What you’re describing is not exactly gaming, but a different hobby entirely which is sometimes referred to as benchmarking. I’ve dabbled in it myself for some games, and the goal isn’t to experience and talk about the game as it is, but to figure out how to benchmark, best settings for performance and all that jazz.

Discussions about specific games for their merits are still very much alive on the internet though, you usually have to go to reddit and look for a dedicated subreddit for the game you’re interested in or their itch/discord if it’s a small indie game.

Damn that’s tough bro, unlucky

Conflicted if this is actually good.

On one hand, Twitter has become a real neo-nazi platform that openly spreads misinformation/propaganda/rage-bait in the guise of ‘free speech’ with the owner also abusing their powers by stealing handles and censoring and whatnot. The world would be better off without it if it were to die.

On the other, Twitter is still quite a big name with a lot of influence, with alternatives being much more niche. If every decent person was to leave the platform and all that’s left are neo-nazis and “good-faith-neither-left-nor-right-people-who-always-strangely-support-the-right”, it’s just going to make recruitment much easier.

Wonder how it’s actually going to be enforced. Judging from the article, it’ll all be up to the tech companies themselves which historically didn’t turn out to be that effective (examples: age fields on services like Discord and Gmail and porn).

The only effective way I can think of is having to send a picture of your ID but that’s hella invasive
