I notice it because the signal drowns out the noise. It's so hard to browse or find interesting new games made by passionate devs because so much low-effort barely-games and hentai visual novels flood it all out.
I'm all for adult sex games but jfc it's just sad how awful and unending their presence is.
I used to support them but when they opened the floodgates to trash games I didn't get much reason to stick around. I miss and crave curation over volume. If both stores have heaps of garbage and steam has far better Linux support with valve actively contributing to and improving the Linux ecosystem.... I'm going steam most of the time now.
Sad as in theory I would support gog more but it seems like they've discarded what made them special.
Indeed, I just don't bother. That energy can and should be used in more meaningful, impactful ways like protests and policy changes. Which isn't much but it's the best we got.

There's plenty of those, too...

In April of 2023, right-wing podcaster Steven Crowder announced that he and his wife, Hilary, were divorcing—an event, he explained to listeners of Louder with Crowder, to which he did not consent. She “didn’t want to be married anymore,” he said, “and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.”
Crowder, upset, lamented: “My beliefs don’t matter.”
Fuck you. You consent to be in a marriage, not out.
It's also a laundering scheme to make free software proprietary.
Ah. I usually conflate the two under "internet archive".
What's the second?
Every now and then I see a parent having a tender moment with their child and I smile. I then reflect on whether my vasectomy shirk of parenthood was the right choice.
I always come to the conclusion that it was. Perhaps when I'm older I will feel differently but I just can't imagine that in my life for a long time.
That's a strange logical fallacy but you do you.
