Good, we should be adapting new technologies to our life and not be stuck in a moral dillema about "computers taking our jobs", fuck those who oppose progress.

The Quake type of graphics but in HQ makes it look a WHOLE lot like Dusk the game.

You mean official apps, because there are multiple unofficial desktop apps (I used Windows and Linux variants even), I've been using them since forever, I truly can't recall when was the last time I used the web.

I sincerely don't know how people prefer Spotify over Youtube Music, really, I have used both and Spotify is worse in every aspect specially in UX, absolute dogshit usability. I have tried it mutiple times over the years hoping that maybe just maybe they realize, I still remember when I went from Winamp to Grooveshark and when they killed it my first option was Spotify and was amazed at how much effort the design guys put in making the app pure crap. After a few months using it Google decided to gift me 3 months of Google Play Music and never went back, it's day and night.

Aberration? That seems like an extreme overreaction.

Man, I played the fuck out of this game in my teens, it's in my top 5 best games ever made.

JSX is an absolute cancer, I don't trust any developer that thinks JSX is objectively better than SFC.

Holy... the nostalgia, I played the hell out of this game in computer class back in school 25 years ago, time flies.

Why prevent? You can solve that by marking them with a red size 72 font text saying "AI generated".

As the great and only Shrek said "better out than in", if someone is offended by you cursing the fuck out of your lungs, just curse more and scare them out of your sight.

I really don't care if it's AI, I love music and it's 100% subjective to what I like, I'm not less moral if I prefer some ones and zeroes than a real band if it pleases my ears. I created a lot of songs in Suno which I really really like and have been in my playlist for months alongside the bands I have listened for more than 30 years.

Come on man, at least put some elbow grease on it, normal private servers don't use "wow assets", YOU own the client, Turtle WoW instead built extra worlds with Blizzard's assets and charged for it with a DIFFERENT client, that's IP stealing, and that's illegal like it or not. Totally different things.

I can't believe people defending this, I already said and I will say it again, I'm ALL for private servers, but these fricking guys were using art and stuff Blizzard created and profiting from it, they fucked up and deserve to be down, get over it, stop defending the indefensible.

I'm all for private servers, I even started playing WoW on one before playing retail, but Turtle crossed the wrong line and fucked up bad, they deserved what happened. You don't fuck with an IP big as Warcraft like it or not.
