a "publishing oversight"

Yeah sure it was buddy, we know the truth. The CPC have gone fully woke just like the CBC, the CRTC, and the CIBC. They're just trying to cover it up for the election. If you're truly anti-woke vote PPC for freedom.

The audience participating in the performance by pretending that it's real is central to the meaning of kayfabe. That never changed, even if it only recently expanded to some media that's in your news feed.

How do people even say that kind of thing with a straight face? It's like claiming that coal is "net zero" if you use solar power to feed it into the furnace.

It might. If some day they don't control the browser, whoever does control it might be hesitant to build in features that are only there to spy on users for Google. Cookies do at least have some other uses.

Nobody talks about multiculturalism any more, I think people have forgotten what it is — including many people who live in the midst of it.

As I heard about it — mostly from people who migrated to mastodon — the "verified" nonsense on old Twitter was the cause of many problems. But I was never there myself, so all I really know is that I'd want no part of it.

The AI-generated speech animations are strangely exaggerated like it's some kind of lip reading training program. There's no hair physics. You don't get a shadow in first-person mode. The persuasion minigame UI looks worse than it used to. Sometimes the NPCs look off to the side while they're talking to you as if the camera's in the wrong place. Considering that the main point is to make the old game look nicer, they seem to have neglected a lot of little details.

Brilliant marketing trick: Keep people waiting for the next game in the huge blockbuster series for 14 years and they'll be eager for whatever they get

Eribees and Mortalbeef will be streaming it on Twitch as soon as they can download it, along with many others. Might be interesting.

Come on Bluesky, try to hold it together long enough to finish taking out Twitter before you go for complete enshittification.
