    The sole purpose of the Steam forums is for baby gamer brains and Nazis to cry about how their toys offended them.

    Absolutely nothing of value would be lost by shutting them down.

      If I was just a clueless gamer type with no political awareness whatsoever, I could see myself liking this logo if it didn’t have the eyes, just the visor. Ahh, a cool classic-style logo of a Visor Guy from the halcyon Visor Days of the 2000s. But then it has the angry eyes, which is just like…off-putting? It’s a small detail, I know, but it parallels the whole situation: reactionaries claim to want to return something to the uncomplicated good old days, but their every effort to do so is undermined by how mad they are. In this and in real life, the distracting angry eyes they can’t help slapping onto every one of their thoughts, an unfufillable longing paired with an unceasing glower.

    100% convinced now that this is a psyop by unity to try and push people away from better alternatives to their awful engine and business practices.

    It’s okay to admit you want to make a game but are too lazy or don’t have the time or don’t know how to make a game, you don’t have to make excuses about the tools being “woke”

    What did Godot do?

    Edit: Nevermind I trawled through raw sewage myself to find out. They posted a tweet asking game devs to show their woke games. Chuds are so goddamned pathetic.

    Their lifelong dream… That they could accomplish at any time with one of the many other engines available. Or they could learn to build their own. Either this is a 12 year old or the most touristy of tourists.

    I saw youtube recommend me a video about how “Godot is destroying itself”.

    I was worried that something bad must have happened, since I plan on trying the engine out in the future, but the video was just chuds being chuds isn’t it?

      Encrypting save games

      Why?

      Because the world today is not the world of yesterday. A capitalist oligarchy runs the world and forces us to consume in order to keep the gears of this rotten society on track. As such, the biggest market for video game consumption today is the mobile one. It is a market of poor souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with tremendous existential angst), so they go as far as spending money on them to extend their experience, and their preferred way of doing so is through in-app purchases and virtual currency.

      But what if someone were to find a way to edit the saved games and assign the items and currency without effort? That would be terrible, because it would help players consume the content much faster, and therefore run out of it sooner than expected. If that happens, they will have nothing that prevents them from thinking, and the tremendous agony of realizing their own irrelevance would again take over their life. No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let’s see how to encrypt savegames and protect the world order.
