Not sure if I care enough about pirate software to bring this up on the show. If his recent controversy ended at hardcore wow it would be an easy skip. But holy shit he's really done it now lol

Dielan the irate pirate finally shows himself to be the jackass I always thought he was. He’s managed to release somehow less playable content than Grummz in the same amount of time.

We should talk about Love and Deepspace next time

tl;Dr its a gacha otome game targeting women. Plenty of discourse online about it

Those arguing it's not a goooner game have been thrown under the bus by this new character promo:

FWIW I support this game. It's just seeing Double-Standards in the coverage is delicious

I don't have this patience to read this right now but this might be sometbing

Remember that one time Nick C got baited by a fake source and had to basically give up on reporting on culture war stuff?

Turns out SmashJT's biggest hater did the same thing to him

Keeping my eye on this

@SkoomaDealer remember that Spotify AI podcast thing?

Google had something called Notebookllm and one of the nostr app devs put the whole repo through it, out the other end came a decent explanation by an AI

I’ve built myself a podcast episode out of Notebookllm too. It’s… eerily capable.

I saw someone joking about this headline and thought to myself, "this can't be real". But it was

Was tempted to reply to this tweet with something snarky like "back in my day the oversexualization of women in video games was one-dimensonal western girls with their tits out, now its this?" But I am showing restraint 😇

SkoomaDealer

Dad took off his belt for this one. I think he was very fair in the way he criticized and didn’t play nice for the diversity points like he has been over the last few AAA games.

Dielan

SkoomaDealer oh shit I did not expect that

I'll be giving this a watch after work

Dielan I honestly never had an issue with Smedley. He just got unlucky with rabid unreasonable fans. We've all seen the chat in PS2, we know the crowd. Hope he's allowed to make something this time around, still bitter about Hero's Song.

SkoomaDealer

Victim what’s a Hero’s Song. I don’t remember a game around that.

7 part thread that outlines the strike if anyone was curious about it. Khoi's always been a pretty reasonable dude.
