Nooooo don’t you understand??? That would take effort! Our little engineerinos must spend all their time on profit-generating features!

Actually the Xbox app just does this by default with everything. A developer has the option to make this not happen by simply not distributing the game in other languages, or by preparing a single version of the game that contains all language files.

Both of these options are decisions they would have had to make 15 years ago, based on a psychic prediction that a single future platform would invent an arbitrary requirement to only allow you to distribute your games in the worst possible way.

Worth noting, if they somehow had seen this coming and chosen to do this, it would’ve meant that fallout 3 would’ve been a (if I did my math right) 16 gig game in 2008 and thus on Xbox 360 would necessarily have been distributed across no less than 3 discs, because game discs which were allocated a mere 7.3 gigs at the time and would have required a hard drive. If you had one of the Core or Arcade models with no hard drive, hopefully you remembered to buy a hard drive while you were at the store.

Through the forces of innovation, Microsoft found a way to force Todd’s inflation fetish upon all of our hard drives.

Don’t forget: Troyskyists are liberals and as such are not included in our anti-sectarianism rules!

Oh ok, what do these look like?

WHO WOULD WIN? (hint: not the cop car the tesla piled into the side of at 90 mph)

100 million freaks trying to generate photos of sad military babies on their birthdays vs all of us poisoning the well by uploading 1000 photoshopped pics of 7 fingered hands to google cloud.

Worth noting, the Nova actually outperformed sales targets in Mexico for so long that they ended up building a factory in Mexico City just to make them. They switched production over to the Citation when GM sized down its lineup, and it was so beloved as a car that in 1985 GM replaced the Citation II with new Novas based on the AE82 Corolla platform, built at the NUMMI joint factory in Fremont, CA. These new Novas proved similarly so popular that GM started just straight up importing and rebadging Toyota Sprinters as the Geo Prizm.

Another fun fact: the name association most people in Mexico would’ve had at the time would have been to PEMEX gasoline which was also often branded as “NOVA” gas.

any warhammer content born after 1993 can’t cook… all they know is grimdark, praise they emprah, fascism, release the same game every year, eat processed corn & lie.

But seriously, they’re mostly just eternally rereleasing Vermintide as Space Marine fascist power fantasy games for DOGE interns and their fellow groypers at this point. Feel free to continue ignoring them.

About a 6/10 effort level on the Photoshop job, Time is going downhill. At least do a photo shoot with a body double and edit the desk and the face.

Equating communism with the common ownership of women. First as tragedy, then as kink.

Hey, just a heads up, “yakub” jokes are not permitted on the site.

Of course they’re an asshole. And they’re banned. But part of acting in good faith is letting people speak their piece.

They were mad about a thread where they got dunked on because their wife used to be a cop pr person basically, and now does HR. Lmao.

I’m curious what input this person has, and there’s no better way to make it clear that we operate in good faith than to let people speak their piece.

As far as taking that advice goes, obviously we’re going to use good judgment.

As an admin of the site, I’d love to hear your specific and named criticisms of the site. I would greatly appreciate examples of flaws within the Hexbear site culture and some recommendations on how you feel we can recover the site to a revolutionary platform with sound ideological foundations.

It’s a real Kelly cartoon, but they’re a parody of chud political cartoons

I’m sure this was unintentional but this comment has this energy:

“Last night, I was watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9—great show, by the way, tremendous show, everybody loves it. And there’s this little guy, the Ferengi, very smart, very funny, fantastic character. He’s got these ‘Rules of Acquisition’—and let me tell you, these rules? Some of them, they’re brilliant. Rule number 35: ‘Peace is good for business.’ Now, let me tell you, he’s absolutely right. Absolutely right. I told them, I said, ‘Peace is good for business, folks. It’s true, it works. Big deal.’ You know it, I know it—peace is good for business!”

Roll 1d4 to see what happens!

Nat 1: Your PC gets taken out by a cryptoworm. You lose all of your data, and all of your accounts and passwords are compromised. BAD END

2: You switch to an LTSC license and pay Microsoft $183 for 3 years of Extended Support. Your applications slowly stop getting updated, and by November 2028 your PC still loses support. You now find it somewhat frustrating to use your PC, especially online. You’re now using an unusual browser fork you’d never heard of before, the UI is awful and half of your extensions don’t work. Since your Extended Support is now gone, you must now move to option 3.

3: You’re very careful with your computer. You use a PiHole on your network, you sandbox applications religiously. You only use old offline applications or niche long term support forks of open-source software that continue to support your OS. You regularly find, vet, and install unofficial community patches to your computer. You eventually realize you’re spending almost as much time trying to keep your PC secure as you spend actually using it, but continue out of frustration with Microsoft. Nevertheless, these patches stop being released around 2030. Many of your applications have also stopped being updated. Congratulations, you extended the life of your Windows install by 5 years! You’re now doing the equivalent of running Windows 7 in 2025 or windows XP in 2020. Was it worth it? Honestly, it wasn’t worth it for me. I did this with XP and tried with 7 but just gave up and moved onto option 4.

Nat 4: You end up installing Linux. You’re shocked by how straightforward and functional it is. Maybe once a month at most, you fire up a virtual machine with Windows because you need to use a single program you’ve not found a good replacement for. GOOD END
