Where i live you pay for a petition to change your name. My brother's filed for a name change 20 years ago to change their last name to my mother's maiden name and they had to hire a lawyer to get it done.

One of my wifes friends did it, basically had to pay a $100 fee at the court, and publish something in the newspaper announcing it for some reason. Wasn't that hard and definitely more useful than buying another Dave's Double.

Why is the responsibility on us, and not on Blow to not be a shitty person? Sounds he should have cultivated a better image to help protect his employees.

You guys are not gonna bitch anymore when a shitty studio goes under and people celebrate?

[Uncle]

It's always fun how people in these threads poke at Blow, but forget that there are around 20 people working at his studio at a given time.

I didn't force those people to work for a widely known shitbag. For eight years.

They care so much about job loses.

I don’t even remember what Blow did.

I think 10 years ago or something he said that men are more naturally wired to become programmers than women

I get him mixed up with phil fish

I think fish was the one who told a japanese fan to his face that his people aren't good at making video games anymore



they both have normal-ass name plus random word

Phil Fish
Jonathan Blow
Brian Toenail
James Egg
Steve Thong
Matt Tractor

He was and thank god he did. There might not be a Japanese gaming industry anymore if he didn’t speak up.

Guy, I need y'alls help. I just realized it's been 20 years since I lived in the South West and ate at an In and Out Burger. 
Can someone Uber Eats a Double Double combo to me? The closest one to Wisconsin is in Colorado. It's about a 1000 mile drive. I know that sounds expensive but if I don't get one soon I will have to un-alive myself. There is no other choice and I know y'all don't want my blood on your hands.

I have a fully stocked fridge and pantry but no Double Doubles. Need y'alls help before I starve.

Bro if you're in Wisconsin, just get Culver's

Real talk,
I was a bit disappointed the first time I had In and Out. I was actually eating it thinking I liked Culver's better. Don't get me wrong, In and Out is a good burger but the Double Deluxe.

I also miss Del Taco (don't judge me) and El Pollo Loco.

Coincidence that Israel does this the day after there military is caught raping a Palestinian prisoner and its citizens are protesting for the soldiers release from custody?

Israel arrests soldier for raping a prisoner. Resetera = Can't you see they undertook this significant military decision to cover it up and distract us while they quietly campaign to get the soldier released. Fucking dirty JEWS ZIONISTS!!!!

Palestinians rape hostages repeatedly. Resetera = Was the rape SYSTEMIC or just basic rape? Did anyone ask what the hostage was wearing? Did she tweet anything vaguely right wing?

As much as I loathe musk and can't really write what I wish upon him, at least he's overt, he's a known quantity as he keeps blasting he's a piece of shit billionaire white nationalist.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg essentially got away with his shitty platform being involved in what should have been its downfall, and I can't even name off the top of my head whoever the fuck should be the face of YouTube and the constant damage its algorithm has wreaked over the past decade.

I’m not a fan of either Musk or Zuckerberg but I don’t follow why the fuck you want them off to jail.

I love how they use "billionaire" as if it is some sort of character flaw or -ism or -phobia.

User threadbanned pending further review: inflammatory accusations toward other users

How was this an inflammatory accusation. What else are you supposed to garner from someone condescendingly remarking that there was a justified reason for riots?

"Well, you see, that user, most likely a Jew, pointed out that, well...you know what? You're threadbanned too. Don't make me have a conversation with the mods about your behaviour."

The funny thing is that he is an Israeli that is against “Israel occupation of Palestine”. But his sin is that he is realistic and has contradicted HamasEra on why stuff is the way it is.

Musk is a divorced as fuck guy who has a lot of fucking money and time

his action do not surprise me in the least.

giving him and his antics any real attention only emboldens him honestly.

I have said it forever but Era and its type spend so much time and energy going "look at this thing that sucks" not realizing that even if you think you are pointing and laughing at said thing....you are still giving it the attention it wants regardless as they generally can just shrug it off as you are a hater or the ole jokes on you I was simply pretending to be retarded.

If they spent more time and energy on uplifting things they actually like (and by that I don't mean see this is what the chuds hate lolololol....as that is rather repellant IMO) , they'd be a lot happier. But they don't want to be happy they love being miserable and want everyone to join them. They enjoy complaining about the chuds and feeling superior.

Dude, you didn't have to do us all so hard...

I forgot that Blow was being an ass during Covid.  

I will say, I think they are overestimating the today indie scene if they think it was Blow acting like an asshole what killed the game. I think you need to be Toby Fox to people give a fuck about individual indie creators, or releasing games hyper regularly like PuppetCombo and that Japanese indie horror guy. 

If anything, the death of the art game scene is because assholes creators, fans, enablers and haters.

[Potato]

Well, the indie game scene was invaded by a bunch of gender people and DEI consultants and everything indie sucks and now no one cares because all the indie creators doing innovative stuff have either been hired by big studios or have their own mid studio.

What was the last indie game that did something original? What was the last indie game that didn't emphasise gender and racial politics over actual innovative gameplay?

[nachobro]

vampire survivors and balatro aren't innovative gameplay but are extremely fun

ElNerdo is another specially stupid user with a Spanish name.  

They needs someone with as little as baggage as possible. And if they have any, let it be small things. No money issues, no sexual assault issues, no Palestine issues. No anti-progressive issues.

There is not U.S. politician that would satisfy you in this. Except some members of The Squad, everyone will support Israel. 

I think people here are massively overblowing how much the average voter across the country would care about Shapiro's "baggage" that keeps being brought up in these threads.

 If it was enough to hurt Biden, it's enough to hurt Kamala/Shapiro.

But it didn’t.  

You guys are delusional if you think the regular voter was thinking about “Genocide Joe doing genocide” as a reason to not vote for him.

Again, I wish it ends being Shapiro just to piss you all.

Yeah, but I don’t think most will know who are the designers of those games. They are also pure videogamey games compared with the indies getting press and awards of ten years ago.

Trying to Twitter use to an immoral support of fascism just isn't really a meaningful argument.

For one, it's still too big of a space for any given political faction to have meaningful curation over, left or right, meaning the presence of Nazis is less about direct gatekeeping and more tied to larger material conditions that is inevitably going to produce Nazis within a given population after a certain amount of time. It's the difference between a bar and a country- the bar owner can keep Nazis out, the President cannot.

Second, it ignores every other platform that has and- most importantly- continues to have a hand in bolstering fascism through donations, misinformation, horrible moderation, right-wing algorithms, etc., which in turn muddies the argument down into less of an honest concern with fascism and minority well-being and more of a problem with Musk himself, where the issue is more that he's just an embarrassing white person than any actual concern for the usual victims of fascism. More elaboration on this point in this video's intro here.

Third, it is a platform that people do seriously use for all kinds of communication, networking, and promotional work. It isn't just artists (although artists matter as well). Telling people inextricably tied to capitalism, in conditions where the price of living is going up, where jobs that actually are able to compensate for that are getting rarer and rarer, to essentially "get another job" by not using Twitter if it is part of their work is nonsense. It has the same pull as conservatives making fun of those on economic assitance, and it has the same pull as liberals telling coal miners to "just code" back in the day when they were pretending to give a shit.

Fourth, and most importantly, it's an argument that doesn't actually engage with the material conditions I mentioned above. Solving fascism as it were is mainly about preventing people (namely white men, because it's usually you guys) from going down rabbit holes that provide easy answers for why their lives are so shitty, which is mainly due to the fact that we live in a capitalist hellhole that isn't interested in providing a dignified existence to most people, which in turn clashes with beliefs about American meritocracy and white superiority and thus produces a cognitive dissonance that is easily rectified with scapegoating minorities. You can shut Twitter off right now and unfortunately MAGA will still be there.

Regardless, if you are seriously trying to get people off of Twitter, you need to actually provide an alternative that is functionally better and more convenient. Bluesky and Threads seem to simply be merely the same as Twitter but without the install base, which is not going to move people in the drove you want. Shaming people certainly isn't going to do it, especially when you can go to another thread on this very forum and see people seriously engaging with Democratic politicking and organization being done on Twitter.

Here's the artists essential usage of Twitter from the last month:

Salacious Variety 'Megalopolis' Video A Sham, Says Rayna Menz, The Extra Shown With Francis Coppola

I mean, I want this to be true, but it's also not uncommon that coerced remarks like this come out to keep a movie's marketing from getting completely derailed and I believe there were other people on set that came out and corroborated the reports of his behavior so… I don't know, man.

I'll remain neutral on this, I guess.

Believe women?
