have looking forward to it for years. Unfortunately it’s really hard to find honest reviews of it because there are his hardcore fans that will say it’s the best movie they’ve ever seen while critics hate it by default because it’s a “YouTuber movie.” Personally I thought it was a solid effort and a 6 or 7 out of 10. It was a passion project and I always respect people that do projects just for the sake of doing them.

My advice if you wanna see it is try forget that he’s a YouTuber, even if you are a fan of him, and go into it the same way you would with any indie film. Will make it 10x more enjoyable.

My hope is that someone with a sense of vengeance gets fucked over by this and starts taking revenge on everyone else involved. I’d absolutely love to see these pieces of shit eat themselves alive. With how evil these people are there is no way in hell they don’t have dirt on each other.

Bro, I get advertisements for sexbots and nudify apps on YouTube. All of them link to the app store.

Edit: tried to test the theory and it seems they have suddenly disappeared. Currently getting flooded with ads for TurboTax and financial advice. Will be back if I find one.

I’m mixed on this. While I love more money for Blender, I don’t like it when big companies invest a lot of money into open-source projects. They tend to treat the investment the same way stockholders treat corporations. At the same time Blender has become such a huge part of VFX in general that it’d be stupid not to invest in Blender. I’ve been using Blender for 10+ years and these days it’s just as robust, in some cases moreso, as most commercially available software.

My point is this could be a very good thing for Blender or a bad thing for the average user. We’ll just have to wait and see and hope for the best.
