BD89@lemmy.sdf.orgto Horror Games@piefed.world•Saturnalia studio's "deeply unsettling" horror Horses has a release date but there's a significant hitch if you were hoping to play it on Steam3·3 months agoThe ‘why’ came as a shock to the studio. “While we strive to ship most titles submitted to us,” Steam’s automated response read, “we found that this title features themes, imagery, or descriptions that we won’t distribute. Regardless of a developer’s intentions with their product, we will not distribute content that appears, in our judgment, to depict sexual conduct involving a minor. While every product submitted is unique, if your product features this representation—even in a subtle way that could be defined as a ‘grey area’—it will be rejected by Steam.”
Nor, says Pietro, would Valve elaborate on its rejection, despite repeated requests for clear answers in the months that followed. “Did they think that the protagonist looked too young?,” he ponders, “Did they think that the horses look too young? Did they think that some of the actors in the live-action sequence looked young?” In a lengthy FAQ detailing the ban, now available on its website, Santa Ragione notes all characters in Horses are "clearly older than 20 years old, as communicated by their appearance and through dialogue and documents that you will encounter in the game."
Yeah gonna have to disagree with you there chief. This is some dumbass stupid censorship. You can play games on steam where you bend people over a bar and fuck them.
Those people are also older than 20 years old. So what makes this different?
This is surely some of the fallout of MasterCard and Visa swinging their dicks around and being pouty that humans like sex and some people want to consume legal content that contains it. (Edit: actually this one point doesn’t stand as he said later that this was before Valve bowed down to the financial processing overlords and did mass adult bans)
BD89@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots)English362·3 months agoThe way they are forcing AI on everyone and into every aspect of their browser especially when a large part of the people who use Firefox hates that shit is going to end Firefox.
The reason you don’t hear it about all those other browsers is because people have always known they don’t give a fuck what the end user wants.
Firefox used to be different. But all good things deteriorate over time. Watching it happen in real time to a browser we all use and used to love is why you see it so much posted especially in places with like minded individuals like Lemmy.

I mean its a joke, but how unlikely would it be really?
Yes they will absolutely fuck you on it IF they even allow it at all.
You know, in the spirit of “free markets” and all that bull shit.

I assumed it would all be some weird proprietary hardware that wouldn’t work in a regular computer setup but I’ve never really read up on it.

BD89@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fearsEnglish1·3 months agoIt’s an extremely volatile asset. I think last “bull run” cycle it lost like 40% of its top.
But it also gained that 40% on the way up too.
Its just a gamble. I like crypto but memecoins and the like have bastardized it into something that, in my opinion, it wasn’t ever supposed to be.

Not saying I agree with what he did or what you said, but facts are facts.
He was part of some of the same experiments that were a part of MKULTRA.
