  • Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language

    Jump

  • It really sounds like you've misunderstood what this change is actually doing. This isn't steam forcing you to use a particular language, those settings aren't going anywhere. It's also not going to force you to see reviews in the game's native language either, so your worry about "french reviews of French games made in france" is just... wrong. What it's doing is sorting reviews by language, under the idea that reviews written in the language you use are probably more relevant to you. And if even that is unacceptable, you can disable the whole system to keep it just the way it is.

    This actually means you're MORE likely to get reviews that are more accurate. First, because it limits the impact of regional review bombing. Now if a game upsets one particular population, their review bombing doesn't render the whole score meaningless. It's worth pointing out, games have been heavily review bombed for the sin of competing with, or beating, other regionally popular games for awards. It also means that if the content of a game hits better, or worse, for a demographic based on language, that will be reflected here. If the game is getting rave reviews where it was made, but the translations and voice work for YOUR localization are terrible, you will see reviews that reflect that. You probably don't care how great the voice acting was in the native Chinese version if you only speak English, and what may seem culturally brilliant to a Japanese audience may lose a lot of the impact for you.

    I just want to use my currency and being able to just speak English.

    This change was made with you in mind.

  • Man arrested after 12-year-old girl hit with sex toy at WNBA game

    Jump

  • No it's pretty obvious that he wasn't targeting the girl, we're not saying he should be charged with various flavors of battery and sexual assault because we thought he meant it to hit her. And calling it just "a prank for the athletes" can fuck all the way off.

  • Theft or civil disobedience? 16 volumes go missing after Shelbyville church urges members to check out, never return library books about LGBTQ+ people

    Jump

  • Looks like those topics are incredibly popular! Replace the missing volumes and expand the section!

  • The vibecoders are becoming sentient

    Jump

  • They're so close to actual understanding of how much they suck.

  • Microsoft Still Can't Say How Much the ROG Xbox Ally X Will Cost Due to "Macro-Economic" Conditions, Despite Announcing Release Date and Availability Details(Leaked prices $549.99/$899 for Ally/Ally )

    Jump

  • Yeah they can't say because who fucking knows what tariffs will or won't be in place next week, much less when the thing launches.

  • ‘Absolutely Disgusting’: Trump Sparks Fury By Joking He Can Cancel Future Elections If U.S. Gets Into a War

    Jump

  • "It's just a joke! Unless..."

  • Should you fantasize about having a relationship with someone you know who has expressed they are not interested in you?

    Jump

  • In what reality would that be a healthy thing to do?

    No. I know it hurts, but you need to let go.

  • Okay but are any AI chatbots really open source? Isn't half the headache with LLMs the fact that there comes a point where it's basically impossible for even the authors to decode the tangled madness of their machine learning?

  • NSFW

    How abnormal is it for a mother to buy her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday?

    Jump

  • Okay but also giving a kid a sex toy before their 18th birthday is how you end up on a list and have to tell your neighbors about it.

  • NSFW

    Where will nsfw game creators go now that itch.io has "changed"?

    Jump

  • Itch delisted ALL Nsfw games, rather than sorting and qualifying content.

  • Helion Secures Land and Begins Building on the Site of World’s First Fusion Power Plant

    Jump

  • Well that's certainly optimistic.

  • change_org

    Jump

  • Well signatures and phone calls only go so far. When it comes to big, serious, literal life or death issues, petitions just aren't going to get the job done and it becomes pretty pointless to waste your energy on that particular course of action.

    Similarly, it's pretty shitty to act like action on smaller issues means we're just ignoring bigger issues. Your concern for Idaho's treatment of disabled kids isn't instead of wanting Israel's genocide to stop or the Ukraine war to end.

  • Safety Net

    Jump

  • They say that because when they get more money they can invest it, grow it for later. They ridicule spending it because if you're able, investment IS the smarter decision, but that assumes all your needs are already met. The Capital class can't even imagine their needs not being met, only wants that they can afford to wait for.

  • NSFW Removed

    Saving issues

    Jump

  • You're going to need more context, like what are you trying to save and how. Nobody's going to dig through your logs just to try to figure out what you're talking about.

  • So peaceful words aren't working? Well alright, sounds like it's time for plan B.

  • If You Needed to Pass an Exam to Vote

    Jump

  • Can you also verify that the vote it presents to be counted? Can you verify the counting? For every way to verify computerized voting, there are a dozen ways to compromise it.

  • If You Needed to Pass an Exam to Vote

    Jump

  • Yeah it sounds fun unless you have any awareness of how this actually worked out when it was used in the past. Fully not okay.

  • Last Epoch developer Eleventh Hour Games gets acquired by KRAFTON

    Jump

  • That doesn't really read to me like a good sign. If Krafton is willing to do what they did to Subnautica's team, then basically no contract they sign is worth the paper it's written on. Seeing them effectively murder their own project and dismantle a proven successful developer like this doesn't inspire confidence that they'll be more graceful in handling others.

  • text generator approves drugs

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure that undermining confidence in drug approvals is a feature, not a bug. The same people who were screeching about mRNA vaccines being secret poison that was rushed through approval are the ones doing this now, so when (not if) it does actually lead to dangerous drugs being approved and a collapse in confidence in the FDA, they'll be the ones saying "We told you so" and getting their anti-medical way.

    It's the exact same playbook Republicans use in the rest of the government: Say Government doesn't work, cry about government spending, and insist government regulation is crushing personal freedoms, then they actually do all of those things and when the next administration comes around they pass on the blame and say "I Told You So."
