They won't unfortunately. The government is too soft on religious extremists, in fact they're in the government itself all the way to the top.

You're not wrong. I read a couple days ago that this group receives funding from evangelical organizations to do stunts like this. I don't know if the intention is to false flag feminists as responsible, but it sure seems like it.

Rape of who? Pixels?

My god, those poor pixels are being sexually abused!

Mostly mobile ported gacha and Korean MMOs. It's good that it runs on Linux for you, but most people don't play these games. Most people are interested exactly in the ones you've listed as not supported.

For me the killer feature is tab stacking. It's crazy that no browser other than Presto-era Opera has this feature, that with workspaces is _so_ useful for tab organization.

I agree he's the person who managed to give rise to Brazilian fascism, yes. Unless you consider nationalism as the desire to regress back into a brutal dictatorship where dissenting voices get "disappeared", the media is heavily censored and controlled by the state and the government kowtows to American supremacy and interests.

Who cares. Doesn't matter who did it, it matters that it happened and you're about to commit the same mistakes again. It matters that you let this slide just because he's your guy.

I wonder if you'll feel the same when they come for you once they run out of easy scapegoats.

No one is gaming on PC because of "first party" games, and Valve's offerings are literally the whole of Steam with more excellent games you could ever possibly play in a lifetime. Then there's GOG and the other stores. Hell, there are many great games outside any of the major stores. This flimsy excuse only has any sway if all you want to play is the next Mario or Zelda slop, but even then there are emulators.

>I use a tracker to try and fight this, showing how many games I've started and also achievement progress in them in aggregate.

I've tried something similar before and it worked, for a while, but I started feeling the free time I spent gaming at best felt like a chore and at worst like a job. Nowadays I just play what I feel like and don't really bother much with completing games or not, because realistically I never will finish my backlog.

After race it's religion, when it's not religion it's politics, when it's not politics it's social class... It's stuff like this that makes me wonder if we will ever achieve anything like the Star Trek future where we just get past racism and bigotry. I have a feeling bigotry will be our great filter as a species.

It's what happens when you don't play ball with the biggest bully there is this side of the pond. Not surprising at all though, the US has been continuously pushing their agenda around these parts for many decades now, even aiding the former military dictatorship, now aiding our former putschist president and his criminal family. Then they wonder why every day we're inching closer to China and their allies instead of them.

You really can't take the Nazi out of Grok, can you? I almost want to see the default prompt just out of morbid curiosity, must be horribly obscene.

Giving Asmongold of all people a shout-out feels so wrong... Guy is a creep to say the least, but I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I refuse to believe that's a real thing. Seems like something you'd see in a Paul Verhoeven movie.
