  • This is only true if you’re selling Steam product keys,

    While Steam does claim that, there were two previous lawsuits in the USA saying otherwise, and I couldn’t find any other info online, nor how they ended up… and they also have that thing that if you are going to make a sales promotion on another platform you have to warn Steam so they can do it first… if in fact you can’t sell cheaper on a platform that charges you less, that’s top assholeness.



  • Amelia wasn’t AI-generated, she was literally goverment-generated for a stupid game saying you should mind your own business instead of watching and sharing content online or you can be arrested (people are just using AI to create more art with the character, but the character was created by the government). In the game the content was anti-immigration stuff and Amelia the girl trying to get the main character to get involved, so some dumbass just gave them a waifu lol
    The game however basically tells you have to choose between being a racist or accepting 1984-surveillance (which UK is already doing anyway). Really great government propaganda.

    Hey @Deceptichum just the other day I found some notes from a time I cared about it (my major is history, but I left college almost 20 years ago) referencing a bunch of shit I don’t even remember reading or writing, and I was curious because it was something about Trotsky… some references to Lenin’s April Thesis being influenced by Trotsky’s Permanent Revolution, how Lenin’s Treaty of Brest-Litovski was highly criticized by his own party, that led him to write Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder, and how through all of that Trotsky supported Lenin’s position while Stalin was using the Pravda to support the provisional government and the war. One of the notes is written “Kingston-Mann, Esther: Lenin and the Problem of Marxist Peasant Revolution, 1893-1917 pg139” (and I have no idea what’s there :P), and obviously Lenin’s own testament saying Stalin was an idiot and should be removed from his position… it seems like the whole thing was to poke fun at Leninists idolizing Stalin and demonizing Trotsky… perhaps you can make something out of it :P

    ps: I’m not sure I’m tagging user correctly here.
