The good news about the Cleveland Guardians… they won’t be dashing my hopes this September/october… Two pitchers suspended for cheating/gambling but even worse - the lowest batting average in all of baseball
I make games - co-op games - Left 4 Dead, portal, etc - now The Anacrusis.

Not going to subscribe to a new gaming news site that uses Twitter... sorry. Not really, you chose hate over my subscription and I think we are both comfortable with that I guess.

Yeah still makes no sense how they went from this to windows phone….
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Awesome!

Chatting with someone and was reminded of this... Yes, a Left 4 Dead 2 Zune player... we almost didn't give them away and kept them... still think about it - it was really heavy. If you don't know what zune is, go ask your grandpa.

I am exhausted by these takes... yes developers are stoopid! Or no... the article is clearly the CEO framing how they handle feedback in a way that shows why they often ignore the loudest voices... that they use more information available to them to guide updates www.gamesradar.com/games/third-...

Free speech man on another site... If you still have a presence on that site, I just assume you are a racist piece of shit. let's be honest, with all the danny and greggies who look like Hitler youth? its a pretty safe bet.

That the owner of the website that every major gaming publication and organization is on... is openly calling for the deportation of Muslims from western countries really shows how diverse and supportive as a community we really are! The statements around diversity are totally not performative!
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
That's it - the article doesn't - the poster did...
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
That isn’t what he is saying… at all. He is explaining why the loudest voices don’t get their way because the devs incorporate data and other information in their choices not just public feedback. Your take is sensationalizing his response and misframing it.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
When is it time to have a serious talk about the falsehoods published by wired in the Taylor Lorenz piece? How lazy are your fact checkers that you didn’t even check to see many of the creators weee openly talking about their partnership? Without a retraction every thing you print is suspect.

Yeah… she’s not great

The steam dev days where I got to be an emcee! All thanks to missing one single meeting…
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com)
The more that comes out about Taylor Lorenz's @wired.com article... the absolute falsehoods and inaccuracies - ignore her framing and celebration of republicans doing what she falsely claims.... I am not surprised by her, that's her brand. But @wired.com has proven they can't be trusted...

The dems just need to ignore the images of him spotted and declare him dead, do the thing they do, reject reality and just make up a fiction they want and live with that. They should put forth a day of memorializing him and his life...

Is there a term besides fuckhead for dudes like James Carville and Nate Silver? They are right once and we never hear the end of them no matter how times they are wrong after that Or is that just the benefit of being a white man? I can’t think of anyone else afforded this gift.

Musk tried to stop being openly hateful to repair Tesla sales But he can’t help himself and is back on his racist rants it’s okay it’s just on immigrants Almost want to go to a Pax talk today and ask why a blue check never seems bothered by the racist bits and continues to fund a normalize it…

It may not be lady like to announce it but… first poop since her operation!!!! We knew the painkillers would make her constipated and her appetite suppressed but she stopped taking them 12 hours ago and…

Overwhelmed by all the zucchini and tomatoes you are harvesting from your garden this weekend? Don't forget, most foodbanks will welcome homegrown produce... it's really needed now as the price of produce just spiked 40% thanks to tariffs and the kidnapping of migrant workers...

This is really disappointing to see from wired. It’s been debunked that they are paid for articles and numerous creators have come forward showing videos of them talking about the program when they first joined. Not sure what the goal was here, but it clearly wasn’t accurate reporting.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
It comes that way because she blocked me the second I asked her the question... guess the answer is no, there is no harm...
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Seriously are you a fucking 5 year old? The democrats are corrupt and own time machines it seems because some social media people got funds and help to start podcast last month? I am so fucking tired of stupid people like you.

Oh so sorry. There is no preparing for these moments. I hope you are able to find peace.

Nah he knows… it’s too damn early!
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com)
As the early dining @hgamiel.bsky.social is my witness… you know 6pm is too early for dinner when the owner stops by and asks - what are you doing here so early? And communion in the central district continues to be one of my favorite places in Seattle.

Shh… you shouldn’t have to live with the shame… and I wanted to surprise later this afternoon…
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
But… you don’t need a reservation to eat at 8pm! The one plus side.

They blocked me - Taylor Lorenz. I didn’t think my post was inflammatory in a way that would get me a block.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
It’s new and I’ve seen a few mention it some good takes from those involved. This one is really clear www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Bp7hFL/ A little more www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BpueuU/

I really think she just tries to be outrageous and stir up hate without a point but clicks. I find that more offensive than someone getting a stipend to help them grow their liberal voice.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com)
I am never going to learn am I? When someone replies without a point but wants me to work to create their point… they never have a point that they will be able to make themselves… no matter how often I ask for clarification… Though it’s fun to be accused of being paid $8k/month to make videos…
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Fuck off. We all have to live in a world polluted by your utter fucking stupidity.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
So no harm but some more liberal creators are being helped to produce more content and learning more skills. Gotcha!
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Yep! EVIL! That’s why I ask about what the harm is…
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
So a fund started last month has a Time Machine? That’s cool! That you think questioning her motives and goals makes me funded by sixteen thirty? Cool!
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
They weren’t paid to post specific content but it was more like a stipend and new - it literally just started. So again. We are agreeing they should be more transparent but while the article discusses real harm done by right wing groups there has been no harm done here?
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
First - I don't think any of these people are journalists Many of the people mentioned have spoken out against Israel and for Palestine and still do-so? But I have seen people like Scott Galloway on the Verge and others be very openly anti-Palestinian pro-Israel and have nothing to do with this
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
They updated the article to reflect that isn't true... but let's say it is - what is the harm being done. What harm to the consumers of the content? Has their content changed? I haven't seen it - so what is the harm?
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Oh man... I feel for you - you will find out how your toes are so important and connected to goddamn everything else in your body...
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
I am going to guess, non-english speaker? But I am asking her the harm done by the influencers - what is the harm? A simple question - can you answer it?
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Well.. until she blocked me for asking... you could see it was Taylor Lorenz... but guess i offended her?
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
I didn't she blocked me.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
I have no idea who you are talking about or what you are trying to say.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
To those who don't know - the program just started - so those influencers have already been doing whatever evil you want to claim they have been... for years... for free.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
And she blocked me...
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Thanks for the great fucking insight.. now I see why you are muted.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Have you followed any of the creators involved? The program has existed for less than 2 months... they are just continuing to be themselves - can you point to a creator that changed?
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
What do you mean?
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
And Taylor if you are going to call every liberal money source notorious… can we start calling your responses hysterical?
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com)
Taylor… anyone… while Taylor uses charged language throughout her article… everyone is notorious… And does a bunch of strawmanning and false equivalency throughout the article to build a - what could happen … What is the actual harm being done here past not being transparent? I don’t understand.
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
Ah. Sorry used to only seeing it visually

What time do you eat dinner? I'm meeting some friends this afternoon for dinner... I originally said 8-9pm... they could only get drinks because... they will eat late for me - 6pm 6pm Is the brunch menu still in play? Can you order cocktails? They are from Spokane so they live on a farm but...
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com)
See this kid? Who would think he would grow up to be a text spamming little bitch who “could see” the national guard being deployed in “some parts” of Arizona (which parts?!?! Sigh)… but isn’t worried enough to speak out about it… and don’t condition that “aid” to Israel you fucking twat.

3am and it’s Boris time since we just celebrated bela doing cat things and Boris is left a little attention starved today. Anyone else have that with multiple pets and the balance between them all? We try and not have favorites but… end up having favorites in the moment at least.

And this is all to say... when I block you and you think "it was for no reason" this is the reason...
Chet Faliszek (@chetsucks.com) reply parent
And they always do the bullshit thing of follow me right before the first post... cuz I'd never block a person following me right? Wrong. We are living in world where there are normal people living on top of an entire culture of the stupidest fucking people who demand our attention.

If you make a post like the first one? Fuck you. Linking to an hour long video where I am supposed play scoobydoo and solve the mystery of - why? Nah... I'll just ask and get reply 2... it is always the stupidest fucking people who I should just block out of hand... I never said that... bro.
