Seems like a waste of effort, you would need to make the game over from scratch to have anything worthwhile, so nothing to salvage.

Indeed, it is a hard battle to try and ensure the young ones do not see the AI as the oracle, the end game will be what they want, there will be only the corporate truth and nothing else.

So many colleagues will ref without even a single doubt on what a AI says as the one truth, man it hard to see all follow the narrative, no doubts, no contradictions even when the logic breaks.

"Half-Life: Caged", "Half-Life: Restored", "Half-Life: Before", "Half-Life - The Freeman Chronicles"

Mods, and a fan video (there was a time were steam were seeming to look into hosting movies videos, you can find some of that on the store as a legacy stuff i guess).

"Half-Life 2: Downfall", and "Half-Life 2: Update" Mods

There is only the orginal half life series

Which started with the Half life, then come the stand alone expansions Blue Shift and Opposing Force and then Half life 2 with it's stand alone expansions Episode one and two.

You got a remake of Half life called Black Mesa not made by valve.

You can play Half life 2 without knowing the first one, although some refs will go missed, but nothing of grand importance.

Not really anything new, tbh, We did have the same thing with the news and printed books for a while, it is just that for a moment of time the internet were free and now they will choke it like all else.

The revenant of Captain Cook rises once more to finish the task, brave of the abo to shout and prove himself to be among the living, haha

“Censoring on metacritic has gotten completely out of hand, not a smart move if you want to stay relevant aka in business coz this whole nwo/great reset/woke psyop has failed, narrative’s crumbling and everybody not bailing out in time will go down with it.”

This is the example given in the article on why we need them to tell us and not strangers on the internet ( the above quote is a metacritic review),

Which they claim gives no decent data on the game, but then if you need to enforce draconian measure to hide poison then you know the quality of the wrapping is CCP, haha

This brand of “criticism” extends to YouTube where content creators aren’t bound to any kind of journalistic integrity.

I did not know whores and scum had a standard of integrity, haha

Anyhow the only thing I might agree on is that if the production standards is high enough (or they are starved enough, haha) then people will swallow poison such as BG3 among other things.

they might have gotten close to it in the late 20th century, but with Hate Speech laws and other forms of political censorship in the rest of the world... the concept just doesn't exist. The rest of the planet already doesn't accept free speech.

Indeed europe has never known free speech the concept itself is something they believe to comprehend and that they actually have (atleast in some countries, haha), It will require quite a shift in the culture to ensure they learn.

Yea playing online is not quite the same, still wonder how that culture died out so much, I know why corps killed it but not quite why people did not continue it.

The one thing that I find interesting with this is the withholding of funds and then not returning of them, got to love the banking and payments industry its all skullduggery, haha and that this seems to have also include the JCB indicating that the japs are going to be dragged into the plan with the rest of us, haha

'Notice regarding the shutdown of the Manga Library Z website' https://closing.mangaz.com The J Comic, now Manga Library Z, which I set up 14 years ago, has taken the decision to shut down its website on 26 November. Although I have already retired from management, the text of this announcement is written on my behalf. First, an explanation of the service itself: Manga Library Z is an advertising revenue-generating website that distributes e-books, mainly out-of-print manga, for free and returns advertising revenue to the authors. The server and other costs were mainly paid for by premium membership fees. The direct cause of the site shutdown this time was that the payment agency notified us that it was terminating the entire payment service, including payment methods other than credit card payments. All credit card companies, including JCB, suddenly became unusable, as well as all other payment methods (except Bitcash). On top of that, even the payments for months that had already passed were withheld, and the premium membership fee for that period (and future ones) was no longer coming in at all, so we were stuck in a situation where we couldn't even pay for the server. The Manga Library Z management staff discussed the situation and came to the conclusion that it was impossible to operate the site solely on Bitcash revenues, that even if we found an alternative payment agent, the same phenomenon might occur again, and that we did not want to survive by deleting only some of the works. The decision to shut down the site was based on the following reasons. We deeply apologise that the period between notification and withholding of payment was so short that we had to "give in to the payment service providers". However, this time we were able to obtain accurate information (as only the parties concerned can) on the following: - On what basis they declare the suspension of payment services - How much penalty will come and how long it will last - What specific measures were taken to avoid it, so that we can link this to more legitimate investigations and hearings. I think I can do it. In the past, 'Love Hina' was banned by Apple's e-book app and later restored, and we still often cite that experience as a 'concrete experience example' for 'protecting freedom of expression', and we use it effectively. In recent years, unprecedented 'strong conditions' and 'strong penalties' have been issued by payment services, and if these are left unchecked, the situation is certain to become a problem not only for e-books but for the Japanese content industry as a whole. As the party that was actually forced to close down the site, we are determined to come up with more accurate countermeasures. We would be grateful for your support.

It is with great regret that we have to inform you that, as stated in an announcement dated 5 November, the 'Manga Library Z' has taken the decision to discontinue its e-book internet distribution service. Although "Manga Library Z" has made a group of rare works, mainly manga that have already gone out of print and have not yet even been digitised, available again for free, and has been returning advertising revenue to their authors for more than a decade, in recent years it has increasingly struggled to cope in terms of payment services (such as with credit card companies). The character Hanpen-kun by Ken Akamatsu was created at the time of the J Comic's establishment 2010 release. Fourteen years ago, when manga artist Ken Akamatsu launched the predecessor service J Comi, e-books were still not very common and there were only a few services where manga could be read on the internet. In this context, J Comi was a pioneering e-book service that allowed anyone to read manga for free. In the 14 years since then, even though the name of the service has changed, the staff of the Manga Library Z are all grateful to all the authors and users for their long-time support. At the same time, we also feel responsible for continuing to operate the site with the thoughts of so many people on our shoulders. We can only regret that we have reached a situation where we have had to shut down the website. Special campaigns are also held every year where you can have a drink with the teacher of your dreams. As you will see in the announcement dated 29 October, last month we received a notice from the settlement agent that we had to terminate all settlement service contracts at the end of October. We discussed this with the settlement agent as soon as possible, but the decision was made by the credit card company and we were already in a situation where we could not overturn the decision. We made a series of urgent financial calculations and discussions, and discussed the future operation of the site until the very last minute every day, but we decided to suspend the site, as we judged that continuing to operate the site in a way that would make it impossible to return profits to authors would ultimately betray the trust of authors and users. We apologise for this decision. Over 100 teachers contributed to the fifth anniversary of Manga Library Z. The site itself is currently scheduled to be shut down at 12pm on 26 November, but J Comic Terrace Ltd, which operates Manga Library Z, is also involved in the 'wholesale business' of providing works to other companies' stores, and we would like to give back to all participating authors by continuing to focus on the wholesale business in the future. However, the website will be closed completely. However, the site will not be closed completely. We will continue to discuss this with the relevant parties and explore ways to re-launch the site. Although it is still only a narrow path, we will also consider moving to a non-profit organisation and crowdfunding. We hope that one day we will be able to bring manga to you again. We have also been working on the attempt to make our manga available on Youtube and to support apps earlier than anywhere else. We would like to thank all the artists, users and everyone who has supported and cooperated with us over the past 14 years. J Comic Terrace Ltd. Manga Library Z Management Staff

So they can all play these little corporate leftist games as much as they like, they can protect the Sweet Babies and Black Girl Gamers and Hit detections et al as much as they want, but they’re going to keep losing. People will either become even stingier with their money or they’ll just check out of video games all together and take up something else instead.

Their end goal is to replace their audience, there shall only be what they want, everything else overwritten or destroyed. The idea is to inflate your closed wallet away, all dosh will be granted by the gov anyway, haha

So was she just being lazy these last years while shit went to hell or what? Clearly they think the fucking VP has considerable power.

Well, she could have taken biden out and then became the supreme leader, but that takes effort.

Not sure of the beauty of it, the heavy AI use does make everything look a bit like fever dream.

God damnit, did they make Vance sound awesome. Just like that, he made himself Caesar. And touching that they were longing for Trump. All the 'bad stuff' they complain about happened after Orange Hitler got sick and died.

Since all the other "leaders" became "immortal" this was missed opportunity to make trump sit on the throne with life support, or There is now greater evil then trump? haha

One thing I will unironically give them credit for is that it doesn't strawman the reasons why people don't like Democrats... vaccine mandates and the censorship of websites. Even so, it's ironic to then hear that the God-Emperor (fils adoptive) is the one who then used AI to censor social media. You know... that's what they're doing, right?

Ehh, they give some ground to then state that you are retarded since Trump want to use the army against dissidents, which is what they have argued themself a long time for.

Crowbcat is a genius. He never speaks, appears on camera, talks on social media or otherwise gives the people he's criticizing anything to latch on to.

I agree that he a genius in this regard although even he seems to be losing it a bit in the modern world as seen by the Dead Rising remake ending, where the custom clip and text basically pointing out his opinion, I guess he got tired of the npc not understanding, haha
