    whatever you do, do not, BY ANY MEANS, think about visiting this site that, among other things, links to full, pirated, de-DRM’d games that are better experienced in their entirety without an intermediary platform like Steam, Epic Games, etc… DO NOT GIVE THE THOUGHT EVEN A MICROSECOND! This would totally be morally equivalent to “the bad stuff” that good wholesome companies that do mere totally excusable “oopsies”.

    Gamers will unite to thwart cheaters and staunchly have their demands for balance changes met but will turn the other cheek on racism, sexism, ableism, etc… with the reasoning being “cuz muh free speech”, both in-game and on social media platforms.


  • Java but in an alternate universe (with Microsoft’s trademarked cursetm that follows everywhere). Auto-properties/properties to reduce boilerplate, extension methods, simplified exceptions (I don’t care about being explicit about checked/unchecked exceptions, I just want to throw em and catch em whenever I feel like it! Then again, other languages don’t want you to care about any of that either), Linq and access to the wonderful world of the GAME DEV ecosystem (Unity, Godot). Anything other than that is just splitting hairs at this point.

    Random general question, how do you feel about file hosting? When posting, I tend to avoid uploading media larger than like, 5MB, just cause I know that the cost of storing said media can get exorbitant very quickly and I wouldn’t want to be part of the burden… I’m not able to donate just yet. Knowing this, I am currently on the fence on whether I should create a “gaming clips” community.

    That said, it’s nice to be able to embed media from other sources (despite it potentially not working natively for mobile platforms if I’m not mistaken?), which got me thinking: it’d be nice to have some sort of preference list of image/video hosting hosts that users can add to or remove from, and uploading directly from the comment/create post view would use the first working file hosting domain from the list… Just spitballing here.









  • You can register your account without having to supply a phone number. You can use the service without querying your phone number or other forms of PII. Privacy minded individuals sometimes have to use proprietary services (e.g. at work, at school) and do so with caution and they make sure to exercise common-sense too when going in, you know? Once again, you can literally just self-host if you’re not too trusting of the online version. You have a choice.

    Now tell me: have you tried DeepSeek before the DDoS attacks (or self-hosted it)? What’s the catch with using DeepSeek? What’s stopping you from self-hosting, aside from technical requirements? What makes DeepSeek not “good”, “fast” and “free”?
