Sweet Baby Inc. and the Steam Curator Group Conspiracy - The company that is responsible for the diarrheic video game writing.

Steam to centralize our games, etc, etc.
Ehhhh the early history of Steam kind of saved PC gaming, and had it been any other company things would have been so much worse. We got lucky with GabeN running the show as a private company. If it was a larger corp then they'd be far more in lock-step with this ESG shit. Valve doesn't even push woke shit in its games that I can recall.
 
in the US.
Because you sure as hell managed to piss off that one cop in New Zealand by keeping the Christchurch's footage.
I think that our lack of political ambition and general aimlessness makes us unimportant to them.
I thought this website was founded by the Sneed Party.

For real tho: Fuck social media. I think that most of this could've been solved already back in the days if people of all ages didn't had that brain worm that is social media.
 
I've had several people contact me with alternatives, and admittingly they all have have issues or lacking features that make people want to switch. This list is from @Koi Fish

  • Revolt.chat
  • Matrix Element
  • Slack
  • Rocket.Chat, Mattermost, Zulip and other Slack-inspired programs
  • Telegram
  • Rumble
  • Raidcall
  • Overtone

One more I haven't seen mentioned so far I'd like to add is Tox (uTox / qTox that I know)
I haven't given that one a proper run since I haven't seen as many using it,
but it's got voice call, video call, file transfer, Groups, and seems pretty darn secure.
You can add Mumble to that list. It's like old school Teamspeak but FOSS and self-hosted. Yes, it doesn't have a chat history, or robust media embeds, but it's lightweight and it does what it's meant to do, which is to get your buddies together for a vidya sesh.

Wasn't Tox down? Regardless, that's more of a Telegram alternative rather than Discord, Voice chat also is unstable.
Possibly, I've had it installed for ages and not done much with it. It still logs in? I think?

I wonder if a peer2peer network would do well for a good chat software? Random thought.
Koi Fish said:
Really, the only one that's relatively close to be an alternative and that it's also FOSS is Nertivia. This isn't an endorsement, because the retard wants to spy on each user more than discord already does.
niiiice and slow on free users to go paid
That seems like a red flag to me if I ever saw one. Was it Reshade that thought they could show some troll their power by putting some black screen script in his updater? (Either that or G-Shade) Which, honestly with such a pretentious name, not too surprising. Edgy kiddy coder vibes.

Discord has had a very rocky start too back in 2015, the thing that made people jump over it were the free lobbies (that people keep erroneously referring to as "servers" due to TeamSpeak) and the pseudo social media features. As well as Screensharing, Video Calls, Voice Calls, a semi-decent text chat with markdown and so on. I still prefer Chatango's ui for Text Chat.
Yeah, I think at some point Final Fantasy also made a big push with Discord, which supposedly helped a ton. Until they suddenly backed out. Before that I think it was more like a murmuring around furry communities.

My biggest issue is trying to recommend a new chat to friends. Can we have a Sweet Discordbaby Inc so I don't sound Have a raging conspiracy theorist?

You can add Mumble to that list.
Lol I thought I did. Mumble isn't bad, it's a less shit version of TS3 without the Overwolf button and always had less users.
Speak of TS: the TeamSpeak5 client is a joke.

What's odd is that the concept of discord isn't a new or novel concept either, I'm sure I saw another program beside Raidcall that let you have some sort of free servers back in the day.

peer2peer network would do well for a good chat software?
Skype used to be P2P, at least that was what people told me. It wasn't bad and could work better than back in the days. The issue is that there's surely some security issue about it. I wonder if we should make this whole Voip/Voice chat software discussion into it's own thread, since there's lots to talk about beside the usual stereotype about people not caring about privacy despite privacy not existing since 2012

Final Fantasy also made a big push with Discord
Yeah, it was even mentioned it in one of the patch notes when they increased the max number of uses per lobby from around 500 to around 1000 (now it should be 2500), and they mentioned they were the reason they increased the max user count. it was reddit that made that program popular, damn.

If I have one talent at all it's general aimlessness. :story:

On a positive note as far as movements go, if someone does manage to get an official Gamergate 2™ headquarters I'm sure they will eventually do stupid and funny shit just like everyone from the first Gamergate. It's a win/win.

It seems like SBI is just a diversity hire resume builder stop gap employer to help minorities, gays, and trannies build a shitty portfolio/work experience to artificially propel their careers to more easily infiltrate inside the gaming industry instead of being strictly on the outside as worthless consultants.

They don't, they have special ethnic sales for Ukraine, and black Gamers, Queers, etc.
Which, ehh. it is what it is. I'm on the same page. I have plenty to praise Steam for. As well as some criticisms. And the pc platform is still fairly diverse. I only have the highest of praises for GOG.com, DRM-Free gaming as a whole should be praised more.

I usually would always pick a GoG release over a steam release if it has multi-platform multiplayer support., but for Rimworld... I decided for a refund. Because... well.. Steam has great and easy mods! I got into a discussion, where I confused their refund policy with a "Try for X hours, or own it for less than 48 hours." At the time it wasn't, I was wrong. But they decided to give me the refund any way. The very next day they made a policy update announcement, purely in favour of the consumers! They really didn't have to. ♥
 
Game Gate 2 or no Gamer Gate, I just wish everyone also focused on the non-woke stuff like the sleazy monetization, season/battle passes, and live service shit. It's getting much worse by the day, yet you have cucks like the Atlus fanbase, Call of Duty cucks, and Fighting Game Community supporting disc-locked content and live service monetization that cost more than the fucking games themselves altogether. Why are we paying for stuff that was in older games from day-one, yet we're paying for those things in newer games (and to make it worse: they're not upgraded or made even worse than their previous incarnation)?!

If the time comes for a vTuber to shoot himself (or herself) in the foot defending SBI, I'll lay even money it will be one of the NijisanjiEN ones.
Either NijnisanjiEN or VShojo. Don't forget Melody became a holy-than sjw bitch that is buddies with scumbags like Froot (I heard Ironmouse isn't innocent, but I might be wrong).

If you want games investor news just watch Bellular.
Bellular also worked on a game he gave a rat's ass about. The guy used to kiss Blizzard's ass, but he got fed up with Wow's current state. He criticizes Blizzard, but he hopes one day Wow will be less shitty. He doesn't suck Blizzard dick as much as Simpmongold.

You're probably thinking of Lil Majin.
Yea, I mixed them up. Thanks for that. Yea, virtue signalers will never recognize them unless they're woke far leftists like Sonic Fox or James Chen (reminder Sonic Fox tried to cancel Memeology when he got exposed for assaulting people).

It's worth reminding everybody that Steam has the official sales and 3rd party sales. Official sales are the ones done by Valve themselves, like seasonal sales. Those are the ones that have trading cards, stickers and all the jazz. 3rd party sales are done by other companies, publishers etc and Steam only hosts them.

Valve only ever had one LGBTQ+ sale in 2019, and there doesn't seem to be anything before or after it. About every other queer black whatever sale was done by some other company, and I don't recall those even being a banner takeover, they were just little blips in the Special Offers section mixed in with other game sales.

The thing with SBI's involvement with Valve is that we don't know what they did for them and if they're still doing work for them. Perhaps that LGBTQ+ sale from 2019 was their doing, Valve saw that it wasn't the best idea, and then never attempted anything like that again, cut ties with SBI, but they kept it on their site as a trophy.

But that's just speculation on my side, it's harder to find info in this case because Valve is a private company, and it's because of the fatso's insistence on keeping it that way Valve is the benevolent dictator of the industry. Why is it that Steam has a "monopoly" and every other platform is failing? Because every other platform is ran by corporations that get their money from investors so they can be shit as long as the investors are happy, Steam is ran by people who need to offer a good product to stay afloat because they don't have the comfort of the infinite money glitch, and that's exactly why Gabe should never ever let his company go public.

what games has valve even made in the recent past that SBI could possibly have worked on? aperture desk job?
 
This entire sweet baby shitshow has showed me something, what was said several times in the thread, specifically @Harbinger of Kali Yuga that steam has been an outlier in the transformation of the open and uncontrolled internet into a niggercattle plantation over the last decade. A holdover of the pre censored internet and its libertarian culture associated with it. Considering how utterly scummy and DRM addled most of its competitors have proven (with notable exceptions). Something im fearing more and more now, the death of gabe. Valve is able to do this because they are fully private, no shareholders to obey and no need to whore themselves out for ESG rating for investors. That and even if it stays private and all the old gaurd retire/die whoever replaces them may have the same leftist mind virus that would kowtow to the likes of SBI and its ilk.

Valve has the same status that a lot of the big tech sites had during the first half of the 2010s, consolidated and under the power of a few small hands but otherwise and invisible problem due to their hands off attitude of running the site, obviously this all changed during the second half of the last decade. Ignoring political horse shit focus instead on the quality of what would be produced by the indie crowd. Imagine if games that crossed whatever arbitrary new-leftist barriers (aka woke) they would find themselves banned from the steam storefront, the largest storefront in pc gaming. The same way edgy humor on youtube was suppressed and eventually rooted out, granted gaming would probably be less impacted due to there being a gazillion places to sell games but that specter would still be there.

And we all get to look forward to that possibility when gabe dies

Half-Life: Alyx, where they ditched Merle Dandridge, an Afro-Asian actress playing an Afro-Asian character, for Ozioma Akagha, a nigress that suspiciously mainly starred in your typical modern slops, starting with Mirror's Edge: Catalyst in 2016, the shitty reboot of a cult classic, then Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, where they cranked up the modern day political bullshit to 11, and the latest two games being the Saints Row reboot and Goodbye Volcano High. But besides the VA change, Alyx was very clean in that regard.

Actually, Saints Row reboot and GVH are the two games that SBI proudly say they were involved in, so maybe that's what they did for Valve, they've inserted that nigress for no good reason, and that's the only thing Valve let them do because it was just the VA, it was a prequel, Merle got older so whatever, you get your win, but no forced troons or niggers. And after that they realized it was a mistake and never talked to them again. But maybe I'm giving Valve too much credit here.

Yeah, I really hope he'll get to live out his 80's or even 90's, and that he foresaw this future and he made sure that the company he worked on so hard won't end up getting it's good name completely tarnished because some fresh blood decided to make it go public for them profits.

Makes sense, they fucking hate anyone of East Asian heritage, evidently even if they're just half-asian. I hate the "they're the real racists!" shit, but in this case it's true and the North American Pavement Ape's seething jealousy of asians will never not be funny to me.

Checks out. And remember goyim, some races are permitted by the Kike State to use Terrorist Groups as ""super"" heroes. Where is KKK man to match the Negroid Panther? I rest my case.
