Yeah, I think they moved to requiring accounts even for gift articles at some point, which is annoying. At least they still bypass the need for a subscription?
This might be less funny than it first appears, since companies often had a policy where developers were required to be listed under pseudonyms or worse, go completely uncredited.
No idea if that's the case here, but it's plausible "Booby Master" was basically a form of protest, or at least making a joke out of a bad situation.
This is a complete nothingburger article that's just repeating Tyler McVicker's speculation. I like McVicker, but to act like his guess is insight from a "Valve insider" is dogshit-tier journalism.
The defendant, Sam Tunick, was stopped for interrogation at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport on 24 January last year, after vacationing in the Dominican Republic. Unbeknown to him, federal authorities had put him on a terrorism watchlist because of his alleged association with the movement against Cop City.
The game is published directly by FromSoftware in Japan, but overseas distribution is handled by Bandai Namco. According to the investment fund, this arrangement resulted in a “material profit leakage” for the company.
So, it sounds like they're unhappy that Kadokawa let Bandai Namco take a cut.
Beyond the fact that I generally like Valve hardware and could use another spare controller, I mainly want it to play Guild Wars 2 on my TV. As an MMO, it obviously has a lot of inputs that make using a traditional controller for it difficult. I already created a custom layout for the Steam Deck which works pretty well for me, but I'd really rather use my far more powerful desktop PC and TV when I'm at home, which the Steam Controller should allow me to do.
Yeah, the image is from the same reality as the normal manga/anime's world.
The character in the middle is a human but acts like and wants to be treated like a cat since she's given up on the harsh realities of adulthood (relatable, tbh) so she wears cat ears and a collar. The "witch" in the top right considers herself a bard (even if she's terrible at it), so she's got a medieval bard-ish hat with an outfit to match (which you can't see in the image).
It's good and fairly self-aware, but mainly centers around heterosexual relationships with some hints of Yuri here and there. So, not really a Yuri manga, for whatever that's worth.
So, considering that the root of the FDA's claim is that chest binders alleviate gender dysphoria, can we expect them to send similar warnings to manufacturers of skirts and baggy cargo shorts?
I had the same thought. I'm assuming it has something to do with them wanting the wireless puck for the Steam Controller to be able to charge the controller as well.
Otherwise, maybe there's some hardware reason why making the battery removable in the Steam Controller would be difficult.
Of course, nothing is stopping you from forking the software to replace the art assets. Instead of doing that, I would rather you support the project and purchase a license for the commercial variant of Anubis named BotStopper. Doing this will make sure that the project is sustainable and that I don't burn myself out to a crisp in the process of keeping small internet websites open to the public.
At some level, I use the presence of the Anubis mascot as a "shopping cart test". If you either pay me for the unbranded version or leave the character intact, I'm going to take any bug reports more seriously. It's a positive sign that you are willing to invest in the project's success and help make sure that people developing vital infrastructure are not neglected.
Yeah man, I love Windmill Slice Can Goose too! That album has such an original sound to it — honestly almost brought me to my knees the first time I heard it.
I feel like people constantly shit on Duolingo and other things like it, especially compared to other forms of language study like full classes, immersing yourself in that language via cultural exports (movies, TV shows, books, etc.), or interacting with people that speak that language.
But I think that's kinda missing the point — Duo and other programs structured like it offer a way to learn a decent chunk of a language without a lot of effort. If you put in a bit of time every day or so and take things at least a little seriously, my understanding is that you can learn a lot. Maybe you won't be truly fluent, and certainly you won't learn as much as you would with intensive self-structured learning or classes at a university, but it takes way less effort and is far more approachable.
That being said, definitely look somewhere else now that Duolingo is using AI.

I'm pretty sure everything after the ? is the "gift article" part that's required by the "New York Times gift articles" sublemmy.

From The Guardian article on the same incident:
The next paragraph after that one:

I haven't played it myself, but KLETKA is similar to Lethal Company or R.E.P.O.
Not sure what genre they're considered to be, but I've sometimes heard them referred to as "friendslop", although the term seems overbroad.

It's from Kimi no Koto ga Dai Dai Dai Dai Daisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo (The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You).
It's good and fairly self-aware, but mainly centers around heterosexual relationships with some hints of Yuri here and there. So, not really a Yuri manga, for whatever that's worth.
This reads like 100% AI slop, complete with the traditional AI overuse of emojis in the README.

Not that this really matters since this is a shitpost, but this is misinformation. Completely harmless misinformation, but still incorrect.
The coconut image does exist but it's not a JPG (it's a VTF), the game doesn't crash if you remove it, and the dev comment isn't real.
The Sims comes to mind here, since it's had same-sex relationships for quite a while (and same-sex marriage for at least 3 and 4, I think).
It's longer than that — maybe check the archive.is version?
I actually really like the developer's rationale for why they use an anime character as the mascot.
The whole blog post is worth reading, but the TL;DR is this:
Yeah man, I love Windmill Slice Can Goose too! That album has such an original sound to it — honestly almost brought me to my knees the first time I heard it.
