Infrasound and data centers and noise pollution. Interesting research presented and the experiment he did is also super interesting as well as collecting samples of infrasound outside of data centers.

Another example George w bush loves to play pretend that he's a 'dumb redneck' meanwhile he graduated from a ivy league school Harvard Business School specifically. Meanwhile his father George H.W. Bush was a oil baron and a former president and the former head of the cia under Ronald Reagan.

My heart is full of gratitude and there are still 20 days left of the bundle

what a freakin bargain. multiple @alienmelon.bsky.social games; extreme meatpunks forever; a frasier crane RPG; more solo & multiplayer tabletop games you can feasibly play in one lifetime. get in one this, and maybe toss them a couple bucks more than the minimum ask

Steam, Moderation, Toxicity, and “this shouldn’t be normal”

i wrote a post so i can stop thinking about it...

"I'm not sure there will even be the bridge building and discussions needed, between gamers and developers, to create something better. You can't have that if it's always turned into an "us VS them" argument."

if you’re passionate about the medium of games, we’re building something special!!

They should go on a forum to discuss and rant about politics. Get off Steam where people are supposed to play video games not complain in reviews about "wokeness" or "DEI". Like, Get your angry incel politics out of my video game space. I remember a time when gamers actually focused on games. 3/3

Defending the ability to continue to harass and abuse developers and give bad ratings because devs don't align with their personal politics makes me think they aren't real gamers. Like it's not about enjoying video games it's all about bitching about politics. 2/3

Games are supposed to be fun yet the mainstream community around it is so violent and unhinged and go down the incel ideology rabbit hole so often. All I wanna do is play games with friends and read reviews that are ABOUT THE GAME. Using slurs, belittling the dev, ect. is not a game review. 1/3

also i do appreciate the irony of them proving the point. all i said was that steam should enforce their own community guidelines by removing reviews that are outright abusive.
then they take that as proof that Valve is ok with that behavior… *maybe* they’re right about Valve but it’s still not ok.

“how dare you call me out on my racist sexist comment. here’s more racist sexist harassment to punish you.”
i will never understand why gamers frame gaming as this type of angry violent thing, where they will defend any and all abuse.

I love all the DM and emails telling me that you enjoy the game but please copy and paste that onto steam as a review. I read them all so it's the same effect

Please and thank you 😊

This is bait for me in particular isn’t it?
The Arts and Crafts movement was in no small part about valuing craftsmanship and the conditions in which something is produced. And it was absolutely RIFE with socialists. So, yes, let’s go 😁

If it's horror games then it should be called "dark arts and crafts games"

arts & crafts games sounds like the most ideal genre for games to be in many respects if you ask me lol

a screenshot of a comment saying i make arts and crafts projects that i pass off as games

new video game genre just dropped:
“arts and crafts games”
let’s go!! 😎💃💅🎨🖌️✂️🤘

She wanted everyone to read, so she opened a library that never closes (1983) YouTube video by CBS Evening News

Ok. Here's something wholesome and from 1983. Librarian creates a free library where you can just come and take a book. It expanded into a big catalog of books as people donated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aahk...

Setting aside for one moment the obvious, that bigotry and hatred should not be acceptable in any situation, this is the burning question:

How much effing free time do people have to spend spewing hate? I barely get to midnight doing what I must do, and the little I have left, I try to relax.

‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront Multiple game creators describe ineffective moderation on the platform, resulting in unchecked hatred in forums and targeted campaigns of negative ‘anti-woke’ reviews
