Half-Life 2 wasn’t designed to be a great game. It was designed to launch a digital storefront that allowed Valve to rake in 30% of all revenue for games sold on the platform - which is often a larger percentage than is paid to the actual people making the games.
Those things aren’t mutually exclusive. It was used to launch Steam, but it was also an objectively great game because Valve cares about their craft.
Phone batteries are shit, so I prefer to game on a separate device.

Lmao, I’ll check it out. Thx.
Because anything and everything about this administration is for sale.
Is it going to be more of that freemium crap? Because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED the first game, can’t tell you how many times I happily bought across how many platforms. The second game though was a huge letdown. The switch to free-to-play with an emphasis on microtransactions was a huge mistake that ruined the integrity of the game.
What the fuck, these people are fucking insane.
So communist governments that have used media control, militarism, cronyism, violated human rights, etc., aren’t left-wing?
Except left-wing nationalism is a thing that exists. And those aren’t the only tools of fascism. Fascists are known to control mass media, but thats not inherently a right wing thing. Corruption and cronyism aren’t mutually exclusive to the right. Military supremacy isn’t inherently right wing. What am I missing here?
Lol, no I don’t. What the hell happened in that show??
Does it put the option to connect everything front and center? Because most people are dumb, and if it makes it easy and pushes you to do it, I could see a lot of dumb people doing exactly that.
Good god, I didn’t even think about that, but yeah, that makes total sense. Good god, people are beyond stupid.
We need the corporate death penalty.
The skill instructs agents to fetch and follow instructions from Moltbook’s servers every four hours. As Willison observed: “Given that ‘fetch and follow instructions from the internet every four hours’ mechanism we better hope the owner of moltbook.com never rug pulls or has their site compromised!”
Yeah, no shit. This is a fucking honeypot. People give these AI agents access to their entire computers, so all the site owner has to do is update the instructions to tell the AI agents to start uploading whatever valuable information they want? People can’t be this fucking stupid.
Its not a virus, but it is corporate spyware.
